Since the third season of Castle hasn't started yet. Let's have discussions about the show. Nathan Fillion is wonderful at playing Richard Castle. Stana Katic does a great job playing Det. Kate Beckett. Susan Sullivan is wonderful playing Richard Castle's mother. Molly Quinn is great at playing his daughter.%0D %0D What does anyone on here think of the show?
Anyone home?

I've tried watching it because I love Nathan but I just couldn't get past the hokey idea of a writer being allowed on police cases. I can see maybe allowing him to see crime scenes but he's involved in interrogations and arrests. I can't suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy it. Its just cheesy & cliched. Moonlighting did it better in the 80s.

I'd watch anything with Nathan in it, because he's so damn cute.
I hate detective TV shows, though. the plots are predictable, even the "twists", like the private school murder episode, where you just knew they conspired, because, in TV-land, private school kids and upper class husbands and wives are always the murderer.
But yet, Nathan's in it, and it's lighthearted.
But frankly, I'd much rather watch hours of Nathan being spanked bare-assed, by anyone.

Very, very dumb concept. I wanted to like it, because Fillion's cute and Susan Sullivan's funny and I love crime shows. But I don't like Stana Katic at all... or maybe I just dislike the character she plays intensely.
I'm completely over the Very Special Episodes (usually cliffhangers, but not always) where the main characters are themselves in dire peril, and one realizes he/she loves the other. I'm pretty much over all straight romances mucking up otherwise-OK shows.

I think the only point I chuckled was when the grandmother spotted an old man at a party with no wedding ring and said "My graydar just went off." Other than that, no laughs.

The finale was great, but I have to agree that Stana Katic has very little chemistry with Fillion. I'm not sure what it is. Part of me thinks they don't write her character very well, and another thinks she is playing her as very cold. I buy that his character is in love with her, but I don't think she's in love with him. If you watch some of the behind the scenes on you tube or some of the comic con clips, they have much more chemistry in "real life" than their characters.
She's drop dead gorgeous but they need to humanize her more on the show. Have her get drunk or something. She just seems like a cold fish, pillow princess.

I disagree, r96. I think the hanger scene was pretty good. Becket was screaming to help the Captain with the shoot out and it was only because Castle carried her off that she was stopped. I think this episode was all about role reversal for the characters. Suddenly Castle, who is usually weak when it comes to Beckett and lets her do whatever she wants, stands up to her in his earlier dialog AND in the fact that he picked her ass up and carried her away. It was finally time for him to show his strong side with her and he did.
And it was the first time we've seen Beckett break down like that and completely lose it by begging the Captain for the name and for him not to sacrifice himself.
I didn't have a problem with the four guys getting shot. They weren't expecting the Captain to go against them so when he started shooting, they were caught off guard. They expected him to hand over Beckett instead of his family.
I think the episode marked a major turning point for the show in terms of the relationship between the leads (even though their chemistry is not believable). I think the shooting at the end was real and not staged to flush out the bad guy. Of course, because Beckett was drifting off at the end, she won't remember Castle telling her he loved her. Which is good. I hope they don't get them together or if they do, they do it in a way that won't ruin the show.

While I can't say he has never eaten chicken skin in his life on a daily basis he is not doing so, on the set anyway.
From what I have noticed his is a big meat and cheese eater. He loves cheese and takes a lot as well as some of any and all meat on the buffet.

So far I'm pretty disappointed in the new season. There is less humor between Becket and Castle, less give and take like Nick and Nora Charles. I'm also bored to tears by the trials and tribulations of Castles daughter. The only bright spot is still Susan Sullivan as his mother. They haven't messed with her character too much and no one can put you down faster than your mother. And what is with the new black bitch captain. I hate her! She is snide, domineering, clueless and rude. They need to gang up on her and bitch slap her until she sees the light.

