Castle 1/3/11

Fun episode last night, not least because of the references back to Castle's first Nikki Heat novel... The network did a cheesy tie-in and hired someone to ghost write a book as Richard Castle called "Heat Wave" just like in the show and published it. My wife read it over the holiday, and she said the ep tied the book references back consistently. Like I said, cheesy cross marketing, but kinda cool/different, too.

Laura Prepon seemed like she was just having a ball playing the actress "learning" Beckett, and I bet it was a fun role.

And the various character dynamics continue to be fun.

I also think this season's scripts seem sharper.


City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

I like Laura Prepon better as a redhead

Ya, it was only after she started talking to Beckett that I could tell it was her. The voice on the audition tape didn't really seem like her and the blondeness was too odd. But ya, that seemed like it was a fun role. Beckett doesn't take too well to having her foibles exposed.

And Espizito failed in the Bro code.

Also Beckett's spit take was good.

This is only the second time I've managed to catch this show. And if the rest are more like this, I need to put more effort into seeing more.

This was a pretty fair example of the tone and style it has settled into.

She's been going blonde for several years now.

Yeah, she was blond the last two(?) seasons of That 70's Show.

I didn't even recognize her. Her voice sounded familiar and I had a feeling she was from a sitcom, but the blondeness threw me off.

Same here, she looked familiar but it took me ages to realize who she was. I also preferred her as a redhead but I have a thing for redheads so that's not really surprising .

Definitely a few good laughs. Loved the episode.

I almost peed


It's 106 miles to Grandville, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing faceless helmets

... Hit it ...

And the great thing about that line is it didn't come from Castle or Beckett but from Ryan.

Doesn't mean it isn't offputting. She looks better as a redhead. Plus, I didn't really watch the last few seasons of That 70's Show. Nor have I seen a whole lot of her recently vs the amount of time I've seen her as a redhead.

Ryan and Espizito definitely need to get nominations for Best Supporting Actors.
