Will Sherlock & Morland Reconcile? John Noble Previews His ‘Elementary’ Return
Preview
By now, we’ve come to expect on Elementary that any time wealthy businessman Morland Holmes (John Noble) shows up in New York City, bad things will happen — and his estranged son, police consultant Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller), will be forced to intervene.
Monday’s episode of the procedural drama veers off that track, though. Something shocking has already happened that causes both men great pain and prompts a rapprochement.
“Sherlock wants to bury the hatchet,” teases Noble. “It’s a huge change from the past.”
While father and son work on repairing their fractured relationship, Morland finds himself in the crosshairs of an assassin. “There’s an old, very dangerous enemy trying to take him out,” says the actor. (Considering Morland has been trying to quietly dismantle the European criminal organization built by Sherlock’s nemesis Moriarty, we’d bet it has something to do with that.)

But with Sherlock suffering from a brain injury and reeling from the discovery that his pal Michael (Desmond Harrington) is a serial killer, the hero may not be able to save dear old Dad again.

Noble always reminds me of The Joker, from Batman. Even without the makeup.

So often actors cast as relatives are completely unbelievable (remember Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman, and Matthew Broderick as grandfather, father, and son? yikes!) but Noble and Miller really match up well. They even make the same sour expression when they're trying to look haughty. (See the photo with this article!) Really good casting.

Everybody raves about John Noble, but I do not care for him as an actor. To me he is very one note, and his voice puts me to sleep. He's one of those guys that no matter what part he is playing, it is the same person.

I'd have preferred to see Sherlock and Mycroft bonding after Morland's death.

Agreed. I wonder why they "killed" Mycroft? It's not like he was a regular, and the actor wanted to do other things. It seems totally unnecessary, a bad (unnecessary) plot device.
