Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Right on!

(And, yes, please -- a heads-up!)

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

On location in College Point. It'll be the eleventh episode of the season. I'll probably be a giddy jerk who'll let you all know where you might see me and want a watch and post.

IOPN, tomorrow is Blue Bloods. I've only seen it twice and I liked it fine, but it's not the visceral thrill of Elementsary... My call is also in six hours, so, nighty. :)

Elementary: OK so yet another continuing character with a tragic past. While I don't like the back story for various reasons, I don't hate Kitty, but don't think she will work well on this show if she gets much screen time. If they feel the need for an additional continuing character to interact with Joan and Holmes, why not bring back their freaking awesome version of Mrs. Hudson? I can totally see her filling the detection role they seem to be assigning to Kitty, someone who makes key common sense (and often earthy) observations that play critical roles in solving cases.

For anyone still interested, Castle was way fun and very touching, if a little sappy at the end, but I think it was deserved.

It was, and from the promo, it looks like the next one will be as well. I think they figured out they were taking the fun out of the show, and made a course correction.

I was wanting to watch it, but then we went into alternate universe world, and I couldn't take it. Maybe next week.

For those who get MHZ, Sebastian Bergman has to be the most repulsive lead on a detective series ever. Not the most evil, but awful and selfish in a petty, spiteful, way. For example, this is a guy who picks up women for one night stands by making an emotional connection and then never calls again. And goes to group therapy sessions to pick up vulnerable women. (In case I did not mention Swedish series.)

For all the Nordic countries are supposed to be highly civilized, they sure turn out some weird popular entertainment.

BTW, I liked the alternate universe aspect. "Castle" works best with craziness and a light touch. "I ran out on our wedding, then had my memory medically altered, but I'm sure I had a good reason - trust me." is too dark as a continuing theme. I get the feeling Show is going to say from now no, "we are all forgetting that ever happened, and we hope the audience will too."

It was the au thing after the memory thing that put me off. The au thing as part of a scenario where he was trying to decide if he should propose would be good. I've been rewatching the early seasons, so an AU of those days could be fun.
