I cannot recall where I read it, but there was a spoiler out there, telling that Irene Adler was alive. So, not surprised by that. I did like her paintings...
Coming on the same day that CBS finally managed to re-sign the ladies of Criminal Minds, although still at lower salaries than the males, I found it lovely that Watson was the one who figured out the case of the week, not Holmes. I also appreciated her comment about the police captain packing a penis. Through my entire working career, I saw men hired in at lower positions than mine or those of other women, and at higher pay. Most recently, in this century. Watson has a valid point.
1) The North By Northwest scene with the drone.
2) I think she said "Nothing" because she was tired, and did not feel like starting a big discussion just then, before she had time to think.
3) She should of course consider it. However, one point which occurs to me, and which I've not seen mentioned, is the potential for bringing Senator William Bracken to justice for the murder of Johanna Beckett. That should be considered, and also, whether having a job with no backup would make it easier or harder for Bracken to kill Kate Beckett.
4) I miss Martha. I am a huge Susan Sullivan fan, since the days of It's A Living. Her Martha is brilliant, and the relationship between Castle and Martha is wonderful to witness. He will be needing her wise counsel.
5) He will be hurt and worried. I hope this does not leave a permanent burr under the saddle of their relationship. There really has been enough drama.
@ Runaldo The real NCIS has no rules and regulations against agents getting involved. This was discussed in detail on an earlier seasonal DVD of NCIS. They even allow agents to be married.
The rule is that of Gibbs. It is not official. He cannot enforce it. He did not follow it himself with Jenny. And in any case, none of the characters on NCIS LA work for Gibbs. If they want to get involved, they are free to do so with no fear of losing ther jobs.
@ l'empress You are not the only one who feels that the Tony/Ziva relationship is not wondrous and right for the characters. However, I approach it from the view that Tony can do better, not Ziva. Same goal, different reasons. Still, I think that is the final intention of the writers, if CdP renews her contract. I keep remembering the final episode of J*A*G, which stretched out the relationship between Mac and Harm to a length beyond ridiculous.

@ Just Asking, But... I was not in Keith Vlasak's accident, but I nearly was in one such myself, back in my youth. I was barreling along on my motorcycle at 50 mph on a paved country road in Illinois, and a truck in front of me suddenly turned left into a farmhouse driveway. Had I been in a car, I would now be dead, as this was before seatbelts were invented. I took my motorcycle onto the right hand verge in the gravel, and slid by. Still scares me to consider it, after all these years. So anyway, there are many places with driveways, and 55 mph speed limits. Actually, back then, the speed limits were usually 65 mph. They had not yet been lowered.
I have watched the car crash several times on CBS.com. Many years ago, I sustained a concussion and whiplash from a beating. I remember very well that I could not move my head from straight forward and straight level for about three weeks. And I was not concussed badly enough to lose consciousness. Getting T-boned like that, even when the car was hit in the engine compartment rather than in the passenger compartment, should have whiplashed them both sideways. There should have been a great deal more recovery involved. I regard the preview with Vance asking Gibbs how they were as flatout deception of the viewers. I had thought NCIS was better than that. It was a disgrace. If they can't write a better cliff-hanger, they should not resort to lying to amp up the tension.
@ Dadesh64 This is one of the sites which references the information that there are two episodes planned for Newhart on TBBT next season. It is not the one where I first encountered it, but it (the prospective recurring role info) is out there. Apparently it was one of Newhart's requirements, that this not be a "one off".
A few days ago, I spent about three hours on YouTube, watching and listening to old Bob Newhart routines he performed when we were both young, and laughing until my face hurt.
I thought that his comments to and about Penny sounded like he wrote them himself, rather than the writers of the show doing it. They nailed just what he would say, and he nailed just how to say it. This was a rare treat, and I look forward to the two appearances you mention for next year. There is never enough Newhart in the world.
