A Star Trek/Sherlock Holmes/iPhone/iPad Crossover

I use Win XP Pro and I noticed that when I installed TurboTax for this tax season, it required that I install an update to .NET framework (2 computers.) I was not thrilled. I figured that TT had been redesigned this year favoring Windows 7 since no update was required last year.

Did you install TT this year?

No Turbo Tax for me. I just use a spreadsheet and a corkscrew.

That's all I have to offer, guess-wise. I gave up using your method around 2000 or so.

I think I found the culprit - EyeFi requires Adobe Air requires .net framework 4. I love Adobe.

Maybe off-topic; but I watched the first Holmes last night and was a bit confused. Doesn't Holmes say he had Adler's phone for SIX MONTHS? Isn't that a heck of time jump during the show?

At about the hour mark, When Watson meets Adler in the factory, Adler says something like 'I don't think so,' which hangs in the air, apropos of nothing I could connect. Any thoughts on that? I don't think it turns out to be relevant to the plot; but it was a weird exchange I thought.

At Watson's insistance, Adler had just texted Holmes "I'm not dead. Let's have dinner." Several more lines of exchanged dialogue between Adler & Watson and then we (and they) hear the woman's sighing ringtone, the text tone that Adler had installed into Holmes' phone while she had his coat (phone in pocket of coat.) Cut to Holmes standing nearby in the building and then walking away down a hallway (obviously having followed Watson without his knowledge.) As Watson moves toward Adler and makes to go after Holmes, Adler holds up her hand, palm towards him and says, "I don't think so, do you?", indicating that neither of them should go after Holmes. Fade to black; a new scene begins with Holmes on the street.

I'm presently watching this episode.

Haven't gotten to anything yet regarding "six months" but the apartment is still decorated for Christmas. It is, in fact, New Year's Eve.

Aha. Six months passed wherein Adler played dead and Holmes had the phone for safekeeping, a ploy by Adler to see if (the government's smartest) anyone could break into her 4-digit pass-code locked phone. He could not and it seems she now had the upper hand and played it. This is not how it ends and I'll not spoil it for others who might not have watched yet.

I love this incarnation of Holmes.

Once Upon a Time (ABC, Sundays 8:00 pm) is another new show relying on iPad tools for production (paragraph 4th from bottom of article.)

Just between you and me, I love Once Upon a Time. As always, Robert Carlyle is brilliant

All the best, woz of oz

I note once again that you and I are soul-mates when it comes to books, music, and TV/film preferences.

Thanks Lelisa. That was sort of my take too; but it seemed like they made such a big point of it. I did rewatch it some and came to the same conclusion; but the time period still seems to be a bit contradictory. Adler disappears for that long, comes back, the plot concludes, and then she goes away again and we get that little postscript with Holmes and Adler? Complaints aside, this was the best installment of this series so far, by a lot. Not that I don't like the others. And of course Moriarty is cool.

I'm recording Sherlock right now, and looking forward to watching it later. I do find it entertaining on some level, but I'm starting to get a bit tired of Sherlock's extreme weirdness and his supernatural abilities. It's one thing to be super smart and observant, but how could he (or anyone) possibly correctly identify a substance under someone's fingernails from 20 paces? I want Sherlock to be human. An extraordinary human to be sure, but still human.
