I recognize Raglan's fishing buddy from Criminal Minds (he was the dead kid's dad in "Memoriam").

A most excellent ep tonight!!! Ryan and Esposito took lead and broke the case wide open, Castle and Beckett finally clinched (albeit undercover), and Beckett called Castle "Rick" for once. And I just frickin' love Susan Sullivan! She really sold Martha's conversation with her son.

No love for Max Martini? It sounds like we may see him again.

It was a very serious Castle. Not in a bad way, but I did re-watch Nikki Heat afterward to get my fix of the playful side of the show.

I figured three posts in a row of me squeeing for the guest stars? Overkill. But I totally thought it when he showed up.

edit: And, okay, I didn't want to imdb another name. But, yeah, he was awesome. And likely to return, I'd guess.

I did have to look up the last name. It was that or refer to him as scruffy-ginger-goodness which was my first thought.

I wasn't sure what Google would do with "scruffy-ginger-goodness that I watched a little of in that one show that I turned on for Dennis Haybert and continued watching for the scruffy-ginger-goodness and maybe it was on CBS but I'm not sure."

In reality, I'd have gone for Haybert, found the show and then clicked until I found scruffy-ginger-goodness.

How did we know who was on our tv before the internets? Were we really supposed to remember things?

You've forgotten that the show full of beefy men was titled 'The Unit'?

::relinquishes Is Twelve card::

Hee.

Excellent episode - I totally agree that Scruffy Ginger Goodness (SGG?) will be back.

My first thought was that it was so Wo Fat can exert a measure of control at the moment it becomes most convenient for him. Then again, I'm assuming it's Wo Fat who replaced the money.

Barb was in my brain. This was exactly my thought. How better for Wo Fat to have leverage over the team? The question though is, how did he know?

Remember our first sight of him? He visited Hesse in prison. Also, there was the detective who was a mole on the force who knew that Chin had been framed. Again with the suspecting, but Wo Fat probably has his fingers all in the various governmental pies.

Re: Castle, I will save my squeeing for after the coffee has kicked in but oh, holy mother, what an episode.

Fave line though: "I went through twelve years of Catholic school!"
