Mr. Steele had been outfitted with an electrode installed into his brain by the minions of the real party boss, Rush Limbaugh. And every time Steele said something contrary to what that gasbag believed, he was given an electric shock.
Remember, Kiddies: Rush Limbaugh IS the GOP: Garrulous Oxycontin Partaker.
Long-time visitors to this site know how I feel when a TV show mentions another TV show AS a TV show. That's a "Zonk", a discrepancy in the concept that all TV shows should be sharing the same TV Universe. Sure, we have 'Sliders' to provide the template for alternate TV dimensions (although the basic idea existed long before 'Sliders' came along, thanks to shows like 'Star Trek'). But the dream is for them all to co-exist.
One added item of interest - if you check out the preview clip at either CBS.com or at Hulu.com, you'll see Sheldon's Skynet speech reworked with added SFX to later scenes of Summer Glau dealing with the other guys. It's pretty funny if low-tech.
Depending on how successful 'Castle' turns out to be for ABC, the bookshelves of Toobworld could be groaning under the weight of the tomes written by Richard Castle, a detective fiction writer called by his publisher (and ex-wife) "The Master Of The Macabre". Maybe there won't be as many books as written by Jessica B. Fletcher of 'Murder, She Wrote', but certainly more than we ever discovered to be written by Maxwell Beckett in the series 'Over My Dead Body'.
Monday night was a great night for the League of Themselves: Summer Glau rode the train with the four "squints" of 'The Big Bang Theory', and in the premiere of 'Castle', "Master of the Macabre" Rick Castle played poker with fellow scribes James Patterson and Stephen J. Cannell.
As time passed, the guilt became overwhelming; she became fixated on flames and kept hearing the screams of the horses. (Even though they survived, their cries became a substitute for those her husband could never utter.) Sheila Denbrow developed what Barney Stinson would say was a bad case of "crazy eyes", and she finally died when she was run down by the horse of rival rancher Martin Storm, who was trying to drag-lynch Cheyenne.
It's the contention of Toobworld Central that her soul was eventually reincarnated as Nora Chandler, a famous actress from the 1950's. Although she had no conscious remembrance of the events in that past life, it now became easier to accomplish the same results as Sheila did.
First, she murdered her husband; then years later, she killed her assistant, the only other person who knew what she did. (Although not stated in the 'Columbo' episode "Requiem For A Falling Star", I believe Nora's assistant was the young woman who had been having the affair with Nora's husband when they were discovered by the actress.)
Like I said, past life experience made it easier to do such heinous acts.
In "The Storm Riders", 'Cheyenne' Bodie worked as a ranch hand for John Denbrow, his second wife Sheila, and his daughter Johnnie. There was an attraction between Cheyenne and 17 year old Johnnie; he even offered to stay on for a while longer, perhaps entertaining the idea that something might come of their interest in each other. But Johnnie sent him on his way - she knew he wasn't the type to be held down to any one place for very long. And besides, she felt ready to stand on her own as an adult, now that her father had died.
The BBC has commissioned a sitcom centered around a trade unionist (I'm not sure, but I picture the type of characters found in "I'm Alright, Jack".) who moves to a small, conservative village in County Durham. The press release says that other characters in the show would be a wealthy womanizer, a man-child and his battle-axe of a mother, a techno-wizard and an insane survivalist.
