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.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

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.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I think I might be sharing a brain with WindSparrow.
(the interactions between the boys are what I love most. Both Ryan and Esposito measuring Castle's fame made this week's episode worth it.)

Rewatching Due South makes me doubly appreciative of Ryan and Esposito - they are the anti-Huey&Louie
