I think he's a cutie pie, and I liked his turn in the Emma miniseries, plus what I saw of him on Dexter (didn't watch regularly). I thought he was the best thing about Hackers, and I thought he was pretty damned good against some stiff competition in Endgame.

Where does he fail you?

I like him too. I really liked Eli Stone. I wish it had stayed on the air.

Eli Stone. I thought the show was cute, but I thought he was the worst thing about the show. I'm not sure he was in Dexter enough for him to make a mark on me.

I really love JLM too. But I also really love SH, and I don't really see Jonny being successful filling that deerstalker.

anyone watch Castle?

yes. I am a little annoyed at the stupid. Side note, you generally cant open the back doors on a police car from the inside.

Normally there aren't even handles.

I didn't catch the police car thing, but I was disappointed in the show. Maybe the second part will improve? (hope springs eternal and all that)

Castle is a much better show when it deals with more-or-less ordinary policing, albeit with more colorful victims and prettier police officers. The show's strengths don't play well to save-the-world giant secret conspiracies.

The previous two-parters were just constructed better. With this one we don't know enough about the presumed danger or the villan to be invested in anything more than Castle and Beckett not drowning. Plus, Jennifer Beals seems to be playing to a 1,500 seat house instead of the camera. It's odd, she wasn't like that on Chicago Code.
