Nathan Fillion gives good interview. It's just a fact, although I realize not a very surprising one.
Going into the fourth season of 'Castle' (premieres Mon., Sept. 19, 10PM ET on ABC), he's still so invested in the Castle-Beckett relationship, the storylines, the ideas for where to go next, even the guest stars. He loves 'Castle' as much as the fans do, and it shows.
I caught up with Fillion to talk all about the jaw-dropping Season 4 premiere -- after last season's shooting and the big "I love you" cliffhanger, we certainly find our favorite will they-won't they TV couple treading new ground.
Fillion dished about women, Castle's usual distraction when things get tricky with Beckett, but also the new boss ("She's so mean!") and maybe, possibly getting Castle officially deputized to do some real policing.
Then we talked about this season's 'Ghostbusters'-inspired Halloween episode, Fillion's dream scenario for Season 4 and his personal casting choice to play Castle's dad that got him all choked up just talking about it.
Read the full article at AOL.
Okay so now I think we know the ending to 'Rise'. Kate tells Castle that once she closes her moms case she can be his, but Castle says no because now he is in the same position the Captain was in and has to try to keep her away from the case. Way to go Nathan, thanks for spoiling the one thing they said not to ;)
ReplyDeleteSo, the secret for the season could be? Kate is going to be looking into her Mom's case behind his back, but what she doesn't know is that he has some valuable information about the case.
OK, this is not a spoiler nor has anything to do with Castle's upcoming new season itself but I found it so funny and cute that I had to show you:

Seriously, if Nathan actually thinks that his idea of how the show should go is going to keep them for another season, he is insane. Castle still wants to have his fun with women, thats just horrible. And what kind of dumb ending was that, sleeping with the captain, lanie etc!!! Is he serious? They will loose fans like overnight. Cant belive he can be so ridiculous and dumb!
ReplyDeleteI agree Anonymous @ 9:27 - I got where he was coming from when he first talked about this like in season 2, but it's time to move on Nathan. Relationships grow, C&B have been together for over three years, it's realistic for them to grow closer and eventually reach that inevitable. If something like he wants happens, with the Captain or Lanie - I know I'd be pissed about it!
ReplyDeleteStana looks adorkable in nerd glasses.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part:
"Can you dance?"
"No."
"Thats okay, I'll teach yea."
@ anon 10:14 - yes, I found it and I thought you would like it so I posted. It seems they shot it the same day of the KTLA interview, judging by her hair. A busy day ;) And people were worried becasue she was not doing press lately... ;)
ReplyDeleteOkay, so Kristin Lehman's character is an art insurance agent who is also an art thief.
ReplyDelete"You know Castle's the kind of guy that when he meets somebody, that's a connection for him... That's the kind of guy he is, be they criminals, gangster rappers, mafia guys, art thieves...
Since we haven't met any thieves yet, I assume she's it. And I guess Castle digs cops more than robbers.
And that's the "secret" she's hiding from the team. Super predictable. Whatever.
Honestly, if Beckett says, "let's solve this case and then go at each other" and Castle says "nah" and then goes after Kristin Lehman's character, I'd expect Beckett to be furious. The only way I see justifying Castle's wandering eyes is if Beckett turns him down and cuts him loose.
I'm sick of Nathan's storyline pitches. We get it!! You want to be employed!! The irony (and Castle would agree that I'm using irony correctly) is that in his attempt to stay employed, the storyline may seriously frustrate fans, they may desert the show, and he'll wind up unemployed. Come on - have a little faith in the writers' creativity and the shippers' loyalty.
IThis article depressed me !!! AHH! I understand why Kate needs closure, yet what if that never comes/ takes place a long time in the future ? And i dont like where I wish there was some way that both her mothers case and and the Beckett/Castle relationship could move foward . I know that its doudtful that theyll oficially get together this season but I cringe when i read that beckett would be open to start a romantic relationship with Castle , yet it dosent happen due to her mothers cas, and Castle backing off.
