“Not dead yet!”

Oh, absolutely. I think it's a case of showcasing the two sides of the same coin adage and that it'll serve to remove some blinkers from Jane's eyes. I did find it kind of surprising how callous Bosco seemed to Jane's personal stake in the case but I put it down to the "Have to be harsh in order to get him to back off approach."

I think the guys are getting a little more proactive-- what's funny is they're using Jane techniques instead of more traditional ones.

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

I liked the boys dawdling outside the stepmother's apartment waiting for the son to come out of hiding. And I totally think they bet and that Rigsby won.

Watching L&O last night was quite excruciating. Normally it's not a bad thing to see hottie detective get all snuggly with a woman, but it was such a painfully wrong judgment call I had to avert my eyes from the screen. Still, I really like how Cutter played her in the end, and was appropriately squicked when she squirmed on the stand.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Nathan Fillion says there's a Firefly Easter egg on the Castle DVDs. I have not found it.

I was skimming the TWOP Castle thread and they make like he says there's one on the show itself, making it sound like this season.

I've now watched two episodes of NCIS: LA. A little heavy on the bromance, and I find I can't stand the psychologists they put in crime shows. "I shall now spend a few minutes stating the perfectly obvious."

I keep comparing it to the first few episodes of NCIS, where they were setting up the characters and setting, and they don't have the same feel at all. LA doesn't have the light touches that the first ep of NCIS had--essentially hijacking Air Force One, playing a shell game with the body, being the underdog agency against the FBI and Secret Service, etc.

I think I'm going to find something else to do with that second hour.

Huh. ita, on Twitter he said it was on the "Castle set". I assumed DVD set, because how can there be an Easter egg on the physical set? But maybe so. Either way, I'm unlikely to find it.

I agree, Connie. I don't find NCIS:LA even close to as interesting as the original. I kinda wanted to give it a shot for Chris O'Donnell, but it's just not got that same feel. It's taking itself just a little too seriously, I think.

Yes,

Still, I really like how Cutter played her in the end, and was appropriately squicked when she squirmed on the stand.

And yes! I didn't really see why Lupo was so drawn to her.

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

I didn't either. She came off seeming half-crazy from jump.

I think Lupo is damaged goods in search of even more damaged goods--I'm pretty sure he had a thing for his widowed sister-in-law.
