Don't remember the episode name, but the one where the young pop star is found murdered in a pose that echoed one of her videos. When Alexis is playing her last song for Castle, there's the line, "Death she draws near," which Castle takes literally until Alexis points out that the singer was into Tarot and that in Tarot, Death doesn't mean literal death.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

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

Because books.
I think the general viewing audience assumes the Death card = death, though.
I watched the last episode again today so S. could see it, and I wish someone would do a color analysis of the wardrobe choices. I'd love to see what anyone else makes of it.

I know, but I think it's a trivial and interesting thing to explain. Given that shows spend plenty of time explaining that the tension in the tennis racket is specific to a given player or whatever (it's not), sometimes they could just say the right thing in that time itself, or steal thirty seconds from a rape scene somewhere else.

I hope Spaulding gets brought back. I'll miss that freaky little dude.
Are we supposed to feel badly that Madame is now locked in Marie Laveau's basement and being bled for beauty cream? Because I am totally Team Laveau. I mean, in general I'm against draining someone's blood to use as your night cream, but if I'm asked to pick a side here, I gotta go with Marie. I enjoy Kathy Bates' performance and I think she's done a lot to humanize a monstrous character, but not nearly enough to earn any "Oh, no" moments when her character comes to harm. So long as that's not what they are going for, I'm alright with that.

The last two episodes have been not that entertaining, I think. Suddenly Zoe stabs people? Remember when we thought that killing people with sex was her biggest problem?
And I thought the Queenie and Delphine show was a lot more fun than it had any right to be, but seriously. She killed a baby, and that's the last straw?

Yay, Kristen! So far you're kicking ass on this one! Is this your only one this season?
