Nathan Fillion tries once again to have a hit television show with Castle a show about a fiction mystery writer Rick Castle teaming with Kate Becket NYPD when murder victims Allison Tisdale and something Fisk turn up dead just like a character from his book.

(Castle mentions James Patterson is a member of his weekly poker game) James actually appears in the episode at around minute 31 of the episode. Along with two other mystery fiction writers whom I don't recognize. I hate Paterson.

Right of the bat the show is very sexy and quippy

Damn I so wanted to not like this series but I may be hooked already.

So it looks like the copy cat killer was only in the first episode and the story from now on will be him following her around for "Research" for his new character. Like I said I wanted to hate this series and it's seldom that a show wins me over when I have negative feelings towards it right from the get go. Well done Castle.

The other guy was Stephen J. Cannell, mystery writer and former TV writer/producer whose credits include creating The Rockford Files. I have no idea who the woman in green was.

I liked it. It is meant to be a goofy take on crime procedurals, right? Like, a parody?

If so, I thought it was great!

It's not meant to be serious, right? I mean, it's crime book cliches stitched on top of real life. Art imitating life imitating art, etc...

If you want serious crime procedurals, there's plenty to choose from. Not so much the case with light, goofy character interplay. I thought this was a cheesy throwback to the 70s kind of odd couple pairing perfect for perpetual conflict and URST.

A welcome change in a landscape of, what, three CSIs, and soon to be FOUR Law & Orders, plus plenty of other legal/cop shows. There's no room for fun?

This show was completely horrible, the cliches are overwhelming, the show has no point after the first case, and the acting, aside from Fillion, was dreadful, especially that stupid daughter.

I barely fought through the first half hour and then gave up.

I really enjoyed it, but I love both Fillion and Stanic.
I WISH they'd not resolved the mystery in the first episode. That mystery should've propelled the show's first season, from people trying to talk him out of killing his lead, through the publication of that series' final book, to realizing killing off his lead will be fine, because she's going to be the model for his replacement.

While it was a bit much, I did love the famous writers' poker game.

This is the re-working of the old "Hart to Hart" type of detective show, but it needs to borrow a bit more from "Dexter."

Infernorhythm

03-10-2009, 07:37 PM

Okay, mixed bag. When I first heard about the basic premise of the show, it sounded like a dark, serious show (kind of like that underrated Nightstalker remake a few years ago). But it's a comedy instead. I'm okay with that, Fillion does snark better than anyone else.

Fillion stole the show. The interaction between him and the daughter was the best part of the show and I hope they keep it up. Castle's apparently was without stable parents as a kid and his daughter's got him for a dad, so they're both a bit twisted. As for Castle the mystery writer/semi-cop, well, I like the background in psychology and all that. His expertise seems fitting and not tacked on.

That said, the rest of the show was a little eh. Predictable procedural that relies solely on the banter between Castle and Beckett (Katic was good, but nothing about her character stood out). The supporting cast was unbelievably undeveloped, and the who donnit of the week was a tad predictable. This series is going to need a running subplot/master plan, I'm not sure the cases of the week are going to be able to keep it going.

I'm going to keep watching, Fillion is too good to pass up, but I do hope the series improves. Because the pilot was standard police procedural raised from mediocre by a snarky lead.

I find it hard to believe that show's cancellation actually left a void.

Castle is a 4th rate version of Bones, which is a 3rd rate version of Moonlighting (and I like Bones), which was a 2nd rate version of Remington Steele. I don't mind that it was wildly derivative and lacked even the faintest hint of originality or creativity. But it wasn't even fun. I didn't for one second buy Katic as a cop ( the sight of her kicking down that door with her towering spike heels was the only actually funny thing in the show), and while Nathan Fillon certainly has a charming, roguish, engaging screen persona, charming, roguish, and engaging don't equal good acting.

Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

Eh.... I'm going to give the second episode a try since there is often a lot of tweaking done between a pilot episode (which is basically shot to convince a network to pick a show up) and the ongoing.

I thought this was somewhat entertaining, they played with some stereotypes but it seems that they were mixing their metaphors. The characters seemed a bit more geared toward sticking needles into Hollywood types rather than authors. I mean, having read a bit about authors and the publishing world "rock star" style authors like Fillion's character really just don't exist. Now if Fillion's character had been an actor the satire might have worked. Check out the underrated film The Hard Way with James Woods and Michael J. Fox to see an example of that.

