and don't forget there is a new episode tonight - looks really good!

I'm hoping for some back story on Lanie. She is actually the biggest mystery in the show, if you think about it: we know she's an ME, we know that she's single and straight, and we know that she has a goofy tattoo on her hip -- but absolutely NOTHING else about her background.

Was she married before? Did she ever have children? Was she a scholarship kid? Does she still have parents? The possibilities are endless.

"Last Action Hero" was a fun episode, and I enjoyed it. Not a top 20, but still lots of fun. The B story was almost a bit more interesting.....

loved:
Castle's disappointment on finding out his hero was not in the Spanish CIA. And Kate's eye roll and "oh, my God" when he reacts to the fact that Tory has found out something

Castle & the guys watching the movies, and Kate catching them

Castle & the poster. First saying that he had it on his wall for "about a minute" (when he sees Kate's reaction) and then asking the guys if they think she'll sign it and Ryan asking "when? on her way to jail?"

Castle fangirling when he meets the actor. And being thrilled that the guy reads his books, even if it's in the bathroom.

Ryan trying to come up with a catch phrase

Castle's reaction when he's asked to join them for drinks, and him telling Kate about it. Her teasing him, him calling her his "boyhood dream" but then continuing to talk, and her telling him to stop talking

Castle in the car when he finds out what's really going to happen. "My wife is a cop & she'll kill me!"

Castle with the sleeves ripped off his shirt (be still my heart, Nathan's arms are wonderful!) and the headband he made out of the shirt. Him walking with the others, but reacting to the explosion.
and that got a shout out from TV Line (no. 7): http://tvline.com/2014/12/05/grimm-season-4-nick-juliette-adalind-sex-pervy-tv-questions-answers/

the Kate/Lanie scene in her apartment

the ending scene when Kate carves her initials.

At the crime scene, when Ryan asks what else Lance has done lately and Castle says "beat cancer"

When they pull off the heist, and the actor wants to kick in the door, but Castle stops him & checks it first.

I liked the scene with them packing up her kitchen - he looked adorable in her beret & scarf. Loved the exchange about the skillet.

And then he said why he didn't like her apartment, which set off a lot of fans. And while I don't disagree with them, I think it was the writers who wanted a scene between Lanie & Kate instead of Rick & Kate.

All in all, a fun episode and I really enjoyed it. One more new episode, and then a repeat of "Driven" before the mid-season hiatus.

Up until a few weeks ago, couldn't get the family to watch Castle with me. Went ahead and bought seasons 1-6 on Amazon and both of the kids have been binge-watching Castle.

It's so neat to see the earlier episodes again!

 

[Missy1961]

I've watched some of those episodes so many times I have entire lines of dialogue memorized! Love seeing how their relationship developed too.

I just realized I didn't put my guesses here.

1. Espo & Lanie will break up. Maybe we'll find out why she hasn't wanted more tonight. Or maybe we won't, but they will break up.

2. The game changer is ------ Castle will be told he can't follow Beckett anymore. Maybe because of something that happens with his mob connections, maybe he does something stupid. I don't think it will be his choice. And then we'll have to wait and see if he decides to fight to come back or just sneak around or stays away to investigate what happened to him those 2 months he was missing......

Of course, all my guesses about the season finale were wrong. so who knows?

DING DING DING!!!!! We have a winner!

Seriously, how did you guess something so close? I was like . I did NOT see that coming. And I don't get it. Castle has had mob connections before. Why was this one different?

[tcufrog]

This was different because the dirty cop got shot while in custody.

 

[Missy1961]

This was different because the dirty cop got shot while in custody.

Exactly! and he didn't solve a case for the mob. They thought they had the killer (Christopher) and Castle's promise to the mob boss uncovered a dirty cop, who then got killed.

and it was a lucky guess once I heard more about the episode. First I thought he might come back soon, but after seeing that promo, maybe he won't. It might be fun to see him driving them crazy for a bit.
