1) I am unconditionally in favour of Moar Femslash, but while I am in awe of the amazing and creative ways in which writers make Joan Watson/Moriarty work, Moriarty does not deserve nice things, and Joan Watson is a very nice thing. Result: frustration.

2) I told [personal profile] fairestcat and [personal profile] fajrdrako that I needed to post this: I am forever condemned to be A Fake Comics Geek, for I will never have a pull box. Because I read my wife's comics and genuinely cannot think of a situation where I'd want to read something she wasn't reading often enough to get my own box.

3) I am genuinely impressed by this week's Castle and how it managed not to Do The Sexist Tropey Thing this week. I was all ready to be furious and ended up going You Brilliant Bastards.

1) I would be pleased to see more neutral and positive female roles in Elementary, yes. While Joan has excellent tension with the female villains, that is in no way healthy sex-relationship building. =|

2) *snerk* Yeah, well.

3) -- Really? I keep bouncing off Castle whenever I try watching an episode. Which one is this?

That is a great way to describe it. Apparently, that is a thing that I like. I never would have expected to say so, but it's what makes me keep watching Castle when heaps of other shows have fallen off my radar. I'm enjoying Forever at the moment but I do find myself wishing there was more COMPLETELY WHACKADOODLE there, for instance.

If I do keep watching Forever, and I think I probably will if it gets renewed, it'll be for the chemistry between Ioan Gruffudd and Judd Hirsch. What's sad is that I can't even remember the lady detective's name [wry g].

Same here! I'm in it for a) Ioan Gruffudd's lovely sexy calming face, b) the awesome father/son thing between Henry and Abe. I do like Det. Jo Martinez, but the boys are really carrying the show.

(Distant c), I liked the Henry/dominatrix plot a few episodes back, and apparently she's returning? I could get into that as a ship, more than Henry/Jo which I like best as friends.)

I kind of wish they'd stick with COMPLETELY WHACKADOODLE, personally. This the *how* manyth time Beckett's been kidnapped???

Ah. And I look at it the same way I look at a screwball romantic comedy movie. It's supposed to be a fantasy, not real.

I admit whackadoodle is much harder to maintain over a long period of time, and Castle's been around, for, what? [googles] seven seasons now as opposed to a two-hour movie.

I know it wasn't a kidnapping, but Ryan and Espo getting caught in that collapsed building the day Ryan's wife goes into labor counts, I think. Speaking of gutwrenching...

Oh, fair enough. I've cherry-picked a couple series (looking at you, Primeval...) for maximum 'I am likely to enjoy this more than its neighbours', which is one of the reasons I asked. =)
