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.

Oh, you just made me miss Life. Sad now.

Kinda makes you think about what you need to do to seed a procedural. But I like to think that some shows do it better than others. Gibbs is a total cheat, because Mark Harmon didn't even know he had manpain until the second season or so. I guess he thought he was just an ass.

I would kill to see his single solitary man tear, though. I bet he can't do it as prettily as Sam or Dean.

And Cullen is an inverted cheat, because I think they just set up the manpain day 1 and every week they just tell us another reason why. It's such overt fangirl manipulation.

But if he cries in front of LL Cool J, I will forgive them almost anything.

Angel doesn't get his own square, but he does get an explicit mention!

Tim Bayliss gets like all the above, poor baby.(except foster care) Also, his website got censored. But, you know, that makes me appreciate Secor(and I don't mean porn this time) He did some weird things on that show, and it felt pretty real throughout. Namaste, motherfucker.
