Topic: Castle - Spoiler

[Dragonfire]

Ok....episode is over and I watched.  Still...processing I guess you could say. 
I'm not as annoyed, irritated, and disappointed as I was after the finale, but I'm not really happy just yet either.

(click to show/hide)

There was more stuff I didn't care for than stuff I did overall I think. 
Esposito straight into thinking Rick was behind the disappearance...still acting like an ass about it 2 months later.  Grrrrr.
I do not like how it was made to look like Rick was behind what happened and that he was lying at first when he said he didn't remember stuff.  And Amnesia?  Really?  I do not like how Kate was doubting Rick....not one bit.  Yes they got past that, but I still don't like it. 
At least Alexis didn't throw a hissy fit.  Unless that is coming in the next episode.  Makes me wonder if there was a deleted scene or two or if Molly just made up stuff.

However...Rick is home..woo hoo.  And we are on the way to the mess they created being fixed.  So that's good.  I will feel better once stuff is a tad more resolved...not that we need to know all the answers and stuff...maybe just a bit more...and they get back to the point where they can just be happy together again.

I will write more later..I need to think on some of this a bit more.  I'll probably write something for my blog too.

Hm, interesting episode. Dont know how many times i will rewatch it tho. Prolly just once. Not a bad episode at all. But not the best. I really enjoyed Stana. She was amazing! Her facial expressions. Wow! Well, she didnt doubt Rick until the end, with all the evidence. So i kinda do understand that she had some doubt. With all that evidence, him trowing away the 10K in the dumbster? Ofc she had her reasons. Looked like him was there. And even tho Kate should trust Rick, there is a line between trusting your love. And being naiv. She has to follow the evidence. And Rick got alot of explaning to do. He's been gone for 2 months, dont remember jack? Its weird. But i know 100% that its a reason behind it all. Andy & Co got a plan with all this. And it will be interesting to see what happens with this story. And how Rick will be when he's back in the precinct. And how he reacts when he starts to remember whats going on. But it was a good start to a interesting story. And for the hissy fit and Alexis, this was the 1st episode of a total of 23 or something? There a long season yet, where she can have her hissyfits. Alot can happen still with the story. Something can up tied to this story in episode 20, and stuff happens. And she snaps. You never know. It will be one hell of a ride. Maby a bumby ride somewhere, but one hell of a ride.
Enjoy it, i know i will. Interesting times going ahead. We got alot of questions still unanswered. But i'm not worried we will get our answers in due time. And we will get a satisfying end to it all.

First, I did get something posted on my tv blog  -  Castle Season Seven Premiere is Full of Twists

(click to show/hide)

It wasn't a great episode, but it wasn't horrible either.  Right now, I don't see myself watching it again that much.  Maybe my feelings will change once we learn a little more. 

It seemed to me that Kate was battling doubts from very early on...especially after that video with the dumpster.  And while I can see from a...hmm...more logical point of view that the doubts make sense, that doesn't mean I like it.  Really, what I don't like about this situation, and therefore the story - at least as it stands right now -  is how it is set up to make it look like Rick was being a lying, sneaky...louse who is messed up in who knows what.  I don't like that the writers chose to put in the stuff that make it look like Rick was behind it all for whatever reason.  I can't help it...I'm just not liking that aspect of the story at all, and that is causing me to not like other parts of the episode. 
 
I know we don't know everything at this point.  Hell, we barely know a drop in the bucket.  There has to be an explanation because even when he was at his most...childish, Rick would not set out to deliberately hurt anyone - which is what his willingly leaving and vanishing for 2 months would do - the three most important people in his life....Kate, Alexis, and Martha.  Rick didn't even want to upset his ex wives once those relationships ended.  Stuff just isn't making sense with that aspect right now. 

