Write a Recap »Castle, great new show hide show
So after many shows were cancelled (Damn, Im still pissed off Kyle XY got axed without a proper ending..) , I thought I should check Castle out.
And It wasn't a mistake.. the show is great, Nathan Fillion is priceless. That smart-ass character of his is fun and intriguing.
Her sidekick is pretty and has a story of her own. I would put this kind of partnership in the same league as Booth x Brennan (Bones) and Dr. Hood and Rachel (Eleventh Hour). Well, Bones is on its 5th season, I think so it had plenty of time to developt its characters. Eleventh hour on the other hand, brings the genious Dr. Hood and the FBI woman just as plain muscle with one relevant thing or two to say.
Castle, even tho still on its first season, shows a lot of promise and makes us wanna watch more of it.
Great cast, interesting cases and awesome episodes.
Doing good so far
Cheers!
The show just elevated itself! hide show
After seeing that the show "Castle" had been renewed for another season, I thought I'd check it out, since most scripted shows were being canceled.
In general, the show has a light feel, and is "old school" in its character interactions and story lines (no excessive violence, no flashiness, no csi stuff). In a way, this is refreshing.
But after 4 episodes, it was starting to feel a little bit trite. I'm glad I kept going, because this episode (#5) has been the best one so far.
The tone is more serious. The murder mystery is interesting, having taken place years ago, and to watch them try to fit the missing pieces together since they already know the endpoint.
There is a poignant character backstory that is fleshed out towards the end, and this also hints at a larger story arc, or that thing "in the background" that will be a thread throughout the show (though probably only now and then) and which hints at a greater resolution of a fundamental mystery.
This episode felt less trite, more interesting, more warm and human, than the previous episodes, with the promise of future depth. I hope this continues!
A very good episode with character development for Beckett. (Spoilers) hide show
I really enjoyed this episode of Castle. It had a good mystery, and plenty of Comedy. I really enjoyed the scene where Castle was at home playing laser tag with his daughter. And I especially loved when Beckett knocked on his door, and he, his daughter, and his mom were all standing there talking to her. They all had good reactions to what was going on. I'm most excited about Beckett opening up to Castle, and how he is really starting to care about her. I hope that Castle can manage to solve Beckett's mother's murder case. Overall, I give this episode, A Chill Goes Through Her Veins, a 9.5 out of 10.
A far more sober episode intended to reveal Beckett's past. hide show
A departure from the usual charming detective comedy and though not brilliant, still touching.
Got to admire Sam's inventiveness in getting Melanie's body out of his apartment, a fake delivery of a fridge, get it upstairs, move the body, take it out again with apologies for the error. Keeping the body refrigerated is very cold, no pun intended. Displays a depth of thought and planning that is disturbing. Very clever, no body means she stays a missing person and no evidence turns up to ruin things. It could have gone on indefinitely if not for Sam's murder. Who can blame the best friend for stopping the payments, five years of living with that horror on your conscience, this was a chance to make things right and accept the consequences of a choice to help a murderer, even if he is your best friend. Of course, there was the downside of waiting until the body is finally found, waiting for the shoe to drop.
Beckett is faced with the unenviable choice – do nothing and Sam's murderer goes free or do her duty and expose the truth. Horrible as the choice is, there is no choice – Beckett is a good cop and could never have done that. She couldn't have lived with it. Being a police officer is more than a job, it's a calling. If you don't believe in justice, how could you do the job? Even if the courts mess up and he walks, she's done her job and done it well. It's a matter of faith.
Castle finally finds out the mystery tragedy which made Beckett a cop and her little ritual with the watch and the ring is quite touching, the idea surprisingly deep. Very subtly acted. I like that Castle has come to care for her enough to take an interest, even though digging into her mother's murder will bring him into conflict with her when she finds out.
A very different episode than the previous ones and while it was less enjoyable, it was well done.
Castle and Beckett work on a missing person's case which involves a frozen body. hide show
This episode was great. We have an actual unique case. Before this episode we have had typical murders, and typical scenarios found in other cop type movies. This last one however had an emotional tie in with Beckett and Castle has his usual wisecracks. My favorite part of the episode is the scene where Castle is playing laser tag with his daughter. This episode further fleshes out Beckett's backstory, and deepens the interactions between Beckett and Castle. This show is great, and pray to whatever God you believe in because this cannot end like Firefly. This show is just too witty and funny to be canceled.
