More preview clips…WOW…Clip 5 was so revealing about Castle feelings. It will be a great episode! It seems the there relationship will be turning a corner if he turns down the offer. Bounce


I agree with this. You really can tell his feelings with one glance at his face. That's what I love about Castle. He's so easy to read. LOL…

I also have to put my .02 cents in on the character of Paula.  She bothers me, big time. I can fully accept that they needed someone with a thick NY accent on the show for believeability.  BUT… She does not fit, and she is not, IMO, believeable in this role. First off, she works with people of intelligence and respectability due to her job.  Speaking that way to someone, friend or not, in the litterary world would have you without a job. Period. End of Story. She is crass and gauche. Second, she speaks like a hick (even being from NYC.) That is very out of character for any New Yorker. And I've known more than my share due to my last job.  Third, Someone of her capacity who has the ear of the litterary world would be well educated and would show a few more social graces than Paula's character does. I REALLY hope they do not intend to bring her back into Castle's life as a romantic interest in any way, shape or form. That would be a death knoll. I hope they phase her out quickly. All the other characters are so well written, and so polished. She is not as a character.

I'll disagree a little bit. It's obvious that Paula and Rick have had more than a just a business relationship in the past.

I agree about Castle showing his emotions clearly on his face. You can really see how his feelings for Beckett have changed. It started out with him just being attracted to her, and not being afraid to let anyone, including her, know about it. Now whenever someone asks him if he has feelings for her, he either changes the subject or doesn't really respond, but he never denies it. I just love how he's evolving. :)

Hmm. Well, I'm not sure if we can really give Debi Mazar's character a full review with only the scenes we've got…

Personally, I couldn't have formed an educated opinion on Castle with just hearing a couple of minutes or so of dialogue, he first seems like a pompous jerk in the book signing part in "Flowers for Her Grave". As his character was developed, we find out he's a loveable jerk who really doesn't mean any harm. :) But that's beside the point.

Overall, I'd say that from what I've seen, I kind of like her character. She gives us an opportunity to (possibly) see how deep Castle's feelings for Beckett go. Sure, she could cause some roadblocks in the C/B relationship, but isn't that what these kinds of shows are about? C'mon, you know you secretly love all the angst of them "getting *this* close, to getting closer"… Bounce2

I have a feeling that this'll be one of those characters we're supposed to love to hate. :P

Anyway, I'll withold any further judgement until after I've seen the episode :)

I agree.

Also, I think that the roadblocks she creates will bring Castle and Beckett closer together in the long run.

Oww… and I thought I had an adverse reaction to her. I admit though, her accent seems exaggerated for comedic value. Almost like Fran Drescher from The Nanny. I saw Debbi on DWTS and she didn't talk like that then.

It's all good. I just look at it as a chance to throw something at the screen when she's on and putting roadblocks in the C/B hook up. ROFL

I love the idea of Debi being a long term "extra character" on Castle.  She will add an extra foil to the mix for the Castle and Beckett relationship and that makes for good drama/comedy.  She's a very talented actress and her accent, while perhaps a bit heavy, actually adds to the comedic aspect of the show.  The fact that she "lays it on thick" is a bit of a stereotypical NY concept which folks will either love or hate.  In fact, her character's personality and accent actually make a GREAT contrast to Stana's Beckett.  In my mind, Debi's character really allows us to see Beckett in a whole new light.  Before, we've had no extra female character (other than Lanie) to compare/contrast with Beckett.  This allows the writers and audience an opportunity to (wrire for) see Beckett via contrast and that's likely a really good way to explore different aspects of Beckett we haven't yet seen.

The Kate vs. Paula thing is a battle of the boroughs for sure.  The contrasts are exaggerated & endless.  I'm so looking forward to it.  Paula's got nothing on Beckett, so Beckett will eventually eliminate her and it will be a joy to watch it play out.  Beckett's going to have to step it up if she wants to stay in the game.  This is going to be fun!  God bless Debi Mazar for causin' a ruckus.  I love a good Trouble_Maker.

Hey Boston…I'm with you about you comments. I will enjoy watching Beckett step her emotions toward Castle to stay ahead of the other women in his life.

I would even go to say that Beckett has stepped up her game when she attends the Book launch party. The 'crazy sexy' blue dress will make any man stop cold in his tracks. The writers in the preview actually shows just that as Nathan stares at her. Beckett had a choice to dress nice or dress like 'Nikki' and I would say that she picked 'Nikki'

What does anyone else think? Crazy2

Wishing for Season 3!

Yep, makes sense and I couldn't agree more. 

I can't wait to see some rivalry between Kate and Paula. It's going to be interesting to see how tomorrow's episode plays out.

I think I could hate her just for that blue dress and the jacket/red bra combo and that gorgeous red evening dress (I'm joking guys don't hit me!) but seriously if you can work a dress like that hell why not? I'm quite sure it got Rick's attention and I've not seen the episode yet.

Agree 100% with this post below from wolf-fire. I'm pleasantly surprised with all the tweaks they've done this season with the characters. Now if we could just get Lanie a few more scenes. I'm really curious to see how they resolve the book deal since Castle got an actual offer. I hope it involves a sweet scene with Castle and Beckett both letting their guard down.

"I agree about Castle showing his emotions clearly on his face. You can really see how his feelings for Beckett have changed. It started out with him just being attracted to her, and not being afraid to let anyone, including her, know about it.

Can't wait to watch it. I'm a brand new fan… just find out about Castle this week, and watched the whole first season this weekend

The characters are amazing, the Beckett/Castle tension makes you hold your breath dozen times in and episode… and they're funny, you don't usually see all these traits in the same show, that's what makes it special (kinda reminds me of scrubs… a real good mix of everything you feel like watching).

SydneyDeb "ka-pow" (just kidding) tonight in a little more than 1 hour we will find out what happens.

Tell me that she is not looking like a detective, but she is dressing up like Nikki Heat. Even a fan of Castle books would not dress up in that blue dress unless she wants to make a statement that Becket can act like Nikki is she wants.

Thoughts?

Wishing for Season 3!

Easy peasy: Herve Leger – as the agent says when looking daggers at KB at the book signing. The dresses run around $1,000 (which makes me wonder how a cop affords one) and are made of the strangest heavy stretchy materials. They are a blast to wear as they fit like a second skin. But i must say the one's i've seen out and about (includng my own) don't look 1/100th as good as the one on KB – but that may be because the rest of us don't have 1/100 as great a figure.