Yes I know Alexis could still have a hissy fit.  I thought of that later...remember I made that first post shortly after the episode ended and I was still thinking and processing stuff.  Remember back earlier in the episode, after they found the video with the money drop, Kate went to talk to Martha and Alexis and was questioning them.  Alexis asks something..can't remember exactly what now, but something along the lines of you don't believe dad would have done this himself...something like that.  After a short hesitation, Kate says no.  So I could totally see in a future episode, Alexis lashing out at Kate and throwing that back in her face.  Not saying I want to see that happen.  Just that I won't be surprised if it does happen.

I really and truly didn't hate this episode.  I'm not saying that I'm fed up with the show or that I'm stopping watching.  I'm just not overly fond of certain aspects of the story.  At least right now.  I do want to know what the hell is going on..who took Rick?  Why did they take him?  Where was he?  Why was he shot?  Who shot him?  Why was he somewhere tropical - him having antibodies to dengai fever - no clue how to spell that.  What is that key that Lanie found to and why was it hidden in Rick's jeans?  How did Rick get away?  Or did the people who took him set him adrift in that dinghy after they were done with him?   

[Dragonfire]

There is a little interview thing posted in the general season 7 spoiler thread at the Castle board.  You have to look closely, but there is a spoiler in there...and it has made me oh so happy. 

(click to show/hide)

I know I have read a few things that seemed to indicate this would be coming somewhat early in the season, but after how the premiere seemed to leave some ...lingering doubts with Kate, I'm just glad to actually see something that shows they get past the doubt stuff sooner rather than later.  Not that I really thought the writers or Marlowe were lying or anything.  It is just nice to see...evidence of it.

[Piffi]

I didnt see it like that. I didnt see Kate have doubts early on. I saw a women that just lost the love of her life. And wasnt quite sure how to deal with it all. She's always (or at least the last 6-7 years) had Rick there to help her, when she got stuck with a case or was in doubt about something. And he's been there for her when she needed someone. And now her rock is gone. Kidnapped. Without a trace of evidence or a sign. And after two months and those kind of evidence is coming up. I would think about things too. But her doubt didnt last long tho. And you could see how happy she was when she saw Rick in the hospital. And she decided to belive his story. Not everyone would do that, 2 months gone. And with all those framed evidence against you. But that just shows her love to Rick. I think Rick is the first person she actually truly really loves. I dont think Kate has loved anyone like this before. Or loved anyone for that matter.

Alexis is starting to grow up. She is a women now. And she's always been very protective over Rick. Always been. And when something like this happens to the one you love the most people react differently. Its been alot on Alexis' plate now. And i think we might see a reaction on that a bit later in the season. I think there is alot of untold stories yet about this new chapter.

And for the answers we never got in this episode, who did what. Why did they do it? How did Rick come to the boat? Who tried to shoot him? I think that is questions we will get answered trough out the season. I think some of the answers will shock us. And some of the answers will we never seen coming etc.
I think it will be one hell of a season. Will be a great ride i'm sure.


And yes i saw that big spoiler! Did he show us that ring on purpose? Because thats a real big spoiler. IF it means that they are married all ready. But if they are married before its been 5-6 episodes in the season. Kudos. That will make alot of fans happy.
I dont know if Nathan is married (since it was behind the scenes kinda thing.) And it was Nathan's ring? Or if it was Rick's ring. And they got married allready.

