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.

I'm watching
Castle
on tape delay.
So far my strongest reaction is, "Hey, that's Keir Dullea! And Dan Castellaneta!"
So in addition to this, I've seen Nathan in Firefly, BtVS, Slither, Drive, and Dr. Horrible. He can do funny, and he can do angry, but somehow all his characters seem too much alike.
I think Castle is cute so far, ditzy but cute. Echoes of Moonlighting are a bit heavy-handed. I'd like to see them tone it down a bit.
But have to note, on Eureka, Carter is divorced with a teenage daughter. Castle? Ditto. So is this a trend? I'm guessing it's to make the men more appealing to women. He's been married once, so he's not afraid of commitment. And those father-daughter scenes help show off his softer side.
Who knew Stephen J. Cannell had such screen presence?! Anyhoodle Castle is so frothy I think I'll keep watching. And get her haircut.
I enjoyed Castle - and though I liked the daughter, the mother grated on me.

I enjoyed Castle too. . . fun fluff with mysteries!
I totally loved Castle! Will definitely tune in next week.
