I love Boomtown! But I found it after the fact. But my thought always is, when I see a "Southland" promo, to pull a David Spade and be all "I liked it the first time...when it was called "Boomtown"

I am you on these counts.

I bought the series after it was canceled and, while I like Southland fine, it just doesn't have the same...ya know.

Each one of the characters really grabbed my attention. Hm. Perhaps it's time for a re-watch.

Lock and Load!

I loved Boomtown too - liked Neal McDonough in that and in Band of Brothers.

The Not Colin talk is reminding me of the mannequin in Eureka. "Henry,why does it look like me?" "It's generic!"

I've always been so disappointed that everytime I get excited about Neal McDonough appearing in something, he's a creepy bad guy. Because, yes!, I first knew him in Boomtown (where I really enjoyed the initial pov format), so seeing him as Buck was made of so much win, until it was made of heartbreak. And yes, on Southland, I only care about Michael Cudlitz and the newbie's characters, even though I like the rest of the cast.

Castle - YAY!

No! Beckett did the drug tasting thing!

Castle: That was so cool!

Beckett: You liked that?

Castle: That was very Miami Vice.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Damn, just watching everyone know where that conversation was heading was hard. And in spite of having scene the tail end of that scene in the promos.

Oh shit! I remember that NOW from the previews last week, but I'd totally spaced on it.

Also, love seeing Robert Picardo, though I suspect that may have been his only scene.

I love this show. It's like the hot chocolate of procedurals.
