I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Just me, or was anyone else a little creeped out hearing Victor Kiriakis use the phrase "bros before hos"?

Just me then.

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

What show is that?

Okay, having now seen Cold Case, that was indeed creepy.

Normally that sort of women in combat before their time storyline chokes me up, but this left me strangely unaffected.

Watching Castle--not only are they the grammar police, but they got the Death tarot card right. All this and Firefly too?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

but they got the Death tarot card right.

I knew you'd appreciate that.

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

"Castle" is one of very few shows I'm consistently excited to watch. It's just plan fun, and last night was no exception.

Although, on the tarot card, I always feel the need to point out that while the Death card does indeed mean change, dying is about as big a change as you can get, so always best not to rule it out.

“Not dead yet!”

Favorite Castle exchange of the night [paraphrased]:

"I'm so accustomed to seeing you act like a twelve year-old, it's nice to see you as a concerned father."

"It makes you want me, right?"

"And there's the twelve year-old."

Mine too.

It's total fluff, but it's smart fluff.

And you got the impression that Castle really, really wanted to pound on the bad guy producer for a while. Throw a young woman in trouble into the mix, and watch Castle go Outraged Father. NF is lovely to watch when he's irate.

And damn, it was nice to see him in the brown coat again. I must have re-run that segment 8 times.

Whoops. Duh.

Normally that sort of women in combat before their time storyline chokes me up, but this left me strangely unaffected.

Ditto here. I wasn't sure if it was weak acting (I didn't believe any of them in the 40s, except maybe Edna) or the horrible hair, or what, but it didn't engage me. Music was fun, though. Although the B -plot with Daniel Baldwin was making me very tense. He plays a very believable arrogant, malicious d-bag.

So very much this.
