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.

I like that the show has a certain amount of whimsy. It's not a flat out comedy, but it's quite light-hearted in many ways. I do wish they had a different lead actress, though. I'm just not sold on her.

Yeah, I really didn't like her. I didn't think that she sold the "hard bitten cop" thing.

I thought the fact that she could - and would - bring in her complete collection of his books, with her personal bookplate, in and force them onto the other cops jarred. It just seemed ... girlish? fangirl-ish?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I distrust the reading creds of anyone who has matching hardback editions with pristine covers and bookplates. People have given me bookplates, and it is to laugh. Bookplates come in quantities expressed in two digits. My books come in quantities expressed in four digits.
I was irritated when, at the beginning, she said something about not having dates and another woman said, "You could wear some lipstick." Come on. She was, even by television standards, pretty heavily made up.
