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.

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

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.

Maybe I will rewatch when less grumpy.

Where's the like for this.

Plus, I loved seeing Joshua Gomez again. I DO miss Chuck.

Yes, this! The rest of the episode could have been awful and I wouldn't have noticed because I was so excited to see him.

He was very fun.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

This is interesting: ABC is apparently considering uncanceling Body of Proof to fill in the gaps left by canceled and underperforming shows. How would that even work? How quickly would they be able to reassemble a cast, crew, writing staff, etc and get a show into production?

Edited because I forgot the link.
