I love Spader but am getting a little tired of the Blacklist.
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I only watched my first ep last night. Wasn't the first one because I was at Hulu's mercy but I liked it enough to watch more.
Eta: and I adore James Spader. His voice is kryptonite.

You know, I like Tricia Helfer, and I really wanted to like her new show, but it's a bunch of crap filled with tired tropes and unbelievable story lines. And Marc Blucas has unfortunate facial hair.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's kind of a relief? I feel like it was being presented as something I ought to like, but also that I would not like it

I liked the first couple but this last one was painful.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Yes, definitely a disappointment (and up against 2 other shows I like, I suppose this becomes "if one of the others has a re-run, then I guess maybe").

Always Anti-fascist!
Castle: I'm a dick, I guess, but I read the "Formulaic" comment and said "Lately?" But I guess it's not fair to comment on something I saw five times and never really liked because I figured out the reveal in three minutes. Oh, and the precinct coatrack kept stealing scenes from Stana Katic. (/bitchy critic)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I continue to enjoy Castle - because I like the characters, and always have. Even when the show isn't at it's best it sort of feels like checking in with friends.
ETA: It doesn't hurt that I have a huge crush on Nathan Fillion. So there is really no objectivity in my enjoyment of the show as a procedural.

And once they eased up the obsession on the Kate's mother thing it's a lot better. It's good background tv.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Zoe: I wasn't planning on the dirt kissin', sir.
Wash: I wouldn't stand for it anyway, Captain. Jealous man like me.
