That camera angle where Norma was saying how she and Norman were two halves of the same person, and you could see half of each of their faces at a 90 degree angle to each other was awesome.

I didn't put it together until this episode that both Norman's father and Madeline's husband are named Sam.

Is Chick writing "Psycho?"

I agree with you, that's too expensive for me to see a play. However, it seems she did take pictures and sign autographs with every single attendee, so they got a little extra for their travels.

Stana's off Broadway show is tonight and she did a fun Twitter (@StanaKatic) scavenger hunt for the people in NYC. She had a person at 7 stops, all Castle-related like the loft and her blown up apartment (the last stop was the theater for tonight), with signed items like scripts, DVDs, framed photos, and (coolest of all IMO) the "Captain Beckett" desk name plate. I think a group of her fans who traveled from as far as Brazil found most of them (no more prizes than number of people though). Now they have to decide who keeps them.

Yeah, I thought it was entertaining, but the fans non-stop tweeting that everyone deserves an Emmy for it (especially Stana) should get their expectations in check, IMO.

The syndication is a smart thought too. Castle is on TNT for hours almost every day. Which is why Mariska is probably so high too, though SVU is literally on almost every channel every minute, so I'm surprised hers isn't higher. Also because she *is* the show.

While I'm not one who believes the small amount of BTS footage we see (like the bloopers) really shows the status of the Nathan/Stana relationship, I do see a little annoyance on Stana's face at about 1:09. Otherwise any possible tension seems to be cut out for obvious reasons.

Some of the Castle staff even "liked" some tweets about sexism being to blame. If I'm remembering correctly, Terri, Dara, and Rob Hanning.

@seamusdever Bloopers: yes, that was my finger, the "Satan's Ball sweat" line=scripted and yes, that was Nathan really tripping.

Stana could have projects we don't know about yet.

Is that Stana for sure in the nose picking part? I thought it might be from the watch and ring but wasn't sure. It has to at least be Beckett right, so maybe a standin? anoldfriend: so was Stana always planning to leave the show and the decision was just made for her by the network/production company, pissing her off for not getting to do it her way?

I think that, had Castle stuck to its main premise of a writer and his muse (romantically together or not), the show could have lasted for years. People don't like change, and Castle was never groundbreaking. I think people just watched for some harmless entertainment. It's when each of the showrunners tried to be "creative" that things went off track.

Someone wrote a response to the "fandom is broken" article and, rightfully, points out that you can't lump all media criticism into one group. http://www.dailydot.com/geek/fandom-harassment-captain-america-ghostbusters-devin-faraci/