I do think there is the potential for some interesting stuff with what they did.  That being said, I'm still not happy with how they chose to ....put it in motion.  I'm not sure I ever will be.  Never mind that he was taken just before the wedding...the way stuff was set up after that causing pretty much everyone to doubt him..I don't like.  It feels like a few step back..for just about everyone really.  After they found that video of Rick dumping the money in the dumpster, Espo immediately decides that Rick was behind it all.  Ryan kept pointing out that there could be other explanations.  Kate seemed to be having some doubts there too.  Said how it was Rick for sure because of how he was moving..his clothes..etc.  The way she asked stuff when she was talking to Martha and Alexis after that.  I know when Alexis asked, Kate said she didn't think Rick would do that, but there was just something in the...way she was approaching it I guess that made it seem like, at least to me, that doubts were popping up.  That part didn't bother me too much overall though.  Once Rick was found and they found the trailer and talked to that fake Jenkins guy..and the tent...  Once she saw stuff in the tent like it watch and clothes, it seemed like she stopped believing then.  Never mind that they didn't stop to think that stuff could have been staged.  When she took Rick back to where the tent was, she was front confrontational, even basically yelling at him to just tell her the truth.  It wasn't until they went to the trailer and she discovered that the guy she talked to the day before who said Rick had been camping there was a fake, did she change her opinion a bit.  I think there are still a few lingering doubts.  There was some awkwardness there in the last scene in the bedroom.  Not that I think that means they are doomed or can't work it out.  Not saying that in any way shape or form.  That is just how it looks to me at this point in the story.  I'm not even saying that any of the doubts are unreasonable given this situation.  I just don't like that the story is being told in a way that causes those doubts to happen.  To me, there is a setback in the relationship.  Not huge or one that they can't get past..but still a setback.  Smallish setback.  And I hate to see that even if it is temporary.  

And also...some of the stuff going on doesn't really fit for it Rick had wanted to vanish.  We know he does extensive research for all sorts of things for books and he has connections.  If he had truly wanted to vanish, there wouldn't have been clues left behind.  He wouldn't have camped out with a tent full of stuff connected back to him.  Stuff just wasn't adding up for Rick to have really been behind it, but some of them didn't pick up on the odd stuff...especially Espo.  Ryan is usually better at catching that stuff, but he didn't either.  I think whoever took Rick doesn't know him as well as they think they do.

That is true about Alexis.  I just hope if something does boil over so to speak with her later that it isn't as annoying as the ...Pi situation.  

I think several of the answers will take a while to uncover.  And I'm ok with that.  I just don't want the other characters to keep doubting Rick the entire time.

I'm not sure if he flashed the ring on purpose or if it just happened because it was between takes.  Maybe it was on purpose to see if fans would catch it since it isn't really focused on.  You just see it a few times as he is moving his hands.  It wasn't like he held up the hand to the camera and said look at this.  So it was on purpose, I think it was meant to be kind of subtle.  There was some speculation on the other board that they were filming episode 7 when that little bit was filmed...which could fit in with how many seem to think the wedding is in episode 6..and episode 6 is the one that same of the cast and writers have said will be a fan favorite.  And Terri is writing episode 6.  Nathan is not married, so it has to be Rick's and they are married.  There was the one little bit that showed Kate hanging up the phone ..it was kind of blurry, but I think she has on a ring too..  So I think they are married.  I saw something else yesterday that said they would be married before the end of the year.  

Oh I almost forgot.  Did you see where someone posted the ratings at the other site?  Castle won the time slot.     Think it was said it is the highest premiere ratings ever for the show.

[Piffi]

(click to show/hide)

Yep, i saw the ratings! And after 6 seasons, thats ofc great news! That means that AM & Co does a great job each and every day! Kudos to them and the crew.
So lets just hope that Nathan renews his contract. His contract expires after S07. ABC should pay Nathan the amount he wants. Because of those numbers are just gold for ABC. As long as the ratings are great and Nathan\Stana still wants to continue, i dont see a reason why not? I think its most on Stana and Nathan now. But personally i think they will renew their contracts.

Just a quick note when it comes to Espo and Ryan.. Its a reason why Ryan is called "Castle Jr" Ryan have always been a Castle guy. Beliving his theories, having his back etc. And Espo have always been a Beckett guy. Who doesnt care for all those theories all the time. And almost always only listens to the cold hard facts and the evidence. He doesnt like all the nonsense Rick is known to be making from time to time. But Ryan does. And that makes for great tv. And thats why i think Espo was so quick to judge Rick, because he's always been the first to blame Rick for something. Remember S05 when 3XK was trying to frame Rick for murder? Espo was the first one there aswell.. I just think its how he is. And how he works. Besides, Kate is a better friend to Espo than Rick is. And Ryan is a better friend for Rick than what Espo is. I think Espo would follow Kate to the grave if nessesary. He is lojal as a dog to her. "What she says goes"
And Kate is just being Kate. What she did in the episode was in character. Hey look, it took Rick 4 years to warm up to her. It took a long time. She obv got some trust issues, and other issues they are working trough. IMHO i think they all acted in character.

