Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Well, I posted this in the wrong thread, and now it seems kind of silly, but, whatever.

I thought Castle was kind of adorable (murder notwithstanding). The look on Esposito's face when he accepted the dinner invitation at the end was just lovely. Possibly made me tear up a bit.

And for whatever reason, "...those feakin' tiny sandwiches..." cracked me up.

Oh, wow!

I believe my expectations just set themselves unreasonably high.

Hivemind question: So, hypothetically, if I was behind on two shows by about the whole season, which would be the better one to drop to free up DVR space (because I probably won't be able to actually catch on either before it's issue) - H50 or Elementary?

I saw the premieres of both and enjoyed them, but with everything going on this fall, I've fallen wicked behind on almost all my TV watching. Hell, I'll be four episodes behind on Fringe if I don't get to one before tonight's, and NO WAY in hell am I dropping that for any reason.

I would drop Elementary before H50, but neither has a strong seasonal arc if you wanted to just start watching in 2013 and skip the fall half-season IMO.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I can't say much re. H50 since I haven't watched it after the first season, but I really like Elementary. The cases are generally pedestrian, but the writers are doing some lovely character work when it comes to building the relationship between Holmes and Watson.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I can't be objective about Elementary because of the crush I have on Lucy Liu. I mean, I even watched and enjoyed Ecks vs Sever.

Frank,

I don't watch H5O, but I enjoy Elementary. It reminds me of Person of Interest in that it doesn't really tax the viewer and can be enjoyed for character interactions. They are different shows, so if Elementary is more your thing, go forth.

I can't be objective about Elementary because of the crush I have on Lucy Liu Jonny Lee Miller.

But I think I talk back at the people in the glowy box for saying/doing dumb/illogical stuff way less for Elementary than H50.

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

Choosing between Hawaii Five-O and Elementary is difficult for me because I find them both sort of skipable but enjoyable enough to watch. I think H50 has had more of an arc this season, so if you wanted to skip a bunch of episodes of one of them, I would probably say Elementary.
