I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

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

That was totally not the death I was expecting from L&O:CI. I was expecting Goren to buy it.

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

I enjoyed Dana Delaney as a guest star, but she really cut into our Ryan and Esposito time.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

trudy: firing a weapon into a crowd of civilians is a huge no no. Even worse into a subway car. Pretty much guaranteed collateral damage and huuuuuge lawsuits. In the warehouse with no bystanders to witness? That would be tougher to pass up. I was, however, making flaily hands that she went into foot pursuit with even NOTIFYING cover units much less calling for backup. Plus, as soon as she ran into the subway she would have been on the phone with transit telling them to stop the bloody train. they do that kind of thing for police :)

So glad for season 3!!!!! Bouncey

Given the guy's MO, I suspect he'd just start taking out random passersby if he was in a no-win situation. There's less collateral damage if he gets away. At least that's what I told myself.

“Not dead yet!”

Seriously, I don't watch Castle for the procedural parts (even though that's why it's in this thread), I watch if for the relationships between all the characters. This show is just FUN.

Always Anti-fascist!

It's a good thing...the procedural...what's the writer term? blows.Sometimes it interferes with my enjoyment...fuckin' Simon, man. Ruins everything with his*accuracy* blah blah, facts, blah blah, manufacturing crisis, blah blah unchecked capitalism...what an asshole. Maybe even fake-married people sound alike after a while.
