Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Still loving Castle every week. How does it manage to walk the line of camp and touching? The weekly storylines seem mostly irrelevant in light of the ongoing relationships.
Is it just me, or is Stana Katic being costumed like she's preggers? I just caught up on the last two episode and she's wearing blousy tops and long open jackets rather than her previous tight fitting blouses and tailored jackets...holding file folders in front of her belly, sitting behind desks...all the classic tv tricks to hide a bump. I might just be overreacting to a change in fashion trends, but i can't help wondering...if the actress is preggers, they're gonna have to write it into the storyline eventually, yes? I don't know if the show can handle a tongue in cheek HIMYM "we're obviously pregnant but gonna pretend that we're not with clever camera angles and creative wardrobe choices" approach.

Dear procedural writers: Please be aware that only diplomats can have diplomatic immunity, not their families or their staffs. And not every diplomat gets it. Please to remember this when you are writing your swiss cheese plots.

Vortex, is this in response to Blue Bloods?

Apparently a lot of people got that idea after the premiere, but according to the show, she is not pregnant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Vortex, I had diplomatic immunity until I turned 18. My mother had diplomatic immunity as long as my father did.

Hotchner seems to do a lot of killing. lots of shooting, hand to hand combat, carries multiple weapons...and he's a former LAWYER? I get Morgan with his police background/trainng being all gung ho with the violence, but wherefore Hotch's killer streak? I just re-watched The Tribe and he disarms, what, 3 people by himself? Seems unlikely with just FBI training.

“Not dead yet!”
Hotch is a perfectionist, I think. I think beyond whatever FBI Academy training he might have received, he would have taken it upon himself to get extra training.
I also think there was an episode that referred to him having also been part of a SWAT detail, which would account for further training.