ReplyDeleteAnd the whole Kristen Lehmans character thing ... im sooooooo nervous for the episode ! It could be good for beckett to be jealous yet i hope Castle dosent do anyhting stupid ! I mean i know Castle is Casle but hasnt he supposed to of changed ?
oh and what Nathan would like to see happen a drunken night with lanie/ the captian .. that would just cheapen the show and be the stupidest idea EVER!!!
Okay guys calm down! What we've learned from this is that Nathan should probably not try and get a job writing scripts, but that's alright because he won't be writing for Castle. He can pitch his drunken evening ideas all he likes, I believe we should trust Marlowe to think they're just as crazy as we think they are.
ReplyDeleteThere's something wonderful about the dance leading up to the whole relationship thing. As Stana said in an interview, swordplay is sexy. As a big X-Files nut in the day, a lot of the back and forth and the tension made it THAT much better! Why the need for instant gratification? Who's really gonna watch if it's happily ever after with them, right? I like them progressing it in a way that isn't too quick, but at least there's a change, a problem to overcome, growth, etc. My two cents at least...
ReplyDeleteWith his experience with the cancellation of Firefly, I can see why Nathan is so scared of losing his first real successful show since, but really, this "Moonlighting Curse" is a just an excuse given for weak writing.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine if Bones doesn't survive this season given the pregnancy. Just another excuse they will be able to use.
ReplyDeleteI liked the drunken night idea, but I would give it a real twist, and make it Ryan or Esposito's hand draping over him....
ReplyDeleteIn fact, that sound like a perfect scene for Ryan's bachelor party....
Tim in Rome, Ga
Nathan mentioned in comic con that his shows always get cancelled. Geez we wonder why Nathan, when you come up with such stupid story lines! He seems so clueless about why this show is even a success? Well Nathan, I will tell you why, it's because of the castle Beckett relationship, because let's face it that's the bread and butter of the show, the cases are secondary. And Nathans dumb idea about jerking fans around with his drunken night idea will result in losing fans with snap of the finger. How stupid can he be.
ReplyDeleteYou know I just watched eta as interview wi KTLA and what huge difference and tone both their interviews provided. Stana interview was so fun and she is so realistic about the relationship, and she seems to care about how the direction of the show is going and keeping fans happy.
ReplyDeleteNathan on the other hand gave such a weak and annoying interview with stupid comments about castle being a human first, so sparks fly. What kind of crap is that. And let's not forget the dumbest thing he said in the whole interview about how the season should end. If that's how they end the season, then they might as well know this will be their last season. Nathan just wants to keep his job, and he seems to think the way to do that is to drag out castle and becketts relationship. He doesn't seem to really understand what the fans want and he doiesnt trust the writers or the fans. That's really annoying, we have supported the show for the 3 years, we deserve a little respect Nathan.
He knows the Beckett and Castle relationship is the reason why people watch, he has even said so in an interview and that is why he doesn't want to mess with it. His view - if it's not broken, dont fix it.
ReplyDeleteNathan doesn't want them together, Stana wants them together and AM well he does, just not right now.
Was Nathan filliong drdunk when he gave that interview, because that was pure stupidity!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I think he kind of gave away whats going to happen now when it was under wraps. Not a smart move Nathan. So now we know that this season Beckett tells him she will be ready once her moms killer is caught and he drags it out because catching her moms killer means her dying too. So castle tries to push her away and I'm sure she notices this and thinks he doesn't want her anymore. I'm not so sure I like this storyline, I mean if the agreement is Beckett stay away from the case and she stays alive or visse versa then castle going to keep pushing her away and she will never solve it which means they will never get together.
Second, Nathan has got some really silly ideas. Seriously that season end the way he wants is disgusting. I know castle has always been this playboy maneb re person but aftere all he has been through with Beckett, one would think that he becomes a decent guy. Not knowing who you went to bed with is just plain dumb. Nathan I know you were on a soap opera, but this isn't a day time soap opera, people don't need to jump into bed with everyone they know, and switch partners like underwear, people don't need to get amnesia. If this is the kind of quality Nathan fillion likes, he should head back to soap operas
Oh for good ness sake, Nathan please go do some day time soap if those are the storylines you want. You want to turn Castle into a day time soap with no substance, creativity and love. Very stupid interview indeed. Was not expecting that from Nathan Fillion, i thought much better of him.
