1. Joan Watson / Lucy Liu will be a resplendent blonde in a variety of chic ensembles and we will remain very unworthy witnesses.

SPOILER ALERT FOR THE REST:

2. The season starts where we left off in London (tho filmed in New York).

3. Kitty and Archie make an appearance.

4. S&J almost immediately return to New York. (Where the writers will no doubt ham-fistedly try to make up for Gregson’s galling betrayal in one episode – if not one short scene.) (TURNS OUT IT’S GONNA BE A COUPLE OF EPISODES)

I’m going to guess that Gregson came to his senses and made Hannah turn herself in. JW will immediately forgive, while SH will brood.

But wouldn’t it be cool if Hannah got killed, and S&J were called back to solve it? (THAT WOULD BE COOL, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE GREGSON’S GOING TO GET GUT SHOT, WHICH INITIATES THEIR RETURN. HANNAH COULD STILL KICK THE BUCKET THO.)

5. And of course, the whole “Bell going to the marshals” storyline was so much fake BS – JMH was never going to leave.

6. Oh, and speaking of schmuck bait – a season wasted on the whole adoption thing, which we KNEW was going to come either crashing down or end up completely ignored. To wit:

From https://tvline.com/2018/11/08/veronica-mars-revival-tina-majorino-mac-hulu-season-4/ ELEMENTARY: Joan’s desire to adopt a child has hit a potentially permanent snag. Asked if there are plans to continue exploring the storyline in Season 7, showrunner Rob Doherty replies, “Not immediately. The end of the sixth season was a pretty good example of the degree of difficulty that exists for a prospective parent like Joan Watson. Her job is unique, her living situation is unique.” And while Joan was “ready” for all of those complications, “the end of the season is a reminder that it’s dangerous to be a friend of Joan’s, let alone a son or daughter.”



7. There’s a murder at their favorite faux search engine: Odker.

8. Jonny directed another ep this season, which apparently contains one of the biggest stunts they’ve ever done – looked like a big truck wreck under a train track.



9. The 150th episode finds the gang looking like their usual selves in the squad room.

10. Lucy directed episode 11 titled “Unfriended.”

11. Among the locations spotted: several cemeteries, an indoor rock-climbing facility, a gorgeous beach house, the Trenton River bridge (more on that later).

12. Okay, here come the BIG SPOILERS:

MORLAND APPARENTLY DIES in LL’s episode

13. RHW posted that the writers haven’t been informed one way or another about a pickup for Season 8 or a back 9 for Season 7, making it more likely that this week is the series wrap. And…

14. @nairobiwonders​ wonders if the series finale will include some kind of Reichenbach homage:

I found the above online, which would perhaps lead one to believe that is so, as does this location:

15. Just within the last couple days (12/11/18), there was a morning show set with J-Dub appearing as a glamorous blonde. Which I have no guesses or predictions about (tho maybe she’s pleading with the public to find a missing Holmes or Moriarty?) but it’s just so rare to see any pics of LL online these days… :)



16. RHW posted that the writers haven’t been informed one way or another about a pickup for Season 8 or a back 9 for Season 7, making it more likely that this week is the series wrap.



And as much crap as I give these writer/producers for the sub-par scripts they produce, I will so miss seeing the crew and LL, JLM et al in action both bts and on screen as Holmes and Watson, and surely will be bawling as the finale wrap party pics start rolling in…
