Castle

[kelliem]

Anyone besides me and theamusedone watching Nathan Filion's new show, Castle? It may not be 'realistic' (anyone who thinks novelists live like rock stars needs a reality check!) but I love the characters and I've liked the show since the start. I thought this episode was particularly good, especially the way Rick absorbs what's happening in the A-Plot and how it affects his relationship with Alexis (his daughter). Really nicely done. The 'are you taking drugs' scene was really very moving.

And of course, I have to quote one of the first exhanges of the ep, one which had me LOLing.

Rick: "Anything I need to know?"
Alexis: "The 70's are back."
Rick: "They're like The Highlander, they just won't die."

::snerk:: SO true.

I think they're trying for a vibe like NCIS has, sort of a drama with comedic touches, though they seem to be having trouble striking a balance. The dynamic between the leads is very reminiscent of Kate/Tony in early NCIS, which did get old fast, so I hope they tone that down.

I never liked the whole Kate vs Tony dynamic. I get bored with the constant bickering and fueding. If that doesn't change, I probably won't keep watching.

I didn't mind Kate/Tony at first but it got more and more grating and by the time her character left the show, I was MORE than ready for either her or Tony to bite it.

(BTW, I love your meowy kitty icon!)

Kate/Tony in early NCIS

Yeah, that's irritating the crap outta me. Were I her, I'd find a way to put a stop to it. Actually, the whole Tony putting down McGee thing irritates me, too. And I *know* that goes on FOREVER. At least Ziva doesn't take any of Tony's crap.
