I am so excited that things will be heating up between Castle and Beckett next week !! I love when Castle does sweet things for Kate like bringing her coffee and protecting her from harm. I like when Castle asked Kate about her dream, and she answered about being a judge. It's so romantic to see them smiling at eachother. We want to see more of that!!

Did anyone else get the significance of Kate saying that she was shot in the chest and remembered everything. Then the flashback to the scene where Castle said, "I love you." Did you catch the look on Castle's face? I loved it.

OK Does anyone here remember Moonlighting? Great show until Maddie and Addison got together. Then it went down hill FAST! The writters need to make sure that doesn't happen here. If it does, it will probably be in the last season along with Kate's Mother's killer.

Great episode until I fell asleep and missed the end. Always happens. I wish they would move my favorites to 9pm.
What was up with Espo's hair? get rid of the part please. Completely distracted me sometimes.

I gave up on Caskett a while back, apparently the writers just aren't getting it so I have no expectation for them to hook up anytime soon.
Bromance was good, although Ryan could have told Jenny any number of excuses why the ring was missing. Liked some of Ricks old stories. Gun in the dumpster! yikes.
kates back to wearing low tops and no bullet scar but no serious complaints cause Stana in a low top is always a bonus.

I was disapointed with this episode. It was flat in action,like they are running close to budget, and need to save moeny for the remaining episodes. Did anyone notice all the cameos of KB smiling , but about what? I did like the comedic bromance between Ryan and Espo, and would have liked to see more between Castle and Alexis. To me, this was about quantity, not quality, and the investigation was flat, almost transparent. A gun in the dumpster?
If they want viewers, then keep the format, and continue on with the friendship and getting closer, but add some spice.

Why is it that writers never seem to learn from either the stupidity of other writers or from their own mistakes? They are screwing with the continuity and character chemistry and they are turning off long time fans. It isn't broken--QUIT TRYING TO FIX IT!!!!! I don't really want to say "I told you so", but I will when this show comes crashing down around the writers ears. Go back to the case being the center of the show, with all of the other stuff around the periphery. Either get Caskett together or quit trying to--why is it so hard to envision a successful detective show where a commited couple solve the cases??? As for Alexis and Martha...both are good for balance and displaying the "other" side of Castle--just get more realistic in the story arcs. LOVE this show and it really grieves me to see the start of collapse.
Yikes! This just about ties Head Case for the worst episode of the season. Absolutely mind-bogglingly difficult to follow, terrible forgettable characters, cheesy lines, cheesy acting all around. I'm a big fan of Castle and I was terribly disappointed. They lingered on the faux dance competition for maybe 10 minutes before leaving it completely behind. It you are going to pump a premise of an episode, stick with it until the end. At least the side stories were great. Martha had a surprisingly fun story, Ryan and Espo had one of their best bromance moments, and Alexis at the morgue was fantastic as well. But, yikes, I hope the writers are saving something to finish off this season well, because A Death with Death made it seem like the writers took a week off.

I think I need to stop reading the comments after the main post. Hardly anybody said anything abt the main show and all the comments were abt the 30 second preview for next week. I LOVED this episode! I dont come to Castle for realistic crimes. I come for the outlandish crimes. I come for the fun. I come for the comraderie between the characters. I literally LOL'd when the guy said he'd be Brian Dunkleman! I knew who he was immediately! TOO funny. I also loved Ryan and Javi. these guys work so well together.
Finding out that Lanie wanted to be a dancer and couldnt because the girls game in when she was 13. Finding out that beckett wanted to be a big time lawyer. TOTALLY could see that. Her drive and tenacity are who she is and would work for either a lawyer or a detective. I like how we get little tidbits of Beckett's life before her mom died. I'm a big Caskett fan, but I know that there has to be more to the show than that. What I love abt Castle is the fun and t

Don't care what the nay-sayers say! I love this show. It is entertaining no matter what twist the story-line takes! This is exactly what TV should be - it makes me happy ☺

This episode ran into an unintended consequence. It was right after one of the best Dancing with the Stars episodes of recent vintage. Castle's version of a dance show looked like a high school attempt. The plot of the two look alikes was a big stretch with the writer's imagination gone amuck. The B plot with Mom and the Critic was predictable and didn't add much. Alexis was wasted in her brief role. The biggest faux pax was the guy who was smart enough to be a lawyer and a business manager tossing the murder weapon in the dumpster BEHIND HIS OFFICE BUILDING. DUH!
The exchange between Ryan and Espo probably saved the show. No way does this show deserve four and a half stars. Two at best.