R106, you might have something there. I wasn't enjoying this season as much and couldn't put my finger on it. I like the daughter a lot, but prefer her to interact with her father. I could care less about college and the boyfriend. His mother has gotten a bit stale, too. I think she needs some better lines or a wild new adventure. And the dynamics with Castle and Beckett aren't as feisty as they were. It has become a bit ho-hum. Frankly, that captain should have transferred him to another department for half a dozen episodes, so they'd have to meet secretly to discuss the cases. Then the whole thing could blow up in the captain's face and she could be transferred for good.

I get that they didn't want to have them do it in the first few seasons…but pretty soon no one will give a shit if Kate and Rick ever do it.

For the most part this season has disappointed me. I loved the quirky relationship between Castle and Beckett and they are ruining it with their flirtation into a serious relationship. They ought to know that the two of them getting together would be disasterous. R106 I agree I hate the black female captain. What a fucking bitch! They need to soften her character or dump her asap. With Castle losing his daughter to college they need to bring more of Susan Sullivan into the episodes. I love her character and want to see more and different sides to her.

The show has shifted in tone in the last season and a half, I think. Maybe as NF and SK's mutual off-screen loathing has grown, their chemistry has suffered, unlike Bruce and Cybill. I just don't buy the sexual tension between them anymore and this season kind of lost me.

I happen to agree with you, r141. Even though I didn't stick around for the third and fourth season of Castle. I felt the show was about to get repetitive. NF and SK have been doing interviews seperately most of the time. They still do the "Comic Con" route and stuff. In time one of the cast members will be glad when the show is over for good.

I watch it but am more lukewarm than I was. The sexy banter is definitely missing among other things. The writers seem to know better than to bring them together, though. One is about to get involved and the other backs off for some reason. Then things switch. But for some reason, I'm just not as interested. I'll see the new season but maybe not as regularly. The thrill is gone, I think, like some relationships that start out with promise, but just never materialize and then the individuals just drift away.

Like I said in several posts back. I only watched the first and second season. I didn't watch the third and the fourth season of the show because I was investing in watching the remake of Hawaii Five-O. If it hadn't been for the remake of H5-O I would have been watching. Then again, I didn't want to see the same thing over and over whether Rick Castle and Kate Beckett get together or not. Plus, it would have drained me as a viewer.
I was sad to find out that Capt. Roy Montgomery got killed off the show. He was one of my favorite characters on the show.
I believe that Nathan Fillion out of everyone else will be a major star. The rest of them will be working actors.

R164 I think they are just two different people, with different interests. Jon Huertas said Stana does not have a mean bone in her body. Victor (Josh) got along with them both but he said Nathan acts like a 12 year old. Said he was very playful. Josh used the words interesting and amazing when describing Stana. Jon and Tamala Jones have used the same words to describe her. Victor said that she is very, very smart. She was pre- international law in school as well as Astrophyic ( or something heavy like that). According to her interviews she is more diverse in her interests. She is a world traveler. Her interests involve exploring different cultures. Nathan seems to be the 'boy next door'. He was going to be a teacher. They probably have little in common. All the guest stars said that when Stana is working she is very professional and is as serious as a heart attack. Nathan and Stana would probably bore each other after they've said good morning.

I agree that it is probably not a matter of dislike but more of the differences in interest and personaly. Yet, having said that,I have recently viewed brief sessions of them filming on set, on youtube. I have noticed that when the short session is over they barely acknowledge each other. There is one that shows them coming out of a cafe (or something), Nathan leaves in front of Stana and two other ladies, he does not hold the door for them. There are people where I work that I have very little in common with, yet we interact on the job. They work long hours almost everyday maybe they've said everything they have to say. Just saying... Hmmm??? They both seem to be likeable people. Those who have worked with them say that Stana is a sweetheart and that Nathan is a real gentleman. I therefore ask myself if it is my imagination. The other logic is whether ego is involved. Most people now acknowledge that 'Castle' has morphed into the 'Beckett' show. The scripts are Kate Beckett driven. If the Beckett character was to be removed there is no show. Fillion is alright but I don't believe he could carry the show on his back like Stana does. My friend said that he believes that Nathan, like a lot of men, is intimidated by a beautiful woman although they pretend they can handle it. My friend also said that if her talent exceeds his and yet if Nathan was hired as the lead of the show, he would probably simply be jealous. I do not know. My friend(male) said he too would probably be a little jealous. He said Nathan is human and male too. (Whatever that is suppose to mean).