ReplyDeleteOk Im going to have haters for saying this, but Im going to anyway.
ReplyDeleteNathan mentioned his other shows all got cancelled. And Castle has been going strong, maybe Nathan just maybe its NOT about just YOU!!!
The show has a strong pull NOT becasue Nathan Fillion is acting but rather becasue of the dynamics of Nathan AND Stana. She is an amazing actress and does a fantastic job as Beckett. I think Nathan actaully thinks that the draw to the show is about him and thats why it doesnt matter to him weather Castle and Beckett get together. And he thinks that they can drag this relationship out becasue fans watch the show for him.
So maybe Nathan the show is still going strong is becasue of Stana and not you. Since all other shows that had Nathan in it flopped and this seems to be the only one doing well and it has Stana Katic and some other really good supporting actors and some really good writers.
And I agree about the soap opera thing, Nathan seems to like a show without substance and quality, at least thats what I get after reading his interview. He wants to cheapen relationships, treat women like meat and sleep around with people he doesnt love. Smells like Soap opera to me.
Maybe they should re-name the show Beckett Instead of Castle :) This interview makes me think the "I love you" was meaningless. Yes Castles character is a man and even when men are in love they can still recognize an attractive woman, however do they want sparks to fly with other women when they are in love? Well they damn well shouldn't and even If he wants to protect Beckett from her mothers case, the best way to do that is to get as close to her emotionally as possible so she will trust him more and may be willing to take his advice. The more he flaunts the former playboy side of himself in front of her the less she will trust him and therefore probably pull away from him.
ReplyDeleteHowever unless she ditches Josh early this season are our expectations of castle remaining single a little unrealistic? We all know Beckett really loves castle but she is with Josh regardless of if she's with him to hide from castle or not. If she breaks it off with Josh and castle still acts like a tool then I'll be very pissed off watching this season. I hope the writers move them forward. If we have another season ender with castle leaving with another woman or Beckett saying I'm done with you, I'll be done with this show!
At anon 7.39, yeah i agree...i will not accept another season finale where they are pissed with each other and spend the summer apart again...i will definitely stop watching if the season finale is anything like what Nathan said.
ReplyDeleteWell this interveiw has changed my opinion of Nathan. He sounded so glib and childish. Not everything is a joke and u dont mess with Castle and its fans like that. He needs to grow up. No wonder the guy is single if that is what he thinks u do when ur in love. Duh!!!!
ReplyDeletetotally agree with one of the comments about the I love you being meaningless. Honestly his interview has kind of dampened my spirits for the premier on monday. Seems like season 4 is going to be absolutely frustrating to watch. I hate that Nathan wants to keep having women come and go in castles life. Thats disgusting, especially after he claims he loves Beckett and wants to protect her. Hah my ass thats what he wants!
ReplyDeleteYeah thanks for ruining it for the rest of us Nathan, now we know whats the important bit Beckett says at the end that sets the tone for season 4.
ReplyDeleteAnd please please Nathan, never be a writer becasue you would suck at it. Your storyline for the season finale is by far the dumbest ive ever heard.
He DID make a good point, in that the writers try NOT to re-hash the same plot over and over. So I doubt that the season will end like anything we've seen so far. Even still, we're talking about something that is MONTHS away, and we still haven't even started the season yet anyway!
ReplyDeleteWhy stress about it? Just sit back and enjoy the ride. :-)
At anon 8.21, i think that is about the only good point he made. Everything else was trash! And the ending he suggested, god what a tool! I cant believe he thinks that will be a good plotline. Is he high?
ReplyDeleteOk the comment he made about castle being human first and if sparks fly, well you cant do much, that was extremely distasteful. I would expect this from Castle season 1, maybe 2, but not season 3 and definitely not season 4. Has he not matured and become a more respectful person?
