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

I hope they marry off Danny and the new dark haired chick before they end completely.

They got married off screen in what turned out to be the series finale.

As for The Closer, the season ended. It'll be back in a month or two.

I was assuming you meant Elena when you said new chick, right? She has been on the show four years.

Art Crawl!!!

The Closer is going to be back in the first week of June.

(Hee, I know she's been there forever but I think of Elena as the new chick too.)

Without a Trace: I'm sad that Sam and Jack broke up. I wonder if it would have ended differently if they had known it was going to be the series finale?

I just wanted to put in a note of how GREAT Garrett Dillahunt was in Criminal Minds. He played every phase of the unsub with great delicacy.

yes, he was wonderful. Sharif Atkins was also terrific. This is the second time I've seen him play the veteran with a murdered relative character and he's really good at it. Has he really lost a leg or was that just good CGI?

Played by C Thomas Howell, who they actually got back for that brief masked performance.

really? I would have thought that they would have filmed that scene with the earlier ep.

I don't know when it was filmed. I was just surprised it was him behind the mask when they could have just dubbed the audio in post.

Has he really lost a leg or was that just good CGI?

I'm pretty sure it was CGI. Kinda like my question about Jake McLaughlin. The first three times I noticed him he was only sitting down, and two of those times he was playing a paraplegic. Turns out he just looked the type--he's perfectly hale.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Random Criminal Minds thought about colorblind casting -- what do you think are the odds that when the writer created a character on the Detroit streets named Walter Patterson, that they were picturing a white guy?

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

I never managed to take CSI: Miami seriously

It's very pretty. They do wonderful things with light and color. I think I've only managed to watch a handful of episodes though.

Oh! There was a John Henry look alike on the bus the other morning and it creeped me right the fuck out.

Yikes! I remember being freaked when I saw a Twin Peaks Bob clone on my college campus.

Thanks to all of you guys talking so enthusiastically about Bones, I decided to finally watch some episodes during their Memorial Day marathon. I ended up watching all of the eps and am now thoroughly hooked! Darn you all to heck.

I'm now dvring the TNT daily reruns and actually recognized one of the eps from yesterday. It was the ep where Hodgins and Brennan are buried by the Gravedigger. I must have stumbled across it during its initial broadcast and recall that at the time, I was confused by the relationship between the two of them--most shows would have put the two leads in the car or at least an incipient couple, but having two co-workers there made it more interesting. Seeing the ep in its entirety and with some background on the characters made it even better.

The guy who plays Hodgins really knocked it out of the park, didn't he? Actually, all of the male characters were the standouts in this ep, even more so than Brennan with all of her screentime.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the older shows along with the reruns on Fox!