But this season i think we will learn alot more about Rick. We dont know much about him yet. We know that when stuff get serious, he like to joke it away. We really dont know the reason behind it. Why he cant deal with it. And we dont really know where is interest in muders came from either. These 6 seasons we have learned so much about Kate and her story, this season we will learn Rick's story i belive. And we will also learn in episode 2 more about "who and why" when it comes to the kidnapping.


So, Rick and Kate is married in episode 06 huh? I guess thats just great news He (AM) promised us a wedding, so we will get a wedding. But since they did what they did in the seasonfinale, i think we will get a small wedding this time. With just their families. Nothing big.

There is a sneak peek out allready for the episode 2. Funny! Rick even kissed Cpt. Gates! You should check it out.

It is very good.  I just hope they stay up fairly close to that for the rest of the season.  I know they fluctuate over the course of a season.  Hopefully it won't be too much and not that many people got so annoyed that they gave up watching.  I have seen a few posts from other people - not at the board..just comments on some of the stories and such - about not being happy and being close to giving up.  Though I have also seen some that say they don't like some of what happened, but they are sticking with the show.  So hopefully there are more that will stick with it than not. 
I would hope that Nathan and Stana both would renew contracts.  Stana has done other projects during the breaks from Castle...Nathan has done a few small things too.  I think they both realize that having a successful long running show is not something to take for granted.  Nathan definitely does.  I've seen him talk about it and how grateful he is to be on a show that has lasted this long.  I've heard and seen him say more than once how nothing else he is every done has lasted this long.  He knows what is like to have shows cancelled quickly without much warning.  So I think he'd renew.  I know some people claimed that at the beginning of last year he didn't want to be there and wanted off the show or some such nonsense.  During that time, when they first started filming season 6, he was recovering from some kind of back injury and was in pain.  During those first few episodes, especially the first one, he didn't move around as much.  Like when Alexis came down to hug him, he just stood there and waited for her to get to him.  Before, he would have met her like halfway or so.  Also last year, he was part of some number at the Emmy's doing some singing and a little dancing.  Once that was over, there was a sort of long shot or something with Nathan way in the back, and he started to sort of hold or rub his back.  I don't know how he got hurt.  I think it is better now.  When I've seen him in a few things, like over the summer and all, he was moving more again and didn't seem to be in pain.

That is true that Ryan has kind of latched onto Rick more than Espo.  Ryan likes the wild theories and even has a few of his own at times.  I think, from something I read or maybe one of the extras on the first season DVD, that Ryan hadn't been working with Kate and Espo that long before Rick got involved, so Ryan was still settling in then.  Maybe.  Or it might have just been that the actor playing Ryan was the last cast and they added his scenes after they got the order to expand to a full pilot...they started off with a shorter thing and then had to add to it for the first episode.  Espo has been closer to Kate and willing to follow her anywhere...like at the end of season 4 when she went off after the sniper.  Espo got so pissed that Ryan went to Gates, never mind the fact that Kate wasn't mad and it saved her life. 

Oh I know Espo was suspicious of Rick back in Probably Cause.  I know this wasn't the first time.  I guess I'm just a little tired that it keeps happening after this long.  But it is ok for Espo to want to borrow the Ferrari or something like that...it doesn't matter if he trusts Rick or not in that case.  So I wasn't really surprised that Espo was the first to doubt Rick...though after this long it would have been nice if he had held out a little longer instead of instantly that's castle..he was behind the whole thing..blah blah. 

