    I watched one episode of Castle and was confused about why they decided to remake Murder She Wrote with Nathan Fillion, but I guess that's their business.

    Possibly because Murder, She Wrote was amazing and deserves to always be honored in television

    Because an eternity of will they or won't they is the absolute worst.

    Because people can have a close working relationship and friendship without romantic overtones, and you can have a compelling TV show without it. So far Elementary has done a really friggin' great job with this.

    But they didn't do that at aallll

    wait they didn't?

    This is what I get for only watching it when literally NOTHING ELSE IS ON

    oh no I mean Castle didn't even try to have a platonic friendship there

    I dont know nothin about Elementary

    Also maan I haven't seen any Castle anything in years

    If there's a game where I can recall certain moments in perfect, vivid clarity, it's probably DayZ though

    Sorry, WoW!

    They sure can! And Elementary is absolutely fantastic, and I'd probably stop watching if they made Joan and Sherlock a couple.

    But Castle had romantic overtones from the start. The show was built around will-they-or-won't-they. From the very first episode. Castle and Beckett's relationship was a thing from day one.

    It's apples and oranges to compare the relationship on Elementary and the relationship on Castle. They've been two entirely different things every step of the way.

    Graveyards can be super pretty though! Pretty much anything that was used a graveyard in the Victorian era ended up getting made out to be what was essentially parkland with a bunch of headstones everywhere. Where they show up in cities they're effectively green space, typically very peaceful places with big, old, shady trees. A graveyard can be a fantastic place to sit down and read a book outside on a warm summer's day. And there's history there too, where you can sometimes see bits of the story of a city on the tombstones and monuments.

    Agreed!

    One day I might get to design a graveyard, and I think that would be a wonderful project.

    Totally! I love graveyards as recreational space, but it was more about me being in a different mind space. I was focussed on something specific and she talked about this nice graveyard by a lake in the forest where the affluent buried their embarrassing mentally ill relatives in and how wonderful of a place she thought it was and how it must be particularly beautiful in the spring. I stammered out something incoherent in an attempt to seem like a person capable of speaking. Can't say I succeeded.

    Just ah, make sure it has walls.

    They don't have to be big walls. Just that there's walls. And a gate. It needs to be fully enclosed.

    It's not about keeping people out. . .

    Sorry, WoW!

    I didn't play enough of DayZ, but yeah that game had some seriously intense moments where I was glued to my monitor with absolute concentration. Adrenaline pumping as I went sneaking through the woods away from a group of other players that were trying to hunt me, or running pell-mell through Elektro looking for some medical supplies to help a dying friend on the outskirts, or having the same friend take potshots at a passing helicopter that came back and offloaded a group of well-geared players that proceeded to annihilate us, or my friend and I crouching in the traffic control tower in the northwest airfield when the door opens suddenly and there's three guys there and we all freeze up before we all frantically unload our weapons and somehow my friend and I came out unscathed while everyone else was dead and that's how we got our first car.

    Goddamn, I gotta hit my friend up and see if he wants to play again.

    Or mix them into cement and pour several blocks and then use them to build buildings across the globe.

    I feel like this needs to be the plot of a TV show.

    Some lunatic collects the bodies of people executed for horrified crimes, mixes them into buildings under construction so that the buildings are built haunted from day one. A team of kick-ass nuns travel to these places, busting those ghosts, and searching for clues as to the identity of the diabolical demon-possessed person behind it all.

    Parental leave:
    there's all sorts of provisos and rules, but it basically goes
    Unpaid leave: both parents are entitled to 1 year unpaid leave that can be taken sequentially or concurrently, plus a couple of weeks at the time of birth.
    Paid leave: Only the mother has an entitlement to paid leave, except in the case of adoption. Currently this is 14 weeks, but is increasing to 16 then 18 weeks in the next few years. I have no idea whether this is 100% or a flat rate or minimum wage, because Jen's unemployed.
