this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Elementary: I really thought they were going to stay away from cannon characters other than Holmes and Watson, so I was surprised to hear them say the name Irene last week.

I actually got excited and clapped my hands when Watson said her name.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I actually got excited and clapped my hands when Watson said her name.

I'm not saying I'm disappointed, just surprised and maybe a bit skeptical. I wonder if this means we should expect Moriarty as well.

I thought it would rock if Alastair turned out to be Moriarty.

With the screwed up relationship Sherlock has with his father, I think Mycroft would have a lot of potential to be an interesting addition as well.

Castle has some really funny scenes. The one with the songwriter was hilarious.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, it was. The "cut to black - musical sting" business cracked me up every time.

I like Castle best when it is being funny. Not that I don't get why they need to mix in some seriousness. But I love that they sometimes approach classic screwball comedy.

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

They were letting Nathan be Nathan on that one. The Castle theme stinger made me laugh like a loon. All of the character interactions with the camera were hilarious.

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

I get the bromance in the face of manpain H50 was going for--it's the oxygen, the lifeblood of some audience reaction. But if I tell you to step the fuck back so someone I trust raises my child if I die please do it. Dying with me is not a touching gesture of confidence. We'll both be similarly still alive if you're half a block over that way.

I mean, I get the theory (and emotion) behind it, but this isn't just two comrades in arms. There's a kid here. Who's going to raise her? Steve's GF? MOM? Kono? Kelly? NO I ASKED YOU.

Sorry. I'm evidently irritated by many things today. Maybe more tisane is warranted.