I know we are supposed to learn more about Rick. That will be fine.  I personally would have liked if they had started down this road differently...never mind mess up the wedding in the finale...  adding in everything to make everyone doubt him ..I just don't like that aspect of the story.

That seems to be what people think.  And Nathan is clearly wearing a wedding ring in that little interview thing.  I have no idea what episode they were filming..some guessed the 7th.  But anyway, they are married then.  I agree it will end up being smaller this time.  That's fine.  It can be in city hall...just get them married already.  lol

I saw that like 2 days ago.  I almost fell out of my chair when he kissed Gates.     I'm not sure who was more shocked....Gates, Kate, or me.

First of, sorry for my late answers.. I've been out and about.

But for Nathan's contract. There is alot of things to think about. With his current contract he's making $100.000 per episode. Wich isnt that much when you see what other people are making. David Boreanaz (Booth) is making $250.000 per episode. Asthon Kutcher is making millions per episode etc. And with the success Caste have now, with both great ratings, getting new fans etc. I would think Nathan would demand a huge raise. And he would be correct to do so aswell. And then its up to ABC to decide what to do.. Because with no Nathan, there is no Castle show. Simple as that. I too know that this is the most successful tv-show for Nathan. And i also know that he is real happy about how things are going right now. "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" was the second most successful tv-show. And that lasted for 4 season i think it was? BUT, HOWEVER. A big BUT. Nathan is doing great stuff now with Castle. They are doing some amazing work. And stuff like that get attention. Look what happend with George Clooney after he left 'ER' for the big screen. What a career that man has. And (Clooney) is my favorite actor. I dont compare Nathan and George at all. But what if he get some offers now because of Castle.. To do some movies? How does he turn that down? I hope we see Nathan and Stana on Castle for a long time.

And the same goes for Stana, (i didnt know her. Or heard about her before Castle) But she too now is doing amazing things in Castle, and have done some small movies in the summerbreak. I think she makes $75.000 or something per episode right now. And i think she too will demand a raise. And she deserve it aswell.
They are that good. And that talented. But what does she do if she get a great offer to play in a BIG movie? How does she turn down a offer like that? I'm not saying they will get movie offers or anything. But i'm saying 'What if'

I know that AM&Co said a few seasons back that they a story to tell. A story that could last for atleast 8 seasons. And now we are in the 7th. And Nathan have said himself that he thought 8 seasons would be perfect for Castle. And i know AM said something about lasting or ending after season 8. But i hope (ofcourse) that both Stana and Nathan renews their contracts. Atleast for a year. I think that is what most usual to do when the show are in the last stretch of the show. I think they will atleast sign on for a S08. Because i think both Stana and Nathan is so proffesional, and will finish the show the best way possible.
But now we got atleast one more season in S07. Wich will just be great. I think we will know alot more about a S08 when S07 is near done. I personally think it might be done after S08. I think that might be the final season. Dont know why. But i just think so.




The next episode is looking like a mix. A mix between some oldschool Castle. (funny etc) Rick kissing Gates. That will make for some great tv. I hope.. And i've seen another sneak peek. A more serious one, and about what happend. I'm looking forward to see what will happen.

[Dragonfire]

Stana was in a Bond movie before Castle.  She was in Quantum of Solace I think it was.  I don't know what either of them will do, but I hope they want to stick around.  Because really, leaving a successful show is a gamble.  For every Clooney that it worked for, there are many others, like that David Curoso or whatever his name is who left NYPD and it didn't work.   I don't know that either of them have gotten huge role offers recently, but they have both been able to do some things around Castle.  They could even do bigger parts in the breaks..others have done that.  Hollywood can be fickle and just because someone was popular on a show doesn't mean they will be in another one or in movies.  Personally, I think it would be smart to stick with the steady work until the show is truly over.  Heck, even the one woman from CSI left a few years ago - Catherine...can't remember the actress's name at the moment - and she's tried one or two other shows since then that went nowhere.

