oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

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

way too miraculous for me to buy it

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

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.

Tomorrow is dual NCIS! Not sure what happens in LA other than the magnificence of Linda Hunt, but weirdness up north as it seems they both interview for her spot, but we Tony in the desert having the craph beaten out of him. Chasing Diva, despite being out of NCIS purview? Who knows?

But better than all that....Criminal Minds is in the house! The Reaper has Hotch and he's going to do things to him, Reid will be promptly injured so maybe he can convalesce with Hotch when he gets rescued all broken. I hope the Reaper gets to Morgan. And then Garcia flies out of he nerd hole and attacks him with her puffy pens. And saves the day.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

NCIS:LA is bad. That is my last warning.

I watched the crossover eps last season with NCIS and I couldn't get through them. I have a pretty high tolerance for crime, procedurals, and even I couldn't get through this.

I'll be watching NCIS, but LA - I'm out.

Always Anti-fascist!

I thought House was good, but I also liked that ER where Benton took Carter down South just for variety and fans pretty much hated that one, so... Good to see Andre again, too of course. Also, I was tempted to write House/Cupid while watching last night...I don't know that I really will, but I thought about it.
