A Dance with Death

6.0

By thefanof, Mar 24, 2012

Smart idea to follow an episode of Dancing with the Stars with a murder on the set of a Dancing show, but after the initial premise was introduced things got really boring, predictable and unoriginal. Not enough Castle and Beckett investigating either as they devoted too much time to Kevin and Javier's nonsense.

Seemed a bit of a "filler" episode.

8.0

By mnementh01, Mar 22, 2012

While I thoroughly enjoyed the episode, there seemed to be little or no character development.

I thought the "case de jour" was pretty interesting with the doppelganger taking over the other girl's life.

Lanie's revelation that the "girls" had killed her ballerina aspirations was brilliant, giving Castle and Ryan their "Oh I don't know" moment about top heavy dancers.

The sidebar of Ryan's "Honeymoon stink" brought in some chuckles when Esposito still got the vibe from the ladeees, while Ryan was ignored.

Still no way forward for the Caskett fans and quite frankly, it's getting boring.

C'mon writers, either get it done or kill it off!

However, still looking forward to the next show.moreless

- Ryan: Damn. Did you see that?
  Esposito: Mmm-hmm.
  Ryan: She acted like I didn't even exist.
  Esposito: You don't. Not since you put that ring on your finger. Get used to being invisible to single women.

- Ryan: I gotta say, Dr. Parish. I never figured you for a fan of "A Night Of Dance."
  Lanie: I'm not exactly. It's just...when I was young, more than anything, I wanted to be a prima ballerina. If I wasn't dancing, I was thinking about dancing.
  Castle: So what happened?
  Lanie: (points at her breasts) The girls came along when I was 13. Not that many top-heavy ballerinas out there.
  Castle: Well, I think there should be.
  Beckett: Of course you do.
  Castle: That's not what I meant. Although...(Ryan nods his head in agreement.)
