I missed the last chat but I'm hoping to make it to this one.

Thanks for setting up another chat. A lot of fun for us fans.

I shall try to be here, and get in the chat room!, for this, this time.

:)

Thanks Addy (your new name, Admin ;) )

I hope you'll let us submit some questions ahead of time since I will be out of town all next week and not anywhere close to a computer.  I still haven't gotten the darned Java to load and may have to resort to getting an assist from someone at the computer shop.  I've "enabled" it on my browser (as far as I can tell) and done everything else that the sites suggest…just no luck at this point.  Since I won't be here on the 3rd anyway, it doesn't make any difference.  However, if you're going to keep getting us wonderful chat guests, I am definitely going to want to be in the chat room.  You are AWESOME, Admin.  Thanks so much for doing this.  This is the BEST fan site going!!!!!

Castle said:You can submit questions ahead of time, just post them here. I can't guarantee all questions will be asked (there are always double ups etc and time is obviously limited) but I do my best to cover as much as possible.

I'll start a new thread on troubleshooting chat later and see if we can fix the problems some people are having.

Two Questions for Mr Molina:

1.  I'd like to know how the writers coordinate a specific story line from week to week.  For example, we know there's a story line about Beckett's mother's death.  So, how do the writers handle incorporating that particular thread into multiple episodes? 

2.  How far in advance do they plot out an ongoing story line?  For example, do they know how far along the Beckett and Castle relationship is expected to progress by the last episode of season 2?  Or is that something decided week by week?

Thanks Admin.  Hope the chat goes well and that we can get a transcript for those of us unable to participate. 

Thanks Admin! The last chat session with Terri was great and I can't wait for this one

Since I seem to have trouble even getting the forum to work at busy times, I'll post a question here now.

To Jose Molina:

Do you have any particular familiarity with the current music biz in the US? The story seemed to come with an insider's knowledge. The characters were all very true to the life. (former music reporter here)

Loved the foreshadowing of the Hayley Blue character in a previous episode, via a t-shirt.

Will you be writing more for Castle?

Admin,

Let me know if this comment and question are acceptable:

Comment & Question:

I wanted to congratulate you on your writing success and being a role model for the Latino community.

When writing a show, do you have a choice on the murder location for instance having a crime in a Hispanic/Latino community? If so, would you some way be able to represent the generally strong family bond that exists or would that be too difficult?

I'll definately be here for the chat tonight since I missed the first. I'll see if I can come up with some questions. Thanks for making all of this possible Admin. :)

You and fellow writers seem to have some liberty with including small tips of the hat to shows that mainly Nathan has worked on(those his fanbase and fanbase of this show also enjoy). Frankly I think that makes watching the show and 'listening' to the show even more interesting for us the viewers(and fans!). I was wondering, since both your lead actors are Canadian born, let's have a little 'tip to the north' sometime.  Frankly if a can of Tim Hortons Coffee  could be sitting around the bullpen or kitchenette and someone pics it up and goes 'What the heck.' and puts it down and walks away…something like that.  Enjoyed last nights show much and hope you get the opportunity to write again for Castle. ps. if props needs a can of Tim Hortons Coffee-I'd gladly send one down :)

Cheers
