For those who have seen the Season Finale of Castle
A little Castle Photoshop [link]
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I cannot believe that CSI iteration has been picked up.
Damn.
Person of Interest: Well, that was apocalyptic.
Did anyone see what happened to Fusco?
Last we saw he was calling for a medic when someone got shot by British guy with sling.
The Elementary finale was very tell, not show.
Jeez, seriously. The one thing I liked is that it didn't go for the obvious move of Sherlock shooting up heroin to get Joan to stay (which is what I expected).
Bedelia!
Who is Achilles in this parallel?
And... Damn, Will. Way to make Jack the bait.
The Elementary finale was very tell, not show.
On the other hand, the "tell" was about events, the "show" was about character. So I did not hate that aspect. What did not work for me is what has not worked for any Buffista: Mycroft. He was miscast. To play the Mycroft they were going for, they needed an actor with more charisma or at least sex appeal. No way I can believe Joan finds him attractive. Also, they have done very little to show him Holmes' equal in deductive ability and manipulation, let alone his superior as in the Doyle canon. Mycroft is badly written as well as badly cast.
Mycroft is very tall. Put a not particularly handsome mug on great long stilts of legs and for some reason, to some people, it really works. I went to my high school homecoming dance with a guy who was a foot taller than I. We wrote Dr. Who fanfic together before Dr. Who was cool, I'd have gone with him anyway. But he had much more interest from other girls than can be accounted for by his looks or their nerdiness alone.
