‘CASTLE’: THREE TEASES FROM EP ANDREW MARLOWE!
One of my favorite things about Spoiler Room is that I get a chance to
preview for you a lot of the fun things to come here on InsideTV, and
here’s yet another: Yesterday, I hopped on the phone with Castle EP
Andrew Marlowe, who talked about the second half of the season. And
while you can expect a full report on our chat over the next few days
(good stuff!), here are three bits I’ve pulled to entice you for the
time being!
+ Another kiss coming?
As one of you pointed out in an e-mail to me, last January, fans were
treated to a kiss between Castle and Beckett. So, I posed the factoid to
the ever-coy Marlowe, while shamelessly fishing to see if there was
something coming up to be equally excited about. “I think we can be
treated to something, if not at that level, close to that level — in
terms of movement and complication,” he teases.
+ Another high-stakes two-parter!
One of my favorite episodes of Castle last season was the two-part dirty bomb episode that guest-starred Heroes alum Adrian Pasdar. This season, Jennifer Beals will guest in another two-parter as a CIA agent (with ties to Castle!)
who will allow the writers to “do storytelling on a grand scale.” “We
have some folks here who spent some time in features and we want to try
to bring that movie mentality to TV as best we can,” he says. “I think
it will be as explosive as last season. Certainly, I’ll say, we were
dealing with a dirty bomb so explosive is a good word for last season.
This one will be equally high stakes.”
+ Finale planning in progress
Last season’s Castle finale was, for yours truly, the best
episode of the series. So how does one top that? Simple: You don’t. “You
try to do something different,” clarifies Marlowe. “If you’re
doing the same thing, only better, it still gets a little bit familiar.
We always like to keep the audience a little bit on their toes, so we’re
conceiving the last couple of episodes — what can we do that’s really
compelling in a way we haven’t explored on the show yet?”

Easy Andrew, GET caskett together in the finalie! It seems about right. Season 1 finalie Beckett Moms murder. Season 2 finalie about caskett relationship. Season 3 becketts mom's murder. So it's suppose to be about the caskett relationship now. Not only is it their turn to have it be about the relationship. Truly think about why AM put the secrets in this season. He could have done it in seasons 2 or 3 if he wanted. But he picked season 4. And this whole season has been focused on caskets relationship and them trying to get ready to be in a true relationship. A relationship I think might start in the finalie. Just saying that's my 2 cents:)
ReplyDelete"We always like to keep the audience a little bit on their toes, so we’re conceiving the last couple of episodes — what can we do that’s really compelling in a way we haven’t explored on the show yet?”
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...let me think...what could be done that hasn't been done before...something that we haven't seen that we'd really like...something that's really compelling and gets fans excited...gosh, what could that be...where are all the ideas when you need them...hmmmm...what to do...what to do...(cue Jeopardy music)...
:) I really effing love Andrew Marlowe.
omg,omg..they might kiss.at this point i dont give a hoot..this wtwt thing has gotten old..as far as im concerned they are great friends an crime fighting partens in crime solving..lets end this so called relationship an get on with crime solving..if anything happened between them know it would be ending a friendship..i doubt ill be back nest year.
ReplyDeleteTease #1) About the kiss... If they kiss for real, and not in the 40's episode. I think it's going to be a great kiss....but then followed by Kate's rational mind/wall reminding her that she's working with him and doesn't want to blew what they have (whatever it is)
ReplyDeleteTease #2) Uhm, not enought info for me to get excited about it. Spoilers I already know about got me more excited than this one. All I wanna know if when Castle is going to start his sentense by saying " You know I was thinking..." to Beckett. Could it be in the two-part? ;)
Tease #3) My guess is that once he finds out about Kate's secret, there will be a change in their relationship. Will they be together? Probably not. And when Kate will find out about Castle, she will be FURIOUS. My guess is , instead of seeing them apart AGAIN, like all the other seasons, somehow they will find a way to TALK about their problems/feelings and work things out. I'm hoping to see them leave town together to follow a lead on her mom's murder case. The audience not REALLY knowing IF they are together (as a couple)or not.... ;)

“I think we can be treated to something, if not at that level, close to that level..." - means to me: they're not going to kiss for real. I'm a bit dissapointed - it's just going to be more "movement and complication". It brings a picture to my mind of Beckett and Castle caught in a spider's net of complication, without being able to move anywhere...
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, i still trust Marlowe somehow, but as the head of a show like that - would you really take the risk of getting it cancelled because of letting the leads and fans have their happy end?
A great turn (although a hurtful one for shippers) would be to end the season with them being a couple, all happy together, with the last scene showing Castle and something that reminds him of his secret (maybe a call from the guy again who threatened him last time?). It would be a bitter sweet finale, with many more twists to come.
Let's wait and see...
anon@11.57 ^^^ AM said in another spoiler that Castle's secret will come to light before the season ends and that Beckett's may come out even earlier :)
ReplyDeleteThe Kiss: i recon it will be in Castles imagination of the 1940's so not real, but honestly i dont really care as long as i see them kiss, but there better be a REAL kiss coming soon tho coz both of them have been a tease so far....
The two parter: 'had some folkes down here spend some time in features' ??? so they want to make it movie quality drama/action sorta thing. talking about movies i heard that Jennifer Beals' character is called Sofia *wink**cough* *For Lovers Only* :)
Season Finale: as for the finale if their secrets come out before there is a good chance that they might get together in the finale but knowing AM they will probably keep up somehow guessing about it over the 4MONTHBREAK :0 and then they will get together early season 5
3 DAYS TO GO!!!! WEDDING HERE WE COMEE

The kiss: I think it could be from Beckett's imagination. It seems season 4 has all been about things from her perspective so the audience can understand her better.
ReplyDeleteI also think the kiss will be in the 1940's episode, it's perfect. They can kiss but still it won't be weird cause it isn't really Castle and Beckett, they're two different people. I don't care, I just wanna see them kiss and I think that it's awesome that they are different people in an episode, great to see another side of Stana and Nathan :) Really excited about this episode.
ReplyDeleteI hope that Castle can be the hero who saves beckett from her mean boyfriend :) Would like to see that, it's like they changed places.
we could be twins anon@4.16 ^^^^^ thats exactly what i was thinking, i dont care i just wanna see them kiss!! hahah XD
ReplyDeleteseeing as it is in Castle's imagination how cute would it be if he told the 1940s Beckett/gangster girlfriend that he was in love with her :) cant wait for 'the blue butterfly'!!! and im definitely going to crack up in the middle of the interrogation scene with Beckett and Espo ;)
Tease 1- Im a little dissapointed, that he said we will get something close to that, meaning its not a real kiss. I was hoping that it would move forward not backwards. Last seasons kiss was brought up in the finale, this seasons kiss will only be an imagination, so it cant be brought up, nothing to talk about, its like 2 steps back.
