Castle "Hell Hath No Fury" 3/30/09

Spoiler:
The investigation behind a body found wrapped in a rug on the sidewalk leads Castle and Beckett deep inside the world of New York City politics. The partners discover a world of expensive escorts, arrogant tycoons, corrupt investigators, and the effects of betrayal.


I am enjoying this show so far and it has done decent in the ratings but I am worried that the stories are gonna be too familiar , also how long can we buy the premise of Castle following Beckett around all the time.

Previews look good, I'm looking forward to tonight's episode. Hope it's better than last week, which wasn't up to the quality of the first two episodes.

Another great episode. Nikki Heat? Stana Katic in that dress.

I was cracking up when everyone in the interogation room heard him going off about the lame excuse in the observation room.

Her legs looked killer.

This one was good but not quite as good it felt a little slower paced to me, but it had more jokes then the other ones so I did find myself laughing a little more. The bad thing is that my girlfriend was watching it with me and this wasn't the best one to convince her the show is great.

I loved how all the women listening to him at the reading were crying. Every time they showed them everyone here watching started to laugh. I really like the interplay between Fillion and Katic.

It's light-weight and fun ..... with some decent writing and performances, that's good enough for me, since so much else on TV is actually insulting. Hope it sticks around!

Much better than last week.

Was that a nod to Firefly, when Castle handed his daughter the spoon in the kitchen and said she had the bridge?

he said "you have the bridge, number one". If anything, it was a ST:TNG nod.

I agree. I also tend to avoid episodes of SVU where the story revolves around a bunch of liying little brats misleading everyone.

I really enjoy this show, but with so many twists within an episode, it feels like a two-hour show IMO. I find myself looking at the clock more than once in an episode.

Ah. Not being very well versed in sci-fi shows, I thought it was likely to be a nod to Fillion's previous show.

This episode held to exactly what it got last week was a 6.7 which is good since most people didn't like last weeks episode as much so hopefully it will get a bump next week

In the 1st or 2nd episode, there was a nod to Fillion's time on the soap "One Life to Live".

As previously mentioned, the show has a "Moonlighting" vibe to it and looks really good in HD. While the mysteries are light weight, the fun is the dialogue and watching the characters interact with each other. It's a perfect way to follow up an intense hour of "24" on Monday nights.

It does have good humor in the show and the give and take is also good. I just wish CAstle and Beckett would talk a little more . I work with plenty of people that annoy me and we still talk when we are in situations that have a little too much silence

Re: Castle "Hell Hath No Fury" 3/30/09

Good show. I haven't seen the episode (yet) that this thread is referring to, but I’ve seen the first two episodes of the season. I'm making my way through them on ABC dot com. It's something different that American audiences haven't really seen before. Fillon's character has the humor and smart ass attitude much like Simon Baker in "The Mentalist". Anyone else catch that the apartment Castle lives in is the same apartment that was used in "Moonlight" by Mick St. John. This is off topic but that’s another really great show and it makes me sad to see any other character or family of characters occupy the home. Anyway, good show and I look forward to catching up on the episodes I haven't seen.

I still hate Police Procedurals but Fillion's charm keeps me coming back.

I'd so do that man if he asked I swung that way.

Stana Katic is really growing into her character. Liking this show more and more with each episode......which means its doomed.

Where else was the killed politician's wife from? She looked familiar, but older than from what I remember her from.

I have to admit that this show is growing on me, as the last couple of episodes have been an improvement over the first couple.

I always remember that actress from My So-Called Life. She played the woman who was in cooking class with Angela's dad and they had a flirtation going.

Liked the conversation in the car, "wise ass or jackass".

Great looking dress and wonderful legs. Did not appear to be as much of a distraction on "his" job as he is on hers.

Great Star Trek:TNG reference.

Her name is Lisa Waltz. According to her IMDB she's done a ton of TV work on different shows.

It did look like Mick's apt. Less gothic obviously.