Recommendation to Castle fans. View (youtube)commentary for A Death In The Family. There are two versions. One video includes comments by Marlowe, Bowman, Huertas, Molly, Stana and Nathan. The other video (same episode) contains comments by Jon and Dever. I suggest viewing the former first, which includes Marlowe. Some personality trait while not overt, are very revealing. Give attention to who pays attention to whom, who pays attention to what, who compliments whom, who is protective of whom, who interacts with whom, who has insight regarding the process of storytelling. Your guide to individual personality traits will be to lend attention to what is important to whom. The devil is in the details. Very revealing. (I'll give a spoiler, Jon is very intuitive, outspoken and very manly. He steps up to the plate.)

Many times an actor seeks TV jobs because they need the money. We all know that showbiz is an up and down situation. It pays well but the shelf life for success is short, if at all.. Unless you are a so-called a-list actor (Brad, George, Denzel, Julia, Sandra) it is difficult to make a living. Also, LA is a very expensive city to reside. The stage does not pay as much as film and NY is even more expensive. Maybe, monetarily he simply needed the Castle gig.

by Anonymous | reply 194 | August 2, 2013 10:58 PM |
(R194) I do not think he is disappointed but that he realizes that any show after 5 yrs running, needs a shot in the arm. Thus, the possibility of Beckett taking a DC job is very open for new exploration and ideas. Note the constant leaks of guest stars during the first few episodes of season 6. Emphasis, so far, seems to be centered on Beckett's new position. It has been announced that somebody called Warren Christie will play a reporter in an episode. Google that guy. He is one handsome fellow (not overweight either). In the past people have commented that the show should be renamed the Beckett show. I found that somewhat amusing, with tongue in cheek. I did not take it too seriously. BUT, the press release of the casting indicates a change in direction. I now believe ABC sees the shows' future in Beckett (Stana). She was already carrying more than her share of the load. Was in practically every scene. Watershed, I now believe, was about a turning point in the Castle/Beckett relationship. A romantic relationship involves at least two people and their feelings, hopes and dreams. BUT,in Watershed we saw the relationship more from a Beckett point of view. Castle was considered but not as much as Beckett. Maybe the real story of Nathan's one-day disappearance had other meaning for him. That is, the evolution of the 'Beckett show'. After all, the man has feelings and ego just like everyone else. If my theory is correct, he may want more than a 4-day work week. What do you think? I still believe Nathan needs attention, that he likes being center stage. Sadly, those days may have gone with his youth and weight gain. (Everyone has 15 minutes of fame-Andy Warhol, then it is gone).

R200 I believe they will be around as usual. Who says that Kate will remain with her new job. Remember, Marlowe is a good storyteller. he will be able to incorporate the cast into the story telling. It was noted on Stana's twitter page that 'Marlowe loves everyone'. I do not believe this was noted randomly. Maybe some feelings of doubt crept into the regular cast members and Stana was simply taking care of others in her own way. Jon has said that for Stana everything is heartfelt and that she does not have a mean bone in her body. Look at the playful pictures of she and Marlowe (taken by Lisa). They indicate that their relationship is more than boss and employee, it also includes a friendship. Also she has stated in a few interviews that Marlowe has asked her into his office to discuss a script, ie. what he is reaching for with some of the lines. In the commentary video for S1-05 that includes Bowman, Marlowe, Jon, Nathan, Molly and Stana, note that Bowman, Molly and Jon comment on her acting skills but it is she who takes a moment to cite Tamala (who was not present) as being a part of the team. It came natural to her. It's the small things that are most revealing sometimes. To note that 'Marlowe loves everyone' is to include the others on the team. I think the others know she and Marlowe have a friendship and respect for each other. Some fans say that she is his pet. I disagree. I think he simply likes and respects her hard work and talent. She probably is in on the fact that Esposito and Ryan will be taken care of.

