Yell an insult to his parentage and make him turn around, THEN shoot him.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

You could always go the Kellerman route and shoot him AS he gets Miranda.
Seriously...it was like "You have the right to remain silent.Bam!"
I've seen it a few times and still laugh nervously.
But I like the backstory on that one better than chocolate.David Simon wrote this whole arc on H:LOTS about Luther Mahoney, the Moriarty of the West Balmer drug trade, right? And he goes in for a meeting with the suits and the suits are all like "David, sweetie, baby, cookie, honey. Love your stuff, but our guys are totes gonna catch the big bad drug dealer. Right?"
And Simon being Simon was probably like "Why? Because the police never caught This Guy, and they had to let This Other Guy go...people do get by with this shit sometimes."
So they say "Well, he has to die, then. We can't let people watching our sponsors think that people don't pay for drug dealing." So, Simon, still rolling his eyes forever, set out to write the most ambiguous officer-involved in the history of TV. Because he was damned if he'd give us the easy satisfaction. I still ponder the level of fuck-you that takes, even though it's a landmark in procedural TV.

Nathan just tweeted: Castle got a third season pickup.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Woohoo! I was just reading somewhere they were supposed to be on the bubble, but fie on that.

Yay!
edit: Castle is very hot when he's being forceful, ie, telling Beckett she's staying at his place. I could do with more seeing tough Castle--but him squeaking when he's surprised is also wonderful.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
When Beckett or someone that he cares about is in danger, he gets very forceful. He wouldn't have fired that gun for anyone else that wasn't family.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Don't you get in trouble for that?
Yes, you have to be in imminent danger of your life. His back to you, NSM.
The serial killer is standing next to the tied up kidnapped FBI agent, you reasonably believe he has a detonator that will blow up another 19 FBI agents, and he has his back to you. Even if you'd get in trouble you'd take the shot.
And, if tv movies with snipers and hostage situations have taught me anything, you're probably allowed to do it.
I think you also get in trouble for shooting into a populated subway car.
Like that would stop the NYPD...
She's got a serial killer three inches from her with the rubber valve sealing the doors seperating her from him.
Even if she somehow didn't fire (which I doubt) she'd have the train stopped in the tunnel or somesuch. The "throw up my hands and scowl" was silly.
I love the show, but manufactured suspense is tedious.
