Crossing Castle off my list of shows

 

     That’s it I’m done.  When Beckett tasted the drugs that they found in the locker, I was ready to throw a brick at the TV.  No *%$#^$ way!   The writers of the show seriously need to do some real research or talk to some honest to goodness live police officers. 

     Hell, Lee Lofland would love it if they came to him for advice or attended the Writers Police Academy.  Check out his link on my blogroll–Graveyard Shift.

     In the entire show, the only scene I enjoyed was the last one between Beckett and Castle.  Geez, that’s bad.  Most people who switched channels in disgust missed the best scene.  I was busy at the computer—yes, I walked away from the show.  Not far though since my computer is in the living room.  DH was still watching it and making derisive comments through to the end.

     The worst thing is that the premise of this show was good.  The writing however, sucked big time.  For me it means time to say bye bye to Castle.  I have better things to do with my time…like write.

Gavin, Lee Lofland, Castle, and more

 

     Gavin’s face look less swollen today and he actually stole a Nylabone from Patty to chew on it for a bit.  She was very sweet and let him take it.  I think she’s as glad as we are that he’s feeling better.

     I adore Lee Lofland’s site, The Graveyard Shift.  Heck, I adore Lee.  I met him at a Pennwriters conference.  Last TV season Lee ran a critique of Castle every week—one of my favorite new shows.  He’s started doing a critique of it again this season.  I enjoy his insights and those of the others who comment there.  Having a retired cop in the house, I see (or have them pointed out to me) most of the blips in the crime shows.

     I’ve begun the fall cleaning cycle in my house.  I tackled my desk yesterday and cleared it of an over abundance of crap paper work, magazines, and reference books that I put back in their proper places in the bookcase.  I then dusted and cleaned the entire desk.  Wow, I can see under my monitor now and the glass desk top gleams.  Tomorrow I’ll work on the rest of the living room.
