I'm so glad my friend made me catch up with the whole of Castle in about two weeks. It's fast become the most fun show I watch.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

TV worlds are colliding. Numb3rs has a serial killer. They are definitely a poor man's BAU.
Oh, look Clea Duvall!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dad came up for the afternoon, and I decided to see if I could hook him on NCIS. It's definitely his type of story (he's a big Clancy fan, so the military aspect is right up his alley), but he doesn't watch network scripted tv hardly at all, just Discovery, History, and PBS.
Luckily, earlier this week I had dvr'd "Call to Silence," the S2 ep with Charles Durning as the Medal of Honor winner who was convinced he had murdered his best buddy during the battle of Iwo Jima. I first saw the ep around Christmas and was so moved by it, and thought it would be the perfect hook for Dad. Sure enough, by the end of the hour when Durning is reliving the battle, Dad was taking off his glasses to wipe his eyes.
I then showed him the S2 opener with Brian Keith as the Navy captain whose wife and blind daughter were kidnapped for $2 million in Navy funds. It's a more typical NCIS ep, so I thought I'd show it to Dad to see if he liked it.
He's going to start dvr'ing the show now.

"Call to Silence" is probably the best NCIS ep.

Rewatching Castle, and what I love most about Beckett handing Castle her purse is he doesn't comment on it.

The way they cut the trailer, it made it seem like he said the "abuse of power" line after she handed it to him. It's much nicer this way round.

Now I need to take the time to watch those clips.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going to have re-watch that show.

Always Anti-fascist!
ML is gonna be on Treme?! Like it wasn't already on track to be my most anticipated show, ever. I hate "Subway" though, and I don't care who knows it. It's lame, it's a big ol' gimmick and I can't be the only one who can't watch till the end without wishing something would crush D'Onofrio's Emoting larynx.I don't know...by the last few seasons "Frank Pembleton has a Crisis of Faith," was more of a TV Guide summary than something we actually feel(Or at least for me, it was...maybe it would be different if I was in a faith that inspired some kind of passionate devotion...John List aside, nobody ever lost their shit about being Lutheran.) And I never really came to feel anything forD'Onofrio's vic, either. I'd absolutely rate "Kaddish" over Subway any day of the week.In some circles, that is like saying you didn't cry at Titanic, but... Really,unless you're really into Bayliss though, it's not really true that it's all equally good.
