Hey whoisharmonica, thanks for the post.

I like the physical comedy between the cast over action fights for this show. I do like action, but the fit might be too much to fit in.

I haven't seen Stana in any other shows/films, but she certainly seems confident in the physical scenes.  I find in this show, the action scenes (like when Beckett took down the Russian in the poker room) are shot too quickly with not enough time for us to take it in. Same with the opening scene of the Halloween special where Castle is dressing up in his Captain Mal outfit – filmed so fast with too many short bursts.  How about we get to really live the moment?  Stana is a terrific actress and I'd certainly watch her in some fight scenes any day.   the preview for next week looks good

I definately want more action and more DRAMA!  I feel like all of these actors are so capable of this but the writers just aren't giving those types of scripts to them.  I also feel like the ball has really been dropped with Beckett's mom's murder.  That could have been something great for November sweeps and it would create some great drama.  It could have been a great story arch for the whole season with them working on it little by little in every few episodes or so. 

First, they don't qualify as 'action' scenes. It's been just two arm-twistings, literally, for season 2 so far. I feel, however, that this is not where they should be going. I understand why. Building her up, and everyone else in the precinct, is the easiest, clearest thing to do. To build HIM up is what is a stretch dramatically, always was. And they get rid of any Murder She Wrote vibes (dumb cops, smart amateur detective). But they're going the other way, making the police lot so efficient, so strong and smart, let alone morally clear but that I guess is a given, they're turning them into the sort of TV cops that they mean to send up sometimes. 

What has been funny consistently is the moments when the cops are out of their depth, and they have been very clever in protecting the characters at the same time, making it part of the real life vibe. They should stick to that. 

I think if there was going to be a full on fight scene it would have to fit into the plot really, really well.

Aside from that I think it would be awesome! Not only for the in the moment action but also the aftermath make up is always fun and sometimes can be quite the challenge continuity wise (example: day after the fight: black eye. Two days later: no black eye at all), you really do have to be on your toes with stuff like that.  

I have to agree with unniw. They should take advantage of the fact she can handle knives so well, if the opportunity presented itself. 

I think a fight scene with Castle's life at stake would be cool. Beckett fighting to save Castle. Of course the trouble he is in is his own fault and she has to come get him out of it. Kind of a race against the clock kind of thing. Castle strapped to a bomb (too dramtic for castle?) and time is running out. Beckett has to take out the guy and disarm the bomb before they all blow up. Of course after taking out the guy, Beckett goes to disarm the bomb and Castle is begging her to leave him and save herself not thinking she can make it in time. Haha ok so sorda just wrote a story there…might have to use that in a fan fic!