ReplyDeleteI know some poeple are still happy theres a kiss, but I manintain my opinion, I would rather not have a fake kiss. The next time they kiss, it should be something real and should mean somehting. Something the cant sweep under the carpet.
Before anyone gets too down or discouraged by any of Marlowe's teasers that don't add up to what you may want to see (i.e. a kiss), just remember that he has to play it all close to the vest. He really can't go chatting about major things to come in too much detail. All he can do is tease and hint. So, try to keep that in mind. :)
ReplyDeleteI still think there will be a kiss, anyway. I'm also curious what will happen to bring about the movement and complication between Beckett and Castle.
Also, @ Anonymous 4:40, I don't think a kiss between 1940s Beckett and Castle is what Marlowe is referring to as "something close to the level of last season's kiss." I mean, I'm hoping to see that 1940s kiss, too, don't get me wrong. But that can't be what he's referring to bc, whatever it is, Marlowe said it will lend itself to movement and complication in the Caskett situation.
An imaginary kiss wouldn't lead to either movement or complication. At least, I don't see how it could, anyway. So, I think it's something very real to which he's alluding here.
Whatever happens, I'm very excited about the remainder of this season. I completely trust Marlowe and am confident he is going to leave us breathless just like he has every other season. :)
THREE MORE DAYS!!!
You know as much as I like to say "In AWM we trust", I really haven't seen much movement in the Caskett relationship and we are half-way into the season. Yes there has been growth on Beckett's part, but that's character development, not relationship development. I'm not actually gunning for a kiss, but geez, not even a comforting/consoling hug? there were so many opportunities (Rise, Cops & Robbers, Kill Shot). It's like the writers write most of the episode and the Platonic Police write the last 10 minutes.
ReplyDeleteWriters: "INT. DR. BURKE'S OFFICE CORRIDOR - DAY: Beckett, walking out of her therapist's office. Castle burst in from the front door, out of breath, holding his phone to his ear. Beckett stares at him for a moment in concern, then her eyes widen in horror as she reaches into her back pocket and pulls out her phone. Close-up of the phone reveals a picture of Castle with an on-going timer: 'Connected: 54:36'.
BECKETT
(whispers) Butt-dialed.
They share a meaningful glance, both smiling, run to each other."
Platonic Police: "They meet in the middle and hi-five each other, then walk away in opposite directions.
CUT TO BLACK."
Yea, that's pretty much what the season has been like for shippers. But you know who does trust in AWM? the cast and crew. Gotta give props to the guy for trying to keep the boat afloat this long and the paychecks coming in for his team. If he gives in to the relationship this soon, there are risks to the shows success. Not because of some "Moonlighting Curse", but because they've made the Caskett relationship bigger than the crime stories they tell. This show has become a love story with some crime sprinkled in rather than being a police procedural with some character drama sprinkled in. So having the two resolve the UST? pretty risky move for the head writer and network execs that have a big say in the storyline. That's why I highly doubt those two will be in a relationship anytime soon. Why give up the carrot on a stick as long as it's bringing this many people in. The only time you will see any movement in the relationship are near the end of the season, so they can keep people interested during the finale cliffhangers to tune in next season. As a fellow writer, I would say AWM is my hero! As a shipper... *shakes fist* You're using me Marlowe, using me!
Ok i would like to see a kiss, but a REAL one. Enough with these fake kisses nonsence. I dont know, Im trying ot trust AM but yeah from his interview it seems like it will be step back from last seasons kiss. And more complications?Arent there enough complications for these 2 as it is?
ReplyDeleteAt anon 5.33, good analysis, though I disagree on one point. I think that becasue the show has become a love story with crime sprinkled in, there should be more forward movement in the caskett relationship. Becasue that has sort of taken centre stage. I think if viewers are satisfied with the relationship progress, they would spend time also focusing on the case aspect.
And I definitely see the show getting better once they get together. The relationship journey doesnt end when they get together, it begins. And with these 2, it will be so much fun to watch.
90% of people watch partly becasue of Caskett, i think. And im pretty sure once we shippers get our leads together, we are going to be just as tuned as as we have been, patiently waiting. We are not going to abandon the show, becasue UST might be resolved. We want to see how these 2 manouver their love story. And like you said, this isnt a show about UST/lust/fun in the sheets kind of thing. This is a love story, one us shippers are really rooting for, dying to see unfold on every aspect, not just them getting together, but way beyond that.
Anyway just my thoughts...cant wait for the next episode.
@Anon 5:33, hahahahahaha! I want to see that scene so bad! butt dialed, LOL! And yea, I don't trust AWM anymore. Holding off the two this long, without ANY movement is looking really unrealistic and uninteresting at this point. The one step forward, one step back dance and then cut to the requisite new season "Reset" is getting really old. And then the rest of season 5 will be another platonic dance until the season cliffhanger. Rinse. Repeat.
ReplyDeleteAt anon 5.33, thats so funny, but yeah I feel that way sometimes, they come so close and they dont seize the moment or opportunity. I for one was highly dissapointed when we didnt even get a hug out of Rise or Cops and Robbers Or Killshot. These were all high stakes epiosdes that dealt with thier emotions, a ahug would have been perfect. Partners hug! Thats normal. What more partners in love with each other. It just didnt sit well with me. I hope the 2nd half of this season moves considerably faster than what we have got so far. Dont get me wrong I love this show, but their dance...getting boring.
ReplyDeleteThe last sneak peek that came out about "numbers" got the fandom crazy. Heres why, because its been so long since the ILY from Castle and any movement that is significant. Now I dont know where this conversation will lead but I will be dissapointed if its a just a random one off comment.
At Anon 5.59, I totally agree, as a shipper myself, I am waiting for when they get together and see how that relationshoip progresses. We've seen the journey of them trying to get there. Now I wnat them to get there and start another journey, and I will tuned in every week for that.
I really do enjoy the show but I have grown tired of the constant one step forward and two steps back. It has been the same for four seasons. The buildup, the hints and the teases of how much they are into each other and then wham! something occurs to push them apart at the end and then the season and everything begins again. The ratings have steadily dropped this season. I think the fans have become tired of this same old same old. Right now the ratings show that it could go either way for renewal. Move on already and move the show and the relationship forward and quit playing the same broken record over and over again.
