Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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.

"He's like a nine-year-old on a sugar rush." hee

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I totally loved Castle! Will definitely tune in next week.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The smugness radiating off Nathan's character was a bit off-putting to me, but the detective yanking him around by his nose and spotting the perp in his lie while Castle was oblivious helped with that.

I wasn't a big fan of her throughout the ep, but this endeared her to me. She's definitely the big "meh" in the cast--some of her other cops were more charismatic than her.

The mom totally reminds me of Ruth Gordon in My Bodyguard.

I think one of my favorite things was Castle taking off his shoe and picking up the handcuff key with his toes.
