Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Castle: That was so cool!

Beckett: You liked that?

Castle: That was very Miami Vice.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Damn, just watching everyone know where that conversation was heading was hard. And in spite of having scene the tail end of that scene in the promos.

Oh shit! I remember that NOW from the previews last week, but I'd totally spaced on it.

Also, love seeing Robert Picardo, though I suspect that may have been his only scene.

I love this show. It's like the hot chocolate of procedurals.

bwaaa! the deep tender moment transforms into humorous fluff and gets a smile.

That was quite a leap of deduction. Me no likey.

Aaaaand now it makes horrific sense.

Beckett's confession of affection was nice and refreshing.

Crap, I missed the first 20 minutes of Castle. At least I got to see who done it. And I loved the little Beckett/Castle moment at the end.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm having a LOT of logic problems with the ending. The outwardly upstanding guy doubling as a heroin dealer is one thing, but the upstanding guy who's also a trained (and hired) assassin and starts dealing heroin when he knows his brother will be involved AND then kills his brother AND was hired to kill Beckett's mom for unknown reasons ten years earlier? That's a hell of a balancing act on Occam's razor.

He didn't know that his brother would be involved. He was dealing to the Latin Kings, and one of them started dealing on the Westies turf. The brother was sent to find the dealer/supplier and discovered it was his brother. Who, coincidentally also is or was a hired assassin.

Ah, that was the disconnect. I still have trouble reconciling some of the details, but that part makes sense, at least.