ReplyDeleteAt anon 7.10, my thoughts exactly.
ReplyDeleteYeah I noticed the ratings dropping too, I hate to think that people are not tuning in as much now becasue i love this show, but I also cant blame them completely. I am getting tired of their dance too...it needs to pick up the pace. Is there even a season 5, i sure hope so, but like you said it could go both ways. I know of 3 people who have stopped watching because of lack of continuity and progress. Rise was awesome but then after that they didnt find much progress.
On the kiss part, well I wouldnt mind one for the noir episode, but I will be seriously upset if its the only one this season. I will feel chetaed, along with many others. They kissed last season and it was undercover, so they need to kiss this season and it has to mean something, something they cant keep ignoring. And yes bringing up a kiss in the finale and arguing about it wouldnt suffice as thats been done.
i know Bones is a completely different show but i used to love Bones and then towards the end of season 5 and through 6 i tuned out because it kinda got a little boring. but now that they r together im watching again. My point is THERE IS NO WAY IN THE UNIVERSE THAT CASTLE GOES DOWN WHEN CASKETT GET TOGETHER. and the universe is very powerful!
ReplyDeleteim soo excited for them to take that step and then there is still heaps or story telling once they r together like AM says! i cant wait! XD I trust andrew because he has delivered a fantastic season so far. and when you think about at the beginning of last season the relationship didnt move much at all and now everyone is demanding for something major to happen every episode. dont get me wrong im a HUGE HUGE shipper and i know it IS a YEAR later but i just think we should relax and appreciate it like we used to. we all know they are the inevitable couple so all we can to is keep watching and let it all unfold the was Am has it planned coz im sure we will be more than happy when they are finally there!
Cry me a river!
ReplyDeleteWhat's tiresome is the same complaints. There's been progression and not all of us are tired. Perhaps people need to stop reading spoilers because they clearly don't get how they work.
Do you REALLY expect for Marlowe to tell us EXACTLY what's going to happen?
Also, Castle's ratings are better this season than last overall. Ratings are affected by numerous things, not necessarily the quality of the show. There's baseball, football, lead-ins, and holidays to consider.
I just wish people would turn the channel. Like seriously. Every show that has a will they/won't they follow a formula. The leads are NOT going to just jump in bed.
I am not seeing the one step forward, two steps back. Each season has progressed the ship.
You know what.
Nevermind.
I give up. People can continue to blame their own lack of patience and not see what's truly happening with the story.
All people on this site seem to care about is cheesy fan fic stuff happening with the leads that do NOT make sense in light of AM's story being told.
When will they dance? Hold hands? Have sex? Discuss their feelings?
Do any of you sit up and discuss your feelings openly with your loved ones all day, every day? Then why expect it to happen with people who are still finding their way together?
Most people generally show how they feel more often than discuss how they feel. Some things are a given in a relationship with the verbal expressions of love done every now and then.
I love my family and tell them I love them occasionally, but sometimes just being together and enjoying each other's company is an expression of love, too.
I guess what i'm trying to say is Castle & Beckett don't always have to have a HUGE moment. What AM is doing is giving us the little things that matter and they're adding up to reveal something HUGE.
I admit I love the way he tells his story.
We all have a right to our opinions, but I get tired of seeing these posters always crying foul when Marlowe doesn't come out and tell EXACTLY what's going to happen, then people predict what is GOING to happen and then when the episode airs NOTHING they predict actually happens.
I am so glad to say i'm glad these people do not write for Castle. I don't know where some of the things people expect to happen come from.
Turn the channel if you can't wait any longe because here's a prediction i'm pretty positive of: CASKETT WON'T BE A COUPLE IN THE NEXT EPISODE!
And guess what?
That's okay with me and plenty of others. So for those of you who know people who've stopped watching.... I got 5 of my coworkers addicted to the show and their spouses are now fans, too.
It is not ALL about Caskett for others. Castle is a great show. Period. Caskett makes it even better. So what if an episodes goes by that doesn't show Caskett batting eyes at each other holding hands, flirting, or having sex.
Go watch a soap opera if you only want to watch them discuss their feelings and make out. There's plenty of those couples on Days, One Life, Bold, Y&R.
Geez!
Do you really think Marlowe's going to come right out and say Caskett are going to kiss? Why would I tune in if I already know what's going to happen? Spoilers are vague for a reason.
Grrrr.
Anyhoo....
Loved this article. Marlowe is always a pleasure to read about.
You can say how you feel all day everyday, but if your actions aren't matching the words, it rings false.
Anon8:35 can we be friends because I agree. Some castle fans complain about everything. I mean we hear there is a woman in castle's life he's an ass. I mean I see people saying becketts a bitch for not sharing her feelings, and that she was stringing castle along on the swingset. I mean why dont those people show her how it's done if they could say I love u to the person they r in love with after ur captian dies, u find out he lied to u, and ur mothers killers killed him and tried to kill you, I mean seriously. Why do they assume they r going to get together in the next ep idk? But AM told you it's not going to happen like that, that he is trying to tell a story about caskett going into a relationship. I mean he already promised us they get together, it's just a matter of WHEN. And for the people who just thinks he is stringing us along, I ask u why would he make them have secrets this season. I mean the secrets will get revealed. Why do u think we will have caskett apart, or that they r never going to get together? These secrets being revealed will make caskett probably start a relationship. Whatever if some of u don't want to watch, don't. But AM already warned you before season 4 started that the first half of the season would be frustrating for fans. Now were in the second half of the season. Where guess what? All of the cast and AM said we will get great moments. So once again u have ur opinions which I respect, so stay or go
ReplyDeleteHere we go again....
ReplyDeletePeople already knowing what's going to happen and making sure everyone us aware of how disappointed they are in an episode that has yet to air and how NO progression at all is being done this season.
It's like i'm watching a different show.
No progression...
Beckett envisioning them being married without asking for a divorce. Wait a minute. I think that's progression.
Caskett discussing their sex lives and Beckett's engaging happily. Wait a minute. That's progression.
Castle and Beckett not taking a significant other or a date to the wedding when they obviously can since neither of them deserve each othet according to some. Wait. That smells like progression to me and an opportunity for them to end up together at the wedding, but wait. They won't hold hands. Dance. Or kiss. So some know already. So the entire episode sucks automatically, nevermind there's other characters and a case that could be entertaining. But who cares? It's not Caskett.
