Castle - season 2 (1 Viewer)

[Patrick Sun]

Don Draper's mistress and Mrs. Ari? Not a bad pair of guest-stars.

Castle's daughter can't be this perfect, can she?

I've seen Chuck a few times, but I never got into it. It looked fun, but maybe I'm not into that kind of show anymore.

Mary, I see there were cows.

Firefly is definitely worth checking out. BestBuy has it online for $11. As for Chuck, go over to the Chuck thread and check out the S3 preview. It should change your mind.

As to Castle, I wish they would start addressing the cop's mother's murder.

Hi Lou-

Wow, $11 dollars for Firefly. I'll keep it in mind. Amazing how low DVD 's are getting now!

That "kid" from Boy Meets World hasn't aged a day!

Lots of people I recognized in this episode. In addition to Ryder Strong, we got Anne Dudek ("Cutthroat Bitch"!), Phil LaMarr ("MadTV", voice actor extraordinaire), and of course Marc Blucas (Riley from "Buffy", pseudo-Shaggy in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back").

I remember on the commentary, Mewes forgot his name and called him "Ryan" instead of "Riley".

This show has nothing on recognizable faces guest starring on "BONES". The list of Buffy / ANGEL guest actors grows longer with every episode, including last week's.

I didn't recognize anybody except the diplomat.

Have to say, after the last several, I'm losing interest.

The groom has been highly visible lately. He was on Ghost Whisperer last Friday and is in a lot of commercials. I knew he was the "beef stew kind of night/Mr. Fuzzy Man" dude, but he also has apparently been gellin' and in an Aflac ad. Coincidentally, I noticed both Dr. Scholls and Aflac ads when FF through the commercials.

The killer was Graham Beckel, who I mainly know from a bygone Army ad. "He shook my hand and looked me straight in the eye." His brother is pundit Bob Beckel and like Bob and Bill Bennett, their views are diametrically opposed. That seems a bit unusual to me, but I guess it's not.

Anyway. Alyssa was looking mighty fine last night.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

I know Graham Beckel primarily from his role as Commander Jack Fisk on "Battlestar Galactica".

 

[Greg_S_H]

Oh, yeah. The Pegasus, I think?

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

You got it.

I thought this week's episode was really good. I liked how one of the cops was really getting into the real estate videos and falling for the scam! I liked how they suddenly shift the tone of the episode as Beckett realizes she's on the trail of her mother's killer.

The resolution was good. I figured they'd keep the thread going for her to still be trying to find her mother's killer. And it was really nice to see as she admits to Castle she wants him around. So it was a nice range of emotion and Castle was being serious and really nice to her. A nice continuation from last week where the coroner knows Beckett is into Castle.

It's also interesting that Nathan is playing Castle as not a traditional TV hero type. He's just a guy whose a writer, so when the killer takes him hostage, he's scared. The head butt was a hero move, but I like how he plays it like a real situation, it hurt!

Of course, in real life, this whole scenario is absurd that a cop would allow a civilian this much access and involvement in real cases!.

I'm not clear if I missed or it has not been said as to why Beckett's mother was murdered.

It hasn't been said. That's the lingering mystery.

Thanks Michael!

Yes, this was an unexpectedly huge episode, the sort you expect from a season finale. Good performance from Stana Katic, great performance from Nathan Fillion. I looked watching how Castle reacted to everything in this episode.

 

[Patrick Sun]

It's funny how the money issue was dispense with a simple line from Castle, must be nice to be Mr. Moneybags, too.

someone pointed out on avs that this was the 13th episode, which was the initial order at first until they were granted the back 9 for the rest of the year. so it makes sense it had that feel to it.

That explains it then. I had that feeling too. I really enjoy this show.

ABC just tacked another two episodes onto the season order bringing the total to 24 this season. That is up from an initial order of 13 last summer.

Needless to say, things are looking very good for a third season.
