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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.
It seems that just about every show that I'm watching there's me waiting for the leads to get it on already.
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.

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.

I hope Booth and Bones don't get together because that relationship would be a train wreck. They don't connect on some fundamental levels, most importantly religion. One of them would have to change in a major way to keep religion from being a nasty divider. Some people think fights and drama make a relationship exciting, but it makes things in the real world nasty, and the whole lab would take up sides, and it would turn into even more of a soap opera than it is.

Vortex nails it. It's pretty much the same as Poochie & Cousin Oliver.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Loved the hug and kiss at the end of Lie to Me. It's what I would do with a friend, but the way the actors worked it so the hug was more romantic than the kiss was perfection.
