I didn't recognize either of them.

Well, you had to be a Firefly fan to notice one of them. And it took me a minute to recognize the other one.

 

[Missy1961]

Oh wow. That episode last night was intense! And I still don't believe that happened. If you didn't watch it last night, make sure you watch it ASAP. Wow!

I know!!!!!

24 hours later and I'm still thinking about that episode. Woah.

I gave the episode a Perfect 10.

I hated what all of the main characters were put through. But it was so dramatic that it will be sure to have major ramifications for the rest of the season and well into next season!

Yes it was very intense. I can't believe they killed her. Poor Nolan I'm sure he will feel responsible.

I'm surprised they would kill off any recurring character this early in the series!

Recurring characters are generally viewed as more expendable than the actual series regulars.

I personally believe they are setting it up so that Andersen's death ultimately has an impact on Bishop's ascension to Police Chief.

She was a series regular, not recurring. And Bishop isn't even a detective yet, so she is a long way from being captain. It was more likely done for the dramatic effect.

Happy 48th birthday, Nathan Fillion!

Anybody watch last night's episode? That replacement captain.... Yikes!

If you've read any of the Nikki Heat books, you know where my mind went.....and I wonder if the producers/writer had some fun with that.

Oooops, I totally forgot that Mercedes Mason was in the main credits. For some reason, I (mis)remembered her being listed with the guest stars.

And I didn't mean that Bishop would assume the role of captain overnight, obviously. I meant they probably are toying with that progression as part of her long-term arc, i.e. if the series manages to run 7+ seasons.

Actually.... I haven't. I have a few of Castle's books, but I haven't read them.

You should read them - they're a lot of fun.