Character growth from the character that's been keeping the other at arm's length is, guess what? Progression for the relationship, but since they aren't kissing, hugging, dancing, holding hands, and having mad passionate sex, there's Absolutely NO progression at all.
Why would they be so physical all the time when the two of them are not a couple yet? Partners hug. Sure they do, but these two are more than partners and that hug could lead to so much more in which they are not ready to address just yet.
They know it's going to happen soon.... love that they have the patience some of you don't. I find it admirable that Beckett's trying to heal for a relationship with Castle and he's waiting for her.
In the meantime, I am still getting that amazing banter between the two and both of them sobering up enough to make their relationship have substance and not some instant gratification.
I will continue to enjoy this show and stand up for the writing, which is amazing... and not just the Caskett moments.
By the way. Totally agree with those who say a HUGE moment doesn't have to take place in every episode for there to be progression. Sometimes the small things are huge for a relationship.
Btw, the finale is meant to have HUGE moments, so uh, yeah... don't get why anyone wouldn't expect there to be revelations and something about Castle's secret and their feelings to be put out there then. I expect it in the finale or penultimate, not in episode 11 or 12 or 13... I think you get my point.
I need to leave this site. Not as enjoyable as it used to be because every spoiler turns into let's bash AM and threaten to stop watching or complain about things get boring.
It's nauseating.
At anon 9.04, I agree, there is progression and Im loving it. Maybe some fans are just hoping for more. Thats all.
ReplyDeleteIm not having any expectations for this next episode simply because i have no idea whast going to happen. Looks fun though!
Im not defeding the complainers but I dont think they eactually meant they wnat caskett togther in the next episode, or the next few. Im sure they know that isnt happening. I think they just meant that their secrets shouldnt be somehting that comes out in the finale and possibly tear them apart again. My guess it will probably rear its ugly face in the 18th or 19th epsiode b i may be wrong. But I too hope it isnt in the finale. I love AM and his writing but if he does go down the same path and have them spend another summer apart, I wont lie, I will be hugely dissapointed. So i hope that doesnt happen. AM is creative, i believe he will think of something else.
No offense to the last few posters, but I completely disagree with your definition of progress. While the characters may have matured individually, there is very little progress in their relationship. I don't think there has to be necessarily a kiss or a hug or anything physical, but there should still be forward movement. Sure those HUGE shipper moments should happen near the season finale, but to have no relationship progress at all 10 episodes in? gimme a break!
ReplyDeleteAnd to say those little shipper moments equal progress. Not really, because the way Castle reacts to those (and this maybe a conscious move on Nathan Fillion's part, whereas Stana has upped her eyesex;) is with complete obliviousness to Beckett's underlying meaning. Beckett's in love and Castle is in the Friendzone. And I'm not saying Beckett's secret should be revealed for this to change, but at some point Castle should start suspecting that she has feelings for him. Eye of the Beholder was a good example. When they were fighting about the kiss, AFTER she was non-committal about him dating Serena, he could have pointed out the she sounded jealous or been secretly amused about her reaction. Cops & Robbers did this really well when Castle was amazed at the way Beckett looked at him in the bank, but back at the loft, Castle goes back to the Friendzone. There was some opportunity there for Castle to dig a little bit about her reaction or even just acknowledge it.
So this one sided relationship is fine the first few episodes into the season, but at this point I feel the spark is somewhat gone. Even the Caskett relationship the last few seasons had more sizzle than now.
I partially agree with Anon @10:39 I think what we are seeing are some lopsided reactions from Nathan vs Stana. Stana actually had a discussion with the producers about how she can emote more feelings for Castle this season: "But I’ve also looked for private moments, as an actor, where Castle might not be looking but she can at least show [her feelings]."
ReplyDeleteAnd I think in the past few seasons Nathan was also doing this too, balancing cute/funny/flirty moments with serious/dramatic/pining moments, like the LA hotel room or reaction shots to Josh or ALL of Rise. This season, however, Castle has only been the comic relief. I think this may change once Beckett's secret comes out, but that will be near the end of the season. Also, I don't think it's AM's doing that there is a less chemistry. I think Nathan just likes comedy more than the serious stuff and he certainly would never go to the studio execs with the request to find ways for Castle to show his love for Beckett. As he has made it clear in dozens of interviews, he doesn't want the two to get together because otherwise "the show is over" (his words, not mine).
So I think the potential to move the relationship forward has been there in every episode this season, but because Castle is not acknowledging it (or playing dumb), it doesn't really come across as romantic, like it did in seasons past.
Lets be honest here, Castle and Beckett will not get together, they have already spent three season finales apart. I am guessing this time it will be different, secrets will spill before the season finale. They will discuss it and come to conclusion it was in best interest they kept secrets maybe agree they have feelings for each other(big maybe) and curtains this season. While we(castle fans) feel it is big step in their relationship, and are eagerly wait for the next season. Actually it is not, they will be still working together, castle being all flirty/cute and Beckett less so(next season) but nothing more. Then differences will come to surface and they will split at the end of next season(on and off cycle will ensue).
ReplyDeleteI really hope writers surprise me(castle fan), but it is unlikely.
Have you guys considered Nathan's playing it way for the storyline? I totally get why he's not reacting like seasons past. Caskett are in a different place than they were in seasons 1-3. There's a knowledge there that neither is discussing because of what took place during the scene in Rise on the swing set. Castle isn't playing dumb or oblivious. He's giving Beckett the time and space she asked for to deal with her issues, but what Beckett originally set out to do has changed since the end scene in Kill Shot, and now we need to see it play out where Castle begins to acknowledge the changes in her.
ReplyDeleteIt's no longer about her mother's case, well at least she's trying to define her life by something else and we're moving into the second half where in Cuffed we saw Beckett was dead serious about a next time. No teasing of cajoling. It's going to happen.
How is that not progression with the relationship? So just because Beckett's breaking her wall down, it's ONLY about individual growth? Seriously? There's two people in this relationship and what affects one can have an affect on the other. That is what we're seeing with Beckett's progression. It's opening her up and Castle will begin to notice (and has already questioned what she remembers about the day she was shot).
Castle has walls, too, but he's not as closed off emotionally as Beckett. This season he's pulled back to allow her the time she needs to open up emotionally to let him in. By doing this he's showing how much he loves her, ergo, progresses the ship when they are both able to be on the same page emotionally.
Love isn't just about the physical aspects of a relationship, but that's all some of you care about? What more do you want from them that we aren't getting? Your answer pretty much leaves nothing worth waiting for because you've already have Caskett in bed, married, amd expecting a baby. End the show. Once we do get it, you'll complain about that as well. You know who you are.
