That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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

I was trying to work out if it's all about her mother now, but I realise I can't judge that, because I don't know what trips the switch for that.

I did kind of like that last week's wacky relationship misunderstanding wasn't a misunderstanding (and therefore not wacky), but then turned out to be irritated that Castle was right and Beckett so passive.

And, Jesus, the way they described unwanted touching this week made their foreplay sound like harassment. Way to take the bloom off the rose, guys!

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

Watching the Castle clip ep now. Kate's ability to ingest food seems to be in inverse proportion to the length of her hair.

They didn't air Castle's clip show here. I guess they felt it was still too soon to air an episode about a bomb in Massachusetts, but it was available On Demand, so we were still able to see it. As clip shows go, it wasn't that bad, but those shows always make me think of The Golden Girls and their cheesecake episodes.

I want to see that Andromeda clip show, ever since ita first mentioned it (possibly when it aired? Possibly) but I don't think I want to watch the rest of Andromeda - I saw the first couple of episodes but the way it was syndicated made it hard to catch, and then I think I heard my favorite character died.

Who was your favourite, -t?

Unfortunately the episode lacks impact without the context shifting, so if you only know the premise is inverted there's not as much there there. But that's pretty much where you should stop watching--it goes off the rails worse than X Files, even though it was nowhere near as good to start off with.

I thought the episode was kinda boring, but the "oh, fuck my family, I'm going to hitch my wagon to your demise" thing bugs the FUCK out of me, and this is even worse than H50.

The Nietzschean, uh, crewmember? Man, I remember virtually nothing.

How far along does the clip show happen?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They didn't air Castle's clip show here. I guess they felt it was still too soon to air an episode about a bomb in Massachusetts, but it was available On Demand, so we were still able to see it.

Ohhhhhh! I just went to play the episode my DVR recorded, and it's clearly and old one, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Will On-Demand it.

Edit: But apparently I can't. But also apparently no loss!

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

Jesse, you only need a couple of youtube videos. [link] [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm stoked for tonight's Elementary. The promo looks like they're heading into Moriarty goodness.

I haven't caught any of hte episodes involving Moriarty. Can you give me a thumbnail summary of how Elementary is handling him?
