OMG I am 490 posts behind.
But, I am here because this is exciting news. The book series is a procedural, a terrific one.
[link] -- Kate Shugak, Alaskan PI television series
"Evergreen Films of Anchorage and Los Angeles has acquired the screen rights to the Kate Shugak novels, with the intention of making a television series.
"As you have all heard me say too many times to count, I was determined to sell the screen rights only to someone who would shoot the series in Alaska. Specifically, to someone who would put Alaska, not British Columbia or central Washington state, right up there next to Kate and Mutt."
Woo hoo! I hope it gets off the ground.
Reading these comments I am so very, very unhappy that the stoopid Philadelphia TV station didn't air Castle last night and instead aired the Eagles playing football. I hope they'll show it at some point in the future.
Morgana, if you can watch online, it's available already: [link]
I finally saw to the end of the episode, and Castle continues to charm. Big points to the show not just for charisma and chemistry (of which Fillion is possessing in spades), but also having the cops be not dumb, and I too like the great father/daughter relationship. It's good to see he's not just a friend to his daughter--I can never stand that single father dynamic, when they treat the daughter like a peer, either by her forced maturity or his immaturity. Castle's a goof, but he knows when to man up.
The name of that Castle episode was "Vampire Weekend". Heh.
Another great moment: Castle working on his
(for mine is an)
evil laugh.
Very excited about the Kate series getting made, I love those books.
I love the Kate Shugak books ... I just hope they don't screw it up.
And I loved Castle - in a lot of the shows, the daughter's come off as more responsible and mature than he is, but in this one he was the Good Dad ... even to his daughter's friend, not just his own daughter. But the poor egg!