I have no idea what either of them make per episode but with how consistent the show has been, I think it makes sense that they both would get raises.  Heck even the others should get raises.  Hopefully ABC will do that.  Before Castle, nothing they put on Monday nights did anything, so they should want to keep it around I think.  But you never know with networks.  I think I read different times last year that Marlowe was saying there were stories to go beyond 10 seasons.  Which would be just fine with me. 

The next one does look like it will still have some serious stuff, Rick getting more focused on what the hell happened to him, but has some of the silly too.
I tried to watch one other sneak that looked more serious, but the sound didn't work, so I couldn't hear squat.  I think Rick was asking what did I do and Kate said I don't know.  But I don't know.
I did see another that shows Rick trying to do an interview for the books and the woman doing it is going after him saying this was just a publicity stunt to drive up book sales..then Rick offers a reward for information, which ties into why the switchboard at the police station was going nuts and Gates was pissed.  And even why he planted one on her.  He's happy they have potential leads.     

[Dragonfire]

I won't say much now since I need to try to get some sleep..have to be up early in the morning. 
I am happier this week than I was last week...and mostly feel better about where stuff is going.

(click to show/hide)

Why in the hell would Rick want to forget?  And how could Rick think that he would be ok with losing 2 months?  What the heck happened?  And what did he tell Fake Jenkins happened in the woods when he was a kid - I thought Fake Jenkins said he was 10, but I can't remember now..have to watch again.  Just know Rick said he never told anyone else.  They better not make it where Rick did something horrible as a kid.  Witnessed a murder that he never reported or something like that, ok.  But he better not have done something horrible.  I will not like that at all.  I don't know that I believe Fake Jenkins about Rick wanting to forget.  Unless he did that as a way to get away, knowing he'd left some clues for himself and Kate that would prompt him to find the truth.  And Fake Jenkins knowing about whatever happened in the woods doesn't necessarily mean that Rick willing shared that despite what Fake Jenkins said.  Hypnosis or some kind of drug could have been involved.  Truth serum or something. 

I like that we got a few answers...what the key was for..part of where he was - Montreal, though still no explanation why.  Kate got to see the video he made for her.  That should get rid of her doubts about him wanting to skip out on the wedding or that he willingly did any of it.  He said he had no choice.  It didn't answer many questions, but it at least should settle that.  I think Kate seemed a little more..hmm...accepting of it all after that I guess.  So that's good.  While I would have been fine if she took him up on getting married the next day - well mostly..I would like the wedding, however it is, to be in an episode - I also get why she didn't agree to it.  It is good that she said what she was feeling again..back to more like it was with them last season.  and her mention of a month adds to the speculation of people thinking they get married in episode 6..the timing would be right.  Which will be good.  They are already on the way to getting back to normal.  Maybe a little more will come out between now and episode 6.  I'm guessing they want to try to drag a lot of this stuff out...that can be ok, I just don't think I'd want it to come up in every episode.  Once in a while ok.  And when it comes up, at least a little progress should be made. 

Next week's episode looks to be even more back to normal for them.  An invisible killer...Rick is gonna love that.  It looked interesting in the little preview anyway. 

I think that is it for now.  I'll probably write up something for my blog too.

I'm sorry again that i'm late to the party. Way to much going on lately. Havent been on the computer much. Been working, and got home for some sleep. And rewind, and do it all again.

Anyways, over to the show and the cast.

Stana was in the Bond movie yes. She was in the last scene. He had screentime for only 1 minute if i remember correctly. And she didnt even have a line. Poor thing.
But after she started in Castle, she got some more parts in more movies. But her heart is for Indy movies. So she's done alot of those  i know.
Stana is in her prime. She is amazing in Castle. She's hot as hell. And she is a' amazing actress with really great things ahead for her. When season 7 is over, and the contracts need to be renewed. I really hope ABC will give Stana and Nathan the raise they both deserve. But if Stana decide to NOT renew her contract, the tv-show would be over. Stana (Kate) is just as important to the Castle show as Nathan is. But i hope and think she will get her raise. I think ABC see her value. But look at Jennifer Aniston right now. She's doing "great" on the big screen. And i think Stana would do the same. But all in due time.
Yeah, i know that even if you are doing great on a tv-show, i dont have to have a great movie career. Look at Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe from frineds) What have she done after Friends?




