Episode 3 – Hedge Fund Homeboys

Air Date: March 23, 2009

Summary:

A once wealthy teenage boy whose family has fallen on hard times is found dead in a rowboat floating along the lake in Central Park. As Castle and Beckett try to piece together the events leading up to his death, his friends do everything in their power to thwart the investigation. As they unravel the truth from the lies, a story of betrayal and obsession emerges. Meanwhile, Castle debates whether he can leave Martha home alone while he chaperones Alexis’ class trip to Washington, DC. Martha might be an aspiring “Life Coach,” but that doesn’t mean she’s trustworthy.

How many people are watching tonight?  Episode 1 had 11.8 million viewers, Episode 2 had 11.5 – anybody's guess as to what this week will be but here's hoping that it does even better this week!  Can't wait for the news of Season 2 – I'm confident we'll hear something official before too long.  The response to the show has been very positive for the most part.

I hate not having the opportunity to watch live – I'm envious of the rest of you!

I am watching as I type. Lots of twist in this episode and much darker. I am sure we'll be hearing about Season 2 also, each week keeps getting better. How long until you get to see it? Your in Australia, right?

I thought Molly Quinn did an amazing job confessing her 'sin'. I was ready for just about anything and NF's response was perfect. I'm completely going nutz over the developing relationship there. On the other hand, I'm not so much loving the representation of Mom as an alcoholic. It's a serious addiction and I really dislike making it 'cute'. Where's the episode where that's discussed?

Did anyone else notice a lack of details present in the first two episodes that wasn’t there last night? What happened to our writer with rock star status? He told no tall tales, he filled in no gaps. We didn’t see him writing, struggling with the “business,” or him even gettingout his lap top.   Not to mention, there were no calls to the mayor or him skipping to the front of the line. I missed Castle, the blockbuster. Last night he was just some guy on a ride-along, there to help solve a crime.  Is he quitting it all and headed to the police academy?  I missed the guy who visits crime scenes for inspiration and sees murder as an opportunity for copy. Anyone else feeling the loss?

He did mention going to a Nicks game with the Mayor, and we saw him with his laptop out but he'd fallen asleep.

I know what you mean, though.  In the pilot, Kate says that he's incapable of taking anything seriously, but he seems more serious in the subsequent episodes. I miss the nine-year-old-on-a-sugar-rush. Laugh

Also, I'm wondering, if he's so famous how come nobody says anything?  Is it too much to ask that a murder suspect see him and say "OMG, Rick Castle?! Sign my chest!"  . . . or something. haha

I don't mean to be negative, though, as I'm loving it anyway. I didn't like Alexis in this episode, but other than that, I'm loving it.

I loved that his laptop screensaver was a message telling him he should  be writing!

Some people do say things about being a fan, like the medical examiner when she first meets him, most of the other references happen off-screen and we just get to hear Rick say “….. 's a fan….”  I think we'll see others react more in future epiosdes, at least I hope so, it could be funny Laugh

Thanks to all who replied. I think my expectations are pretty high at this point. I love the show. I'm telling everyone I know to watch it, so maybe I'm getting a little hypercritical…like a parent who wants to make sure my child's hair is combed and looks their best every time they make an appearance.   It's a great show. There is so much I love about it. I'm glad to have some folks to talk to about it with!

I'm concerned about what the audience is thinking too.  Why did this episode get lower raitings? 9.8, down from 11.4 last week (but those end up being adjusted down later?) Wondering if other viewers are thinking along those same lines that you pointed out, or thinking the show is too serious?  But most of the chatter I've seen online, people like the 2nd and 3rd episodes better than the pilot. And apparently people considered Rick to be a bit of  an insensitive jerk in the pilot (and I prefered him that way, not sure what that says about me!Cool)

How do you know that about the ratings? Where do you find that out?

I do wonder what the drop in ratings says about the show.  I can imagine it's hard to keep 11.4 M people happy.  I do think you can't go wrong with humor and levity, both lacking in the last episode.   I hate to harp on the writing, but I noticed episode 3 had a different writer, David Gae. Episodes 1 & 2 both credit Andrew Marlowe  (episode 1 just Andrew) and episode 2 Andrew Marlowe and Barry Schnindel.   I can't help but think that since the show is in it's infancy, they need to keep its creator at the helm. They can't afford to jeopardize his vision. (David Gae did a fine job, he just had a different vision of the character in episode 3.)  The same thing happened with Six Feet Under. (Loved that show). One could tell when the creator wrote the episode, and when he didn't. Who knows what sort of "behind the scenes" political machinations go into bringing us the finished product, but to the powers that be, I'd say  DON'T DO ANOTHER EPISODE without Andrew. I don't want this show cancelled!!!! What would I do with myself on Monday night?Wink