R205 I cannot debate how Nathan may view Stana as being Marlowe's pet, but I continue to believe that it is more the fact that Marlowe has found a common ground, a kindred spirit with Stana and therefore can relate to her more. She is not necessarily his pet. He has stated that 'Beckett' reminds him of himself. Although he created Beckett, it is Stana who personifies Beckett. He said the show is a love story dedicated to his wife, Terri. Stana is viewed in a good light by the other cast members also. At an awards show (PCA,I believe) when the cast was asked what they attributed to the success of the show as rating were slowly increasing. They cited the backing of ABC and Susan S. said it was because they had the most beautiful and talented co-star on TV. Penny agreed and Stana lowered her head and thanked them. When Penny was first hired Stana interviewed her for some newsletter (whatever) and Penny stated in the interview that she had done some reading on Stana and had tuned in to observe Stana's work. Seamus' wife has said more than once that she wants to work with Stana. Molly has said the same. Bowman is always saying 'good work' Stana. Terri said she now considers Stana a friend and she admires how she plays Beckett. Jon just thinks the world of her. Even Lisa has come to admire Stana. She told Stana that if a spin off of Castle is done , it should involve she and Stana. Does she think that Stana has some clout with somebody? If so, it would have to include the network. She is no more their pet than she is Marlowe's pet. I believe she's just likeable and respected for her hard work. Nathan is liked and admired by all, but the difference is he needs more attention. Attention tends to embarrass Stana. Nathan's loyal fans ignore or debate the fact that Stana is the star of the show. I do not think it was by design, she simply evolved to it or did the network have some input. Marlowe has observed Stana. She has emerged as the leader of the group. He writes to her strengths. He writes to each person's strength. Nathan may simply want 4 days of work with no secret motive behind his request. Or he maybe slightly jealous of Marlowe and Stana's relationship. Who Knows. Since we don't know, let's give him the benefit of doubt.

R213 You have a point. But having Beckett accept or checking out a new job could be a way to add freshness to the show. A show tends to get stale after 6 or 7 seasons. I was crazy for ER for years until I simply stopped watching. If I had to hear "crack the chest' one more time... I am not bored with Castle yet because I discovered it late. Had to play catch up on TNT, back to back episodes. If Marlowe is able to move Castle and Beckett from foreplay to honeymoon stage to tension stage with a new role for Beckett and Castle and the other cast members having to re-invent themselves to adjust to her new role-playing, Eureka, it's a new show. Marlowe has made Beckett the focal character for this show.

R205 I have been rejecting the idea that Stana is Marlowe's pet, although others tend to believe this. But a recent review of S6-E1, may support others. The reviewer concluded by stating, 'our female lead is driving this episode from start to finish. We all know Katic can act her butt off, but this episode leaves no doubts to anyone who thought otherwise. Beckett has two life changing decisions to make and no matter the answers, Katie shines throughout. Katie is brilliant.' Marlowe has admitted that he has the final approval of script writing and direction of the script. Therefore, he has allowed Stana to again to assume the lead role. Hmmm, food for thought. Also, Stana was told what Beckett's answer would be before Nathan. I still cling to the notion that Marlowe is embracing her talents more than favoritism. But my belief is beginning to waiver a bit. Also, Jacko Sims, (to be featured in an upcoming episode) referred to her as the star of the show (not the co-star). Was he responding to what he observed? This brings me to Nathan asking for a 4-day work week. Has he conceded and not see the need for him to be on set as much if Stana is going to drive the show. I don't see Nathan as petty or lazy, but realistic. Does Marlowe see Stana as the savior of the show? Jon has said that her contribution is what has maade the show 'dope'.

