Watched the new Castle. eh ... I miss the lightheartedness. But next week looks promising for fun and laughter (with occasional gunshots).

Art Crawl!!!

Yes - that is what was off with Castle. But it made sense in the context and it is certainly fun to see Lady MacPalmer back on tv.

Two things about Castle -- the doctor who walked behind Castle as he was checking himself out in the mirror before he walked in to see Kate in the hospital was this guy [link] who is the same actor playing the guy Montgomery mailed the envelope to. So, what was he doing at the hospital? Unless he's actually a doctor, I suppose, but even so, why bother to show him?

Also, I didn't realize it at first, but her psychiatrist is Worf. Awesome.

aha! I thought the voice was familiar ... no wonder I didn't recognize the face.

I saw "Michael Dorn" in the opening credits and squealed, startling my cat. And then I forgot he was supposed to be in the ep until I heard his voice at the end.

H50: Loved the usual Danny/McGarrett squabbling scene, and TO'Q's reaction to it was hilarious. And that comment about Danny's tie was slash-o-riffic! And that final shot--that came out of left field for me. I was suspected TO'Q as the undercover baddie, not her.

Also loved Joe and Kono: "I'm Joe. Kono. Good shooting there, Kono." Just so, low-key and perfect.

Re: the last shot-- I wasn't sure if that was a look of conspiracy from her or fear. I was leaning towards conspiracy, but I have to wonder if he's not holding something over her. Maybe Wo Fat's got her fiancé still alive? Who knows.

Definitely yay for Masi Oka in the opening credits! He was so fun in this ep--I loved that he was flattered by Steve's showing up at his house (and his immediate reaching for an umbrella as a weapon was terrific). And his delight in driving Danny's car was hilarious. I can't wait to see what they do with him this season.

I channel surfed over to H50 just in time to see Kono - tied up on a bad guy's trunk - erupt out of the trunk when he opened it and then whip his ass.

The phrase "you fight like a girl" isn't as much of an insult any more, is it?

Thrive to spite them

I watched Castle, the light hearted ness was missing. Actually the theme sounded a little jarring because it didn't seem to go with the seriousness of everything.

I wonder if Castle figured out that Beckett remembers. It will be interesting to see how the new Captain works in with everything. I like and it changes the dynamic with Castle working at the station. I'm not in any real hurry to find out who shot Beckett. I know I probably should be but I'd rather see the "team" work cases and banter more.

I chose to watch Five-Oh last night and will have to watch Castle later, but I loved everything about the SteveNDannyShow episode last night. And you could have knocked me down with a feather when I saw who was spiriting Wo Fat away from the prison. Talk about blind-sided!
