ION (I'll watch the trainwreck I heard was the House premiere at my leisure - maybe), fun to have Nathan Fillion as Castle on my screen again.
Hil's reaction makes me glad I watched the Heroes premiere instead, since it wasn't totally awful.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

3/4 of the way thru House - what the hell? It feels really odd.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think my tolerance level for House is just super-high. Nothing bothers me as long as I can have Hugh Laurie.

Usually I can take anything. But I got bored. and it felt unreal. and mary sue.
and I believe in handwavium. It is my religion -- or as close as I can get.
even if the cello playing at the end had been slightly less than perfect I might have bought it

I liked it fine. It did seem like it was going to turn out to be a hallucination at several points, but on the whole I enjoyed it.
And in the process, he fixed just about everyone.
Not fixed. People got one step closer to okay and he didn't get in the way of that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Because I'm spoiled for later developments of CSI: Miami I decided to try watching it in real time. My god, it was mind-bogglingly bad. I'm going to go and watch the second half of Castle and hope to wash the soapy taste out of my mouth.
There's not a decent actor in the bunch, and the writers aren't helping them any. I wonder if they know they're trapped on a ship of crap, and are just collecting paycheques. Or maybe they think they're turning out quality...
This episode had places where acting was required, and no one stepped up. It was sad.

Castle helped. the show is very silly, but Castle is Castle

Yes-Castle was a refreshing sorbet that washed away the faux Miami stickiness. I just have to keep watching CSI MIAMI until the thing happens, and then it's back to repeats for me.