What sticks out in my memory of the episode more than anything else,is Alexis. Poor girl, it may have been the lighting, but she appeared absolutely Geisha-girl pale.
I know that's shallow, and she's really a very pretty young thing, but has she ever actually been outdoors?

Dude, no one is missing the comedy! We LIKE it, but the engine that makes Castle run is the DRAMA. Hence all the interest in NEXT WEEK'S episode. Funny is the icing on the cake. Good icing, but IT IS CAKE TIME! WHOO HOO!

It would be weird if Rick wasn't angry and hurt-----she knows how he feels, said nothing, hasn't responded...... well, a guy would think that means she does NOT love him back. Heck it seems that way to me and I'm not a guy. I know they want to keep pulling them apart until the last second (don't you DARE pull a Bones on us, Marlowe! What a lame way out that would be.)............ so, I know they're keeping them apart for the story architecture, but really, what is up with Kate not saying how she feels? She seems as constipated emotionally as a 7th grader, when I think about how long she's been hiding this.
And Castle's been hiding his thing to save her life, so she's got double NO reason to be mad at him for walking away, she's blowing her chance. (If the preview is at all truthful, that's going to be a painfully cliche' episode.)
So....... two episodes of them apart (her running around with the Scotland Yard guy, yeah, that's nice for Casket fans..... what a mess). I hope th
*Mad
Castle seemed MAD. not made. Mad in the elevator.
Or disappointed. IDK. I don't write the stuff. I watch. And I'm kinda done watching the dance, I want Caskett already!!! *sigh* Anyhoo... What happened to the one-night-stand that was supposed to happen? Gosh.... if they didn't follow thru w/ that then are they SERIOUSLY gonna follow thru w/ the relationship?!
Ok I'm apparently tired and ranting so I'm gonna shut up for tonight.
@ Sue Ann
Maybe it's just wishful thinking. Lol. I know Andrew Marlowe talked about that the rest of the season is gonna be dark and dealing with the secrets. We'll see. There's gotta be something that will ''keep them apart'' for awhile yet... =/ But honestly I don't seen Castle holdingg a grudge... but I DID see his face in the elevator and he seemed made. We'll haveta see. START THE COUNTDOWN!! ;)

@ mustang I admit that I was not paying very much attention. I generally watch it again online the day after, and I was busy tonight with a small disaster in my living room. But it sort of looked like he said something about her remembering, and he went away in the elevator. COULD just be the end of the day. Maybe not. But if he is all soft and forgiving, then what excuse are they going to use to continue to delay any getting-together until next year, which they have been saying all along is the plan? Did you see the interviews from the Paley Center program? The show runner?
@ Sue Ann
Honestly I don't think Castle's gonne ''get on a high horse.'' Sure he might be resentful at the beginning.... but if he LOVES her, then he'll get over his selfish feelings cuz love isn't about being selfish. It's about commitment and hard work. And they have alot of tough things to work through.

Yay! My Castle recorded!! Whoo!! Ok.... I watched it recorded and not live, and due to weather some parts skipped... =/ SO DID ANYTHING HAPPEN BETWEEN CASKETT?!?!
Anyhoo... fascinating case. Absolutely loved the scenes between Ryan and Espo. And the ring. Getting stuck. And Ryan being so in love with his wife. *I wanna guy like that* i thinks romantically. ;)
Next week's episode. Deep breaths. She remembers. Castle's mad. OMG is it Monday yet?!

The preview showed that Kate's secret, that she's been lying about not remembering Castle's declaration of love over her shot body, is going to come out next episode. If Castle gets up on his high horse about being lied to, it is going to give him further to fall when it comes out that he has been lying by omission about the continuing investigation he's doing into the death of Kate's mother. Those will probably be the latest foofahrah to keep them apart dreamed up by the creator of the show.
This episode was OK, but I am losing some interest here. I used to say that it was OK to go slow, but glaciers melt faster than this.
Castle: You guys get this a lot? Agent J…Agent K?