ReplyDeleteI feel like Im going to spending a lot of time feeling sorry for Beckett this season and Im not liking that one bit. Gosh if what Nathan says is actually whats going to happen meaning women in and out of his life and relationships, then Im so over Castle. Heard Andrew Marlowe is working on a new project or show, maybe will switch to that.
Well my perception of Nathan Fillion has changed. His ideas about the show reflect his personal behaviour and I dont like how he talks about women and relationships.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the I Love You seems so meaningless at this point.
You know I think Nathan is someone who likes to get his ego stroked...thats why he says he likes it when women tell him they're going to get him. Not a nice quality Nathan.
ReplyDelete"Nathan Fillion gives good interview. It's just a fact, although I realize not a very surprising one."
ReplyDeleteUm. . .I disagree with that fact. I am greatful though that I didn't hear about his cats this time :D. I am just going to forget this interview ever existed and I suggest everyone else does the same and just move on. Hopefully next interview will be better.
So season 4 is going to be Castle flounting back to his old ways, being with women and having relationships with gorgeuos women, god forbid he be single right??? Really stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnd Becketts going to have to watch this crap before her eyes. And he is indirectly going to be pushing her away.
Seriously this is what I waited 4 months for! Very dissapointed...
Nathan Fillion succeeded in making Castle look like an ASS!!! Hated this interview.
ReplyDeleteAs a man, a husband and a father, I have to say Nathans description of Castle being a human being first and when sparks fly people cant help themselves, is shameful to hear. He makes men sound like they cant control themselves. If Castle really loves Beckett he will certainly not have an issue controlling himself even when sparks fly.
ReplyDeleteFrom nathans description, what he feels for Beckett is plain lust not love.
I have to agree with MOST of these comments. I've always sensed that Nathan likes to be the center of attention and while I'm sure he's a great guy, sometimes it's just too much. It's not all about you, Nathan but in a lot of his interviews it comes across like he thinks that it is.
ReplyDeleteEven in the media, he gets all the attention while Stana is reduced to a local newscast interview. I love them both, but they're CO-STARS, they should both be having the same attention.
It's always NATHAN...NATHAN..NATHAN. I'm really getting sick of it. I mean, he was nominated for an EWwy and not Stana?! Why?! Stana was phenomenal this past season, while Nathan was okay..it's all political and it pisses me off.
Really, this is what season 4 is about? What a waste of time. Im not interested in watching yet another season of Castle being a playboy or flirting with anything in a skirt. I thought Castle and Beckett were suppose to move forward, isnt that what the writers said!
ReplyDeleteNathan, having women tell you they ar gonna get you and you feeling great about that doesnt make you more of man. In fact it reduces you to an immature horny boy looking for some fun. A real man can say he loves a woman and can wait for however long it takes to be with her and make that relationship work. Im a guy and I think your statement about this particular topic is really awful. Castle should be way more mature y now!
ReplyDeleteNathan Fillion needs to learn how to give interviews. Im not sure if he meant exactly what he said, maybe his choice of words were wrong or something, but he needs to be more careful with what he says. It can be very damaging to the show. I dont really care about his reputation but I do about the show as a whole. His interview reflects badly on what the writers have planned this season. If what Nathan said is how the season is going to played out, Im not really going to watching it truthfully. It seems shallow.
ReplyDeleteIf Nathan is trying to get Castle to be a Jackass, its working. This plotline is going to really bad and not to mention piss off a whole lot of fans.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, Nathan actually ruined the premier for us, what an idiot.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah I so agree with the other comments, what a stupid thing to say about sparks flying. God is he a caveman and cant control himself. And that season ending he said, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND STUPID.
What a silly silly man, with such silly ideas. Ive always thought Nathan was smarter than that, guess not.
ReplyDeleteIf you just don't read the last Q&A, the interview really isn't that horrible. I think you are misunderstanding what Nathan is saying or taking it too seriously.
