Don't forget when he went to get Prentiss in "In Birth and Death." When she asks, "And what could I have told her?" and he responds with, "You could have told her that one of my agents shot a suspect in cold blood. That another has a serious drug problem that I didn't report. Strauss gets verification of any of that and my career is over."
That was the only direct reference any of them made to his actually having a drug problem.
HOLY CRAP! REID'S MOTHER IS SUE SYLVESTER!
explains a lot, right?
Now that you mention it...
HOLY CRAP! REID'S MOTHER IS SUE SYLVESTER!
I've been waiting for this reaction...
Hee! I saw Revelations before I saw either of the Fisher King eps, so when I first saw Diana Reid, it was with the long hair. I spent most of the ep thinking, "I know her--where do I know her from???" until the final flashback where she has the Sue Sylvester short cut, and that's when the light bulb finally hit. I think it was just that I was sooo not expecting to see Jane Lynch in Criminal Minds that my mind had a complete shutdown in IDing her.
Oh, and my favorite oblique Reid-drug-problem reference was in the ep before Elephant's Memory, with the unsub targeting grieving parents who lost children in a fire. He met them in various support group meetings, and when Reid figures out that the letters everyone had assumed were suicide notes were actually "amends" letters (written in the meetings as an amends to the writers themselves), he explains them to Prentiss in a very soft, ashamed tone with his eyes averted. The next ep has him going to his first meeting, so you know, being Reid, he'd been researching the hell out of them for weeks.
TWOP has an "Ultimate Fall Viewing Guide," and their watch-it-live ep for Mondays at 10:00 is Castle, complete with an awesome full cast photo.
Watch: Castle
It's a great procedural mystery, it's got nerdy guests of the week and it features the power of Nathan Fillion. We'd be foolish not to support our favorite space cowboy in real-time.
DVR: Hawaii Five-0
A solid cop show with a decent cast who actually deliver on a remake instead of tarnishing fond memories. Even the "Book 'em, Danno" catchphrase comes across well. Definitely merits a space in the DVR.
Gawker did a fall TV guide in which they recommended Hawaii 5-O, because it had Scott Caan, Grace Park, and Daniel Dae Kim. Burn.
Nathan Fillion keeps a list on his iPhone of people he wants to guest on Castle.
He's such a dork.
He's adorkable.
