Elementary, S5, Season Finale

The second half of this season had episodes with better storylines. Though it was a foregone conclusion that Shinwell will end up dead sooner or later, I had expected him to last this season to see SBK being destroyed. Clearly, the authors don't believe in happy endings. Anyways, in a way I am glad that the SBK thread won't stretch to cover the next season. It was good to see Watson nabbing the gang's leader without much help from Sherlock.

It came as a shock to discover that Sherlock is suffering from delusions and memory loss. Watson, being a trained doctor, should have spotted the symptoms way before things came to this sorry pass. :-( 

It's a pity because I still have hopes that there will be at least one season dedicated to Holmes and Watson working with the Scotland Yard. There are only so many local crimes that you can weave a story around.
