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 suppose that could be. But since his mom appears to have been a Broadway actress and she lives with them, I kinda figured she was broke. Maybe it was Rick's dad's money.

Especially since the line in last night's episode about him being thrown out of every prep school in Nyc. So I've been assuming he's a male celebutante who happens to write bestselling books, kind of like Bruce Wayne's persona.

Excellent point. Okay, now I can quit balking at my suspension of disbelief. ;D
