Next week will be insane!

I predict that Castle, Espo & Ryan solve the case. That they prove they are just as good as where she is now, even though they aren't as high profile or prestigious. And Beckett realizes she doesn't really want to be in that Task Force in D.C. with all their rules & regulations, where they lock up Castle and she can't talk to him about cases anymore. That part of what made her life work WAS what she had before with Castle, Espo & Ryan.

And here we go again with a film noir homage. This time it is the classic noir film D.O.A.: [Dir. by Edmund Mate, 1950.]

What I found to be the most interesting thing was the change in Katic's body language when she was with Fillion. Once the proposal scene was past, she was noticeably more relaxed and open at all times, with an obviously affectionate demeanor (even, to an extent, in the scenes where she was truly annoyed with him). In the past she always had a certain physical tension that conveyed wariness, and now that is gone. I have to hand it to her for the subtlety; TEM was right about Katic's ability to use her body to convey quite a lot even without speaking.

I also loved the banter about the size of the ring -- pretty soon that chain around her neck is going to give her a stoop if she keeps loading such heavy bling onto it!

Also, I was glad to see the 12th's IT specialist back again; I really like her.
(You KNOW that the boys were never fooled that the serial number was random, but the lure of those Knicks tickets was impossible to resist.)

One other note: I think that there may be a serious twist ahead having to do with the mysterious Pi. "I ... lost my passport." Right; he's in NYC and he is obviously American; all he has to do is apply for a replacement; he could get it in two days. However, if he had his Netherlands resident visa revoked for some reason, that would be entirely another story. (Note that he said that he LIVED in Amsterdam, not that he was from there. Could this be a reverse reference to Frozen Heat? Petar was Dutch, after all.) Right now he is just comic relief, but I suspect that there may turn out to be more to him in the end.

I thought of that film too when we got to the end. I did see an interesing comment on a website (I don't think this is true, but I did like it). A viewer thought that maybe Castle wasn't infected, but the government is telling him he was knowing he'll investigate and then they can get the antidote.

The relationship stuff between Kate & Rick was #1 on my list of loves from that episode. (there's more of course, I'll share later.) The discussion before & after the proposal/acceptance, the easy "I love you" from Kate, the reunion & then the morning after were all perfect.

I think Pi is Alexis' way of acting out. At the very least he can annoy the heck out of Castle.

And wasn't Petar Croatian, not Dutch?

BTW, since this thread is labeled spoilers welcome, you don't have to go crazy covering them up. I usually wait to post stuff the next day to give people a chance to view, but I figure if people are reading here they don't care about spoilers. And anyone who subscribes can see them in the body of the email.

a small sneak peek:

Click on "antidote preview" to see it.

And I meant to share a funny story. My dad doesn't watch Castle, but since I have no one else to talk to about it, he lets me babble on about it. So this morning I'm telling him how Rick has less than a day left but of course he won't die, when he says "Maybe they will kill him off and Kate can marry Esposito!".

 

[NotUrsula]

Men are funny, are they not?

I was mentioning to my DH how Kate's demeanor had gotten so much less guarded and more open and upbeat after the engagement, and his immediate reply was, "Well, THAT's going to tick off a lot of working women. The road to happiness is through a man?"

You're right; Petar was Croatian; my mistake. (BTW, Last night I would have loved to see Katic reply to the terrorist in Russian during the alley scene.She could have done it easily, and it would have been great fun to see "Kate" show off her language skills.)

As for the "fake infection" theory, I don't think so, either. Even Marlowe knows that is too out of line with reality. ANYTHING smacking of bio-warfare would cause the Feds to go into very protective mode, locking out any non-essential personnel. If it happened IRL, the odds are they would just let the victim die, then send in the CDC to claim the body for epidemiological risk reasons. (Also, it was interesting to me that ABC (temporarily at least) pulled "Still" after the marathon bombing because the subject matter was too close to reality, but didn't do the same with this in light of the Syrian situation.)

FWIW, I only do the white print thing for two days when it is a major plot point, then I go back and switch it. I figure in this thread two days is plenty of time to get to your DVR. ;-)

PS: WHAT was the deal with Yancey Arias' face? He looked almost like he was wearing a mask. Botox gone wrong?

 

[chirurgeon]

I don trust Yancy Arias's character. He always plays a villain. And his part was so small, if he wasn't, they paid too much for the character.
