Watching NCIS right now, and...I am not into this show anymore, I guess. It's just striking me as wanky and self-indulgent, when I can see what it's actually going for. My heart's just not where they're aiming.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Askye, the dead guy knew where to find it because the old couple told him where to find it.

Thrive to spite them
Oh, okay, I thought that they just told him about the secret safe.
I still don't buy that big time mob guy wouldn't have had the diamonds checked out by someone to make sure they were real.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
He very well may have.

I think it may be something like The Maltese Falcon. The falcon turned out to be a fake, but the treasure hunters decided it was a decoy and set off to look for the real one.

What was Castle/Joe's accent supposed to be? A variant on Bronx or something?
I used to listen to the old detective radio shows on CD, and he sounded a lot like those radio detectives, to me.

I'm forgiving them. I do believe it was their 200th episode and that always calls for schmaltz. At least they didn't pull in a TV production company to make a movie about them.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Actually, I liked this Castle more than I expected to. Too often, when a show does this kind of thing it comes off as overly wanky and self-indulgent but this time I was willing to go along with it. And I loved Ryan's "boyo" - past and present versions.

That wasn't schmaltz, that was gold! I don't expect to ever see a better #200 than that, even if SPN ever made it that far.
I just dislike all the characters more than I did last week. An even more extreme effect than last week's Grey's had on me.

Unrelatedly, Castle/Beckett is doing really pretty badly against Quinn/Rachel in the E! Online couples poll, if you want to help out this very meaningful gauge: [link]
