Watching the Dynamic Duo interviewing their own collection of quirky suspects would be fun.

What I enjoy most about Castle is it doesn't suffer--too much--from "if the non-regular character has lines, he must be the perp" syndrome. They have weird people and red herrings wander through, and everyone has to puzzle through it all. My biggest bitch with the CSI type shows is that they waste time with musical montages showing lab techniques that could be spent on, well, plot. Or character interaction--except that would all be soap opera stuff. The "It's Sex and the City with boys!" bit wouldn't appear on CSI. (And I was quite tickled that they said "boys", as opposed to "guys.")

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

The crying lab tech was hysterical! (er, pun not intended!)

Add my vote for the Ryan 'n' Esposito Show.

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

I love when they bring Garcia along on cases, and this week was no exception. Kirsten cried up a storm, and my platonic OTP was in full force.

My favourite CM episodes are the ones with a hidden unsub and good team interaction, so this was a win. Okay, second favourite. Most favourite is an artful torture of our team members.

But this was great.

I'm a little curious about how NCIS is going, since Gibbs did a very bad thing, and they've been hammering that home for episodes. When it was just lightly mentioned I thought it was okay for them to slip it under the vengeance exception, but now I have no idea how they're going to get out of it. And I don't truly trust the writing.

I am an unabashed MG shipper, and there was such good stuff. I even was inspired to make a new icon. [link]

No! You don't want them together together, do you? Heresy! Platonic OTP! I don't have many (where they're unrelated)--I think apart from Zoe and Mal, this is my biggie.

They make me want to hug my male BFF, hard.

eta: (that icon is HOT. Still, platonic Morgan-Garcia only)

Rumor has it that L&O: Original Recipe has been canceled.

“Not dead yet!”

They were truly amazing.

Also? The receptionist at my car dealer is a dead ringer for Penelope, Red Hair Version.

No! I need my Cutter/Rubirosa! Okay, maybe I was never going to get that, but I need my Cutter. And my Rubirosa. And my Lupo. Even Bernard. Dammit. It's so much better than SVU or CI.
