For anyone may have started watching Elementary because of me, here's a warning that s6e18 "The Visions of Norman P. Horowitz" is centered around Simulation Theory and delusions regarding telling the future and it can be very triggering if you struggle with delusions.

Wow That's A Lot of Gold On Elementary

I have a theory: the Elementary costume crew wanted an excuse to put Sherlock in white tie. That’s the best explanation I have for why Sherlock spends the first quarter of this show in exactly that. But don’t get me wrong, he looked good, and I loved it.

Elementary: The Visions of Norman P. Horowitz (6x18)

I'm always pretty proud of myself when I figure out a good mystery ahead of time.

Cons:

I often praise Elementary for avoiding unnecessary melodrama, and I stand by that. But this episode starts with a premise that Sherlock Holmes is going to be shot on a given day, and that idea is not explored whatsoever. I'm not saying it should have happened, or we should have had weepy worried friends refusing to leave Sherlock's side... but I wanted a bit more concern, a bit more paranoia, maybe a bit more drama.

If I could pinpoint the biggest problem overall with Elementary, I'd have to say it would be the fact that this show is on CBS, and has more than twenty episodes a season. The pacing always gets wonky. There's always a mid-season slump. There's always a lack of momentum. We've just introduced the return of a serial killer, which is all sorts of exciting, but this episode contains none of that. It also contains nothing of the season's other subplots, like Joan's quest to adopt a child, or Bell's career advancement. This episode could be dropped in at any point in the season, or even in previous seasons, and you wouldn't be able to tell. That's a shame.

Pros:

The case of the week was actually a lot of fun. I predicted almost immediately that the "prophecies" coming true was an inside job by Norman's brother and sister-in-law. Actually, at first I thought it was just the sister-in-law, but you get my point. The very first scene they were in, I felt suspicious of them, and it was satisfying to see that suspicion play out. I also like the fact that Sherlock Holmes got played - this wasn't a case where he was an outside observer who took a while to come to the right answer. This was a case where the murderer sought him out, and manipulated him into getting involved. Sherlock inadvertently helps the bad guys out quite a bit before he finally figures out what's going on. That's a nice little subversion of the usual pattern.

I also just thought the concept was fun. Elementary is pretty good at taking ACD originals and examining them through the lens of modern concerns and technology. This show also likes to examine strange conspiracy theories and internet culture. I don't think the show is trying to make fun of people who believe in these things, and it's also not trying to voice support for any of these theories. But by studying these conspiracies, like the idea that we're all part of a Matrix-style simulation and are being used for entertainment, we can draw some conclusions about the anxieties facing certain types of people in the real world. I think this show does a good job of being a spring-board for these kinds of thoughts, even if it doesn't go super in-depth about them.

Because of the potential threat to his life, Sherlock contemplates what will happen to his estate when he dies. He is leaving everything to Joan, but when the two of them look into his accounts, it appears that vast sums have been stolen. Sherlock quickly surmises that the family lawyer is responsible, and gets the funds returned to him in the form of bullion. He decides to donate the bulk of his money, still leaving Joan the remainder of Sherlock's estate.

I love this because it doesn't feel like it's coming out of the blue. Sherlock has always been willing to throw his family name around when it will help him in his work, but he's always been made uncomfortable by the money and the invisible empire that goes along with it. As a second son, I'm sure he also has a complicated relationship with the very concept of inheritance, as all of the money Mycroft would have received from Morland will now go to Sherlock upon Morland's death. Obviously it's sweet that Joan is Sherlock's only individual recipient, although it's difficult to imagine who else he would leave anything to. Maybe Kitty? Regardless, I'm proud of him for giving most of the money away to charity, especially because he does so thoughtfully, considering the charities that Joan supports and acting accordingly.

I think that's all I've got for now. This was a solid, if somewhat unremarkable, episode of Elementary. I enjoyed most of it, but I'm looking forward to some more story-arc content in the coming weeks.

8.5/10

Warning for Elementary S06E18...

...“The Visions of Norman P. Horowitz”: around 17:00 (the scene where Joan, Sherlock and Marcus watch the security tape of what happened on the roof) they show someone commit suicide by jumping off a roof. As I said, it’s on a security tape, so in the next scene Sherlock replays it a couple of times. There is also a screen cap of the video on Sherlock’s computer at around 26:00, during the scene between Sherlock, Joan and Baskerville. I personally found it pretty disturbing, so please take care of yourselves.

Apple and Google execs named to a Saudi advisory board amid controversy over reportedly murdered journalist

More than a dozen high profile tech executives, including famous venture capital investors Marc Andreessen and former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick are part of a newly announced advisory panel for a $500 billion Saudi mega-city project.

