brief M*A*S*H reference in Castle

a team of bank robbers take on fictional doctor's names, including Trapper John (M*A*S*H), Dr Huxtable (The Cosby Show), Dr Houser (Doogie Houser, MD) and Dr Quinn (Dr Quinn Medicine Woman).

Raise your hand if you were going to rob a bank and would 100% use the names from M*A*S*H characters.

4.07 Cops and Robbers

Kate Beckett: [on phone] This is Detective Kate Beckett. I understand that you wanted to speak with me.

Trapper John: Yeah, I don't like that other guy.

Kate Beckett: [on phone] Yeah, me either.

Agent Peterson looks annoyed. Beckett covers the mouthpiece of the phone, whispering to him.

Kate Beckett: [to Peterson] You said to build a rapport. [on phone]: So what's your name?

Trapper John: You can call me Trapper John.

Kate Beckett: A "M*A*S*H" fan? It's nice.

I tried to connect all Neil Patrick Harris characters to make it like one life. And his sidekick/wingman for each. Spoilers for Doogie Howser, Dr Horrible's sing along blog, HIMYM, A Series of Unfortunate Events and Uncoupled.

My NPHU (like MCU).

He starts as Doogie Howser when he gets his medical degree and his friend Vinnie. After a while, he gets bored of being a doctor since he has been doing it since he was young. His friend is a shorter brown haired guy who wants girls. Eventually, when Doogie gets bored of being a normal doctor, he becomes Billy, Dr Horrible. Vinnie also moves on with him and becomes Moist (who is another shorter dark haired guy who is Dr Horrible's sidekick). When Billy loses Penny, even though he gets into the Evil League of Evil, he is unable to handle it. I think in HIMYM, when Barney tells his story of how he became how he is with the suits and Shannon, it is partially true. I think the guy did tell him about the suits and cause him to be like that but it wasn't Shannon, it was Penny's death that made him like that to begin with. So, when he "meets" Ted, and says "I'm going to teach you how to live", really it's just Moist who came with him from being Dr Horrible. And he attempts to teach Ted/Moist/Vinnie what he just learned to become Barney Stinson. In How I Met Your Mother, he is originally against the idea of marriage and everything because he lost Penny but when he falls in love with Robin, he changes obviously as the show portrays. However, when he loses Robin due to the divorce, he becomes evil again. He becomes Count Olaf. He uses his money from PLEASE to become Count Olaf. However. He no longer has a sidekick/wingman because his dark haired friend achieved his long term goal and got married and had kids. Since this happened, Ted didn't move on with him so Count Olaf was alone. At the end, Count Olaf loses his again love Kit and fakes his own death. (It was too sad, I refuse to believe he died.) He then moves on from being Count Olaf to Michael Lawson but after losing so many women to death and divorce, he gives up. He realises he is actually bisexual/gay and marries Colin. And then Colin leaves him. It's very sad for him. He tries to make new friends to replace Vinnie/Moist/Ted but then Stanley gets cancer.

Bonus information:

When Barney had his meeting to be crowned Player King of New York City with all the other people. I believe this is inspired by the Evil League of Evil with him trying to create his own.

Done

This is as far as I've got. This is using main things that I have seen NPH in. There are many many plot holes to this and I don't fully remember all of the shows but I still tried my best. I enjoyed this more than I should have and if anyone can be bothered to read this and understands it all, I'd love to talk to someone about it since my friends and family do not care and have not seen it all. Also, if anyone has anything else to add, please do. I do not know if this makes any sense but I cannot be bothered to go back and check, feel free to correct me.

The Giggle is a true work of art

It's a love letter to humanity, but everyone has to be willing to listen for it to work.

I love this gif. Think about it. The MCU has a LARGE audience base and Tony Stark is the face of the MCU and is one of the richest men alive. It is no accident that UNIT looks like a tower that was erected by a a white male American narcissist who sacrificed his life to save the entire universe. Love him or hate him, Tony Stark gets your attention. And so does Iron Man. And so do the other Avengers. You know who else has a tower? Batman. (Right?). He's DC. Some people like both. I don't know enough about the DC characters.

And think about RDJ who is trying to step away from the Tony Stark image. It's a character he loved, a character that changed his life after he got out of prison, and he will always love Tony Stark, but he and Tony Stark are not the same person.

Robert Downey Jr told us what was up in the 1990s.

This is meant to connect to the people who love superheroes and superhero movies. To see that Robert Downey Jr is the way he is because he's seen the ugly side of humanity and he has always told us what he really thinks. People look up to him.

This is meant to catch their eye, to say THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. Please listen to our message.

Nerd culture is beautiful art.

And if you don't spend your time asking yourself how often Neil Patrick Harris is bullshitting us because I refuse to believe that he had never heard of Doctor Who before joining the cast. I think he just threw 100% of his "please" attitude into Barney Stinson.

Remember when Neil Patrick Harris played Doogie Howser, MD? The 14 year old Doctor?

Oh, he was a Doctor too! So let's not forget this other cult classic Doctor character he played. If you haven't seen Doctor Horrible and His Sing-along Blog you are missing out.

He was once listed as one of Times' 100 Most Influential People in 2010.

He's charismatic and is openly affectionate with his husband and their children.

Love him or hate him, he has a large fanbase. And he is an AMAZING actor. And a really good magician too.

And they used his skills as a magician on Doctor Who, took us to Soho in 1925, and the Good Omens fandom arose from our slumber severe hyperfixation and meticulous meta analysis to dig into a fandom where David Tennant is the most popular incarnation of a particular character, so we are already doing nonstop detective work.

The Good Omens fandom LOVES David Tennant. He is our favorite rebellious demon.

He played the MCU's most terrifying villain (there is not one single MCU villain that has ever terrified me as much as Kilgrave because that fucker uses his powers of mind control to force Jessica Jones into being in a relationship with him...among other things). As a character though, he was fucking fascinating despite the fact we have met so many men who act just like him, and we hate all of them.

Side note: When I typed "Doogie Howzer" into the gif search, this is the most popular image that came up. I consistently get Howser and Howzer confused.

Now I've got the attention of the Star Wars fandom! Howzer rocks.

You know who else appeared on a Star Wars show (again) this year?

This entire episode was crafted in a way that it formed as many connections as it could with other fandoms.

And not just that. It made sure to include as much representation as possible. Was it perfect? No, but the point is that Doctor Who is telling the world that it is moving on. It is ready to grow and it is ready to be a mainstream voice for everyone whose existence is being threatened by unjust laws.

The new Doctor defied expectations. This Doctor is a breath of fresh air, and a reminder that we will all be okay, but change is inevitable and this sci-fi show about an alien who is either 2,000 or 4,000,000,005 years old. I can't keep up anymore. It doesn't matter because he's a Doctor free from the confines of societal expectations.

Nerd culture is vast, and I know I've left out fandoms because I don't really have all day nor do I know all the fandoms, so I'm just giving you a taste of what I do love.

This episode is meant to be for everyone who needs a place to call home.

And the old Doctor finally gets to retire to make way for the new Doctor.

And as a reward for longtime fans, the retired Doctor has found a place to call home on Earth with his best friend. David Tennant will always be Doctor Who because the old Doctor was allowed to live.

And for the Staged fandom, you know what that means, Michael?

Happy 51st Birthday, Doogie Howser!
