I think they're just trolling us with the whole 'we don't know yet!' No way they don't know yet.

The Bratva tattoo is on his chest, the removed tattoo was on his back. I had to look at screencaps - it was quite the ordeal.

Fringe had those glyphs that could also be used as a cypher. I love gimmicky title sequences but I was too lazy to pay that much attention. I think it's too early to tell whether the Blindspot anagrams are supposed to make a coherent statement or not. Who knows we might end up with a Molly Bloom-worthy stream of…

No anagram for the pilot. Episode 2: A Stray Howl - Taylor Shaw. There's a theory that the anagrams can be read as one statement, that would make so far: Taylor Shaw, the missing girl or maybe not.

The biscuit was kinda badass in his own way. I wish we could have Peter MacNicol and Patton Oswald together in one episode (heck, I'd watch a spin-off).

And POI would like to chime in.

Oh dear - Veronica and Duncan!

I like it! Though phenomenon does predate Castle. I think I noticed it for the first time with the Frog-plot on NCIS. But it's probably even older than that. However Castle is one of the worst offenders: the dragon-plot, Castle's spy-dad (that was at least not going on forever), last season's big mystery of Castle's…

Well, if 'Daylights' was some shifty program using SEALs they might have been forced off the grid once the government (or whoever) pulled the plug. It was either going underground or going 'underground' if you know what I mean.

You forgot the dramatic removal of your sunglasses!

I'm still looking for a good term to describe that weird affliction that seems to catch on with way too many procedurals recently: the sudden rise of completely unnecessary conspiracy plots/serialized over-the-top villains etc. They never end well. I like Castle best when it's a solid procedural with a bit of…

If you watched it sternly refusing to acknowledge the Beckett-pulls-an-Ahab-plot it was kinda fun and had even a whiff of old-school Castle.

So do I after seeing the second episode. If they manage to keep that up it's going to be the best of those new shows with male/female leads. But as far as I know the show hasn't gotten enough love here to get regular reviews.

I just remembered something: Jane/Taylor DID in fact stay in the car last week. And what did that get her? Crazy drone pilot coming at her guns ablazing. Girl can't win.

I know I've seen it several times but right now I can only remember a NCIS episode where it happened. It's been a while though.

He! Some brave soul (i.e. not I) should finally create that page. Don't forget to add the trope-subverted category. Meek person does stay in the car, perp is about to make a successful escape and is then run over by mild-mannered in-car-staying character who suddenly turned badass.

My world just collapsed - tv tropes does not have an entry for 'Stay in the Car' (just a place-holder)! This can't be! At least they've got an entry for 'Wait here', phew.

It's mind-blowing dumb. One episode featured mutant male rats that were able to give birth but they still needed female rats (or rather rat-queens) because the males produced no milk. Nope, Zoo does not care that male mammals can actually lactate but have neither ovaries, nor uteri or, you know, the necessary pipes to…

Because he's old!
(Just trying to squeeze out some sense of Carey's subplot.)

The first overall review of the show here was way too harsh in my opinion. I thought the pilot okay and was pleasantly surprised with this episode as they were doing a couple of unexpected things. I don't have a pathological hatred for procedurals. I do like crazy central mysteries as long as the writers manage to…
