In praise of, or at least defense of, fluff

Does anyone else here watch Castle? That's willing to admit to it?

It may be formulaic and not particularly smart and aiming for a demographic I don't necessarily want to be associated with, but I just can't make myself care. Duuuudes, it's Nathan Fillion in high banter mode. How can that be wrong? It's not like watching Eastwick, which makes me feel all skeezy. It's comfort TV.

Also, I think the book is kind of cute. It's fictional fiction! With fictional characters based on other fictional characters, written by a fictional character. I wonder how many people are buying it that don't know anything about the TV show, only that it's on the bestseller lists?

Oh, last night they threw the Firefly fans a bone. It was sweet.
