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

Wow, Castle. You generally stretch my suspension of disbelief pretty thin, but how exactly did they get loverboy from place to place without him looking out the car window?

Uh, never mind every other "NO ONE WOULD DO THAT" consideration.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Handwavium in the tank?

Made him lie down under a blanket in the backseat so he wouldn't be seen. Easy peasy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Psych's 70s episode kicked Castle"s 70s episode's ass, in my opinion, but I loved 70's Ryan and Esposito and especially Lainie just so much.

It actually worked better for me than I thought it would from the ads. Lainie was especially great, and Ryan getting character.

As long as you don't walk to or from a car, sure. I know at least once he wasn't hooded then.

I hate when they indulge the loopy person (Ma Castle, not the guy being interviewed) so it was exasperating from the start.

Oh, right. Well, he was faking it most of the time. So. they were lucky there.

I'm not sure I like this. Why can't Mycroft just be Mycroft?

Because books.

I don't usually watch and I tuned in tonight -- is this Mycroft always sort of evil?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Man, I dislike Elementary's Mycroft. And I generally like Rhys Ifans (although major ICK on Joan sleeping with him [not because he's Sherlock's brother, but because I don't find him attractive]). But I have no idea what the show is doing with his character. I want the restaurant business to be a front for his Super Secret world government whatnot. And I want him to just be...not so offputting.

I pretty much don't compare Cumberbatch's Sherlock with Miller's Sherlock, but I can't help but compare the rest of the cast. BBC Mycroft is so damn perfect that Elementary Mycroft makes me sad. (Of course, the flip side is that I loathe BBC Moriarty but think that Elementary Moriarty is brilliant and perfect.)

After this week's SHIELD and Arrow, I have zero feels left, so I can't get myself too worked up about Joan getting kidnapped. I think I *should*, but all my feels have been depleted already. Stupid Arrow.

And Sherlock stashing away the heroin was unsurprising. I may have *some* feels about that.

is this Mycroft always sort of evil?

I have NO idea what the show is doing with him! I assume there's actually some Big Plan behind the scenes (within the show, I mean), but not knowing at least the outline of that plan is making me like him less and less.

(I had to edit this post for typos so many times that I definitely need to go to bed NOW.)
