There's a preview available on ABC.com. I watched it. The actress who plays the cop is . . . not good. She was picked for her looks (pretty, but not too pretty). She doesn't have the gravitas to pull of the hard boiled cop thing. They would have been better off casting someone like Angie Harmon, but she was probably a little bitter after Women's Murder Club.
Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
As bitter as the people who watched the show?
Well, she was actually getting paid, so I'd say yeah. I liked the show a lot. It was one of the ones that really suffered from the strike.
I actually was entertained by WMC and was a completely different show after the strike.
Crap! I'm kinda loving Castle.
Oh, me, too!!
Apples, apples!
Hee.
Shiny green apples, America?
I like the female lead, too. She's tough and insecure and smart and vulnerable and flirty. Great facial expressions, too. And Nathan is so damned cute! This might very well be a perfect role for him.
Anyone know what the song was that was playing at the end of House tonight?
I'm still trying to figure out the backstory timeline. House met Cuddy when House was in med school and Cuddy was in college. House met Wilson after they were both out of med school, just after Wilson's first divorce. Wilson started working at Princeton-Plainsboro after House was there. Infarction was about five years before the first season, and Cuddy was already working at Princeton-Plainsboro then, and we don't know if House or Wilson were. In the episode where they went to House's father's funeral, did they say how long ago it was that House and Wilson met?
I love Nathan but hated the commercials, so I watched Medium instead. I'll catch up with Castle on the web.
I like that Castle isn't just superstar shallow writer. There's immaturity and a zest for life and the boredom of an intelligent artistic man and a really freaking cool dad with a freaking cool daughter who glides in just under "annoyingly mature" (I'm sorry, I loved the sock sliding scene. They're more like siblings than father/daughter, which matches half of his maturity level). And he's CUTE!!! CUTIEHEAD ALERT!!! --Put Nathan and Misha Collins in the same room and there might be a cute-pocalypse.-- But with just enough depth and seriousness to make him not unbearable and truly shallow, but not to worry, those are his lapses from CUTIEPIENESS!!!
*ahem*
edited to add a very important negative.