So Castle didn't come back at Beckett in Eye over Serena. It doesn't take a genius to know she was jealous as hell. The fact that Castle wanted to strangle Beckett was his frustration with her coming to light and that he was aware of Beckett's issues with Serena and him being together. He has his mother trying to hook him up with other women. Has a beautiful and sexy woman coming on to him and yet he simply wasn't interested in her and went on a faux date with Beckett. Nuff said.
These two know there's something there, but they just aren't ready to jump right in at this stage and I totally get it. So they're hiding behind their friendship and partnership to just be together until it happens.
There's also Castle's secret to contend with. He could be pulling back out of guilt. I wouldn't be shocked at all if we see this later in the season. Friend zone. They are friends. Partners. So much more. So when I read this I roll my eyes. If you think they're only friends, you've missed some episodes.
It's like some expect them to be fawning and drooling all over each other all the time. This is a procedural. Beckett's a cop. She has a job to do. So therefore she and Castle can't be making eye sex the entire episode. We've gotten Caskett moments in every episode thus far. Even when they aren't together.
Nevermind.
I enjoy the show. The pacing is fine with me. The storytelling amazing.
I'm through discussing this. I'm still waiting for the proof that there's been NO progression this season. Really?!
I'll do anything you want, including nothing. Remember those words from Knockdowm? That's love.
To be continued...
I wish some gave Castle more credit. He's not blind to Beckett's feelings for him. Why do you think he called her out in Knockout? But he wants more from her and the past couple of episodes have shown his frustrations and Beckett's responded by going to Dr. Burke and finally trying to move on with her life without her mom's case defining it and then letting Castle know she wants a next time with him.
ReplyDeleteSounds like progression in the ship to me. I wasn't aware they were in this relationship by themselves. Sarcasm. In any relationship there's times when we make mistakes and we try to be better and do better for the person we love so we don't continue to hurt them. Your personal growth is helping your relationship.
And about Castle being dumb or oblivious...
Nathan's doing it on purpose because he doesn't want Caskett? Huh?! Nathan's going to want it when it's written that way because that's what he's paid to do. The storytelling is totally directing Castle's reactions and nonreactions, but apparently some don't seem to follow the plot. Only the eye sex and the lack of hugs, kisses, and sex.
I forget that some fans are teenagers. Nowadays people hook up the same day they meet and wouldn't know how to love someone without jumping each other's bones.
So glad Caskett have a mature relationship where they can control their libidos and let their hearts find their way to each other. When they finally do become physical, it'll mean so much more because their hearts are involved.
Is there anyone out there who wants to actually discuss the show instead of being scientists and measuring the time in which Caskett will hook up?
At anon 12.30, I do agree with you on most points. Though I do feel sometimes, that its a little draggy. And no im not a teenager, more like 32...hehe...
ReplyDeleteI think so far AM has done a great job, but to me Rise was still the best this season, im ok with the pace, but I do feel something big needs to happen this season, and I too hope that the finale isnt another one where Beckett or Castle argue, say their done and walk away. Its too cliched and been done (3 season finales), so yeah Im hoping for something else, somehting where they are mature enough to discuss their issues and not hide behind it. They dont need to get together yet, but the should at least aknowledge whats there between them, weather it happens in an argument, or over drinks or being drunk or dinner at remys or in each others apartments, i dont care. I just think it should happen. At least then thye both know where they stand and then by all means, take time and space inch forward unti they are ready to be together.
As for what Nathan wants, well yes he has made it clear he doesnt want them together because of the moonlighting curse that he so believes in. I like him but I dont get that. Anyway, i dont think the writers really care what Nathan or any of the other actors think, they will write it as how they want. So dont worry about what Nathan wants, he is just the actor doing his job. Andrew Marlowe decides what happens and he has said numerous times that he doesnt believe in the moonlighting curse, so no worries guys. AM knows that his audience wnats caskett together, so I believe he will get us there.
I agree with anon 10.39. In my opinion, the sizzle is much lesser than it used to be. Im not blaming anyone or complaining, its just something ive noticed, thats all. I liked the first half of the season, I didnt love it. Lets hope the second half is better. For me at least.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Ive notived that with Castle, you have to watch his face a few times to see an underlying emotion or feeling. Maybe thast why there was a few post about lopsidedness with the emotion being evoked with stana and nathan. They are both good actors, but i think Stanas eyes are very expressive so you tend to see the emotion instantly, but with nathan its not instantly, so i feel that could be the reason some folks feel nathan isnt showing the emotion. I think he is, its just drowned out by stana because her eye expressions are very clear. No one to be blamed here, they are both good actors.
ReplyDeleteI had to watch eye of the beholder like 3 times before I could see what castles emotion after serena walked away and becketts walks in and ask why they didnt go out. My first reaction was like he didnt even care about beckett, and looked dissapointed that serena didnt invite him which annoyed me. Then after watching a few times, I realized, he was maybe a little defensive becasue Beckett actually thought that he would go out with serena, maybe even a little hurt and frustrated with Beckett for being jealous. He says the "No" very non chalantly whislt peering over at her. Its like telling her, why would I, you should know I wouldnt.
I think that at the moment it's going at the perfect pace we all know that something big is gonna happen and based on how good AM does the episodes we know that it will probably be something amazing and we know that it will be before the end of the season so we need to sit back enjoy the ride and enjoy the rest of the season.
ReplyDeleteI am very pleased by this season, and I don't think the pace is particularly slow, I would say it's fine.
ReplyDeleteI also noticed that Castle (the show) always has much more action and suspense in the second half of its seasons so I am expecting more change and events starting from January.
The only thing I really am afraid of, is predictability and repetition. I am scared that this season finale, again, the drama will consist of their fight, break up and summer apart. That in itself in the story could even be fun, if only for the tiny detail that has already been used three times in three years on Castle.
I am happy therefore to read that Marlowe is actually aware of the risk and is trying to find a smart, fun and original way to end this season.
What I also hope is that we get a bit more juicy stories regarding Castle (the man) for example his father. If something has to happen between those two, it would be nice that for once it was not regarding her and her mom but him and his life. I mean, he's not only living in function of her.
Or there could be other events (for example a crazy fan stalking him) related to him that impact their relationship.
I don't know, but I think there are SO MANY stories that you can tell about those two characters that I would consider it a shame to just get stuck with the same old plot line and repeat it every season.
So, this interview reassured me a lot, and I;m looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us!!
