You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I also liked that Jon Huertas was dressed as a marine, since he was a marine in real life and also played one on Generation Kill.

This may be the first Castle episode I rewatch, because there were so many moments in it I just enjoyed the hell out of. Also, Castle as Edgar Allan Poe - too funny.

I laughed a lot. and really found the mystery intersting. And the father/ daughter thing is getting better. he is being more of a dad. I liked it.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Interesting post about the portrayal of pain management and addiction on House

Good post. There's hasn't been enough criticism of the way the show handles all of that.

My only quibble with Castle was they went with the "traumatized kids" trope. But, otherwise, refreshingly non-judgmental. I'd be leery of, say, Bones tackling the same sub-culture.

Yeah, but it was nice how they integrated it, within the scope of the art, as opposed to strictly through the subculture. From that standpoint, I thought it was really well done.

For lightweight, mainstream-network show, they handled it very well. For instance, the victim's bisexuality was brought up and absolutely nothing was made of it.