It did also seem a bit mixed in that they couldn't quite decide if they wanted to be serious or a satire -- at times it went one way -- being an obvious parody/satirical take -- and yet at other times it seemed to want the 'murder' part of the story more seriously.

While some of the dialogue was fun and Fillion DOES have enough charm to lay some off on about half a dozen other, charm-free actors, quite of bit of dialogue fell flat and to be honest the on-screen chemisty between Fillion and Katic sputtered a bit -- sometimes it was on and sometimes it was off.

BUT all that aside, I generally enjoy shows that focus on clever, banter dialogue and that don't take themselves too seriously (I'm a fan of both Leverage and Burn Notice here, that should tell you something) and Castle does have POTENTIAL. I'll check out another couple of episodes to see how things change from the pilot and see if the show settles, finds it's balance, and shaves off some of the rough edges.

The mystery plot was paper thin and the cast was rounded out with forgettable stock characters, but the premise of the show is basically "watch Nathan Fillion be charming for forty-odd minutes." And, on that basis, it more or less succeeds. It's like Life or House, living or dying by its star's charisma.

I dunno. I don't think I'd go out of my way to watch it, but if it's on . . . eh, sure.

For me, this week's episode was the best so far. Castle and Beckett really seemed to be firing on all cylinders, both as individual characters and together. What I at first thought was a throwaway line about the cliche of cops and bad coffee was paid off nicely with the esspresso machine delivery. After being initially reluctant to accept this gift, Beckett's eventual acceptance of it could also show how she's warming to Castle (despite all her bluster otherwise).

As for "Nikki Heat", his last character was named "Storm" ("for the titles", I'm sure). :) Her appearance at the end which caught me stammering, just like Castle, leaves no doubt that any character modeled on her would fit the name "Heat". Wow!

The trick of having Fillon seems to work for this show. I see many here and other places get excited for it only for Fillon.

5 of my 7 siblings watch this show too for Fillion only. Some of them like CSI and still think Castle is cliche,generic but the cult status of Fillon drives them.

Hey i watched ep 1 and thought it was fluff,cliche and i wish Fillon got a better show.

O.K., I'm glad I wasn't the first to say this...but I'm glad it was said. :biggrin: If you look at her pictures at imdb.com, she sure doesn't look like a teenager to me. So, at first, I figured this was one of those "young looking twenty year old's" playing a teen (especially since she's playing a girl who is more emotionally mature than her father).

Can't wait for her to grow up! Hopefully, she's still on this fun show as she does.

This show is good because of Nathan Fillion. The dude really steals the show and has a coolness that few actors have. I hope the show survives. I think Fillion would have had better chemisty with another actress, though. Stana Katic is pretty annoying.
But Nikki Heat. That was fun, ha ha.

For some reason I just dont like her. She is kind of like Anna Torv from Fringe, I think both shows would be better with different actress.

This show is very very routine. Fillion is more suited to stuff like Firefly, but I can sort of see his appeal. Stana Katic is very hot, especially after seeing her in that dress, but she's too young to portray a grizzled police detective. She needs to light up a cigarette or something.

It may not create watercooler or internet buzz, but I find it (especially Nathan and Stana) very enjoyable to watch. ABC could use a hit or at least a steady performer, and I think Castle could be a solid fixture on the schedule for a while. There's nothing wrong with "comfort food" TV, and this is a nice spin on the procedural (which is all over the tube).

Of course, the relationship between Beckett and Castle is paramount in this show. When they're sparking, the show turns the fun up to 11. The way last night ended, with Beckett enjoying breakfast with Castle, Alexis, and Grandma was nice to see. Their relationship seems to be evolving from workplace banter to a more solid foundation to move on from.

While the self-contained nature may seem at odds with most of cult TV right now, IMHO it is a much needed breath of fresh air. BTW, for those who can't live without a through-line, Castle and the audience "peeling the layers of Beckett" (her personality, guys :) ) in order to create his new character is a good start. We've learned a lot about her already in just a few episodes. She's definitely more than a standard hard-boiled detective stereotype.

The trick will be to see if it can bring viewers to the set without a DWTS lead-in, but what does ABC have to lose by trying it?

On the home front, Castle's fencing scene with Alexis was another interesting glimpse into his loving, if unconventional, take on parenting. At least Alexis didn't solve the crime or provide the big clue as she has the past couple of weeks. That device is novel once, but could soon become monotonous.

