Firefly's Fillion Moves into Castle

[Hunter Rider]

Another fun ep this week, I think the P.I. angle is creating some great stuff with Castle and Beckett, not only on the humour side of things but in showing his resourcefulness and her pride in him. I was so glad he didn't throw a strop when she got him a client, instead taking it as it was, a helpful gesture from a supportive wife.

I'm also digging Ryan's mini Castle routine.

No ep next week but when it returns the ep looks like a great one, and I wonder if they reference his Birthday present in it.

Did Castle's client really not know it was called a USB stick or was she feigning ignorance and calling it a UBS on purpose?

Seeing how she was pointing a gun (well, not really, but whatever) at him while she still said "UBS", I don't think she was feigning anything.

Beckett's reaction when she was excepting Castle to ask for something naughty.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Another good episode, I liked that Castle twigged early to the idea he'd been used by the wife, and the twisty way things unfolded from there was great, although I guessed the lawyer was involved somewhere along the line after the look on her face when her and Cole left the precinct.

I hope Castle and Beckett end up on this Ski trip with Ryan and Espo, that would be a cool setting for a case.

Next weeks is going to be a biggie!

I have a feeling next week's episode will be a two-parter.

 

[Dr Lee]

It is...

Annoyingly the actress playing the lawyer is the same one that play's Diggle's partner in Arrow... So the moment she appeared I guessed she'd be involved.

I'm really liking the PI angle ATM, it's given the show a little breath of fresh air TBH.

 

[Dark Raven]

Yeah I thought that Lyla would be the killer. However, I thought she might be the 2nd mistress and not someone out for revenge.

I think Castle might quit the PI business soon though. He already seems to be having doubts about it.

When have this serial killer team shown in the preview played before?

It's 3XK and his plastic surgeon partner.

It's 3XK and his plastic surgeon partner.

Oh is it? They take so long following up between episodes all the time that by the time they do so I've forgotten what 3XK looks like.

And how come your avatar is never showing these days?

It is showing, maybe you need to clear your cache?

 

[Dark Raven]

I dunno. I've cleared it several times in the last week and it wasn't showing before or after that. Everyone else's avatars work but yours.

My god, this is brilliant. Seriously, 3XK might just be my favorite bad guy in a tv-show ever.

 

[Dr Lee]

Good freaking God.... The 3XK stuff is bloody intense... So glad they've used this guy sparingly and not worn out his character with overuse.

Still can't listen to that lovely song without chills...

EDIT - just seen the promo for next week.... HOLY ****!!!!!

 

[Nathan]

This was a blood pumping episode.

 

[Dr Lee]

Holy mother of ****ing hell that was.... AWESOME!

That stare.... Oh Stana, that stare.... Chilling...

Fillion was ****ing badass.

Best episode this season

 

[carrrnuttt]

That was better than two seasons of The Following.

 

[Jostru]

Yeah, that was definitely my favorite episode of Castle yet. The conclusion was goddamn brilliant. Wow, just, wow.

Kinda sad to know 3XK is gone forever though. This most likely also rules him out as the one responsible for Castle's disappearance.

It's also weird when you realize that the 2 biggest villains of the show are out of the picture now. Bracken is in jail and 3XK is dead. I wonder how long the show will continue from here, seeing how there hasn't been any villain introduced from that level past seasons. I could see them quitting after a potential eighth season.

 

[Asr]

The combined two-parter was some of the best TV ever, period. And 3XK along with Dr. Nieman were some of the best creepy villains ever, I'm disappointed that they were both offed. It could've been awesome to keep one or both of them for another episode down the line.

Stana was on Kimmel tonight as well and looked really hot.

 

[Hunter Rider]

That was a brilliant conclusion to the story, I loved seeing Castle in a different light, it was even more intense than when he went looking for Alexis in Europe. Even though I knew it wasn't Beckett shot to bits in the chair the way they played that scene got to me as Castle reacted so distraught and you felt for him regardless of your mind telling you it's not her.

I thought the way Castle went on the offensive, used his writing brain and played a clever cat & mouse reverse with 3XK was classic and so well executed, especially the final dialogue between the two before the shot and then the cut to Espo with the smoking sniper rifle.

I don't think Beckett has ever had so little dialogue and so few scenes in an ep before but all of them were tense and chilling, I thought the way they didn't actually show her killing Nieman but instead we simply saw her grab her and then from behind with the blood dripping off her hand and the scalpel was really effective, less is more. Annie Wersching was really cold and creepy as Nieman, a very different role for her.

I think the fact Beckett didn't go rushing to Castle but simply rested against him when they reunited was another good choice, and the fact the whole thing had affected her as opposed to some jolly ending or her swaggering out like a badass made it all the more impactful, the final scene with her and Castle illustrates why they are the best TV couple in a LONG time in my view, they feel genuine and the way they talked was like real people, not overly wordy character types..

This is my favourite show on TV and this may have been it's fienst hour to date!

 

[Hunter Rider]

Next week switches it up with a lighter ep that has another fun and inventive looking case set up.

I am going to be honest, I didn't like these episodes at all really. I loved all the other 3XK episodes, so I was very disappointed here. I am all for the convoluted and crazy on this show, but things just got too stupid here. Like really, really stupid. It reminded me of the awful CIA two-parter from season 4, not the fantastic Papa Castle twofer from season 5. Too much depended on stupidity of what are suppose to be very bright human beings.

I also now feel like they have no idea what Castle did while he was gone, and are now going to have to make it up as they go along.