I have a question. In Kill shot at the end Beckett says: Sounds like a handful.
ReplyDeleteWhat does that mean???
Tnx to anyone who will answer :D
@Anon 6:08...
ReplyDeleteBeckett walks into the room to find Castle sitting in his chair at her desk. They exchange greetings and Beckett asks 'what are you doing?'
Castle: "Just waiting for my partner. Maybe you've seen her. Pretty girl, thinks she can leap tall buildings in a single bound, carries the weight of the world on her shoulders yet, still manages to laugh at some of my jokes"
Beckett: "She sounds like a handful"
Castle: "Tell me about it"
It means that she knows she isn't the easiest person in the world to get to know or to deal with. She has what a lot of people would refer to as 'baggage'. I think she also realizes that she may have hurt Castle by snapping at him earlier when her PTSD was really kicking in. Which is why she then thanks him for not pushing and giving her space to get through it all.
Anyway..sorry for being so long winded. I hope that answers your question.
Please allow me to use an old show as an example, and please bear with me as I'm sure somone else has used it before me. Pack the bags, we're taking a trip down memory lane...
ReplyDeleteI was a huge fan of Remington Steele back in the day, and I'm pretty sure many Castle fans who were fans of that show see similarities in the KB/RC relationship. While I feel the relationship pacing on RS was much more "one step forward, two steps backward" and was due to far too many writers being involved in the show which caused some lack of continuity, a series cannot continue for four or five seasons if the characters jump right into a sexual relationship. Seriously, people get bored once the chase is over too soon. And, I do not believe in the "Moonlighting Curse" - that show, while being fun for the first two seasons was a creative train wreck from day one. I do agree that while both shows have gorgeous leads, and in real life they would probably go for the physical a lot sooner, it is a standard plot device to keep them apart, especially since they work together. Laura's character also had the same fears about Remington's playboy past and he stuck by her and waited for her to come to him. At least we got a real ILY on Castle, not some dream sequence when Remington thought Laura was beating the crap out of him as they both said the ILY to each other. RS failed to bring the leads together and copped out at the end with a messy fake wedding and a last second assummed consummation in order to wrap everything up as they were about to be handed the pink slip for a second time. Too bad for the fans. I do not think AWM will cop out on the fans - KB and RC will get together in time. The real difference between these two shows is obviously the time period - RS premiered nearly 30 years ago. At that time we had no "social media", and a computer (or three) per household still seemed like something out of the Jetson's. That being said, we had very little "spoiler" action back then and tuned in to the show every week with the "will they, won't they" expectations. The main fan interaction was "water cooler conversation", and we evolved from that into water bottles. Simple times, yes, but maybe easier to enjoy the story that was developing between the leads. With so much opportunity for speculation, plot deconstruction and reading between the lines of any snippit of internet information about the next episode, I think some of us are spoiling the show for ourselves. So, I guess what I'm trying to say here is that it is just a story. If AWM wrapped up everything in a season or two, would we still have a show? I don't think so, but maybe if so it wouldn't be quite as interesting to see where the story goes. The writing on Castle is spot on and the acting is off the charts - better than any series on television today. I love how the writers are able to insert some silly episodes (ufo theories, superheroes and Elvis impersonators) between the darker stuff. Life, like tv shows are a series of hills and valleys. I think the show should be enjoyed for what it is - a great hour once a week of entertainment that helps me forget about the bad day I may have had - or may not have had. Hills and valleys, folks. Nuff said.
@Anon 6:36
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely werent long winded and thank you again for the explanation - now I see this part in a bit different way :D
Hey has anyone thought about that maybe Nathan is just scared that another show that he is in gets cancelled and he thinks that once theyre together it will end and he is afraid of that???
I personally think that they get along very well - I mean the cast & crew.... everyone - just look at the spoilers and you will see the fun that they had specially Nathan - he is on almost every video in the blooper and having fun with the others
Just my thought :D
@Anonymous 7:30am Hills and valleys! Exactly. Well said. Nice comparison to Remington Steele. I was too young to watch that show back then, but I do know the general plot of it. I think AWM & his team of very talented writers are way too savvy and capable to every let anything like what happened to shows like RS or Moonlighting happen to Castle.
ReplyDeleteI, for one, am really happy with the pace of the show so far. I'm a RABID 'shipper (seriously, crazy obsessed) and I can't wait to see them get together...but, like you said, if AWM wrapped everything up between Castle and Beckett in a season or two then what? I know their day will come...it feels like it's fast approaching, actually...and when it does happen, it's definitely going to be worth the wait.
I also love that AWM has said over and over that he believes there will be much more story to tell once Castle and Beckett get together. So, I'm confident he's not going to keep stringing the audience along and force Caskett apart season after season just to throw them together haphazardly at the very end. He's looking forward to exploring their story as a couple and wants there to be ample time to go down that road with them.
This season has been about growth on the parts of both Beckett and Castle. She knows that he loves her and that knowledge has motivated her to take control of her life and move on from her mom's murder. She wants to be more than she is. She is taking steps to be ready to dive in with him. Her time of avoidance and hiding from him is over. For Castle, the shooting shook him to the core. He almost lost Beckett and that fright forced him to grow up, too. He is still his charming, flirty self, but he is committed to being who she needs him to be. He will never leave her side but we have seen him give her space and solitude when that's what she needed most.
I think the second half of Season 4 is going to bring about a lot of progress in their relationship. It's even reasonable to think that maybe they will be together by season's end. I don't think the reveal of their secrets is going to push them further apart from one another. I think there may be anger/hurt on both sides initially...but I think they have come to a place in their lives and relationship with one another that they can finally see the forest for the trees. It's my hope that they will be able to get past the "how could you keep this from me" reaction and see that the secret was kept out of love and concern for one another.
The obvious assumption is that Beckett will freak out on Castle when she finds out he's been keeping info about her mother's murder from her. I think the old Beckett would do that, Beckett from seasons 1-3. I think this Beckett, who battled back from the brink of death, is enlightened. She sees how she has missed out on so much in life because of her obsession with her mom's case. She is ready to stop letting her mom's death dictate her life. If she pushes Castle away when she finds out he's been keeping her from the case in order to keep her alive, that goes against everything she's committed herself to this season. That's just her letting the case rob her of this chance at love and happiness. I'm hoping the way AWM and Co choose to end this season is with Beckett moving towards Castle even with the secret out.