Quote of the night:

Beckett: "Did you know they call you The White Whale?"
Castle: "The White Whale? Not Moby...?" :)

Slip-up of the week, which made me think the eps have aired out of order:

Beckett seeming to not know about Alexis' mom's wackiness when she suggested Alexis would live with her if something happened to Castle. Didn't they just have an episode last week IIRC that showcased Meredith in the B-plot?

Count me as another one who has been enjoying this show. Quirky humor, doesn't take itself seriously, and Nathan Fillion. I'm really impressed to see a teenager on tv who isn't completely self absorbed and sex crazy, instead she's smart and mature and doing the best she can to raise her father. I also like that the back up characters are starting to get a bit more screen time.

I'm actually really enjoying these new quirky cop shows. Life, Castle, The Unusuals, and Bones are a welcome change to the dark and all to serious crime shows like CSI, Law and Order, and Criminal Minds. Not that the serious shows can't be fun too, but I had entirely too much of them recently and am welcoming the change.

Did you get as far as Castle going to gamble with the Russians? Kate has to pull him out; quickly changing her clothes to appear as the type of girl that they're attracted to. The Russians killed the victim when he couldn't produce the money they owed.

After the case is settled Kate tells Castle that they're finished. She says she doesn't want to pursue her mothers' case, and he was doing it more for herself than her. He goes home and his daughter is going on about her date being a disaster made worse by the guy making light of the problems. "Why can't guys just apologize?" she asks. Castle kisses her and rushes back to Kate giving her a sincere apology. It works as she agrees to work with him again.

I am so gullible for a Firefly reference. The wrap up was lame,but Anita Barone was on! Haven't seen her in so long.

That was fun. Good to see that Nathon Fillion and others are always willing to give a tip of the hat to a show that never should have been canceled,but oh well. I guess they weren't even trying to be coy about it though, since one of the announcers on the Dancing With the Stars show pretty much told the viewers what was going to happen.

I missed that part what did he say.

I can't remember verbatim but it was along the lines of stay tuned for a new Castle Halloween special coming up next and all you Firefly fans are getting a special treat...

Castle's daughter had the best line of the night when she saw him in the Firefly costume and said, "Didn't you wear that 5 years ago. It's time to move on."

Yes. And it made me sad.

Nice nod to the other show though.

I thought the rock star was a little cliche. That style of rocker hasn't been popular in years. Surprising to know that genre of glam rock is still around and apparently you can still make millions from it.Actually, like a lot of stuff from the late 70's and early 80's I think it's been making a comeback.

I mean fashion sure is taking a turn for late 70's to early 80's style lately. As someone who was (admittedly rather young) alive during that time period and able to remember it its more than a little disturbing.

Is it just me or is Castle a little too serious these days?

This most recent episode it did seem that Castle was more serious than usual, but I have to say that I kind of enjoyed it.

Preemption alert!: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118010841.html?categoryid=14&cs=1 Scroll down a bit to where they talk about Kathy Griffin's new show in Castle's spot on the 23rd.

I hope it's not gone for five weeks. :mad:

How does Katyh Griffen keep getting shows!?!??!?! As long as Castle keeps coming, a break won't be horrible. Will miss it though.

BTW allow me to say how much I HATE the new opening. The first season "theme song" was entirely too short and, well, honestly crappy but this whole deal of Fillion voice over and then the clips of the two leads just saying "Castle" and "Beckett" repeatedly is annoying and stupid.

Dear ABC, PLEASE give this show a proper theme song/opening! PLEASE!

So this week's episode was pretty good I felt. I liked that they gave an epsiode somewhat spotlighting the Captain I do wish they they had showed him DOING a bit more, though. The chance viewers had to see him performing the interrogation, for example, was simply... eliminated. This was somewhat mollified, though, by his general telling powerful people where to stick it and Castle's obvious glee at seeing him do it.

Castle, Ryan and Esposito with tea, biscuits and cats on the couch was my favourite scene. :biggrin:

Good crime story too.

And the family interludes intertwine nicely with the main story as a rule.

Nice mystery this week. Some interesting twists and turns and, you know, for Castle supposedly being a lech you notice how, in two and a half seasons now we've seen him with precisely ONE woman and that woman was his ex-wife. We also see how he treats Scarlet here -- very much the 'big brother'.

I did actually think the guy playing the would-be-locksmith was kind of funny.

Also interesting is the fact that Beckett and Castle's relationship really does seem to be taking on some overtones of a real, solid friendship.