R218 I do not necessarily hope his character dies soon, but I can no longer vision him as a romantic lead. I really do try but he just does not fit.Seemed alright in the first year but as he gained weight he got more unattractive. Plus, why do they insist on writing his character as silly? The other characters are working for me. Jon is simply adorable and manly. When Nathan plays out a scene I sometime imagine how Josh (Victor Webster) would have played it out, adding his ruggedly handsome looks. I wonder if they regret hiring Nathan for the part.

R220 Just recently watched it. I've noted fans commenting on this aspect in the past and I paid little attention to the comments. Thought it was simply personality differences. But there was a herd of elephants in that place. Start with seating arrangements plus absolutely no interaction. Nathan seemed to try at one point when he commented on how Jon obeys her orders with 'as you wish' response, from 'The Princess Bride'. Nathan was joking but it fell flat. Neither Jon, Stana nor Seamus followed up. With the attention to her hair, producers (and her) discussing her reaction to taping in HD, and the audience questions being mostly directed to her. The moderator and Susan, enchanted with her hair. She politely deflected the attention from her, using Seamus. The girl from Romania was simply nervous and tongue tied in her presence. The guy who saw her and Andrew at USC , wanted more. Stana was clearly the star of the evening. She seemed tired, but yet she was able speak intelligently as usual. When Seamus and the moderator said she has it all, regarding Beckett, they made no secret that they were referring to Stana. Stana got embarased and of did her usual, dropped her head. My point is, do you think the attention is affecting their relationship? Something clearly has happened. Yet the outtakes show them still having a good time. (View bloopers from S5). Note: I felt sorry for Nathan a couple of times when he was acting goofy, trying to joke. Didn't work. Nathan is not a stupid man. Why does he need this silliness. It only serves to point out Stana's investment in her character and the show. Nathan's contribution on the panel was to suggest producers bring back his friends. Why? It is not as if they are big stars with great acting abilities. They don't need him to beg for them. Nathan just likes to feel needed. Maybe he no longer feels needed, in the manner that he desires. It is obvious that when you listen to Andrew discussing why he allowed the audience to follow Beckett to DC., that he expressing that he needs the Beckett character. Is this affecting Nathan and Stana's relationship?

apparently both stana and nathan were filming and arrived late so it explained why stana looked tired and sometimes drunk. nathan kept talking about the crew and deflected most questions to andrew marlowe. if anyone has any doubt on how bored he is should watch this panel. to a reporter he suggested his stunt double should replace him for his kissing scenes with stana. dunno if that was a joke or he really can't stand her.

R222 I have been trying to give Nathan the benefit of doubt since we truly do not know him and his motives. But he is not helping. Maybe he is just bored. Castle is probably not his type of venue. But more than anything I've come to realize that maybe it is that Nathan has no knack for serious drama. His strong suit is probably comedy. Personally, I do not find him amusing. He comes off as a child in a grown man's body, for me. Josh (Victor Webster said he acts like a twelve year old. I so pitied him when he attempted humor at Bowman's expense, when Bowman was explaining High Definition to the audience. Bowman said to him, 'you just destroyed my credibility'. At this point Andrew said let's move. Stana and Seaman both dropped their heads. Jon did not smile, he just looked at him. I found it to be awkward for Nathan. When Bowman that Stana does not like HD and she went on to explain herself, you could tell she wants to give people quality, while Nathan joked. Stana was sounded so intelligentd when explaining, since she admitted that she is not a film maker. This moment was so revealing.The producers respect Stana and her efforts. Nathan has become an accessory, but he put himself in that position. Note: nathan looked a little betterr. Maybe he lost some weight.

