Olde timey tough-guy?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought he was going for that old style sorta mid Atlantic type accent.
I'm confused about the actual Blue Butterfly. If it was hidden in a brick outside the building how did the murder victim find it?
Also are we supposed to believe that the whole time the mob guy had it was paste? Because I think a 1940s mob guy would know how to get jewelry appraised.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Watching NCIS right now, and...I am not into this show anymore, I guess. It's just striking me as wanky and self-indulgent, when I can see what it's actually going for. My heart's just not where they're aiming.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Askye, the dead guy knew where to find it because the old couple told him where to find it.

Oh, okay, I thought that they just told him about the secret safe.
I still don't buy that big time mob guy wouldn't have had the diamonds checked out by someone to make sure they were real.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
He very well may have.

I think it may be something like The Maltese Falcon. The falcon turned out to be a fake, but the treasure hunters decided it was a decoy and set off to look for the real one.

What was Castle/Joe's accent supposed to be? A variant on Bronx or something?
I used to listen to the old detective radio shows on CD, and he sounded a lot like those radio detectives, to me.

I'm forgiving them. I do believe it was their 200th episode and that always calls for schmaltz. At least they didn't pull in a TV production company to make a movie about them.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Actually, I liked this Castle more than I expected to. Too often, when a show does this kind of thing it comes off as overly wanky and self-indulgent but this time I was willing to go along with it. And I loved Ryan's "boyo" - past and present versions.
