Here's how obsessive and weird I am: the museum curator in tonight's Elementary started talking, and I knew I knew the actor from somewhere. And I couldn't pin the voice down, but I started thinking maybe community. His face looked familiar, but I still couldn't figure it out. So I hit up IMDB.

He was Mr. Trick on BTVS. That voice!

(Look, I watched S3 a LOT back in the day, and I have a weird, obsessive memory. And if anyone would appreciate it, it would be you guys.)

Who could forget Mr. Trick? He was WOEFULLY underused. He could have been a fabulous Big Bad on his own.

THANK YOU! I knew I knew him!

(As demonstrated by my reaction above).

He was Dr. Dillamond in Wicked the first time I saw it - in case I wasn't already excited enough about Wicked.

Is anybody else still watching Bones, or is it just me? Anyway, I know their writing can be...uneven on their best days, but last night's treatment of Wendell was so bad I was shouting at my TV. The girl was acting needy on the verge of stalkery and they blame Wendell's cancer (and fear of getting too close) for why he's holding her at arm's length? How about fear for the life of his bunny? I'm notorious for missing subtle hints, but even I felt she was being psycho, not concerned! Anyway, annoying, and crap writing.

And, and, and after making a big deal about how awesome the cat was and being concerned for what would happen to it, it seems like they forgot to fire it in Act III, if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor - unless they did do something with it but it was when I was still in my low-key rage blackout on Wendell's behalf?

Oh, thank you! I knew he was someone. Then I managed to remember who Mamie Gummer was and forgot to look him up.

Just you, I think.

I gave it up 2 seasons ago, but I occasionally read the recaps to see if there is anything interesting happening.

K. Todd Freeman! I've done a few shows with him.

Just you, I think.

This is certainly my interpretation of the available data.

Caught up on Castle. I can see two possible intents.

1) They make Castle permanently a private eye who ends working on a lot of the same cases as Beckett. Provides a new source of tension between Castle and Beckett, and between Castle and the team. The intent would be give new life to the show, though I can see many ways it could go horribly wrong

2) Castle is a PI for one to n episodes, during which he makes life so miserable for the powers that be that they let him back onto the team because he makes it clear that they are better off having on the inside pissing out than on the outside pissing in.

My bet is option 2, but I'm not good at reading showrunner and network exc minds.
