Last night's Castle made me think of what happened when David Simon asked the murder police about the time that he followed them around. It wasn't like Castle. The squad voted on it...the nos won, like 12-2.(The chief wanted it, so it happened--that is like Castle.) And even years later, Simon went to one of his BPD BFF's and said "What do you mean, you didn't want me there? Tilghman was all for it?" The cop said "The Chief had a brain tumor...he wasn't in his right mind." Ah, cop love... but maybe DS wasn't as natty as NF."What the fuck is he *wearing*?" is kind of a staple question in profiles of my fake spouse and I have to say I say it when I see him on my TV machine. I think he keeps things till they, like, used to be a shirt, then gets into hand-to-hand fights on the way to Charlie Rose, or whatever. It's sad because I think he is a genius. But he seems to conflate "keepin' it real" with "looking like shit."

Magical DNA and fingerprint results are a staple of practically all the crime shows. Television PDs were getting instant computer matches of fingerprints back before the current computer system went into effect, when the FBI fingerprint analysis backlog was months.
I just looked at that dude's blog and I kinda really want to go to a Writers Police Academy.
Wait, was Castle new last night? I got Lie to Me, but Castle wasn't listed in my DVR for a new episode this week (next week's is).
Did my DVR...Lie to Me?

You'll have to analyze its micro-expressions to find out for sure.
They do less than last season. I liked it.
I like it, too. It's what makes the show different. I don't care that much about any of the characters; I almost dropped it this season, but my DVR kept recording it, so...
No, they showed the season opener again.
Paul Ekman's Lie To Me blog. Not sure why it's unformatted. I only read it through RSS.

That's something I like about Criminal Minds; they don't get instant results on DNA and fingerprints found on the scene. They're always like, "The results will take days! We don't have that kind of time!" But they make up for it with Garcia and her Magic Computer that can pluck information directly from the fabric of the space-time continuum itself.
Ed Bernero has said he's proud that CM solves crimes without forensics. But I can think of Machismo off the top of my head where they sent the glasses back from Mexico and found out the gender of the person who'd drunk from them.
The Castle blog is useful, but complaining about the ME doing forensic work is like complaining about the doctors doing tests on House. You can't hire another half-dozen day players and waste all that good exposition time.
