Is that actor having medical isues?

He's bipolar. It probably is a side-effect of his meds.

I was underwhelmed by that episode. Nearly everyone was a caricature in the flashbacks which I guess could be chalked up to unreliable narrators, but it grated on me.

So, House. Hugh Laurie directed. David Strathairn makes a good guest star. Some amusing comedy bits, but all in all, not a stellar ep, writing-wise. The directing was perfectly serviceable. I guess I'm not done with this show, but it's really not doing much for me except in isolated bits (which, in retrospect, is what it's always been doing, but sometimes there are more bits than others and this kept to many characters apart I like to see interacting).

And now for Castle!!!!

Something I CAN get psyched about.

House: I actually thought the pairings of who was stuck with who was interesting because it was unexpected. Though, there wasn't enough Hugh Laurie for me, and I was expecting a bigger reveal from House.

Love Beckett calling Castle on his "just got laid" voice.

Okay, Castle playing Nikki Heat games in bed is a tad creepy.

OMG, it's DAN CORTESE!!! I knew he looked a little familiar when he first showed up.

Remember to tip your coroner.

I liked how Castle wasn't angry at what's-her-name, once he got over his embarrassment. It's like he and she both understand that it is a game that gets played, and they both play willingly. And when Alexis showed up, actress was shuffled out the door.

Poor Beckett, though, showed her jealous hand, and Castle is on to her.

I wonder if the actress will show up more, or if the movie will ever get mentioned again. It would be fun to watch more of the process from book to movie--plus premieres, etc.!

The precinct and Castle's family watching the talk show was funny.

Next week's promo for Castle looks good, and, hey, it's another BSG vet on network tv! Michael Trucco looks good in a suit.
