Hi,
 
Newbie here, first post.  Does anyone know if this is a "single episode romance" or a relationship arc? 

It seems like it's only one episode. Unlike Beckett's, it's 4 episodes. Well, we do know that she's more into a real relationship than just a one night fling. So it makes sense that he sticks around for 4 episodes. hehehe

Kelly is brunette now too (photo from an Oscar party this weekend). Oddly enough, she's wearing the same dress Alyssa Milano wore for the closing wedding scene of "A Rose for Ever After"

Thanks for posting mon!

Plus Beckett is pretty available.  What's keeping him from commitment?

We all know that Castle's brain drifts south when a pretty,sexy female is in the area. Beckett showing any feeling towards Castle is always a good thing imho.I also believe it's all part of the stall effort to hold on for a couple more seasons before the principals get together.Beckett has had several chances to see the real Richard Castle so she knows he has substance past his playboy ways. (jerking on things that shouldn't be jerked !) I like Beckett jealous,Castle too for that matter. Just another episode of yanking the chain back and forth. Next it will be Becketts turn with the new guy and Castle's (who is more jealous than Beckett most of the time)turn with the green meanie. Serves to keep the viewing audience confused because we all know they are mad for each other. A word by either would start the fire that would burn NYC to the romantic ground.

Castle getting involved with an actress or model,someone Beckett wouldn't see as real shows me he's only getting his sugar fix before the entree is served. Not that he prefers actresses and models but that he can date these women w/o making a commitment if he wants to and no one gets hurt. Bachelorette #3,comes to mind. It's more availability than preference in my mind.

Well, that just reaffirms Beckett's belief on what Castle wants in a relationship and in women (sex and nothing more). Even if we met Kyra Blaine, all the women he has been involved with after her have been women involved in showbusiness.

     Sounding just a little bit bitter baby girl. Castle was raised around show business women. Martha has always been an actress.He like most men wants someone like dear ole mom.Could be just that simple or he could be afraid of a real woman that he couldn't walk away from without being deeply hurt.His being raised around women and showbusiness women at that is likely to have molded him into what he is today. I trust Beckett will eventually bring him around to the straight and narrow. I truely believe he loves Beckett beyond reason but is really afraid of her at this point.

She has said she is a one and done type of girl.Castle believes it and possibly dosen't think he's good enough for her at this point.

More madman musings.  Don't throw me under the bus…….plz.      

Wow,what small type you have.My old eyes could barely see it to read it.

Don't get your knickers twisted.Me and Marbs have been trading post and it's all in fun while waiting on the episode to begin.

I was kidding with her.   note baby girl reference. Nothing but love here,nothing but love for ya!

The movie is big news though! Can't wait for it to come out. Keep us posted on who may be cast for leads if you find anything. Thanks!

Ok, there are a lot of quote and replies I want to be doing here, but since that might get too complicated, I'll just post my thoughts.

Here we are worrying about all this, and I'm betting (or hoping) it will all turn out fine in the end.  Don't want to sound naive (I've seen how TV show writers can take a show in the wrong direction, IMHO), but I trust the Castle writers here. I really do.  Like dmcw said, it will probably make more sense once we've seen how the episodes and storylines evolve.  Even if these relationships are just plot devices to extend the arc of CB, I have a feeling that the writers will execute them well, respecting CB.  Remember, they love the pairing as much as we do, and know when these kinds of ploys can get annoying. I think Moby Dick said it best: "I truly believe he loves Beckett beyond reason but is really afraid of her at this point."

I'm just going to enjoy the rest of season two and look forward to season three.  Really excited that Heat Wave is now being made into a movie.