Same goes for Nathan, i think he will get his raise and new contract aswell. If he wants to continue that is. And i'm with you Marie (i really hope both of them continue)
Castle is my favorite on tv right now. I hope they would run for 10seaons ++. Just look at Friends. My favorite show. Period.
I'm not saying Nathan is a new Clooney at all. But Clooney was great in 'The E.R' and then he decided to leave and try his luck on the big screen. And look how amazing he is. And look what he's done since then.
I'm not saying IF Nathan would decide to try his luck, that he would be just as great. We all know that is very few that end up like George Clooney. But you never know what the actors from a hit show thinks? Since he's doing great at Castle, would he try his luck? Since he's brand hot right now? I dont know.
I mean, look at Matthew Perry (Chandler) Matt LeBlanc (Joey) David Schwimmer (Ross) they havent done much after Friends.. So it goes both ways ofc.
I just really hope whatever Nathan & Stana decide, that they succeed. Because i really like them.

And for the support cast (Lanie, Espo etc) their contracts isnt that important. You could always replace them. Not that i ever would want them to do that. But if Nathan or Stana decide that enough is enough. The show is gone.



And finally over to the episode on Monday. Great episode. Some of the good ol' Castle-fun. And some questions answered about the kidnapping. And some great moments between Rick and Kate. Wow, Kate have grown alot the last few years. And the scene on the end was amazing. Nathan was great in this episode.
But we arent done yet with the kidnapping. Not at all. We will get (hopefully) some more answers trough out the season. But i'm satisfied with what we got in the episode. And i saw that Espline was back together. Good for them i guess.
I'm looking forward to actually finding out what really happened with Rick for those 2 months he was gone. And what the hell happened in that forrest when he was 11 years old? I think we will get some answers about that too. Hopfully in a nice converstation between only him and Kate. Only her to know. That would be nice.
The last 6 seasons we've seen Rick been Kate's rock. And been there for her when she needed it most. And now we will see Kate be Rick's rock. And be there for him when he need it most. Thats a nice change for me. And its refreshing for me.

And i watched the promo for next episode. And man that looked like a fun episode! Would be perfect for Rick and his theories!! And Kate will go mad. hahhaa. Good old Castle i hope. But lets hope we get some great Caskett scenes aswell.

And now its official, there will be a wedding in November! I guess you will be happy about that?

Sorry for my rambling! And there is a major spoiler here aswell. So read it on your own risk Marie

Ramble away.  Goodness knows I do.

Her part was that small?  Hmm...I was thinking she was in more of the movie for some reason.  That she was one of the main women or something.  It has been years since I last watched that one.  Hmmm.  I swear back when Castle was starting, there was some article or something that really talked up how she was coming off the Bond movie..and how it had been a significant part.  Hmmmm.
Now I'll have to watch again to find her.   

They are both very talented and could do well with movies.  And yes, if she doesn't want to come back, the show is over too.  There is no way to do it in a way that would work without Kate at this point.  I still think it would be ...risky for them to leave a successful show and guaranteed paycheck for an uncertain future in movies.  Like you said, most of the cast from Friends hasn't done much since then.  And even if they have some success in movies before leaving a show, that doesn't mean they will continue to have success in movies.  Look at Shelley Long.  While on Cheers, she did a few movies..thinking Money Pitt was one.  Maybe Outrageous Fortunes - those 2 were fairly big hits.  But after that, her movies didn't do well at all for years.  The next thing that came close would have been The Brady Bunch Movie.  The big movie career she was convinced she would have didn't happen.  She's mostly just done guest spots on various tv shows or been in made for tv movies.  She tried to get another series or maybe 2 going, but that didn't work either.  I'm not saying that would happen to Nathan or Stana...but it is a possibility.  Fame and popularity when it comes to actors and actresses is fickle.  And you are right about the supporting cast too...I wouldn't want it to happen, but the show could go on without them. 

