I liked that they addressed the need for changing that damned wall color on NCIS. When I saw the place blow up, the first thing I said, "Oh, maybe they'll redecorate!"

edit: And they went back to Abby's brother! And a callback to the nightmares that plagued her back in Season 1. One of the things I like best about NCIS is that they remember their own history.

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

I think a couple of them remember too much, and could stand to evolve a bit over the seventeen years of the series.

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

I haven't watched any Bones this season. Is there any reason why I should? I'm thinking I could stand to lose a show or two from my queue.

Amy Acker has been scary fun on Persons of Interest.

I am super rolling my eyes at H50.

I was just telling Dana earlier today that I can't watch H50 with my full attention because then I start noticing that they aren't jumping the shark, no, they're parasailing that fucking shark.

I'm acquiring the theory that the people behind this American Sherlock Holmes have never actually read Sherlock Holmes.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Ginger, I just posted on FB that I'm finding it oddly compelling -- as long as I ignore the fact that it's supposed to be about Sherlock Holmes. As a generic procedural, I'm actually enjoying it. Which could just be the Aidan Quinn factor. He's aged verrrry nicely.

I'm enjoying the touches of Holmes canon and that they aren't reproducing the traditional cases.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm also enjoying Elementary -- it's much more House than Conan Doyle, but I like it!

Although every time she says "companion," I can't help but think of Inara.