ReplyDeleteAs for his pitch about the drunken evening. It not going to happen, he was just saying that because Nathan doesn't want Castle and Beckett together. He thinks if they do get together the show will end.
I think that everyone that is freaking out about this interview, should just STOP. The writers of Castle and Andrew Marlowe KNOW what they are doing. How do we know that Nathan is just trying to make us all go crazy and freak out so we actually watch the show and find out what happens? I mean think about it, he joked about the show being canceled; I mean really? That's not likely. With Nathan's idea for the season finale this year, do you really think the writers are gonna go for that idea?!? As I said before, what if he is just trying to pull on our "pigtails"? I think that all of you who are saying that you think he is not the guy tou thought he was or he doesn't know what he is doing, and how he feels about the Castle/Beckett relationship, get over it!!! Andrew Marlowe knows what he's doing and so does the entire crew of Castle. I think that they know where they are headed with the Castle/Beckett relationship; Andrew Marlowe even said that the beginning of this season was gonna be frustrating, BUT it will get better. Oh and I read today, for those of you who are so worried about Josh, that he placed himself in hot water and that he and Beckett break up in the premiere. So we don't need to wrry about him; and with the art insurance lady, Nathan said that Castle connects with people quickly (I.e. Agent Shaw), and they could be criminals, FBI agents, ART THEIVES; it is said that the art lady does have a DARK past, maybe she isn't who we think she is. And like Agent Shaw, Royce, Jim Beckett, Castle's old flame or Natalie Rhodes; they all know that Castle and Beckett have a deep, deep connection. I bet the art insurance lady figures that out too. So just everybody just calm down, take a big giant chill pill and just enjoy that the season premiere is on Monday, ok? Just be excited that it's FINALLY here after 4 months.....
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Anon 9.08, Stana Katic did an excellent job last season and I see them both as equals. Though the show is called Castle, the show cant go on wihtout either one of them, so I wish Stana would get more recognition and interviews. In terms of acting capabalities, yeah Stana deserves to win some award.
ReplyDeleteIm not an american, but I can tell you that Nathan Fillion is only really famous in America. Here is Asia, people hadnt heard of him until Castle. I remember him a little from two guys, a girl and a pizza place. Apparently he has been on other shows which lasted only half or one season before it got cancelled, Firefly...never even heard of that. Stana Katic on the other hand, we know becasue of her guest roles in ER, Heroes, 24, Quantum of solace, feast of love and now FLO which is amazing. So as much as i love both of them, their popularity is the same, Nathan more around the US, Stana more aorund the world. So she should be recognized more for it. I definitely woulndt say Nathan is the star of the show, Its Nathan and Stana equally who draw in viewers.
At anon 11.27, thank you for stating that. Its the same in Europe. Stana is more famous. Love her and love the show.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes the season end Nathan said sounds so ridiculous. How could he even come up with that. He needs to start understanding what the fans want and why they even watch the show.
Nathan Fillion said on Jimmy Kimmel the other day that he barely reads. Well maybe he should read a little, then he would have a better understanding about how and why a relationship between Castle and Beckett would be amazing, not just for the shippers but just for good TV entertainment.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe while he is reading that, he can also do some reading about the moonlighting curse which he so fondly likes to use in interviews but sounds like he knows nothing of, and see why that so called curse is pure crap and is just a sorry excuse for writers and actors, in his case to drag out a show. He hsould do some research about what really brought the show down. And it wasnt the leads hooking up. So yeah some reading maybe good for him.
Girls changed a graphic...nice:-)
ReplyDeleteI understand that people are a little disappointed about this interview but..come on it's just a show and just an interview. And Nathan in just an actor, not a writer..so maybe we're overreacting.I mean i remember Nathan Fillion in Buffy,desperate's housewives and firefly; and I'm Italian so we can't say that is not famous in Europe just because we don't like this interview.I think that the show is so successfull thanks to the entire cast and thanks to Stana and Nathan. They have an amanzing chemistry! So guys trust Andrew Marlow and enjoy the new season ;)
ReplyDeleteps I'm sorry for my bad English but I'm Italian

Greetings from Spain
Anonymous 4:41 Am
ReplyDeleteI'm a girl and thanks :D
Yes I have to say that some aspects of his interview was quite bad. But fortunately for us, Nathan isnt the writer and decisions come from Andrew Marlowe.