I would happily keep watching for many more years.

Kate has grown a lot.  Even just a few years ago - like right before they got engaged really - she wouldn't have dealt with these things the same way and she probably would have already been gone instead of staying with Rick.  So there is definite growth there. 
I'm pretty satisfied with what came out of the episode too - even if I don't buy that Rick really wanted to loose his memory. 
I honestly thought that Esplanie was already back together last season.  Heck..back in season 5 they were going out on Valentine's day.  I thought there were other things last season about them dating again, though that they were taking it slow or something like that.  But who knows..maybe I'm remembering wrong.  Espo's ring tone cracked me up though..once I realized what it was.  lol  Ryan was kind of cute in that one scene at the toy company office..when he's messing with all the toys...basically like Rick.   It is nice to see Kate be there for Rick like he has been there for her so long. 

Oh yes...I think the next one looks like a lot of fun.  Rick will have so much fun with the idea of an invisible killer.  Well maybe not when they are getting flung around the room and he's getting beat on..but it looks fun overall.  Yes maybe a tad silly, but fun.  Like when he was convinced he was cursed by a mummy...or the killer was a vampire....or zombie. 

Yes I am happy about the wedding in November.     I already saw that over at the Castle board last night.  I still think they could have started this new mythology stuff after the wedding.  But I'm dealing..and I'm not as annoyed as I was back in May.

Nah, Stana didnt have a big part in 'Bond' at all. Not that i saw anyways. I remember reading something about her being in the Bond movie aswell, and i rewatched the movie just because of that. And i only saw her in the last 2 minutes or so of the movie. But she was in the movie, even tho it only was for 2 minutes.

Anyways, this time next year (or the summertime next year) we will know what Stana and Nathan decides. I hope they decide ofc to stay. Since i really love the show. And i really enjoy their chemistry on screen. Would be a shame if they decided that enough is enough. But every good thing comes to an' end sometime. So will Castle. But i hope it got a few more seasons left.

Just watched two sneak peeks for episode 3. And haha, it looks like it will be a typical "Castle" episode! Alot of fun, and goofy shit. I really laughed of the sneak peeks anyways. I cant belive i'm saying this.. But i'm actually looking forward to Monday nights because of Castle.

Thats how tv-show is messing with me.

Hmmm.  I really thought she had a bigger part.  I swear there was some stories when Castle came out about her being one of the Bond girls in the last movie...significant part and all that.  Hmm. 

They would have to get stuff settled before this time next year.  Stuff would have to be settled by mid summer probably so they could get back to work filming in time for fall.  I would think ABC would renew it since it is still doing well, but you new know.  Some networks have cancelled popular shows because they didn't want to pay the cast more.  Which is stupid.

I've only seen the short sneak peak think from the end of the episode and one more...that show Rick and Kate going in an apartment and Rick basically tip toeing because they don't know if the Invisible Man is there.  lol   Rick getting beat up by an invisible man was so funny.  And how he said he kept the key card..but do you think he's still here and Rick started swinging his arm around, like he was trying to find the invisible guy again.      This should be fun.  Is there another sneak thing out?  I'll have to look tonight.  It looks like it will be really fun.  It will be nice to get a funny, goofy episode again after the last few - and yes, I'm including the finale in that..even with all the silliness that went on, it still wasn't a fun episode in my opinion. 

Oh...I have been meaning to ask.  Do you think something is off with Martha?  I've seen several people at the Castle board say they think Martha knows what happened and all kinds of stuff....said she was being shifty at times.  I didn't see that.  So just wondered if you had any suspicions tied to Martha.
