CASTLE season 4 Breaking Bad with Hostage Negotiator
Who is afraid of Breaking Bad baddie Hank Schrader, portrayed by actor Dean Norris? Besides me? Well, the cast of Castle may have cause to tremble. Just a little. On Breaking Bad, Norris, as Hank, is one troublesome DEA agent. As we have learned in some interesting casting news however, he’ll play quite a different [...]

Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic in CASTLE season 4 tease
You know, I was just thinking to myself the other day, “We could use a Castle poster featuring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic that’s kind of mischievous.” Lo and behold, we got just that. And not only is it mischievous, it’s a little sexy too. But not overtly sexual. It’s subtle. Your four-year old son [...]
CASTLE gets Iceman for Fillion and Katic
Things are taking a cold turn for Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic). According to TV Guide, William Atherton will be guest starring on the show’s fourth season in a role that some might find a little… familiar. Atherton’s character is a “life-extension researcher” named Dr. Ari Weiss. And what methods does he use [...]
Castle – “A Deadly Affair” – review
Oh, I am so happy to have my favorite odd couple of fictional detectives back! The one good thing about Mondays is that I get my Fillion Fix. There was a definite jump in my affection for this show during last season: unlike last summer, this summer I actually missed them enough to watch [...]
Castle – “A Deadly Game” – review
Weak! That’s harsh, but it was my immediate reaction to the season’s end. Not the case, which was actually pretty spectacular (more in a bit), or to the episode as a whole, which was pretty good, but rather to the conclusion (by which I mean lack thereof) of the romantic tension between Castle and Beckett. This [...]
Castle – “Overkill” – review
An episode title worthy of Castle himself’s wordplay. It refers both to the fact that Beckett has not one but two men helping her work the case, in Castle and Demming, and to the way the case wrapped up. This episode was surprisingly delightful. I will admit that the preview last week made me wince, [...]
Castle – “Food to Die For” – review
As the episode title suggests, the pop culture skewering this week was of reality cooking competitions, specifically Top Chef, when the winner of such a show is found murdered in the kitchen of his new restaurant. Also a little bit of American Psycho, as the restaurant Q3 was reminiscent of Dorsia’s—Castle says, “Even I can’t [...]
Castle – “Den of Thieves” – review
Somebody who works at ABC has been reading my recaps! Maybe, anyway. This week wasn’t the Lethal Weapon Esposito goes bonkers when Ryan gets kidnapped story, but it was the Esposito’s old partner comes back from the dead and turns out not to be crooked, just vigilante, so Esposito risks his badge and life to [...]
Castle – “Suicide Squeeze” – review
Us Weekly kindly provided me with jumping-off points for both of my favorite shows this week, as they spotlighted this episode of Castle in their weekly TV reviews. “Reviews.” They’re like 1 sentence. Anyway, the blurb on this episode went something like “ratings for this light-hearted crime drama continue to rise, and it’s easy to [...]
Castle – “The Third Man” – review
Castle was back to its usual style this week, with a mystery centered around a stranger instead of a personal investment for one of the team, and one that allowed plenty of humor to be dispersed. It was a bit jarring, actually, to go right back to the usual lightheartedness of this show. I don’t [...]
Castle – “Sucker Punch” – review
I know I’m a bit late with my thoughts this week, but “Sucker Punch” was such a game-changing episode of Castle that I decided I had to talk about it anyway. So what made it so important? Well, as the previews put it–”every suspect, every clue, every case for this detective has led up to this moment.” And so it had, because this was the episode where Beckett has the chance to find her mother’s killer, not because she chooses to revisit the case but because the killer has struck again and she has no choice but to follow the clues to the end of their trail.
More after the jump…
