Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I was really worried when they introduced those two at the beginning of the series that they were going to go with the cliche of the incompetent rival team. So glad they are competent and any rivalry is good-natured.

That was a pleasant surprise. It shows the quality of the writing, that they do not have to rely on sad, worn-out, old tropes. It also makes one hopeful that they might be able to pull off Resolved Sexual Tension without having either the chemistry of the show fizzle or falling back on unnecessary breakups.

You're talking about Ryan and Esposito, of course. :-)

I thought they were well and truly married before the show started.

I'm almost dreading Ryan's wedding--which I guess is why they got Esposito and Laney together, so he'd have someone to love after Ryan gets hitched.

I have to admit that my favorite part of this week's Castle was Alexis asking her dad what came next, "a chip in my head?" I laughed a lot.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Did anyone else watch Body of Evidence last night? I liked it, nice to see a nod to the long hard hours of work. Plus Dana Delaney continues to be very easy on the eyes.

“Not dead yet!”

I watched it, erin-- I really liked it. Dana's still awesome and the guy playing Peter is a great foil for her.

Also nice to see Jeri Ryan again.
