I will be interested to see the fallout for Beckett and Castle. This is one of those moments where a normal girlfriend would be trying to offer support, but that's completely impossible because A)She's working (although, my credulity is strained near breaking on that one), B) There is functionally nowhere they have any sort of privacy.

I am hoping that some time in part 2 we get a moment that pays off the idea that she doesn't really know him with any depth, since he is so good at putting on various fronts. We got a little of that with the speech about holding Alexis when she was born, I think, but the Castle The Interrogator was just a different front, even if it was a new one. And I think, if you're going to bring out the sledgehammer that is this plot-line, you need to be doing some serious heavy-lifting.

Also, if they kill Alexis, I will be pissed.

I can't imagine that they would kill Alexis. I think it will be very interesting if this leaves her with a darker edge though.

And my darker edge had me thinking... on the bright side, Alexis got that Paris trip after all.

I just re-watched Death Gone Crazy and man is there a lot of setup for the kidnapping in that episode!

I think that driver might have gotten to met the real Rick Castle. (I was definitely getting some "War Stories" vibes from Nathan Fillion.)

Yeah, there was more Mal in that Castle than I usually see. But still distinct.

Ha! Great minds and all that...

I took a quote from Mal and a pic of Castle from this week's show.

I can't help wondering if the kidnapping isn't about the other girl...

DebetEsse, I join you in the hopes of some development of the relationship. It actually struck me how, in the midst of this deeply personal crisis, they were still calling each other "Beckett" and "Castle" rather than by first names.

Right? I mean, I am reading it as a necessity of the No Privacy situation, but it's still weird.

My take is it's just a habit. Castle has called Beckett "Kate" before they got together but she rarely called him Rick.

Of course the show did do the weird switch from using Javi to Espo as a nickname for Espisoto for no apparent reason.

"Person of Interest" has become a really interesting show this season. I have been surprised by it and felt that the episode quality has remained pretty strong this year.

I thought last night's episode was fantastic. Did any of you see it?

It's not Boxed Set?

I haven't seen it yet, but I am hoping there is more Amy Acker this week.

I think we have mostly discussed it here in the past. The sci-fi aspect has been pretty minor to the show as a whole.
