Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If you've got your Tivo set up to record Bones or anything else on Fox tonight, the season pass won't work -- Tivo thinks there's another baseball game.

Trust my rage

Is there new Bones tonight?

Not sure if it's new.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The tone of the post was presumptous and proprietary.

Yeah, it isn't his responsibility to hire town criers or anything to make sure the message gets everywhere. His not having paraded beards around town or played the pronoun game in interviews is plenty in my book. (And incidentally, the latter is a test that John "Mr. Overshare" Barrowman failed back in the Central Park West days.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It's new.

Not only that, but it's the "chicken" episode.

Hee! Intern Wendell. He and Mr. Nigel-Murray compete for my affection as my favorite.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Yes, I couldn't remember his name. One of the minuses of the rotating assistants.

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

I need to keep up with this thread, so I can post about things as they happen, and thus I need to start watching tv shows as they air. I don't know how I'll go back to the days when I couldn't skip the commericals.

In short: I'm loving Castle, for all the reasons already mentioned (Tarot, grammar, Firefly, Fillion, funny, good-dad-being). I'm enjoying White Collar (though I liked the 2nd episode much less than the 1st) and am not surprised to find Bomer is gay. The slashy spark was right there; I wasn't even making it up this time. According to my DVR, the 2nd episode shown was actually number 3, and that worries me a little, but we'll see. My interest in NCIS has waned, sadly. The characters and their dynamic have not matured and I'm bored with them. I'm still enjoying Lie To Me but it's not appointment tv. Fringe has lost me and I'm saving FlashForward to watch in a binge when the season is over, because I think taking that show in bits will drive me nuts.

Inexplicably, I'm suddenly in love in Criminal Minds and have bought the whole series and mainlined it. (Actually, it might not be inexplicable. I think it may be explicated by saying "Thomas Gibson" a few times in a sultry voice.) None of their plots creep me out or even seem terribly over-the-top. I thought the pregnant-woman-baby-farm episode was one of their less-exciting episodes. I may be insane. The eyes one was squicky, though, because, EYES. The taxidermied animal with human eyes was extra-wrong. I feared this new role-reversal between Hotch and Morgan was going to be uncomfortable, but so far (one episode in) it's all good - they're handling it like mature adults, Hotch might be glad to have a breather from the weight of the world, and Morgan might be finding out that being in charge isn't as much fun as he thought it would be. Hotch isn't missing a chance to give Morgan some backtalk, either. "You know you should've waited for back-up!" "Would YOU have?" ... "What?" Ha! I hope they catch Foyet this season, though. This arc needs a decisive end.
