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'm watching it. It's a little non-realistic...but a fun light cozy mystery series.

I think Castle's lifestyle comes more from family money. And I love his mother.

I laughed so hard at that line last night! Yes, I am watching this, and enjoying Nathan Fillion immensely.

We're both watching it at casa la wolf. It's like McDonalds fast food tv. LOL

I've tried to watch Castle, but I can't get past the shock of learning that Rick's a jerk and thus, not a very sympathetic character for me. About the only character I've liked so far is the daughter.

I'm watching, but not really impressed so far. I adore Fillion and wanted to like it, but the whole dynamic between the leads really puts me off. Plus, the character is so childish and generally annoying. It's a shame. I'd love to see this written as a real drama and not some hybrid between comedy/drama.

I do like the daughter and Castle's relationship with her. Right now that's about the only saving grace, well, that and Fillion being so damn cute, not that I'm superficial or anything. *g*

I like the show. Nathan is so good. Give the man a phone book and let him read it.

I'm watching it, mainly because of Nathan, but am enjoying it in a mindless, look-up-from-the-computer-occasionally way.

I watch it too and it amuses me a lot. BTW, that daughter of his is far too grown up to be real. ;-)

I am so still watching and being amused by it! The second and third episodes were not quite as delightful as the first, but yes, such the good time and Nathan is a delight to watch!