Oh, that would be wonderful! And while they are at it, they should think about Wonderfalls. Lee Pace was equaly brilliant in that -- he is really good at quirky.
@ Elliot No, they swapped the running order of those episodes out of concern for the sensitivities of the viewers, because the bombing episode had been scheduled to run right after the Boston Marathon bombing. Delaying it one week gave extra time for the BM bombing to recede from minds.
The kiss I like the best is the one at the docks, the undercover kiss, with both of them seemingly lost in wonder at how great this is after all the speculation, but Kate whipping around and clocking that bad guy nevertheless. She never lost her focus on the point, despite the wondrous kissing. I love that.
I would like to seem some indication that Jane realizes that his room was invaded and his board was copied by the FBI. Thus far, he has looked at that board, but nothing has shown on his face, nor has he mentioned it to Lisbon. I'd also like to see if it is doing them any good --
I thought that Mayim Bialik swiped that scene right out from under Jim Parsons. It was brilliant. But my reaction to Penny's comment that she is passionate about her friends and Leonard was, "Huh?" I don't see that. She does not seem to get excited about much of anything any more.
@ Michelle Israel already had a female prime minister, decades ago. Ever hear of Golda Meir? She was the prime minister of Israel from 1969--1974. A LOT of countries have had female presidents and prime ministers. Some do now. Sadly, the USA is not one of them. In terms of gender equality, there is nothing "forward thinking" at all about the USA.
Worshipful fans are not the only group for whom this web site is designed. There are many folks, including some of the reviewers, who have negative things to say about programs that some fans revere. Without criticism, nothing will ever improve. And while I am sure that the ardent fans' love for their shows is sincere, so is the disdain of those who deplore bad writing, bad plotting, bad acting, bad singing, bad dancing, or whatever other afflictions are exhibited on some of the programs covered by TVFanatic. And those who choose to read reviews and comments are entitled to do so. Surely if you wish to only associate with others who would change nothing, you could find such a web site. This is not it.
I did not need to hear him to regard his words with due reverence. His web site was always worth the time it took to read it, and there are few of those these days. Back in the day, when he and Siskel were in their heydey, I always enjoyed the brisk disagreements, with the intelligent arguments. I don't watch movie reviewers any more, if there are any, and I don't watch movies any more, either.
Actually, I think Kripke had the funniest attempt to kiss up to Mrs. Davis. His comment about children just finding something about him to be funny was very funny ...
I laughed out loud when Raj told his dog that he'd cut the cleaning lady to twice a week, and they would both be living like animals. If he could only see my house ...
I would pick Leonard, but that is because he is generally the most mature of those three. He definitely was, tonight. Also, Sheldon would/will be insufferable if tenured, and so would Raj. Leonard has a bit more empathy in him.
I thought the episode was excellent, start to finish. Shemar Moore really impressed me, as he seldom has.
I have my doubts about whether he will ever heal entirely, and the man being dead really changes nothing.
I think he would have been forced to honor that deal. Lawyers. He had not told on Buford up until that point (to the other prisoners), so it would have just been continuing to be silent.
No, I think his conversion was a sham. Had his conversion been real, he would have provided a complete list of names. He had no honor, and true followers have honor.
@ DebB831 That is precisely the same thing I thought when Tommy asked the other officer out! She looks just like Dani. Man, I did NOT like Dani. But then, I don't care for Tommy either, so fine by me.
I wanted an answer to Ethan's question about what it was like to get bitten by a "zombie." I'd like to know. Too bad they didn't have Tommy give an answer.
I agree with Christine -- we need more Curtis, especially, but also, more Ethan.

Coming on the same day that CBS finally managed to re-sign the ladies of Criminal Minds, although still at lower salaries than the males, I found it lovely that Watson was the one who figured out the case of the week, not Holmes. I also appreciated her comment about the police captain packing a penis. Through my entire working career, I saw men hired in at lower positions than mine or those of other women, and at higher pay. Most recently, in this century. Watson has a valid point.
