Castle was cute. I am chagrined to admit it took me a LONG time to catch on to what was actually happening with the apartment across the way shenanigans. Maybe I was tired? Something.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wait! When did Ryan and Espo do the pose?!?!? AGH! I've erased it. :(

Early in the ep, when they're leaving the apartment with Kate, Castle suggests he can call in and be like Charlie. Hulu? Streaming on network site?

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

It's gotta be on youtube by now.

edit: Here! It's at the end of this clip. [link]

That. Was. Epic.

Thank you, Aurelia!

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

Ryan and Esposito doing the Charlie's Angels pose made my day.

That was the best! I really liked the episode as a whole. Good times.

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

a) Criminal Minds--sadder than I thought I'd feel, even when the end game became obvious
b) CSI--why am I still watching this? I mean, it's not bad like it's been, but what's good about it?
c) Southland--wait, where did all that come from? The gay cop wants a kid, the Latino cop is a massive liar, Shaq is on the force, Regina's partner doesn't want to do the right thing, and OC cop is suddenly chilling on the dark side? That felt like a lot of motion for one episode.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"Hey, it's that guy" sighting: Lester Freamon just popped up in an old episode of Waking the Dead. (Multistorey, the first ep of Season 3. Good ep so far, lots of team dysfunction and cranky Boyd.) Interesting, Freamon (well, Clarke Peters) has done a lot of work in the UK, including playing an African dictator on The Professionals back in '83.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I guess I really don't need canon to be canon, because I like the way they brought in Mrs. Hudson in Elementary. (Also? Aidan Quinn? Still yummy.)

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

The actress who plays Ms. Hudson is gorgeous. I really liked how her trans-ness wasn't the primary focus of her story.

Sherlock throwing a tantrum in the snow plow about how they don't know what they're going to find and that's why it's an ADVENTURE! like a 6 year-old = way cuter than it had any right to be.

I continue to love the way this show does slow-building character work.
