So, I’m guessing you’ve seen your fair share of panicked CASTLE fans in the past week…
Andrew Marlowe: [Laughs] Actually, I knew that there were going to be some anxious fans so I stayed off the boards after Monday’s episode.
I know you’ve talked in the past how you monitor people’s
anxiousness and their frustrations and there are times where you’re
genuinely trying to get a specific kind of reaction because you know
where things are leading to. But do you feel like the reaction you’ve
seen is what you felt it should be at this point?
AM: Yeah, I think so. I think so. As long as they’re
willing to stick with us until the end, that’s good. There’s a reason
for everything we’re doing and I expect about a third of the fans will
be really angry, a third of them would be frustrated/anxious/curious and
a third of them would probably get where we’re going.
Has there been any point in the season where you were surprised by the reaction you got?
AM: Um, sort of yes and no. No, in that I understand
that passionate fans are going to be invested and whenever there’s a
bump in the road or these guys are challenged, it’s going to be
frustrating to some folks. I certainly know there is an aspect of
impatience with some of our more hardcore fans. But we had things pretty
well mapped out at the beginning of the season and things are going
according to our plan, and we feel like our characters are in a really
interesting place and certainly where they need to be in our run-up to
the season finale.

Based on his writing, it is seriously an effing miracle that Andrew Marlowe and his wife ever got together.
ReplyDelete^funny!
DeleteNo kidding! Dysfunctional much?
DeleteI love your comment :P Haha It made me actually laugh out loud
DeleteI'm not going to lie and say I haven't been upset and disappointed at some point(s) in this season, but I think the end justifies the means, so it better be a really damn good ending!
ReplyDeleteyoure totally right... For all this angst in 47 seconds and whats to come in the limey ,not to mention the angst we will face in episode 21 or 22 when castles secret will come out...ugh ist gonna be incredibly hard. The finale better be worth it and not just like the last 2 minutes of it! I honestly think in the end of the season we will be satisfied but we migh die and shed millions of tears before then!
ReplyDeleteI personally don't care for the direction of Rick Castle's character. His actions after he found out that Beckett knew he told her his love for her is out of sync with the story of this season. There have been plenty of moments that he would have picked up that she has feelings for him. He would also know she has things to work through. This progression makes Castle look childish. Call me disappointed up to this point. It is just not logical.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone there. I don't quite see the continuity here...but maybe that's the point. They need to shake things up to get things moving. I just hope it starts moving in the right direction D:
DeleteOr it could be that as long as Castle thought they had a chance, we was patient and supportive. Now that he thinks she never loved him, he's not only embarrassed, but he's acting out of character when he felt secure. Therefore, on some level, his current actions do make sense. She's scared and it may make her act finally. He's disappointed, and thus all logic for him goes out the window. Both are reacting from fear and disappointment, same emotion on different sides of the coin. So what you call out of character, I might call human and fragile.
ReplyDeleteI guess Marlowe is saying that all cards will be on the table in the season finale, so considering the progress between our leads (or rather you may not even call it progress) The theme of next season is going to be......wait for it...................
ReplyDelete'Playing the cards'
The next season will be them playing the cards meaning dealing with the consequences of the secrets and another season will go down the drain! Castle and Beckett may get together in season 6, that is not very different from Booth and bones who got together in season 7!
I am going to watch only the finale, as AWM has made it pretty clear that nothing is going to happen till the finale and I am not enjoying and finding Richard Castle and Kate Beckett pretty annoying and childish right now!
-Where is the Richard Castle who once told Kate and Alexis to give things time? To kate in Rise to give her mother murder time and to Alexis when she got rejected by Stanford.
-Where is the Kate Beckett who if wanted to talk to someone, used to drag them in the corner and get things sorted. She did that when she wanted to talk to him about Natalie Rhodes in season 3 and she used to ask Montgomery many times that they needed to talk when she was having trouble with Castle in the beginning. If she had guts to order her boss and get things sorted then, why isn't she doing that with Rick instead of feebly asking him that hey need to talk.
The writers have spoiled the characters for me, and it seems that the Castle I saw this season and season 3, who had become quite matured, his loving character and his ability to read people, even his patience has all got ruined for me. Even Beckett seems to me as an insecure 16 year old girl in love with a teenage boy, not the person whom she knows and loves and has been working with for 4 years and has heard him confess his love to her, still doubting her feelings and above all his character now. Why does it now worry her that he has been married twice and by all means, they are not getting married or something therefore the writers can address these issues after that are together too, its not that he has asked her to marry him, he just said that he loved her and now is the time for them to stop dragging.
I hope the finale is good, though I dont know how are they going to make us happy and address all issues and give a cliffhanger and repair the damages ALL is 42 minutes. It should have been better spread. I dont see the sense of these 4 episodes, they rather seem as fillers. Whats the sense of the secret coming out and Kate not knowing it? Just to show Castle angry.. ok fine thats acceptable but they should have made Kate able to find out by the end of Limey because she is supposed to be a great detective and she could not make the connection seeing the coffee glass and Javi telling her that he just left! If not then then at least by now she should have figured it out, and Rick should have been tough and if not then but now in Limey he should have manned up and told her or hinted her indirectly about him 'Knowing the secret' and not telling her about his lovely date with that bimbo. I am watching this series for Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic and not for the absolutely ridiculous writing and story. If castle and beckett were played by any other character, I would have left it by now. But I love ALL the characters that is why I am gonna watch the Finale which AWM is saying that is gonna be awesome. Now that he has raised all our hopes and titled it 'Alway' it better be awesome.
