We've only had two new episodes since what, November? Why the repeat already?
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita,
ha! I was mostly talking about some of the jokes about sex and sex partners, etc. You know how those are categorized as "adult themes" when TBS cuts them out of movies. SVU is supposed to be at 10 and I think it is moving back there when the Leno fiasco is finally off the air.
I don't know what to tell you about "Criminal Minds" - that's a 10 pm show if I ever saw one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I read an interview with Mariska Hargitay saying that they're going to take full advantage of the return to 10, so I guess they've been holding back.
Criminal Minds is definitely the show most likely to give me nightmares. I don't distinguish much between 9 and 10, but I'd imagine if I had kids with bedtimes I'd rather see CM at 10 and Castle at 9. I waffle about The Mentalist.

Looking at the listing for next week, I'd say ABC is reserving the earlier time slot for reality shows.

After the precinct shooting episode, I would definitely classify "The Mentalist" at 10pm.

I waffle on it precisely because of Red John. When he's not on, it's 9 o'clock fare--it's sarcastic and pretty easy for the casual viewer to not realise Jane's a psychopath. But Red John is some messed up shit.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
no shit, right? Yeah, the ep with speed dating was harmless enough. So I see your point. But I figure the most violent ep should be what dictates the time slot.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The show itself is kinda psychopathic - it goes skipping along with you hand in hand, you're having a happy fun time, and suddenly it turns to you and gives an evil smile and there's HORRIBLE CRAZY DEATH.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. Why is it that sounds appealing to me? Do I need to go back to it? I dunno if I can handle the Red John stuff.
Castle is very rewatchable. I rewatched Double Down, or whatever that one was where they`re betting on the cases. Which reminded me of the question why Beckett doesn`t have a partner other than Castle. She should, right?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
It sounds awesome the way Zenkitty phrases it, but I find it to be gratingly dissonant in actuality on most ocassions. Although I did quit watching and eventually came back to it.
