All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did Castle feel more... forced, or heavy handed than usual? Next week looks interesting though. Looks like the return of 3XK.

“Not dead yet!”

My thought, upon reaching the final scene of Castle, was "One of the writers came up with that final exchange and they desperately wanted to use it, so they built up an entire episode full of improbabilities, so they could incorporate those few lines of dialogue."

IOW: yes.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I started watching Castle, but about halfway through I realized I wasn't following, so I went to bed.

I'm sure at least some of you remember the old Remington Steele show. One episode I remember with fondness was an hour-long setup for one line. It was this long, convoluted story about a body that kept turning up and then disappearing. Towards the end, they realized it was the head of the local vineyard, the Abby of St. Costello. Which lead to the line, "You mean he was the Abbot of Costello?"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In the last Australian government, there were two ministers with the names Tony Abbott and Peter Costello. They were once the joint plaintiffs in a defamation case, heard by my father.

Which leads to the inevitable question - who was on first?

Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third.

Speaking of RL lawyers, yesterday I was doing one of my new daily tasks which is getting attorney names for select cases of interest to some of our editors, and one was for a case in Las Vegas, and the lawyer's last name was Gubler. Isn't MGG's dad a lawyer?

Last night's CM was pretty good. I don't think they've done an unsub being triggered by a physical trauma/brian injury before, have they? And the actor was really good.

Someone on the writing staff is a Doctor Who fan--last night's ep was the second time they've had a DW reference, and this one cracked me up as much as the last one did. Reid's geeking out over the excellence of the DW convention, and the sheriff's reaction to him, was hilarious.
