Really fun episode. "Ninja attack!"

I don't think we've seen ninjas before, that was certainly new! Loved that the dancer called Castle on the racial profiling too. All-around fun episode.

It was great when Castle was trying to explain to Beckett what he was doing with the geisha/host, and he couldn't help being like a kid in a candy store when he got to the part about ninjas.

Castle name dropped Ninja III The Domination, which is relatively new on blu ray, I thought that was cool.
