Tiny, but ripped.

Serious. The actor playing his brother was the short one on Breakout Kings; next to Bell, downright tall-looking.

But those were definitely good shoulders to have.

Last night's Elementary killed me dead. DEAD, I tell you. That conversation at Bell's place where Sherlock asks Joan to stay on permanently made me so happy, I actually teared up a little. "I am better with you, Watson." His face! Her face! The uncertainty and the hope in his voice! Holy crap, Johnny Lee Miller is a good actor.

Mercy me. This was my exact reaction.

He's come a long way from one of my very favorite movie lines ever..."Never. Fuck. With an antiques dealer."

Hey, it's Slim Charles! (Just catching up on Elementary.)

Holy crap, Johnny Lee Miller is a good actor.

Me three. Also I'm glad the "suspense" as to whether she would terminate the relationship is over. Cause, since that would end the series, dwelling on the question was starting to get old. I'm glad he is paying her enough to get her own place. Even if she decides to mainly stay there, she will need a sanctuary to retreat to when Sherlock decides to be especially maddening.

I finally watched Elementary last night, and...yeah. What everyone said.

Although I think my favorite part was Watson's comment about foxy boxing, to which Sherlock replied, "You think you're 'foxy'?" I had to hit pause because I was laughing so much.

And the end! When she hits him in the face with the basketball and you see just the hint of a smile as he turns from the camera -- AWESOME.

Well I didn't expect that at the end of Castle!

Yeah, that was surprising.

Of course, I somehow managed to forget all the Alexis-is-kidnapped promos, too, so, uh, slightly more prone to surprise t.han most, perhaps. But still.

I think that driver might have gotten to met the real Rick Castle. (I was definitely getting some "War Stories" vibes from Nathan Fillion.)

I also somehow forgot all the promos! Castle-Alexis is the best TV daddy-daughter since Ketih-Veronica (wibble!).

Yeah, there was more Mal in that Castle than I usually see. But still distinct.

I will be interested to see the fallout for Beckett and Castle. This is one of those moments where a normal girlfriend would be trying to offer support, but that's completely impossible because A)She's working (although, my credulity is strained near breaking on that one), B) There is functionally nowhere they have any sort of privacy.

I am hoping that some time in part 2 we get a moment that pays off the idea that she doesn't really know him with any depth, since he is so good at putting on various fronts. We got a little of that with the speech about holding Alexis when she was born, I think, but the Castle The Interrogator was just a different front, even if it was a new one. And I think, if you're going to bring out the sledgehammer that is this plot-line, you need to be doing some serious heavy-lifting.

Also, if they kill Alexis, I will be pissed.
