It was perfect casting, though.
But Castle works best when the ensemble is playing off each other, and this was Rick Solo.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

As I recall, Martha isn't sure who Castle's dad is, there was more than one candidate at the time, and no one stepped up to say, "I think he's mine." And I think Martha was too independent to really care.

And PMM successfully explains just why I wasn't so impressed. I wasn't even sure myself, so thanks!!

Thrive to spite them
Yeah and I feel like they put themsevles in a hole with the CIA episode so they had to do something with Castle's dad.
So big two parter! The first half was better than the second half.

I love Chi McBride, but Golden Boy is going to suck, isn't it? In 9 minutes, I already hate the Golden Boy.

I love ChiMcBride, but I knew that I couldn't handle it. Plus, it's up against White Collar, Justified and Body of Proof. I'm not willing to do the Tivo machinations for it.

Ginger,
yes. I am avoiding that show like the plague. However, I am all over "Red Widow." So there is no accounting for taste.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Although I liked Beckett getting bad ass with the dead guy's girl friend.
That was pretty awesome. As was the sound during the bit with the mole man.
The escape was kind of cool, but yeah, the ensemble or at least the duos are what make the show work best.

I'm not actually that good with torture and threats of torture as a means for the good guys extracting information. Makes me kind of wince and takes me out of the story. Even more with Castle as torturer in Part I. Even though overall I was good, and II was meh.
