that was the end of 3xk? american snipered by javi? and how the heck do you deal with a knife attack when in full four-point restraint with only one hand free? sure, sure, you can grab the attackers knife hand but then what? why doesn't the attacker just switch the knife to the other hand. srsly?
On a parallel note, I caught the series finale of The Mentalist, which was to Castle as State of Affairs is to Homeland, sort of knock-off lite, or as I like to view it, TV series methadone. I used to follow that show somewhat, but lost track of it a season or two ago. It had the Castle formula: hot brunette detective paired with an annoying Sherlockian civilian hunk, strong supporting cast in the fellow crime solvers, a main character haunted by the murder of a close family member, some uber villains that ran throughout the series, and most episodes began with a phone call after the body was found. Robin Tunney and Simon Baker weren't nearly as attractive as Stana and Nathan, but I really liked Tim Kang in that show - it was one of the few Asian actor roles where he was never saddled with his Asianess. It was a two-hour finale last night and I've totally lost track of what happened with that show (Van Pelt and Rigsby married with kids? wth?) but it was a somewhat satisfying ending as it was a happily ever after one, unlike say, the series finale of Mork and Mindy or Little House on the Prairie, which were just weird. But it was another coupling of the male and female leads, which sort of ruins the sexual tension that made the show special in my mind. Kim Possible was totally ruined when Kim hooked up with Ron.
