I was thinking that myself while watching that bar fight preview. It is funny b/c I generally am not one for fight scenes at all. lol

whoisharmonica said:I feel like with an actress like Stana, who is not only great at the dramatic stuff, but physical stuff (see: Stiletto or the scene where Beckett took down a gangster to save Castle in the poker room), there should be some more "action scenes." I want to see her kick some butt.  Anyone out there feel that way, too, or am I crazy?  

I'm right there with you.

It's always a pleasure to see Beckett kick butt. Stana has some martial arts training and her take downs are smooth and fast. I would like to see a scene where Beckett loses her gun in a fight, or runs out of bullets and has to take the assailant down with hand to hand combat.

*That* would be awesome!

Another good movie with good Stana fight scene's is the Librarian The Curse of The Judas Chalice. There were at least 2 if I remember correctly. But they were awesome and I would love to see an all out fight on Castle. Doesn't have to be all the time just every once in a while.

I'd like to see her taking a knife from some suspect, and then casually flipping it around, like in the Jimmy Kimmel interview. When she wasn't showing the Navy moves, that knife was flipping around in her hand, totally unconscious. Badass chick.

Twice now she's taken a knife away from some messed up girl, and both times she's just put/kicked the knife away.  -disappointed

Good Forum question – you made me think. 

For me, I like knowing that Beckett’s character has many facets.  Season 1, they had to establish that she is a smart/strong/tough, no nonsense Detective – which was great because Castle could “play” off the seriousness of her “detecting”.  This season, we are seeing (I believe) more of Kate herself (her vulnerabilities, bath tub scene etc).  I think it would be hard to go from say the “bathroom caught-ya scene” (which was hilarious to me) to physically taking down the “bad guys” (which in Season 1 she demonstrated several times and as stated above a couple of times this season). 

Personally, I believe Stana could “take any of us” (seriously) – but I’d rather the “fight” be over Castle this season and am looking forward to the additional romantic tension with the “future” Alyssa episode.  I have no doubt in the expansion of each character the writers/directors/actors are conscious of the fact that Beckett is still the same S1 Detective but stretching her/us for future episodes. Action, Stana  can definitely do as well as comedy and romance – her timing (to me) is perfect.  Can’t wait to see what our favorite writing team comes up with next for Stana to show us as Kate Beckett.

This kind of made me laugh b/c um… duh! lol  I certainly don't know how to kill people with knives and my martial arts training ends at about age 12 so yeah, she could kill me with fairly little effort.

I'd read it!!

I agree about having more action scenes with Stana. Matter of fact I WOULD LOVE it if there was a sparring scene with Stana and Tamala just being girls getting out energy. That would be hilariously awesome to hear them talking girl talk about the guys and throwing punches. Or to have Stana spar with Esposito or Ryan.

After that I definately agree she should run out of bullets in a scene and do hand to hand combat. How cool would that be!
