Xander ,'The Killer In Me'
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
That ep had me tearing up at the end with the happy ending and all.
And I loved how everyone had everyone else's back! And Esposito called Castle his other partner! And Beckett actually fights like a real trained cop would, and not like Buffy at the punching bag!!
Oh, and finally, confirmation that there is a pool going at the station over when Castle and Beckett are going to hook up.
A very bromantic episode of Castle, I must say.
In unrelated portions of the ep, Castle may regret teaching Alexis what poker face is.
Beckett needed to keep her chin down when she worked the bag.
That opening scene was hot.
DED from the cute.
This.
And Ryan is a COMPLETE WOOBIE.
I loved that I got to see Michael Ironsides, who may be longer in the tooth but is still sexay...and Scott Cohen on my screen at the same time.
Casting like that reminds me of when radio stations do 'deep cuts', where they go back and showcase the good stuff we may have overlooked.
I'm glad to see those guys working.
I'm watching the Bones pilot. When did Zach lose his personality? I don't remember this level of snarkiness in the few later eps I've seen.
Or am I being insensitive to RL issues?
The writing of the characters on Bones has been way inconsistent. Some actors can probably compensate and/or argue their way to a more consistent character. I suspect he was not in a place mentally to be able to do that. I don't know what Deschanel's excuse is.

Has anyone on this show done it? Neither Bones nor Booth (especially Bones) is particularly consistent. They were finding their footing, and I think they decided to go with more stereotyping for most of their geeks. Only Hodgins gets to be socially ept.
TJ Thyne and Tamara Taylor are the only ones on that show that I'd give much credit to.
I give them all a pass for the first season, but once they've played a character that long they really should take some ownership if there are things in the writing that they question.