ReplyDeleteHe really does make Castle out to be some jackass and his interview gave me the impression that the I love you doesnt really carry weight. So I guess we will have to see in the premier if he actually loves her or not. He could have just said it becasue he thought she was dying, I dont know. Though that would be horrible and I would instantly hate the show.
The end of the season that he said is so stupid, where does he get his ideas. I mean I know he wants to drag this out as much as possible because he thinks that if they get together the show is over, but at least be smart enough to come up with something realistic. He is so wrong about the show being over though, I think if anything it will only get better and grow bigger when Castle and Beckett get together. Because it will be totally fun seeing these two different types of character be in a relationchip and have that saucy banter. They would have more leverage to play with since they would know more about each other personally and that would be great.
I didnt like what he said about the sparks flying and theres nothing you can do about that. NOT TRUE! If you love someone you can not act on those sparks! He makes the Castle Beckett relationship sound cheap and insignifiant.
ReplyDeleteOk I think Nathan is a bit confused here. He said that Castle appreacites when a woman says Im attracted to you and im gonna get you. But Beckett has never been that person, in fact she has been the exact opposite, trying to deflate his huge ego, and he has been attracted to her from day 1. Maybe the old Castle was like that. I would like to think that Castle has matured and can recognize true love when he sees it and thats what he has with Beckett, and wait for the right time.
ReplyDeleteHaha...I like the comments about Nathan and soap operas. I agree, he seems like he wants Castle to be this show with no real quality or substance and no real love. He just wants to have on and off relationships and wants women flaunting themsleves at him. Thats pathetic. Yeah maybe he should go back to soap operas. There he can sleep around all he wants and then have amnesia. The comment about sparks and the end of the season was the just plain dumb.
ReplyDeleteOk, I think most of you are taking these comments a little TOO seriously.
ReplyDelete1) Nathan is a jokster: we know this and if you've watched any of his interviews, his humor can be VERY dry.
I think most of this, that's getting blown WAY out of proportion, is probably him trying to be funny. Only, it's in a WRITTEN ARTICLE, so it doesn't always come off that way. I think we've all experienced being misunderstood online at some point.
Plus, Nathan is not a writer or a producer or any one that really has a say in the direction the show takes. Sure, he has input, but at the end of the day, it's the producers/writers/creator(s) that decide where the show goes next, not the actors. So, for everyone who is freaking out about this interview, just take a deep breath and relax. You are anticipating something that will most likely NOT HAPPEN.
2) I feel I need to remind folks of this piece of fact: this is still just a TV SHOW. At the end of the day, if you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. There's enough fanfiction, videos, whatever out there that probably DOES have an ending you'll like, so you can always go that route.
THANK YOU 8.57 AM anon, you've said it all.
ReplyDeleteOMFG I just read all the comments... Jesus people, can't you take a JOKE? Do you even understand jokes in Castle? Have you never seen a Fillion interview before?
ReplyDeleteAnd all those comments about who's more famous where and name calling... I'm sorry to say it, but I've never read such a crapload of stupidity at once and have problems with digesting.. and I'm talking about comments here, not the interview, in case there's any doubt
Well, after the season 3 Finale I was terrified because Stana left nearly immediately to shoot a movie. I feared the first stage of a Moonlighting Curse was rearing it head. (The main actors start exploring other projects i.e. Movie career) An interview with Stana by an ABC affiliate for the season finale assuaged those fears, coupled with the fact that she is a Caskett shipper.
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought that I’d be worried that Nathan Fillion would be the one to scuttle the show.(by this I mean he is the one who could bring about a moonlighting scenario) If the plot point with respect to Castle and Beckett was accurate I’d hate to imagine what Marlowe is going to do to him. (FYI: Marlowe isn’t a big fan of spoilers) Seriously, I wonder if Nathan watches the show, if he did he might realize that Castle has grown up so the sparks thing doesn't quite fit.
