Firefly's Fillion Moves into Castle

[Dr Lee]

i was asking as the guy who plays Josh was the baddie in the epi last night...

 

[Hush]

Interesting as we had Senator Kelly as a villian in this weeks episode.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Canceled.

Nathan Fillion tweeted that the show had been canceled and he's hoping for a movie project.

 

[Dr Lee]

Erm.... seen the date today mate?


April Fools day.... the day people prank each other...

 

[Franklin Richards]

Yeah. And I was playing along till you pooped on the parade.

 

[Dr Lee]

well... i loathe April Fools Day with a passion..... so it's not a good idea to try and pull a prank on me or near me....

 

[Hush]

Yeah that would be about my sympathies on the holiday too Dr Lee.

 

[Dr Lee]

Yeah that would be about my sympathies on the holiday too Dr Lee.

Don't get me wrong... i love a good prank (Especially when done to other people) every now and again....

but to have 36 hours (Effectively) of having to watch your back EVERYWHERE is bloody irritating and tiring....

 

[Hunter Rider]

Loved this weeks ep, it started out like it was going to be a more comical one but actually developed into an intricate mystery, the show does this better than any other in the genre IMO

It's also interesting to note another Castle/Alexis sub plot, I wonder if she will get into a case soon.

Trailer for next weeks:

I hope the new partner guy is a one week only deal.

Hunter, you have an awesome avvy !

Anyone read the actual nikki heat books? Got the first one today though the mail!

That Rick Castle is a sly fox telling Kate he'd never seen forbidden planet classic.

Yeah, it was a smooth play by Castle.

I knew I recognized them both from somewhere!

I don't think so; at least not directly. Rather, I think the show's driving in the part that Castle is a father and has a family; as aspect that most forensic shows don't really feature. This helps the show be more unique by showing/developing subplots others can't really do. For instance, take a look at how they did the dirty bomb episodes, with Castle getting Martha and Alexis out of town; CSI, Bones, NCIS, etc wouldn't have been able to do that and if they did, it wouldn't have the same impact.

 

[Dr Lee]

I'm just getting a white box Hunter, can i get a direct link?

 

[Dr Lee]

I thought they'd go down that route with a Cannell memorial reference... nicely done IMHO...

Spoiler

So Micheal Knight Jr killed the swimmer...

Jealous Castle is... intriguing... and sneaky

and what was with the double meanings at the end... and that look? laying the 'ship' on a bit thick there....

 

[Assassin]

so...someone might get killed in the season finale? who do ya'll think it is?

 

[Assassin]

oh yea..source

[Dr Lee]

I KNEW I recognized him from somewhere! The different hair, and him looking noticeably slimmer was really throwing me off!!!

 

[Matt]

Can't kill off Martha. Changes the family dynamic of Castle too much, which is one of the things that makes the show unique.

My money is on Lanie. She's Beckett's best friend, Esposito's girlfriend, and close friend to Castle. Really rattles the dynamic of the show. Perhaps Montgomery. It would be interesting to see a captain who has no tolerance for Castle or his shenanigans. But his increased focus this season implies to me that the writers have really started to gel with the character and wouldn't kill him off just yet (or perhaps they have increased his focus to endear him to the audience to make his death more meaningful).

I liked the ending. I don't think one can really complain about "laying the ship on too thick." Castle is built around the Beckett/Castle relationship. Its like complaining that the writers of Cheers focused too much on Sam and Diane.

I don't think its outside the realm of possibility simply because it was done once before with Alexis being in the Evidence Room and helping solve a cold case.

Yeah when I hear people say that I just wonder, have you been watching the show for all 3 years? This happens in like every episode and it is in part what keeps us coming back.

 

[Matt]

The more that I think about the death, the more I am leaning towards Martha. Castle losing his mother in the same way that Beckett lost hers is very fitting from a thematic stand point. It cements their partnership even further and helps their bond grow.

 

[Marvolo]

Alexis would be the most devistating for Castle, but they may not have enough balls to do that. Esposito and Ryan function as one character in two parts so if you kill one you essentially kill the other from a character standpoint. Lanie could work as it would put stress on the whole team. Gina would definitely effect Castle as would Martha. Gina dying would also clear the way for Castle and Beckett hooking up. The Captain's death would open the doors for a potential Captain who despises Castle adding a new dynamic to the show. So pretty much they are all up for grabs except maybe Alexis.

 

[KenK]

Killing Alexis kills the show. Nothing's more devastating than a parent losing a child. This would be a death that would irrevocably change Castle from the character he is.

Yeah, I think they'd have a hard time having Castle act happy-go-lucky with Alexis' death looming above him. The two characters with the least impact on the ongoing [and winning] chemistry of the show would be Gina or Lanie, so I think it's either one of them. With Lanie dying being a much bigger impact on the whole crew than Gina's death would, I'd vote for Lanie being the goner.

 

[Dr Lee]

I think it'll be Martha or Montgomery.... the latter being the better one as it would bring in a captain who isn't so happy with Castle's input
