The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yay!

Fantabulous!
Beckett was beyond hot last night at the book party. I think erotic would be a better word.
It seems that just about every show that I'm watching there's me waiting for the leads to get it on already. But I swear that watching Castle and Beckett's "breakup" that they were going to grab each other and mack. (Okay, on Lie to Me I was praying for a deep satisfying hug, because Cal and Gillian just aren't afraid to touch each other, which I find so incredibly refreshing). And then there's Bones and that whole new level of intimacy that they reached. Hmmm. Did all of these shows just finally sync up their menstrual cycles?

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

I don't think you saw the same episode I saw. All I can see when I watch is cat and mouse with the audience.
I think Castle plays it very well. They both like each other, but they aren't pining, but they did both get a bit panicky when they thought walking away was what was the sensible thing to do. Because it's a very nice excuse.

Does anyone else think NCIS: LA is aiming at a demographic of gay men? With the bromance, and the tight shirts, and the tight pants that Heddy even commented on, and Dom fiddling with his nipples--sorry, the buttons?

They keep scantily and tightly dressing Kenzie, so I think they're just peddling lust.
I am going to try this week again because there's supposed to be Abby. Hmmm.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Shhhh!!!! Have we forgotten the lessons of "Moonlighting"?!?! (Which is relevant, as it's definitely one of "Castle's" direct ancestors, along with "Remington Steele.") As soon as they get it on, it's over. Bad, bad things will happen.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
this is a pretty persuasive article about "moonlighting" and that leads having sex aren't a death knell.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I think that it's not necessarily that the leads having sex is a death knell, it's that when they decide that the leads should have sex, it's usually a last ditch effort to save the show because nothing else (including the sexual tension) is working. So, the show is probably ending anyway, and the sex is an attempt to save it.
