I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Especially since it would have to be a "Oh, BTW, not dead, old chap." thing. Though I do like Mary too much to lose her.

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.

Oh no, Mrs. Watson just needs to learn to share, is all.

All is well that ends in pizza.

The reason he doesn't eat on cases is because having to poop would take time away from investigating and chasing criminals. What a drag to have to find a loo in the midst of pursuit.

I wonder how soldiers handle this during extended battles?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I wonder how soldiers handle this during extended battles?

Speaking only for myself, I'm pretty sure the situation would resolve itself within the first minute or so of combat.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Speaking for myself, I know that high stress situations can lead to constipation. In basic training, at least in the beginning, all of us gals had our bodies go haywire: no periods, no pooping, for what seemed like weeks/months (not respectively).

Rewatching the BBC Sherlock, and I really really adore their Mary. I love her and her relationship with john to bits.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Also, I've been told (though it may be a myth - no military expert) that combat rations are specifically designed to be constipating.

Oh and probably unrelated: Does anyone but me think Castle is dropping anvil-heavy hints that Beckett is going to end up running for Senate the way the probably-real time traveler predicted? Not so much in the last ep (though the stage fright gives her a personal issue to overcome). But previous two - both"once you reached a peak, find a new mountain to climb" and the other one (this is a paraphrase cause I can't remember the actual wording) "ain't it a shame so many politicians are complete dicks?"

I would add that if that happens "Beckett for Senate" may be the least interesting plot twist the series has ever come up with; and there is some heavy competition for that title.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

They're teasing Beckett becoming political, being promoted to captain, and having babies. Who knows?

Most shows with a character's name in the title are about that character. I pretty much stopped watching when the show became "The Woman the Crime Novelist Writes About, And I Guess We Should Give Him Some Plot Lines too."

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't get it because that actress makes Elizabeth Rohm and Michelle Michele(Both of whom I thought were The Worst Actresses To Keep Getting Jobs) look like Meryl Streep.
