hee hee. Windsparrow, I got a kick out of your description even though I know the geography too.

Oh! I thought I had answered this this morning. Oops.

So she has a wedding dress and all the fixings on hand from the former engagement, is the theory?

So she has a wedding dress and all the fixings on hand from the former engagement, is the theory?

Yes. Presumably she wasn't totally bullshitting with all that goop she was talking to the other bride after Jane told her to talk the woman into going through with her wedding so that he could have the killer reveal himself at the reception.

I love James Spader but Lizzie is so. fucking. stupid. that it BURNS.

why is she searching for the secret files on her home fucking laptop?

Why is she hiding shit (badly) from her husband? She works for the FBI, she can just say "sorry, honey, it's classified" and that's the end of it. Instead, she's hiding shit under a legal pad and crossing out shit SHE WROTE DOWN on said legal pad.

(I've accepted the ridiculousness of submitting the bullet without paperwork, although if the shit was THAT redacted, they probably wouldn't have given it to her in the first damned place)

But, I will not accept "I forgot my badge, can I just look around while you check". Seriously? It's a fucking FBI storage facility and anyone can just roll in? SERIOUSLY.

I really want to like this show, but the situations don't make any damned sense and they expect you to believe that all of this shit "just happens" to Lizzie.

The whole "I'm going to talk to you and you're going to tell me your evil plan because I read people" bit. And a trained killer who makes bodies disappear completely knows how to tie fucking zip ties so that the stupid FBI agent stays in the freaking wheelchair!!!!

And the "paralytic drug" trope always irritates me because if you are paralyzed, you can't freaking breathe. Also, chemistry-istas, is it possible to have a drug that completely dissolves flesh and bone, but doesn't damage the finish of the tub?

Ugh. If James Spader wasn't so good . . .

Definitely back in fun Castle land. Not quite enough Rynsposito (TM) (sorry), but definitely the Castle I prefer.

(pointing) - what Vortex said.

Also, chemistry-istas, is it possible to have a drug that completely dissolves flesh and bone, but doesn't damage the finish of the tub?

Gotta say, these actual words came out of my actual mouth during the episode.

Plus? Dissolving the bodies fully clothed in a tub with a normal drain that seemed undamaged. "Rub your fingers around the drain for the flesh eating chemicals?"

Even if such a chemical cocktail would really liquify a body so much that it runs down the drain like shampoo bubbles, wouldn't that take DAYS, if not weeks? But yet the smell of the chemicals lingered but the chemicals did not burn Lizzie's skin or nose.

I'm no chemist but...

And, a paralytic drug that makes it impossible to move one's arms, Raggedy Ann style, but leaves the vocal chords, tongue and lips uneffected. Not even a slur. Right.

I love James Spader in this role, and will stick with it but I think I'm going to have to watch the good bits with one eye closed and then switch for the rubbish...that doesn't have to be so rubbishy!

One last picky point, and then I'll get over it.

The chemicals are so toxic that Badguy wears a gas mask but allows his beloved pooch to breathe it in...and no one at the Red Roof Inn noticed the smell. Feh.

On the totally other hand, I love that Tom Noonan got to reprise his Dollarhyde role.

I don't watch that show but - depends on what the tub is made of. If it's plastic, HF won't damage it but will dissolve the fuck out of a body.

I don't watch that show but -

I do watch Breaking Bad...

Just kidding. Plenty avenues for that knowledge. It's just the place I feel the most educated (and not a little outraged).
