After a marathon session of watching all of the episodes that have come out so far, I noticed that any time Castle has the opportunity he sits in Beckett's chair, to include the episode in which he pretends to be a cop while waiting in her car.  She always has to ask him to get out of her chair, and yet he always finds his way back into it somehow, even knowing that she's just going to make him get off of it again.

Anybody else find funny quirks about the characters' behavior?

THIS IS ABOUT THE Officers that work side by side with Beckett.  They seem to have been partners for a while.  And they seem to be buddies too.  They have to walk a fine line with Beckett yet treat Castle like the rich guy he is one moment and part of the cop family the next.  Hope to see them in more scenes next season.  oh yeah funny quirks… they seem to be competing for girls in some scenes.  

Aicha, I didn't even notice the scene with Kate taking his mug! It gives me an excuse to see the episode again. But oh, darn, not sure which episode it's in so I guess I'll have to watch them all in order to find it [Image Can Not Be Found] . 

Nalissa, I thought that was really funny too. I love how Kate isn't the frigid 1-dimensional woman cop that I've seen on TV so much. She's got little quirks that she does, with a variety of emotions and temperaments, that make her human. I really find her fascinating to watch.

One thing that I've noticed with Nathan/Rick is that sometimes, when Kate is going about her business and completely oblivious to him, he gets this very interesting look on his face like he's intently studying her. Not physically, and not just for his book, but in a way that makes me think he's really discovering her as a person and not as an object for his work. I love it. It's very subtle, and sometimes Kate will be talking away in front of him and still be completely unaware. One of these days he's going to shock her with the things he remembers about her and prove how much he's beginning to care for her–romantically or not (yet).

Hey, Luna, great picture for your icon!  I am so jealous! Where did you get that?  Me WANT! I just love that ear pulling scene in the episode Hedgefund HomeBoys.  Please share where you got that! I've been looking for Castle pictures all over the web and haven't had much luch.

Gracias! I was having a really hard time finding pictures online, too. There really aren't any sites that have screencaps up [Image Can Not Be Found] . But I downloaded all of the episodes on iTunes, so I was able to make the avatar myself. I love Photoshop, and make my own icons and signatures for message boards that I'm on (unless I see one that I could never do myself, then I ask if I can borrow it [Image Can Not Be Found]&nbsp . If you need any pictures to make one for yourself, I'd be happy to get some screencaps for you. I don't mind making avatars/signatures either!

Also, the icon in my signature is at LiveJournal. I think the URL is http://www.community.livejourn…../castle_tv . There are a bunch of avatars there, including one like mine (I think that scene is a favorite for a bunch of us Castle fans, including me of course!)

I'm thinking about holding a competition for artwork, banners, buttons etc that can be used to promote the show around the web in time for season 2 – what do you think?  I may even have a cool prize to giveaway, think I'll post about it in the creative section…

I think that's an awesome idea! I'd be the first to enter, lol. I'm amateur, though, so I probably wouldn't win–but it'll give me an excuse to be "productive" with Photoshop! 

CL45, glad you got the picture . Is it possible that your avatar is too big? I kept on trying to upload 100x100 avatars and I couldn't figure out why they weren't uploading. But then I paid attention to the top of the page, and it tells me what's wrong when I save my changes. It's this red banner at the top that tells you whatever issue occurred, if any. Anyway, I discovered that my avatars needed to be 80x80 (it told me the size limit there on the page next to the avatar upload form–I just wasn't paying attention. D'oh! *blush* )

I’ve made changes to allow for avatars 100×100 now rather than 80×80 – I think that’s a more standard size.

Oh, thanks! Yes, that definitely makes things easier for me . I appreciate it!