Now those plot points Nathan’s 40 years old, and I’m supposed to believe wisdom comes with age? Some of them are salvageable, drunken mistakes are good stories but more funny with secondary characters like Esposito, Ryan and Lanie. Come on, Esposito wakes up with a girl after the bachelor party that isn’t Lanie, that’s a better story because it affects Castle and Beckett directly but doesn’t harm their relationship with each other. Castle defends it Beckett demonizes it, voila tension and a fight without screwing up the core of their relationship.
Before this turns into an essay (if it hasn’t already) I’ll say this I trust the writers not to screw up and give us a moonlighting-esqe fiasco, Marlowe and Bowman know how to give us a high quality show. So I’m hoping they either ignore Nathan’s Soapy plot lines or He grows up; however the former is far more likely than the latter with Mr. Fillion.
The most depressing part of this interview is that he gave away so much!! So note to myself: never listen to/read Nathan Fillion's interviews in the future, he just can't keep his mouth shut.
ReplyDeleteI also believe the rest was mainly jokes. Still, contrary to Anon 5:57, I understand the comments here because these jokes were simply not funny. Just annoying..
Jesus Christ, people in Castle fandom are mad or what
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm a newbie, just finished all 3 seasons couple days ago and wanted to find out what's on the plate for the next season. Googled "castle spoilers" and here I am to my dismay. And I think I'll never try to touch Castle fandom again with a 6feet pole. omg such a lighthearted show, such a nice cast and this? I'll just stick to TV from now on
Seems Nathan Fillion really is a Geek God and not mush else. He only talks sense about geeky things, geeky shows, geeky books and videogames. He gets baffled by the real world and jokes his way out of it. Still, noreason to be mean people. Light up for Gods sake
ReplyDeleteSome people are complaining that he gave away too much. Dont bloody read interviews where there is likely spoilers if you don't want it to be spoiled!
ReplyDeleteOK, this Stana vs. Nathan argument is not only mean and pointless, but just plain stupid. I love them both, may be even Stana a bit more (identify with her more), but I have to say that so called Stanatics are not a very pleasant crowd as far as I've seen. You like Stana? Fine. Why should you always pick on Nathan for all real and imaginary faults. It's not like if everybody suddenly realises "what a dick he is" Stana's gonna gain some kind of advantage or anything. And it's not like he's going around press people saying "Do not interview Stana, interview me!" That's just stupid. He really IS more famous than Stana and many people REALLY are interested in him, imagine that. That's coming from me, who knew neither Nathan, nor Stana till last year. I discover Castle and suddenly it turns out that my mom was a fan since his soap-opera days and my bro has a mancrush on him since Slither and follows him on twitter. I mean Nathan is no superstar, but he's definitely super famous in certain circles and has been for years. If you never been around those circles you had small chance to know him, but if you were in - he's larger than life there. This is just fact, no picking sides. Stana is just now getting some recognition and she may very well become a big star, but not just yet ok? Press people obviously love Nathan and have been for years, he's kind of a legend anyway. So they use this opportunity of him being on a mainstream show to interview him on different (not always Castle) topics with fannish enthusiasm and brag about later. So what? Where does it hurt the show and why does it make Nathan a bad guy? I'm not even sure Stana doesn't avoid interviews on purpose, she just might not like doing it. And where in this interview Nathan was "all about himself" besides the fact that it's HIS interview and questions were addressed to HIM? What, he should've started every sentence with "Stana thinks..", "I am blessed to work with Stana" etc? So what that he's not a shipper? Frankly, I find his "moonlighting" comments no more shallow than Stana's "let's make babies", both are just glib opposites of each other and are clearly some kind of a marketing strategy. You just like Stana's shipping stance better (as I think it was intended to endear her to public from the start) so Nathan becomes "dumb, shallow, grow up!, shut up! barely reading idiot". All these are just from the comments here, and I hope you realise that "barely reading" comment on Kimmel was a joke.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, I'm kind of sick of our fandom at the moment. I love Stana but I think were Stana aware of what her fans are saying about Nathan she'd be blushing and wishing to disappear. I haven't watched Firefly yet but Browncoat people in Castle fandom seem much more sane. They just ignore everything that is not Nathan Fillion and live happily in their little fandom world not making any personal attacks on other cast members to validate their obsession. OK, may be they are "full of themselves" and deem it unthinkable that somebody might not like their Captain, but at least they behave mostly classy. May be they just "grew up already".