The panel was announced as much of the focus on Saudi Arabia turns towards the fate of a Saudi dissident who disappeared after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. 

Shortly after the list of advisors was published, the list was changed and Apple's Jony Ive was no longer on the list. 

  An array of high-profile business and technology leaders, including senior executives from Google and Apple were named to a new advisory board for the Saudi Arabian government on Tuesday, even as controversy swirls over the disappearance of a dissident Saudi journalist.

On Tuesday, the Saudi news outlet Argaam reported that Neom — a $500 billion megacity project being built by the country — has formed a new 19-member advisory board. Members include Apple's chief design officer Jony Ive; famed tech industry investor Marc Andreessen; Dan Doctoroff, CEO of Google's urban planning unit Sidewalk Labs; Travis Kalanick, ex-CEO of Uber; former European Commission vice president Neelie Kroes; ex-Dow Chemical Company CEO Andrew Liveris, and Silicon Valley investor Sam Altman.

Shortly after the list was published and as reporters reached out to individuals about their involvement, Apple's Ive was quietly removed from the list of names. The announcement was changed to promote a panel of 18 advisors, rather than the initial 19.

While Saudi Arabia was trumpeting its list of high-profile tech advisors, much of the news on Saudi Arabia was focused on the fate of Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi government who disappeared after visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey last week. The New York Times and several other news organizations report that Khashoggi was murdered by a team of 15 Saudi agents inside the consulate. A report in the Guardian on Tuesday says that Turkish authorities are focused on a black van seen leaving the consulate that they believe was carrying Khashoggi's body. 

The panel of tech and policy bigwigs will presumably help turn the sci-fi-like vision of Neom into a reality. According to Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, Neom will provide a "civilizational leap for humanity" with a foundation of robots, AI and renewable energy.

Business Insider reached out to the members of the advisory board for comment about their involvement and whether they would remain on the board following Khashoggi's disappearance, and will update this story if they respond. (Timothy Collins, Janvan Hest, and Rob Speyer could not be reached for comment.) 

Here's the initial 19-member list, according to Argaam:

1) Sam Altman, the president of Y Combinator and the co-chair of OpenAI

2) Marc Andreessen, co-founder and general partner of Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz

3) Tim Brown, CEO and president of IDEO

4) Timothy Collins, vice chairman and CEO of Ripplewood Advisors

5) Alexandra Cousteau, a senior advisor to Oceana

6) Dan Doctoroff, founder and CEO of Sidewalk Labs

7) Norman Robert Foster, founder and CEO of Foster + Partners

8) Janvan Hest, a chemistry professor

9) Jonathan Ive, Apple's chief design officer

10) Travis Kalanick, CEO of City Storage Systems

11) Neelie Kroes, a retired Dutch politician and vice-president of the European Commission

12) Andrew N. Liveris, former CEO and chairman of Dow Chemical Company

13) Ernest Moniz, founder of Energy Futures Initiative

14) Marc Raibert, a former Carnegie Mellon University professor and a founder of Boston Dynamics

15) Carlo Ratti, a professor of Urban Technologies and Planning, and director of SENSEable City Lab

16) John Rossant, founder and chairman of the New Cities Foundation

17) Masayoshi Son, a Japanese business magnate and chief executive officer of Japanese holding conglomerate SoftBank

18) Rob Speyer, Tishman Speyer president and chief executive officer

19) Peter Voser, chairman of ABB.

Elementary 6x18 "The Visions of Norman P. Horowitz"

★★★★★★★★★☆

[221brownstone]

6x18 The Visions of Norman P. Horowitz  BTS with Director Lucy Liu!

"Preparing for a first team rehearsal. Armed with the finder to check the size for the master."

"It’s not always serious! Joking around with the cast before the shot."

"Reviewing playback to ensure we have what we need before we move on to the next set-up."

"Giving some notes to my fellow castmates after our reading rehearsal."

"Talking push-in speeds for the next shot with our dolly operator, Jazz."

"Setting up for a scene with a crane in a 'one-er.' A 'one-er' is a scene which is captured without coverage so it plays out in only one long shot. This requires a lot of coordinating details -- from the movement of the camera and the actors, to the background, as well as timing for the different moving vehicles in the frame. In this photo I’m talking to Carlos, our 'A' camera operator, about the crane movement and speed to ensure the correct timing of the scene."

"When I’m not acting in a scene, I’m able to walk through with the finder and first team which is always a nice way to leave one hat behind."
