Kate,

You are an angel sent from the writing Gods! The Mistress Always Spanks Twice was a fabulous episode! It was hysterical!

Your first time writing for a show, ever!? I find that really hard to believe (that's a huge compliment to you!), but you had better get used to writing – people are going to be calling your name! You captured the characters perfectly… plus a little extra somethin' somethin' for the Castle/Beckett shippers. You did a wonderful job, and I hope you will be writing future episodes!  Everything worked so beautifully together, and I can't praise you enough! Great job, girl!  xo :)

For her first episode ever, that was pretty fantastic!  Great story and captured the characters brilliantly!

CANNOT believe this was your first episode, Kate!

I was giggling like an idiot the whole way through… thanks for not pulling any punches! Loved this ep, definitely one of my favorites!

Hope you'll continue to write for Castle… you did an awesome job!

Fantastic episode and definitely one of my favourite ones at the moment! I hope you get to write much more "Castle" episodes in the future!

Wow, Kate Sargeant really killed with this one.  I knew it would be great based on all of the raves in the chat room from the East Coasters.  I loved that this ep was heavy on the humor and the C & B interaction.  There were some great one liners in this ep too, and the obvious enjoyment that Beckett got from teasing Castle was hilarious.   I wouldn't be upset if she were to write some more episdoes for us in S2 or S3.

The episode is up on abc.com with text commentary by Kate Sargeant, can't wait to watch this one again.

Being outside the States, of course I can't read the text commentary.
Help? Anyone?

I started watching it. I got all the way to when Castle and Beckett get to the sex toy store. It's a little jumpy right now so I'm going to try again later. I'm loving her commentary so far.

PeTJa, it wouldn't let me copy/paste but maybe the Admin can get another copy up like last time?

It would be great, I'd love to read her commentary, too. It's a shame that it's unavailable for outside of USA people

After reading her commentary, I'm an even bigger fan of Kate Sargeant and I hope she writes more because she is a fan of the Castle/Beckett banter and that's the part I love.  Sounds like she had a lot of fun writing the scenes where Beckett is just torturing "Ricky" LOL

I don't know if I'm allowed to copy paste her entire transcript, but here are a few of my favorite bits.

"It's always the normal looking
ones that end up being the most freaky." Food for thought: maybe
cases aren't the only thing that Beckett likes freaky."

"I loved the idea of Beckett going toe
to toe with a dominatrix: a woman whose profession is about wielding
power, just like Beckett's. But I'm pretty sure if they got in a
ring, Beckett would win."

"Stana really went for it in this
interrogation scene and it paid off. Beckett gets to do what she does
best – exert power with measured yet forceful confidence. Makes you
wonder – maybe she really is Mistress Beckett in her off hours…"

"One question before I sign off: Do you
think Beckett has some latex corsets and whips in her closet or was
it all a ruse to get under Castle's skin? Thanks for watching!"

Great job!  Just goes to show, when you're a talented writer, you can knock it out of the park without any prior experience.  How awesome for the powers that be to give her the opportunity!  As a writer myself, it warms my heart. :)

Thanks Kitten for those snippets of the commentary.  I love the things she says about Beckett.  She does seem to have a real appreciation for the characters.  I want to try to watch the whole commentary later, but I always seem to have issues with it.  I hope admin can get a transcript up like last time!
