Elementary pilot - differences between DVD screener and TV premiere

[kylara]

Here's a list of differences between the DVD screener and the TV premiere (the iTunes version) of Elementary 1.01 pilot. I opened up one version in one window and the other version in another window and watched them side-by-side. This made it pretty easy to notice different cuts, but more difficult to notice differences in music or when a line was

Ooh, very thorough. I never did watch the early-release screener, so it's interesting to know what the differences are.

Interesting - and very exacting of you to notice the one second differences!

Do you know if they ever sorted out their illegal music use problem?

It wasn't difficult to notice the one second differences, since suddenly the two versions would be out of synch since I was playing them side-by-side.

Yeah, they licensed the music, so everybody's happy.

I'm relieved to know they licensed the music. (What were they thinking?)

Thanks for doing this.

Ooh, very nice! When I was watching the pilot on TV I was wondering if there were any differences (I didn't notice any, ahah) and here comes this incredibly useful and nifty post :) Thank you for compiling this, I would never have noticed any of this for myself!

Interesting, thanks!

I know the screener had a lot of Zoe Keating's cello music, which at the time was un-paid-for. Zoe's said that CBS did license her music after everyone made a fuss, but I didn't notice if they were still using as much of it once they had to pay. I hope so... it was over a lot of the deep, dramatic, thinky bits, so I was kind of hoping those would become regular soundtrack for the show whenever the dramatic thinky bits happen.

Wow! That took a lot of work! Kudos for dedication!

I think I'll stick with the screener version, then...

Damn, I'm already in love with that show. I must be a sucker for Sherlock in all its versions. I'll admit, at first, I cringed at the idea of making Watson a woman.
I mean... it's the 21th Century, there's no need for that to bring romance, right? BBC's Sherlock and the most recent Sherlock Holmes movies have shown you can play with it very well.
But... in the end... Holmes (or should I say Doyle's?) world is pretty deprived of women. Because of the era, because, also, because he was into guys himself... (hence... Holmes and Watson...) The first episode gave me a few scenes that won me over. Yes, it doesn't look like it'll be pointless to swap the gender for Watson. Joan brings a softness, another kind of intuition and sensibility. So far it's interesting.

Well... I'll shut up now before my comment gets longer than your post! ^^
