Castle said:Jamz – I was just looking at that site five minutes ago and the info on Castle wasn't' up yet, I was about to post also that I heard the ratings weren't so good. Given that with all the reruns and such should have brought in a bunch of new viewers, holding steady at last season's level probably isn't so good. I think Castle is on shaky ground and needs better ratings to get a full season. Not the news I was hoping for.

Do the ratings you're looking at include those of us who did not watch live?  I thought I read somewhere that they count the online views for the first 24-hours post broadcast and tally 'em up as well.

^I know what you mean. All we can do is hope that it picks up as the season goes on. I'm doing my best to get my friends to watch, but none of them are really interested. I think a lot of people dismiss Castle as "just another cop show", when the main focus of the show isn't about the cases at all. In the same way that the main focus of a show like Grey's Anatomy isn't the surgeries, but the relationships between the surgeons.

Okay my internet is down at home so I had to wait until I got to school to be able to jump online and come here >.< I don't know if this was mentioned anywwhere else in this post but did anyone else catch what Castle said about the other three murders?

One of the victims was a former law student of hers. Being that they were talking about Beckett's mom, this makes me think that she was a law professor which explains a little bit more why Kate understands the law so well.

I caught that. I was wondering about that too, and about how it doesn't seem like the other two victims were involved with her somehow.

Got that, lilmac.  And, the other two vics seem connected as well.

I wanna learn more about the ME that did the J. Beckett autopsy and who did autopsies on the others.  Lanie better get on that.  Just because Castle can't, doesn't mean she won't.  Go Dr. Parish go!

Yeah….what nalissa said!  ABC did a poor job promoting the show before the season started.

wolf-fire said: I agree. I noticed that they had a few previews, but not as many as other shows had. They had more previews for new shows than they did for shows that are starting new seasons.

I'm not only talking about previews.  ABC should take a lesson from our Admin in her comprehensive approach to preparing her set-visit report which included various media types.  Print ads, radio interviews, guest appearances, etc.  It's a big cast.  Divide and conquer.  And, why haven't I seen the season two poster on a bus?
