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

It's always hilarious when Castle and Ryan are on the same wavelength.

I find it hilarious that Castle is turning into The X-Files without actual aliens.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Semi-random thought about The Mentalist: If Jane turns out to be Lisbon's half-brother I shall be greatly put out. Twice now they have used unknowing half-siblings in love as plot devices in episodes that are part of the Red John arc.

I wouldn't mind if Red John turns out to be Jane's half-brother or even Lisbon's.

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

Oh, no. I hope they don't write a romantic subplot between Jane and Lisbon. I just don't see it.

Sadly I do see it. I see it often and I see it hard. But I have to say I would greatly prefer things between Jane and Lisbon to be written as ambiguously as they have been thus far, and have any conclusion left up to the viewers' imaginations than for any any of the several ways a romance between them could be done badly.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

the local WETA-UK station is showing a series of George Gently mysteries. They're quite good ... although they (1) are on opposite Castle and (2) run later than I should stay up.

English of course, set in the early 1960s; George Gently is a senior detective who's relocated to a coastal area in the north after the death of his wife. He's paired with John Bacchus, a young detective who's married the daughter of a ... chief constable? Anyway, there's a lot of interesting interaction between them and interesting mysteries.

It's "Inspector George Gently". I find it interesting to see all the period details (if "period" is appropriate from something fairly recent). The clothes and music are familiar to me from my childhood, along with a lot of the attitudes, allowing for differences between countries. "Two nations separated by a common tongue." (or whatever the quote is)
