ABC's Castle - discussions (merged)

[Andra]

I was cracking up most of the time.  It took me a few minutes during the opener to realize the Castle was the guy in the Elvis suit.  And yes, totally cocky enough to pull it off.

[Andra]

We finally watched Monday's Castle last night.  This one was so twisted around that I had problems following it.  But the interaction between the cast was awesome.  I think some of the best scenes came at the end at Ryan and Jenny's wedding.

I agree with the best scenes.

I didn't think much of the murderer. We saw her for what? five seconds? And all of a sudden, she's leaving in handcuffs. It was a good episode, though.

Next week's episode:
February 6: “The Blue Butterfly” When Castle and Beckett investigate the killing of a treasure hunter, they discover the case is linked to a mysterious homicide from 1947 involving a hard-boiled private detective. Castle realizes the only way to solve the present-day murder is to solve the murder from the past. The 1947 case comes to life through stylized flashbacks, featuring Castle as the private eye and Beckett as a femme fatale.

DH and I can't agree about whether we think we will like it or not

Uh, oh....that might be one I have to watch alone, if then. My husband doesn't care for flashbacks.

I love those kind of episodes.  I was very excited seeing the previews last week.

[Cindy416]

I think the upcoming episode looks like a lot of fun. A couple of seasons (or more) ago, "Bones" did a similar episode, and it was lots of fun. Is there anyway that "Castle" CAN'T be fun? Not in my book.

[Andrew Warwick]

They had a sneak peek of the episode showing the first ten minutes.  Was awesome.

For those who want to know you have Alexis as a newly wed southern gal looking for her runaway sister (Beckett) who is involved with a mob boss.  Ryan and Esposito are Irish and Cuban enforcers that work for him, while Lanie is a blues singer.

I wish I'd seen that! I love everything about "Castle."

I read about it in TV Guide a couple of weeks ago and I'm looking forward to it!  I was really sad, I thought it was supposed to be this week and I was all ready to watch it on Tuesday on Tivo...and it wasn't there.  Then I remembered it was next week after Feb. ratings started....

[Andra]

So, we watched "The Blue Butterfly" last night and both of us totally enjoyed it.  We thought the flashback scenes were done very well with Castle narrating or reading the 1940s parts and then the scene shifting back to modern-day.  It was also neat to see the characters cut loose a little bit with their 1940s counterparts.  I definitely want to watch it again as I am sure there are things I missed the first time around.
The previews for next week are advertising that it's a 2-parter - grrrrrrr.

Stana Katic is the most beautiful woman on TV right now, and Nathan Fillion might be my favorite actor. I feel like he'd be fun to hang out with in real life.

[drenfrow]

I totally enjoyed it.  I actually thought Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion were the weakest with the accents, I thought the other characters did a better job with that, but it was a very fun episode.

[Ann in Arlington]

I agree the Butterfly episode was good. . .even my husband agreed it was cute. . . . .

[Andrew Warwick]

The fact that Molly Quinn is now old enough to play a married woman in the Blue Butterfly just weirds me out.

Same here, but you have to admit that she appeared to be a very young married woman.

It was fun to see Lost's Mark Pellegrino (Jakob) as the mob boss.
And I did love the film noir flashbacks.

[Gertie Kindle 'a/k/a Margaret Lake']

Hulu Plus no longer features Castle on the front page. Boo Hiss. That's how I missed two episodes. But I was watching for this one because of you guys. Thank you.

Yes, an all around good episode with a great ending. I loved that the Blue Butterfly turned out to be costume jewelry.

Wish Nathan Fillion would lose about 40 pounds.

[Ann in Arlington]

Gaaaaagh!!!!!

I watched my TiVo recording of Castle last night (no . . . actually it was Tuesday because last night was choir) . . . . and

To Be Continued!   

What?


Noooooooo!!!!!!!

Darn sweeps month.

I. Hate. Cliffhangers.

That being said, the plot of this week's episode is even more ridiculous than usual.

I'm pretty sure this one was already done on Numb3rs.

Mad at myself because I knew it was going to be a two parter and if I'd remembered, I would have waited to watch it next week.

[drenfrow]

I did remember at the last minute so I'm waiting to watch both next week.  It's hard though, it stares at me on the list, begging to be watched.

[Ann in Arlington]

I liked it and am looking forward to this week's episode.  My husband wasn't sure who, exactly, it was who stole the bodies however.

[Andra]

We are waiting to watch it too.  Cliffhangers drive me nuts!!!
The plan is to watch both of them next Tuesday.

[jmiked]

I found out it was a two-parter prior to air date, so I decided to just keep the first part on the DVR until I can watch both parts one after the other. I despise cliff-hangers.
