OfflineMixed feelings about this ep, but I truly enjoyed the relationships between the established characters very much. And, I thought they were expertly directed by Mr. Frakes.
No real sense of Castle/Beckett here, except for the one nod to the No/Not Yet answer (love that they have running jokes so early in the run of this show!), and as usual the leads are charismatic and entertaining.
I think the real winner this time was Ruben Santiago-Hudson. He was EXCEPTIONAL in this ep, truly engaging and he totally PWNED that scene with the senator in his office. I actually whooped with glee when he handed him his rear end. Beautifully acted.
Also fantastic was that little subtle moment of hero-worship for Ryan, when Montgomery says "They didn't put me behind this desk just because I look good," or something like that. It was an ACE moment, I loved it. Seamus Dever made a fantastic face.
And of course, Susan Sullivan was just beautiful. I hope I am that stunning when I'm her age, but then, I'm absolutely sure she's not actually old enough to be his mom! GO MARTHA.
I know the whole point of a detective series is to have cases to solve, but honestly I just have so much fun watching the ensemble cast riff off of each other that they could just make the show about them, and I'd be happy!

OfflineI liked the case in this one- kept me guessing. When I saw Gregg Henry on the screen (Winston), I just knew he was gonna be the bad guy. Whoops!
Definitely agree that Montgomery and Martha were excellently awesome tonight.
Did anyone else giggle when they were talking about the 'Caskett?' Hahahaha.

Oh, MAN! I missed the Casket(t) reference! I wonder if it was a coincidence??

Aw, c'mon…. now you're just being silly 
Yep, I'll join in and praise tonight's ep for the greatness of Montgomery and Martha. Really nice to see that, hope we'll get some more in the coming episodes
" /> The case was interesting, and I for sure thought it was Winston who killed her! Nice twist, but the mother was kind of a lame ending. I mean it's classic, she has to "protect the family" as it were… she had the most (her legacy) to lose. Would've been a nice twist if someone killed her because they thought her and Winston were having an affair or sth…
Anyway, it wasn't one of my favorite eps, but definitely a good one. Loved the "My Face" thing, really funny how that's true about those social networking sites, esp Facebook. You get all kinds of weird friend requests from people you haven't heard from in ages. Then you wonder "do I accept, or do I ignore?"
The only problem I had was with Perlmutter. Is he supposed to be an ass? I dunno, I just found myself getting kinda pissed at him.
Loved that magnifying glass line, though 
Overall, pretty good. Solid. Hopefully next week's will be even better.
OT: Welcome to the boards Maddarilke! 
Castle = Awesomesauce. The end.

OfflineYes, I am being silly. 
Maddarilke, who knows? It would be quite the coincidence if it were, imho. (Oh yeah, and welcome!!)
Aw, am I the only one who likes Perlmutter? Don't get me wrong, I got nothing but love for Lanie, but he's so grumpy and crotchety- he cracks me up. Castle said it best last week. "There's a reason he works with dead people." So true…

OfflineThanks for the welcome. Yeah, I agree with our mod, Ruben Santiago-Hudson was terrific in this. Solid acting, and I love how he said "dirtbag" again, nice consistency. Love his "old school" way of never letting go of a case, and doing things right. I also like how he's really seeing how well Castle & Beckett work together, and how excited Castle got that he's now "expected" to go out with Beckett to look for info.
Also really loved Ryan's little moment, where he obviously really looks up to Montgomery. Nice.

OfflineThis was another solid episode, but it actually ranks pretty low on my list of favorites. The simple reason is there was very little interplay between Castle and Beckett. I don't mind it when the story focuses on the case of the week, but I vastly prefer it when the case of the week is the secondary aspect of the episode. Basically, Castle and Beckett's relationship didn't advance at all in this episode, and I think that's a shame.
That being said, even a "weak" episode of Castle is better than everything else on TV. Jonathan Frakes did an outstanding job of showcasing characters that have had a lesser role so far, and I can't wait to see him direct another episode or two.
The halloween episode actually advanced the relationship quite a bit, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from there. I'm not sure if has been commented on before, but in the scene that Beckett interrupts Castle when he's reading the graphic novel, she slides on the desk and bumps his feet with her tush. Up until that point, when there is contact between them (such as the dancing in the episode with the jewel thieves) it is always uncomfortable for her. It was in this episode that that changed. She's comfortable enough with him to not only allow contact, but she's actually initiating it. Not only that, but they're moving into each other's personal space more and more. Enough for him to realize she smells like cherries.
It would be a shame if Castle became just another procedural, but I don't think that's going to happen. Compared to some shows, the relationship between the two characters is proceeding at a breakneck pace. As long as the writers keep that up, the fans will keep piling on.

Offlinethe captain rocked this one for sure. I found the case itself a bit confusing, so I'll just have to watch it again! I must say as a Nathan fan, he looked pretty darn nice in this episode – different somehow – maybe more relaxed and rested. I loved Martha with Facebook – such a great way to advance her character in a very real-world way. I really love all of these characters & can see how the writers are slowly building the personalities week-by week, adding just a few juicy bits to keep it interesting. We could use an episode with some serious police action that puts our heroes in some danger. This would ramp up the tension and get the action moving.
A Christmas special would be really sweet

OfflineA some of you have already mentioned…Ruben stole the show yesterday IMO. Loved MArtha and the myface account!! haha. The episode was very engaging overall.
However, where is LAnie….I'm getting worried. I like Ayre Gross (liked him since he was Adam on the sitcom "Ellen") but I want Tamala back!! I miss her scenes with Beckett.
Not a lot of say…wish there was more BEckett and Castle romance…..
