I hope the apparent fact that Mr. Padsdar will be otherwise occupied also means that the potential rumored spinoff of his Castle character into a program will not take place. It was bad. I wish him luck elsewhere.

Phooey. This is NOT a role I would have imagined the incredible Katee Sackhoff playing. She deserves something incredible and as the lead. Not to mention she's saddled with the kiss of death: Lou Diamond Phillips. Poor guy. He actually gets decent roles, but nobody ever watches him. Maybe next year, Katee!!