Anyway, I can keep going and going about this show, but I'll stop here. I really think we have so much to look forward to in the second half of season 4. I might explode with excitement before Monday gets here. :)
I think all this is conjecture. We don't know what's going to happen or what the characters are thinking. This is everyone just projecting their emotions onto the characters. Suffice it to say the second half of the season will be better, but the first half was romantically dull. Bring on 4x11
ReplyDeleteElena:
ReplyDeleteIn the words of Lucy Maud Montgomery, I think we may be "kindred spirits". I have been mostly a lurker on this site for quite sometime, but have always enjoyed and agreed with your posts regarding Castle. Your theory on how Beckett will react to Castle's secret is very accurate and I think a definate possibility from the view of AWM and his writing staff. I see progression in the characters this season and find it all very refreshing for a tv show to have so much depth of character development. I think it's very real, otherwise everyone would not be debating Kate's behavior so much - LOL!
I am a complex personality and I think we all are in many ways. Many times I have people being thrown for a loop regarding my reaction or
proaction in a situation. We are all a bit damaged in some way, maybe not as deeply as KB's character, but it is part of what makes us what we are. Those who know me sometimes put up with a lot of my crap, but they know I am willing to do the same for them - we understand each other and I think a lot of this dynamic makes for long lasting relationships. This is possibly where I see the progression for KB/RC - not RC being a wus or KB being a bitch. It's not always sunshine and lollipops everyday - how boring would that be. That said, I think we are in for a long trip with the complex leads of beloved show, so in AWM I trust - with a little nudge from Terri Edda too! Thanks for your insightful reply. I look forward to dicussing Monday's episode with you.
Cheers!

The "lopsidedness" that some of you see... it is SUPPOSED to be seen. The conversation in Rise on the swing set was vague, but clear for a reason.
ReplyDeleteBeckett never specified Castle s name, keeping in line with these two dancing around their feelings, but at the same time she was looking at him the whole time as he was still sulking at her and avoiding her gaze. Notice once she finished with the reasoning that she couldn't be the person she wanted to be or have the relationship she wanted to have without putting her mother's case to rest that Castle softens and finally watches her for sincerity.
Once he saw it, heard how difficult it was for Beckett to say this, he reached out to her with the sentiment that they needed to solve her mother's case. HE GOT IT. Proof is his confidence that she would listen to him to back off the JB case when in Knockout she kicked him out of her life. He didn't fear that this time because of what she said on the swings and her breaking down unlike ever before in front of him with the "everyone is gone" scene.
Anyhoo, they both extended an olive branch on those swings and then Castle quips that he was stil mad at her in which she just nods an understanding, but Castle knew exactly who she was referring to that she wanted to be with once this case was put to bed.
His devotion to her to wait for her is one of the most admirable things i've seen on tv in a long while.
Now here's where the "lopsidedness" comes into play and Nathan's nailing it perfectly.
Castle's NEVER felt this way about anyone else. When Kyra left him he didn't understand that it didn't mean stay away forever and lost his first true love by being impatient and moving on. Now we see how awkward he's being when Beckett's reaching out to him because he doesn't know how to be normal with her like before the shooting without pushing her too much, too soon without risking pushing her away.
In H&V when Castle shared with her about Alexis and college and his fear of her leaving him so soon, Beckett warned him not to push Alexis or he may end up losing her anyway, notice the askance and csutious glance to Beckett as that soooooo mirrored what's going on between them.
So in KS and previous episodes we saw Castle not pushing her because he didn't want to risk pushing her away and losing her (and because he's also in new territory with being in love with someone with a complicated life, ergo, baggage).
Castle's not aware of Kate's therapy and all the progression she's making to rid herself of this baggage so there's still a matter of miscommunication and missed cues going on between them, but in the end scene in KS and throughout Cuffed Castle made his frustrations clear. He needs more from Kate and we got more with her apology to him in KS and her extending another olive branch at the end of Cuffed for a "next time."
Progression people. It's happening and the season still has 13 episodes to go. Give it time or get off the ship now because they won't be an "official" couple anytime soon, but they are working at becoming one and I am enjoying the pace and the little nuggets until we get the full course dinner. The appetizers have been enough to keep me full.
Anon 10:47 amen to everything you just said :-)
ReplyDeleteMaria:
ReplyDeleteYou know how I know we must be kindred spirits? It's because you started off by referencing LM Montgomery. One of my favorite scenes from the Anne of GG series is when Anne tells Matthew Cuthbert she believes they are kindred spirits. Loved it when I was 8, still love it today!
That aside, I'm so glad you enjoy reading my posts. I really love sharing my thoughts about Castle with fellow fans and getting into some good discussions. The writing and acting on Castle is just so compelling that it encourages such interesting discussions and speculation. I am really enjoying how much Castle and Beckett are growing and changing this season. We may not have had tons of romance in terms of kissing and that kind of stuff this season, but the romance has been building in other more subtle and, I think, significant ways. Because of how far they've come and the truths they've realized about themselves, each other, and their relationship, when they finally do get together (and that's something I believe will happen sooner than expected) it is going to be so much more meaningful and powerful...for them and for us!
Maria, I look forward to discussing future Castle episodes with you, too! :)
@Anonymous 10:47, thanks for reminding everyone how pivotal that swing set scene was. It completely set the tone for the season. Also, I really love how devoted Castle is to Beckett. It's so sweet and romantic. He may not be sending her roses and trying to make out with her every other minute, but what he is doing for her is so much more meaningful. Romance isn't always about wine and sex, you know? They've both had those types of relationships in the past. What they have now is something they've never experienced before. It's precious and they are doing all they can to make sure it doesn't get broken.
Oh, yeah, there are still 13 episodes in this season! Another good point. There's so much possibility for truly amazing things to happen. Keep that in mind, everyone! :)
@Elena I love ur posts! And just thanks, u help us all build theories of future eps, which I love to do, especially with my castle buddies.
ReplyDelete@anon10:47 thank u for explaining the swingset. I tried to but u said it perfectly. I'm so gals u both see that relationships aren't just drink wine and have sex. And I think we will get caskett, sooner than everyone else thinks. Once again thank u both and I hope we can enjoy the ride to caskett's relationship and when caskett becomes a couple:)
Wow I'm really late here but reading through all the comments and seeing both sides have very valid points. But I don't think fans who are tired of the endless tease are saying "have sex". But I think its high time the two should acknowledge a relationship to each other, then we can go back to the cute, shippery moments and have them actually mean something rather than get lost in the ether. I think thats what fans are getting frustrated about.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 9:36 I can't agree more.
