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.

• Kevin Sorbo
• Sarah Paulson
• Lyndsy Fonseca
• James Marsters
• Bo Derek
• William Shat
• Kyle MacLachlan
• Michael Hitchcock
• James Denton
• Mircea Monroe
• Alexis Denisof
• Alan Tudyk
• Ron Glass
• [I have the whole cast of Firefly here]
• Dylan Baker
• Jaclyn Smith

He's adorkable.

Have Fillion and Ferguson ever been on screen together? It would be the ultimate adorkable-fest!

Just watched Reckoner and Haunted. Loved the interactions between Reid and Garcia when he wasn't cleared to fly yet.

But it bothers me that Hotch was stabbed a bunch of times on the same day that Reid was shot through the leg and seemed to recover waaaay faster without any apparent physical ramifications.

Well, unfortunately for Matthew Gray Gubler, he had to recover on a real-time schedule as opposed to the super-magic television schedules. Apparently the knee injury he suffered over the summer was fantastically terrible and from what I've read, if it's accurate, he's not even being allowed to run until this coming October.

Oh yikes! I didn't know that!
