And Esposito's nickname is apparently Honey Milk.
I so love Castle being a good dad, with typical dad angst but no tragic underpinnings. And he was sensible when Scarlet threw herself at him! He's a mostly grown-up who's comfortable wtih what goes on in his own head. Very refreshing.
And I notice his coat is often brown.
re: Bones--what was with all the people coming in getting things signed? It felt like a good Bones ep, with odd characters and not too painful interpersonal stuff.
Jessup, the felon locksmith wannabe, was terrifically written, and the actor who played him was hilarious.
I really like that actor. I hope that he becomes a recurring character, but not too often.
And Castle ending up in the back seat with Jessup when he annoyed Beckett.
I know! That was great.
re: Bones--what was with all the people coming in getting things signed?
I read somewhere (probably the Bones comm on LJ) that they were people from The Simpsons crew/writing staff and that it was part of The Simpsons Scavenger hunt. I had no idea while watching, so odd, and I expected they were going somewhere with it.
I really like that actor. I hope that he becomes a recurring character, but not too often.
I agree.
re: Bones
You mean last Thursday's?
Someone over at TWOP figured out the "Honey Milk?" reference that the vice cop made when meeting Ryan:
Nice bit of continuity: When Esposito introduces his friend from Vice to Ryan, and the guy says "Honey Milk?" It took me awhile to realize that was a callback to earlier in the season (second episode?) when Ryan revealed that he and his wife liked to have warm milk and honey before going to bed.
ETA: Poster later corrected it to girlfriend, not wife.
I really like that actor.
That's Leon on Curb Your Enthusiasm, right?
I had to copy over Dana's manpain flowchart link because it mention's G Cullen's ludicrous multiple foster family angst. The math on that totally doesn't even work. I can't believe NCIS:LA gets a shoutout in the same flowchart that Batman does. And I guess Chris does double duty.
The list of people that applies to is kind of scary. Gibbs comes right to mind. Anyone with a dead spouse and/or child. Patrick Jane. Jack O'Neill. Charlie Crews. House. Some of them are more charming than others, or better at masking their pain, but still. Trauma.