People come here to post a comment. What's with the people who judge other's opinions?
ReplyDeleteYou chill out. You don't like Castle fandom, you cannot respect other's opinion: then stay out of here.
Jeez, some people always think they are entitled to teach anybody else what to think, what to write and what to say.
Commenting on comments instead of the interview in subjects is delirious.
Geeze guys why so serious? I actually thought it was a really informative interview. I might not agree with all of the semantics, but word choice is word choice and we can't change that. I just can't wait for the premiere on Monday! SO LET'S STOP BICKERING AND GET FREAKING PUMPED FOR THE PREMIERE!!!!!!! YAY

ReplyDeleteRight, name-calling and hating on people is now an honest to God opinion and commenting on this is delirious, stay out of our fandom. Yeah, I'm judging all right? I'm judging
Ok I don't know what the hell brown coats are and what stanatics are but imguessing it's some Nathan and Stana fan site. Well whatever, just to clarify I'm neither since there seems to be some attacking going on. Nathans fans attacking Stana and vice versa. Don't be immature k. They are both great and they must be wondering whats wrong with their fans if they are reading this.
ReplyDeleteI read the point of discussion here and my comment is that I thought Nathan gave away a bit about the finale, thought they weren't supposed to do that. As for his plot lines, yes very ridiculous, so I'm just very very happy he isn't a writer, because his writing would kill the show.
They are just actors, some folks will like them and some folks won't. Let's respect those who don't because we are all entitled to our own opinions. I'm pretty sure Nathan and Stana don't care either, so why are you guys so invested. Again just a show.
Personally I like Stana s interviews more simply because she is bubbly person, and this is not me saying that I don't like Nathan. So don't attack me you Nathan fans.
As for who is more famous, honestly I think they are both at the same level. I know of people who have never heard of Nathan though he has been acting for ages. Granted me and my friends are in our 50s...so maybe his Shows are more for the younger generation. And just to clarify Its not that I like Stana because she is a shipper and dislike Nathan because he isn't. I like them both.
To Nathan fans, it's ok for people not to like him, you don't need to defend him, he is a grown up and these things are normal in this industry, he has been dealing with it from before some of you were even born.
To Stana fans, same thing, I know you were venting out your frustrations that Stana doesn't get enough recognition, which I agree to as well but don't get too emotional about it. She will be recognized soon enough.
And please don't hate the actors here, Nathan and Stana because of things their fans have said, remember it's not them saying it or their opinions, they are probably shaking their heads and giggling about it somewhere.
I didn't find the interview insightful but who cares the show is already starting so let's all forget this little blog entry.
Just be glad the the 4 month wait is soon coming to an end and we will castle and Beckett together again.
Seriously, to all those people saying that he gave too much away in the interview...please don't read a spoiler page then moan about it! It's crazy.
ReplyDeleteAnd for all those slamming Nathan for saying some completely outrageous things...read the views of the people on TV Line in a recent interview. That's more like the response I'd have expected - not this venomous spite that seems to be appearing on what once was a lovely site.
And Anon 8.03 - where's YOUR respect for other people's opinions? Anon 7.30 made some very valid comments and wasn't being horrible to anyone, in fact they were asking for the rows to stop so maybe take a little time to re-read their post and not be so rude.
Anon 3.45 - I'm so sorry that as a newbie you came here and found this unfortunate thread - it's not usually this venomous on here but once the show starts, hopefully people will be nicer again - put it down to Castle deprivation and do, please, return! Castle fans are good to have around :)
