Another cop show doing a haunted/Halloween episode. Great.

No, but I think that Castle did a good job tonight, both with the main storyline and the sub-plot with Castle continuing to learn on the job about being a father. Few shows have the heart of both family and law that this one does so it always has that working for it.

The writing is still on a bit of a downward spiral, but it was not that bad a show overall. It progressed quickly. Some amusing material here and there, and a nice twist to end it all. Still better than most episodes this season.moreless

Another OK episode, writers where are you??

8.0

By Beckett, Oct 31, 2011

So by the promo this looked like it was going to be fun and comical but it wasn't really either. Not to say the episode itself wasn't a nice change to go paranormal and not too way out like the super hero one a few weeks back, but it still lacked a lot of good energy. I think the series needs to get back to the fun and light hearted otherwise all the talking can get a bit tiresome.

The episode had some great sets this week though so props to the art dept. The mix of Ghostbusters theme was great to add and those little sparks were there for Castle and Beckett, well to be honest more Beckett than Castle. Lets hope Castle can show more flirty and charming looks in the next few eps otherwise I will believe he has lost complete interest in Beckett. Shame about Esposito and Lanie as the writers didn't even give them a chance. The actual concept of the murder was great and that has been the case throughout the season, just a shame the inbetween catching the murderer and the murder itself there seems to be too much babble and not enough excitement.

OK heres to hoping next weeks episode brings excitement as I'm getting a bit bored this season. Bar Rise and last weeks all seemed wasteful and forgettable episodes to me.moreless

- Beckett: Why are you so determined to find the supernatural in all this?
  Castle: Why are you so determined not to?
  Beckett: You know what? I am just following the evidence wherever it may lead, and as a cop, I'm going to consider every possible worldly explanation.
  Castle: And what if there is none?
  Beckett: Well, then I'm open to the alternatives.
  Castle: (laughs) You? Skepticus Maximus?

- Beckett: So what's our next step? Are we gonna stake out the house, wait for the demon to show up, zap him with our proton pack?
  Castle: That's not a real thing, you know, that real ghost hunters use.

- Beckett: (about the blood spatter) Some of it should've landed on the killer.
  Castle: Yet every drop of it landed on the floor. This spray is completely unobstructed.
  Lanie: Exactly. It doesn't make sense.
  Castle: Unless the blood passed right through the killer.
  Lanie: Are you saying a ghost did this?
  Beckett: Please don't encourage him.
