Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Yeah, other than the book tour why the heck wasn't Castle in DC?

I was glad that he fucked things up for her in DC because it showed that there were more issues than the geographic which, as noted, should have been a non- issue from the start.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I suspect we're going to get at least some of the post-proposal/pre-DC story in upcoming episodes.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've been watching "Vera" - English, based on books by Ann Cleeve. It stars Brenda Blethyn and I love hearing the northern-English (I think they're northern) accents. They're really well done, but so so SAD.

Compassionately intolerant

What a fantastic episode of Elementary that was! Great character stuff, fun case, sparkling dialog -- one of the best the show has done. And that letter at the end, oh my.

Vonnie, I really enjoyed this episode too. The not even veiled references to Anonymous, not withstanding.

I love the Victorian romance in Holmes' behavior...and his ingenuity. Especially, the free weights + bicycle rim + fireplace cooking. I doubt it would actually work, but I love the idea of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm the anti-cross-poster what cross posts at midnight: Elementary and Sleepy Hollow writers twitter fight. Spoilery to the degree of photographs of antagonists of each series, and socks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So many sparkly hearts!

I enjoyed this Elementary. I was annoyed by the gratuitous slamming of Snowden. Yeah I know, fictional character - but labeled Snowden in blinking neon. Only the real Snowden went out of his way to avoid exposing people in deep cover - not only agents but sources. Also the real Snowden had no trouble getting dates - had a live in girl friend who was very conventionally attractive. So a minor annoyance. They plot did not required making Ezra/Snowden an exceptionally loathsome murdered. If they decided to make him the bad guy, they did not need to take the gratuitous swipes. I get the impression that the episode writer really hated Snowden, and decided to just make him a cartoon villain. Still like the espisode, cause if I let political disagreement stop me from watching otherwise good stuff, I'd have a pretty short sad list of things I could watch. But still going to bitch about it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

See, I read the making him a murderer as a way out of having to deal with the moral quandry of whether finding him and turning him in was ethical.

That's how I took it too.
