It's an interesting effect, but I think I will have to watch on hulu to follow the story.
Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I had a repeat of Vampire Diaries record on the dvr with only the soundtrack. As a repeat ep, it was cool. But sort of impossible to follow otherwise.
I thought it was just a wacky stylistic choice for the first 2 minutes or so. I'm keeping the wonky recording to watch after I hear all the dialog.
I hadn't noticed the soundtrack of Castle particularly before, and now I know I like it, fwtw
I was texting Jilli at first when the Vampire Diaries ep was on because, since I'd seen it once and knew the story, I was wondering if it was a new ep and this was just a totally ~~moody~~ way to open. It was really cool, actually. But it would have sucked on a first run ep and likely with anything that didn't have vampires, emoting fog and rampant iliac crests.
Well, it was mysterious for the opening of Castle, so that worked, too. For a little while, anyway.
Great Castle episode, but the ending felt a bit rushed. I couldn't quite follow how the other guy had planned and executed it all, at that pace. Good story though.
Tonight's Criminal Minds: Very good!
Great regular cast continuity--Reid has another geekout dissertation, this time on Halloween (follow up on his previous love of the day as demonstrated back in S3's "About Face"), which is hilarious. Jack Hotchner still thinks his dad is a superhero (big awww moment at the end). Hotch still knows how to smile!
Terrific guest cast--wonderful to see Ernie Hudson again, and Leonard Roberts really did a great job under that heavy makeup/mask. And they finally got Michael Warren into a Charles Haid directed episode; Bobby and Renko together again!!! (As Elizabeth Bear points out on her site, CM lives in the same life's-not-fair world that Hill Street Blues existed in, so I loved this casting.)

Jack is the only thing that makes Hotch smile.
Tonight's CM seemed like the casting director said "let's find every black actor who ever played a police lieutenant!"
Watched H50 late this week, but the Danno quote of the week - "Not scared, just rationally concerned"
Does CM pop up on Hulu? My sat is out with all the crazy ass wind tonight.
I don't think CM pops up anywhere.