R224 I've not heard of Community or Dan Harmon. Is this show on ABC? The black suit and shirt helped to improve Nathan's appearance. Note: Nathan comes off as a nice and mannered guy. But I sense that he would bore me. No sex appeal in my opinion. Nice as a best friend, but not a romantic partner. This lack of innate sex appeal does not promote him as a romantic lead. Whereas the Beckett character is sexy without giving it much effort. I am trying, but they do not complement each other romantically. Friends, yes. It is the writing that is holding it together for me. It is the interaction with Expo and Ryan. It is the trust she has in Lanie where she is able to discuss personal matters.You can truly buy into their support of Beckett and having her back. Castle too, but more as a friend who admires Beckett. If Stana was a terrible actress I would have checked out long ago. I buy into the Beckett onion.

I have noted the comments on Nathan's weight gain. I had also thought he had lost a couple of pounds this season. But while viewing last night's show, I was again observing not only his weight gain but also the change in his facial features. The total package shows weight gain with an attempt at disguise by use of those over size jackets. His big arse still is noted. His gut overhangs his waistline, his nose has an odd shape, his face is bloated and to add insult to injury he is now developing a double chin. The man presents a total mess. With that being said I believe he is a sensitive, nice guy. But he just does not fit romantic leading man. the writers seems to have abandoned the romance between Castle and Beckett. They are playing more to Nathan's comedic side, his strong suit Except for me his instances of comedy are simply silly. Marlowe can forget 'The Thin Man' imitation. Try renting or accessing netflix for that series. William Powell played goofy so well, while maintaining a muted sophistication and debonair quality. Myna Loy tolerated his antics because they did not reach the level silly. Funny, yes- Silly, no way. ( My speculation is that somehow alcohol is impacting Nathan's appearance. Keep an eye on a person who starts to miss workdays with weak excuses.)

Is it just me or is Alexis (Castle's daughter) following in the footsteps of her dad... she seems to have put on weight, and she's nowhere near as good looking as she was only last season. What the hell? Every time I see her face now, I cringe.

R232 Molly looks OK. She's still young and is just emerging from her teen years. She may become a beauty when she transitions to early adult. Being a ginger with pale skin makes her plain looking now, but there exist some possibilities.

Honestly, the show has become so formula that it's almost a parody. There's always that moment when Castle sees something at the end and the light goes on "BING!", and he makes some improbable connection that solves the case. It's like clockwork.
The last episode was "IT'S A CLOCK!"

‘Castle’ Season 8: Stana Katic’s New Contract Negotiation Update
There is still no news on whether ABC has renewed “Castle” for Season 8. And Stana Katic, who plays homicide detective Kate Beckett, has not yet signed on her new contract. The contract negotiations are still going on between her and the producer of the show, ABC Studios. TV Line has hinted that the outcome of this negotiation is likely to be positive. Katic’s contract is up for renewal after “Castle” Season 7 wraps up.
Micheal Ausiello of TV Line has reported in his weekly Ask Ausiello column that he is “hearing encouraging news on the state of Stana Katic’s Castle negotiations.”
ABC has confirmed that Nathan Fillion, who plays Rick Castle on the show, has already completed his negotiation and has signed on a one year contact. If the show is renewed for another season, Fillion will be returning. There is no news on who else has signed on the new contract. The contracts of all the actors were up for renewal after the production of the current season.
Meanwhile, David Amann, the current showrunner, will not be returning if there is another season. He is exiting “Castle” to explore other project opportunities. He had taken over the reins of the showrunner from series creator Andrew Marlowe after “Castle” Season 6 wrapped up. There are reports that ABC is looking for a new showrunner, which virtually confirms that the show will be returning with Season 8 this fall. And TV Line has reported that Marlowe and executive producer Terri Edda Miller are unlikely to be associated with the show as a writer or producer. These two are expected to focus on development.
In an interview given in November, Katic told TV Line that for her it is art over finance and if they are creating “something that is compelling and that has somewhere to go, then we’re good to go.” The actress added that if they are not, then “it’s time for everyone to pack up and move onto the next thing.”
“Castle” Season 7 airs its final episode on May 11. The episode is titled “Hollander’s Woods.” It is going to reveal interesting details about Castle’s childhood and why he became a writer. The episode is expected to end on a cliff-hanger.
