Flight Risk (1.06) - Episode Discussion

After a small jet crashes killing four people, Holmes battles both the police and the NTSB when he believes one of them was murdered before the crash occurred. Meanwhile, Watson confronts Holmes over a past friend, someone named Irene. ON “ELEMENTARY,” THURSDAY, NOV. 8th 2012[X]

“Flight Risk” – Holmes brings Watson to the site of a plane crash on a beach; among the four victims, he deduces that one of them was murdered. Reviewing further evidence including a recording of the sounds heard on the plane prior to the crash, Holmes comes to the conclusion that sand was used to jam the plane engine, and the murder victim was a man who walked in on the perpetrator at work, his corpse then stuffed in a trunk that caused weight imbalance and the plane's subsequent crash. All evidence points to a plane mechanic who is supposedly smuggling cocaine, but further evidence show that the real murderer is the mechanic's boss. Watson, meanwhile, is called to dinner by Holmes' father, who Holmes claims would never propose such a thing. Watson meets a man claiming to be Sherlock's father, but his cover falters when he laughs at Watson's reaction to a question about sex. Watson later meets with the man (Roger Rees), a former stage actor and friend of Sherlock named Alistair. Alistair explains to Watson how Sherlock once visited him so high, barely able to speak, muttering a certain name, which Alistair tells Watson. Returning to Sherlock's home, Watson asks him who Irene was.[X]

You're welcome, I will watch the episode today. I miss Alistair

mycreativityuppedandleft · 07-10-2015, 11:09 AM

He was fun and taken too soon

I feel like Alistair could have been such a great recurring character.
We barely even knew him before he died!

mycreativityuppedandleft · 07-10-2015, 11:49 AM

I know it was a slight waste and it was so cruel.

I guess it would have been worse if we had known more about him.

After taking Moriarty and giving us Mycroft I guess they felt like we deserved a quick death.

mycreativityuppedandleft · 07-11-2015, 10:37 AM

It was sad to hear the actor who played him died.

b4dark · 07-11-2015, 11:35 AM

That too

Made me so sad even for Sherlock though the friendship is imaginary.

b4dark · 07-14-2015, 12:50 PM

Oh the episdoe starts with them talking about Papa Holmes, he is supposed to eat with them and Sherlock insists that he (Papa) won't make it!

Quote:

Sherlock Holmes: Now, since you're a disgraced ex-surgeon and not a disgraced ex-psychologist, what say you stop analyzing me, okay?
Joan Watson: How did you get from London to New York?

I laughed so hard by myself because of this.
