I rewatched the first episode, and liked it much better this time. And, god help me, I ship it. They're like puppies with each other and wrestling over the rawhide bone that is the case.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Castle: I wonder if they're going to have this affect his casual glee over murders. At least for a little while it should, I think. But for someone with the ruthless "I can use this" writer's curse, it's a hell of a thing to go up against real evil.
Yay Martha for acknowledging the usefulness of paranoia--and knowing her son would not just say "I love you" without an ulterior motive! I love Castle's family. I didn't *think* they'd go to that gritty of a place of having Alexis' stalker be a killer, but this wasn't that light-hearted of an episode. And now Castle has a real bete noir.

I'll be shallow about tonight's Castle: Ryan should wear more vests!! Actually, I'm loving the return of the vest for men's suits--Esposito was rocking his last year, and Ryan was looking sharp this week. Between these two and Spencer Reid's occasional foray into non-sweater vests, I'm a very happy procedural fangirl.

Er, last night's Castle wasn't supposed to be all soundtrack and no dialog, right?

I heard lots of dialogue.

It's an interesting effect, but I think I will have to watch on hulu to follow the story.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I had a repeat of Vampire Diaries record on the dvr with only the soundtrack. As a repeat ep, it was cool. But sort of impossible to follow otherwise.

I thought it was just a wacky stylistic choice for the first 2 minutes or so. I'm keeping the wonky recording to watch after I hear all the dialog.
I hadn't noticed the soundtrack of Castle particularly before, and now I know I like it, fwtw

I was texting Jilli at first when the Vampire Diaries ep was on because, since I'd seen it once and knew the story, I was wondering if it was a new ep and this was just a totally ~~moody~~ way to open. It was really cool, actually. But it would have sucked on a first run ep and likely with anything that didn't have vampires, emoting fog and rampant iliac crests.

Well, it was mysterious for the opening of Castle, so that worked, too. For a little while, anyway.
