'Shindig'
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I haven't paid enough attention to notice if it happens every episode, but in the episodes where it does happen, the beat of "Castle goes home, acts normal, something his family does tangentially breaks the case" is really obvious when it does.
I'm like, I'm not sure how tying a bow is going to...oh, okay, yeah, I can see how this might....yup, there we go.
And it's a very familiar feeling.
Yeah, that's definitely a thing.
Yeah, it does make itself very obvious (see also whatever conversation House is having with someone around the 45-minute mark).
However, I forgive this episode anything for both Firefly AND Princess Bride shoutouts this ep.
I caught "As you wish," but what was the Firely reference? I feel like bad fan!
Maybe I was stretching a bit wanting it to be a Firefly reference, but it was my first thought when they mentioned the savage beagle.
Oh, ha! No, I could get behind that. I had to rewind when Esposito said, "As you wish." I was all, "Wait... did I just hear what I think I heard?? Adorable!"
I was bummed that it was so throwaway, but that could be a reflection of my (perfectly normal, not at all ridiculous) degree of Princess Bride love. But I was super excited, especially after the beagle.

I support this statement.

Yeah but who the heck decided Espo should say that to Beckett rather than Laney, and why didn't Castle get even a wee bit growly?
Cuz if someone other than Daniel said "As you wish" to me... I'd probably run and hide behind him. Not that I expect my man to get growly about it, but ... I'd sure be kind of squicked.

But, as I was reminded during the Oscars, the phrase conveys different kinds of love than Eros (i.e. the Grandfather says it to the Grandson), so I'm completely okay with Espo implying love, though not LOVE-love. (No, I do not for an instant think that the writers went through this degree of thinking it through, but it works for me.)