ReplyDeleteI disagree about what fans are getting frustrated about. Some only want them to get physical and have admitted they don't care how as long as they do and for them do more to show they are in love. I do care and I do see what they're doing to show they're in love.
ReplyDeleteAM's story at this stage wouldn't make sense if something like a hug or kiss already took place in Rise, Cops & Robbers... why are they still apart and not discussing their relationship if they went there? You all would be ballistic!
This is tv. It doesn't always play out that way so early on in a season that's already set it up in the premiere for the characters to overcome a challenge. That challenge forces them to grow by learning something about themselves and what they want and sometimes they must fall, then crawl before they can walk, so to speak. Beckett's just now finding her footing to stand up and take a chance with Castle.
Acknowledging the relationship at this stage while neither is ready to "go there" takes away from the buildup to the season finale.
Something as big as a ship getting together usually takes place towards the end of the season or at the beginning of the season after they've overcome their setbacks/challenges. On every show i've watched with a ship this is what takes place.
People just need to have patience and enjoy other aspects of the show besides wanting Caskett to "hook up" right now. It ain't gonna happen RIGHT NOW, but they are building it up for the big reveal towards the middle to the end of the season.
They are building the other characters to bide time before they are ready to really deal with the Caskett ship. That's usually the formula for the wtwt shows.
I don't get the frustration honestly. AM said we would be, but in every single episode we're getting something shifting between them that's bringin them one step closer, yet there's an air of mystery that has me wondering how they'll react to those secrets.
My guess is there'll be a fallout, but it may not be as bad as we think with little hints this season thrown at us about relationships with strong foundations being able to overcome anything and making even the impossible possible to great love stories being about beating the odds.
AM has a job to do. The networks/advertisers control when Caskett get together. Not him. His job is to keep us entertained until he gets the green light.
He's especially been challenged since ABC approved the ILY to end season 3, so i'm cutting the guy some slack for that and the fact that I see how much he wants us to care about his show and characters. It's not ALL about when Caskett hooks up. Many turn in for that, but not the entire 11-13 millions. Shippers need to realize this.
Like it or not this IS a procedural and they have to build a case each episode. He also has other characters to write for. The entire episode can't be about the Caskett relationship. It just is not a soap opera.
That being said people disappoint themselves. I see the growth and progression in spades this season and we still have 13 episodes to go.
If you think Caskett are going to acknowledge it tomorrow and can't deal with the fact that it's a work in progress, then you should find something else to watch instead of complaining that it's boring. Why watch if it's not entertainung you?
Besides. The relationship was acknowledged in Rise, imo. Castle's just waiting for her to be ready and we've been seeing Beckett in therapy to get the help she needs in order to be with Castle without that wall keeping her from letting him in. She failed with Will, Demming, and Josh because of that wall (and by extension her feelings for Castle) and she doesn't want that with Castle.
I love this storyline!
Anon 9:04:
ReplyDeleteAgreed 100%! This a tv show, a story about characters that are worth the investment!
Like John Cusack told the drunk kid at the graduation party in the movie "Say Anything"...
"YOU MUST CHILL!"
I'm enjoying the storytelling, the pacing and above all the talented cast bringing it all to light for me every week.
Maria
Nicely done, Anon 9:04! I don't think we can emphasize the importance of that swing set scene in Rise. It was right then and there that Beckett acknowledged the relationship and the fact that she DOES want to be with him. Like she said, she broke up with Josh because she "really, really liked him" but "it wasn't enough." In the moment right after she said that she looked Castle right in the eye, held his gaze, and said that she can't be the kind of person she wants to be or have the kind of relationship she wants to have until her internal wall comes down and she puts her mom's case to rest. The look she gives him says, "Do you understand what I'm saying here? Do you get it? You're the one I want to do this with...I'm not ready just yet but I will be." Castle's response, "Well, I guess we're just gonna have to find these guys and take them down," is all she needs to hear bc that's HIS way of saying, "I'm here and not going anywhere. I'll be here when you're ready."
ReplyDeleteEverything that's happened so far this season comes back to 2 pivotal scenes, I think: the swing set scene in Rise and Beckett telling Dr. Burke she's ready to let go of her mom's murder and take control of her life in Kill Shot. I think the swing set scene set the tone for how Beckett and Castle behave and the decisions they make regarding one another for the season. That exchange changed the "will we" to "when we" for them. Beckett telling Burke she's ready to let go sets her on a path that we have just begun to see. She is going to be taking active steps to deny her mom's murder the power to drive and define her.
Her newfound commitment to moving on and taking down that wall inside her is what makes me think she won't react the way the Beckett of Season 1-3 would have reacted to Castle's secret. That Beckett was so obsessed and driven by her mom's case that, yeah, she would have felt such deep betrayal and anger toward Castle. We saw that happen already at the end of Season 1. This is a different Beckett, though, then Seasons 1-3 Beckett. She knows what she has with Castle. She sees that every thing he's ever done has been out of love and concern for her well-being. It would show such little character growth and progression if she just tosses all that knowledge out the window in favor of the anger and hurt the old Beckett would have felt. I really don't think that's the way AWM is taking Beckett at this point.
Anyway, there really has been such growth and development in both Beckett and Castle so far this season...and we still have half a season to go! Imagine what might happen next considering how much has happened so far. I'm hoping for a kiss (maybe lots of kisses) just like every other 'shipper out there. I really hope it happens and I believe that it will. So, let's everyone just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride we're about to be taken on when Castle returns TOMORROW!!!
YESSSSSSS!!!! I can't wait. I look forward to discussing tomorrow's episode on here or over at the Old Haunt with you all!
Nicely said Elena. I agree that those two scenes in Rise and Kill Shot were probably the most pivitol moments in the season...so far.
ReplyDeleteThe swing scene in Rise. The part stood out most to me in that was when she hesitated before she said, "I'm not going to have the kind of relationship...". Castle turned and looked at her when she hesitated and saw she was struggling to come up with the right words for what she was feeling and how to express them.
Beckett isn't the type who wears their heart on her sleeve and as we know tends to hold a lot inside so what she was saying was difficult for her. I think Castle recognized that and that she was really trying to patch things up. The look in her eyes was like, 'please understand what I'm trying to say'.
When he answered with the "We'll have to find these guys....", the quick smile she gave was almost in relief, saying 'he got it'. She knew right then that he was back by her side, and always would be.
That whole scene was brilliantly played by both of them.
I was looking at the schedule and saw they're repeating Rise on the 21st. So much happened in that show..I'm looking forward to seeing it again.
But not as much as seeing what happens tomorrow night!!!!
