    Oohh, that's a good one. He'll make her see sense. I like Martha, female version of Castle. Brilliant, just brilliant. I don't think there are any characters I don't like :eyebrow:

    She is great, isn't she? I just want to see Beckett and Castle getting even closer! And Martha being crazy. And more of Pappa Beckett!

    I hear Lanie isn't that popular, which is why she sort of went on the downlow in the second and third series.

    Really? I find her fairly inoffensive. Make sense now why her relationship with Esposito has barely been mentioned.

    I think it was the actress and her ability more than the character.

    So, the latest episode "Head Case" aired last night in America. What did everyone think?

    They've definitely got a lot more obvious about things.

    I, perhaps ashamedly, laughed when Alexis got her rejection from Sanford. Loved Castles double take when Beckett mentioned College Girls Gone Wild infact I love all the moments like that across all the seasons. My personal favourite is her "admission" about a tattoo
    For some reason I really liked how the episode started, zooming down from space.

    It really was a good episode, though I think I preferred the second one.

    I did like the Alexis issue. Will be interesting to see how she reacts to this rejection and the distance from her boy.

    What do you think about Castle and Beckett's relationship at the moment?

    Oh, the spotlight is on Ryan next week.

    I like that the "issues" seemed to have disappeared for the moment and all has returned to "normal". As much as a bit of drama is good, it works really well when all is calm. I also like how because of that the spotlight is more on Castle's family with Alexis and we see more of his mother too.

    Excellent news on the Ryan front! 3xK!!

    Do you think Beckett's laying on the gooey eyed a bit thick? I loved the question about her boobs. Poor Castle.

    I want to see more of Martha, she's very underused as a character. She seems to come in for either emotional support or comic relief. I have to say, in the finale of the 3rd series her bit about the movie made me cry like a baby.

    To be honest, I'd like to see more spotlight on Beckett's family. That's one area that is badly underdeveloped and it makes me feel like the show is more Castle's than the pair of them.

    And yes, I want to see more of Ryan and Esposito. Especially Ryan, he's so cute!

    I also like you're not above checking out spoilers on the net. 3xK indeed! Will be so cool.

    D'yknow, I was going to say I want more of the Castle family and to have them developed more than just the beginnings and the endings of the episodes but then I thought...the show is about Castle and Beckett and work and love so I suppose his family are bound to be sidelined a little. That said, I'm in agreement with you - more Castle family!

    I have to say I didn't notice gooey Beckett but maybe I wasn't paying enough attention, I'll certainly look out for it. Maybe she's just finally letting go a little
    I'm ridiculously excited about 3xK - I'm so en-rapped by Castle that I can't help but check out spoilers

    Great episode, really dramatic! So many things I liked. Ryan getting more air time and getting angry at big Sir and storming out = excellent. Squaring off to drug dealers = excellent. Castle being useful = excellent.
    "Just give me a name Castle...okay start from the beginning."
    Amazing stand off between the brothers!

    So much good stuff!!

    I know! Giving me responsibility, clearly forgot what I was like when I subbed.

    I know! Part of me was kind of annoyed by putting Castle and Beckett out of the spotlight, but I thought it really worked and it was really cool the way they teased us and then threw the episode in completely a different direction.

    Alexis is still being a snippy biatch.

    Martha is still underused.

    Beckett still being all doe-eyed at Castle. Me likes. Did you catch his look after she denied remembering?! OH YEAH, AND SHE DENIED REMEMBERING! That's not going to end well. We should be seeing the psychiatrist next episode, or so I've heard.

    Loved Esposito as a homeboy, that was hilarious.

    They need to show Castle investigating Beckett's mum's case a bit more though. I dislike that we aren't even seeing him pondering it. The show needs to keep the threads spinning, not drop them then pick them back up when it's convenient. Though, they did sort of admit that in the season 3 finale, with Castle's angry speech when Beckett asked him what they were. :awesome:


    Anything you'd particularly like to see this season?

    Wellll, to be fair. If you were a 16 yr old girl, who was clever and used to getting things she worked for, you'd be the same if you were rejected from a big name college Definitely agree that Martha is still massively underused although it was nice to see her in the middle of an episode for once In the same vein, I didn't mind that Castle/Beckett situation was left for this week - it's good to have characters like Ryan and Esposito in the limelight a bit more. I think they're better that "extra characters to boost the main two" if you get my drift. Kind of similar to your issue with Martha

    I think Beckett's mum's case must rear it's head again soon - a few episodes in and they'll start to get more serious, I just hope all the comedy isn't lost. I think that's the appeal of the series, well for me in some ways, at least.
    I'd quite like to see a whole load more of the 3xK, which I suppose is a given. I like that it's not being answered straight away. Probs the killer of Beckett's mother, hah

    Oh, I didn't mean Caskett getting pushed back, I just meant them in general. It kind of felt weird to have an episode of Castle without much Castle or Beckett in it. It was cool and I look forward to one for Esposito too. Will probably involve the Special Forces unit he was in or whatever.

    I definitely agree with the humour. It's why I watch the show. That and Fillion's acting, he is priceless at times.

    Oooooh. I get you now - still liked it
    I have to say, I'm missing Montgomery quite a bit. I know he didn't have a massive part in the show but he had a certain effervescent yet steadfast persona (srsly, stay with me) and he added a certain calm clarity to the show. Definitely shouldn't have been shot!

    I think it'd be good in Ryan finally got 3xK, well he has too really, doesn't he?

    Definitely, don't think the poor guy will feel completely right until he does. It must be hard for him, especially with other cops mocking him for it.

    Definitely with you about Montgomery. He was just nice and better than Gates. I'm getting tired of her really and it's barely even started. I hope we see some good development there, cause there's lots of room for it. The whole "sir" thing is a bit annoying, though. The group storm out scene was great. Did you notice Beckett giviner the fingers as she left?
