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

There was quite the guest spot for Diedrich Bader on the latest Medium.

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

So word was out that Forest Whitaker was cast for the lead in the Criminal Minds spinoff. And then word that Rob Lowe was cast in it. From the show description, there's not room for two at the top. Or near the top--there's one senior former agent and three clearly junior positions.

Just read that Michael Kelly and Matt Ryan have also been cast, which just leaves the woman.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is Rob Lowe's strategy just to leave shows until he finds one where he's the unchallenged star?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm going with yes.

They've passed up two prime opportunities to write Lowe off of Brothers and Sisters. I can't imagine how they could gracefully do so now.

I think I had a dream where Gina Torres got the female role in the CM spinoff. ::sigh::

Hart Hanson talks about Bones choices.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

They've passed up two prime opportunities to write Lowe off of Brothers and Sisters. I can't imagine how they could gracefully do so now.

The character did have a heart attack in his 40s, so it wouldn't strain credibility for the Big One to come along and finish him off a couple years later. But the producers would have to come to terms with the idea of him not guest starring at a later date. And they'd realistically need to have months of the family mourning him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, watching House is stressing me out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I liked seeing things through Cuddy's eyes. I didn't understand what "call off your dogs" meant, though.
