On the most minor of notes, I like that you see Sherlock working out on Elementary. People on TV always have great bodies, but are rarely actually exercising.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
No worries. I assumed that was the case.
I was talking to someone...MiracleMan, possibly. Or maybe my brother...about how the new series take different aspects of the canonical character to bring to the forefront, usually at the cost of another aspect of the character, so you get these highly divergent portrayals that are all legitimately rooted in the Doyle.

Doyle disliked Holmes. I wonder what he would think of today's veneration? Or, knowing him, he'd be utterly delighted at the financial success.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Right. There's definitely a degree to which it's not so much nuanced portrayal as shoddy characterization continuity based on utter disdain for the character.
It amuses the shit out of me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wonder what he would think of today's veneration?
Wasn't unrepentant veneration what forced him to resurrect him in the first place? I expect he'd just be tired...

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I don't know if anyone still watches SVU. I don't, but the latest episode had John Munch's retirement. It's the opening scene and the closing scene with a dreary regular episode in beteeen.
There were a couple of lovely Homicide flash-backs and call-backs.
Also, Richard Beltzer bears a strong resemblance to Joe the Camel.

Always Anti-fascist!
May have to watch that one. Yes, as he's gotten older, he got camelly.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Latest Castle: OK the strong indications that this week that we were dealing with real time travelers should have made this a fun episode. And yet, I found it one of the least fun episodes in a long time even less fun than Beckett in DC. Is it just my bad mood, or were none of the jokes funny? And the chemistry between Beckett and Castle seemed almost non-existent. Castles enthusiasm for woo-woo in the fact of grotesque murder seem more grating to me than it usually does. And the "it was really time travel - maybe" did not save it for me. I have been in a really bad mood lately, so is it just my not being in the mood for whimsy or did this episode seem really off to anyone besides me?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It wasn't the best ep ever, but it was well within the Castle norm.

I just can't get over Pi. I think Castle is perfectly reasonable about not wanting him underfoot and thinking he's a waste of everything as far as Alexis is concerned, but one of them needs a bit more nonchalance (and Pi needs an accident with a woodchipper) because parents being right doesn't count for as much as they'd like. Stop sadfacing at each others, and just DO.
