Don't think this has already been posted considering he's in the still photos but Dale Midkiff is guest starring in 7.07.

No prob - there's different tangents going on in this thread - I keep forgetting who has said what :)

He's been working on Young and Restless lately. But add me to the list who thinks they cut scenes out since we know by Stana's interview that they cut some precinct stuff out of the episode with Seamus. I mentioned the drinking thing above that people sent them tweets last night but they didn't respond to it.

So between the three wedding outfits, tuxedos and dresses in Dressed to Kill - I think they used up 3/4 of their annual budget there. j/k.

Yep forgot to add that part about the audience size. They showed a few clips throughout last night's The Blacklist - since every damn ad break had an ad for it.

A few people did mention to Terri and Andrew about the drinking but they didn't respond to it. The three quips I had were the drinking, the fake Aussie rugby team (no Crimson Rhinos rugby team here in Australia) and the hideous green screen. The rest I could handle in the scheme of things. The thing I was worried about was the Sorenson situation. I knew that was going to be in the episode and my concern originally was if you took away the AU how does it play to them getting married after Beckett's concerns at the beginning when they're going into the warehouse. I saw the look on Castle's face more relief than concern to the perfect comment since it bookended the scene at the warehouse (perfect day, etc).

Beckett should have stayed there after her quickie wedding to Rogan. Since they were in the area.Looking forward to TPW's ep.

Yep that's the one. Well apparently the football rated very poorly (going by the ratings sites) hence why the adjustment wasn't as bad as others have been.

I took it to mean they're writing the episode now - so it'll fall into Feb Sweeps - so possibly Episode 16? Last episode of Sweeps, if not then Episode 13. Since 14/15 will be dedicated to the Castle mythology.

It rated as I expected it to be. WTF thought it was smart airing the episode against The Blacklist fall finale can take some of the blame. Because that wasn't a smart move at all, TB was always going to win last night's ratings. The other shows in the timeslot were going to get the remaining scraps. Next week's episode should be interesting, first TPW written episode and the fact they're going against State of Affairs (which at this point could rate really well or fail miserably - so far critics have panned it though).

Yep it's actually from the ep. But agree it looks like a painted picture. Maybe that will be their new addition in the loft. Heh.

Or Katherine Heigl is to Claire Danes as Alfre is to Mandy Patinkin.

I'd say she gets the mail forwarded there (post-disappearance).

Only thing I could think of is Red had a few tails on Liz (after the finale last season) and found the hideaway and Red being Red paid the guards to check out who was inside the ship. So a deal was made - of course that being said they all had to rely on the hope that Liz wouldn't kill Tom in the meantime. Curious to see where they go with the second half of the season.

Taking away the dodgy CGI *shudder* I did like that we finally got her telling him about reading his books. Been waiting for that since Season One. Next week's episode looks like a hoot (expect no less with TPW writing).

I forgot about that. That's also when he had a look of realisation (not only taking her virginity but lying about his sexuality as well).

I haven't watched that episode in quite a while (so memory is hazy) but if remember Julianne saying something like if Layla has gotten to where she is, she must have slept with someone to move her way up the pecking order (and not just because she was on a reality show). But that is going off memory so I'd have to rewatch the episode to confirm.

Just a random useless piece of info about the promotion of 7.06 and 7.07 And having NF/SK promoting the ep. I was in a way surprised ABC had them out for 7.06, yes you'd get your stars out to promote a wedding but I'd be putting more emphasis on the episode after because that's when viewers will either continue to watch or go oh they're married now I won't tune in (yes there are some people who do that). Plus the chances of beating the fall finale of The Blacklist are slim I'd be trying to do the promotion push to beat State of Affairs. And I'll go back to my insomniac corner now.

I just realised I confused myself above (blame the massive lack of sleep today) I agree with what you've both said above about the backstories, etc. I meant that some people thought it was linked to Woods incident even though it's obvious in the long run it wouldn't be *blame the lack of sleep on that one* - but the Derek Storm thing I still back. Yes to this. I'd prefer we found out about the Woods and a flashback to getting the book signed. That's why I love the archives scene in Veritas because of the call back to S3 when it was mentioned. Instead we got what you mentioned above. I'm looking forward to the Western ep. If anyone can pull off an episode like that it is TPW.

Well going by what I had read about people's thoughts after Montreal most believed it had something to do with when Castle was a child, but now that Amann says it doesn't - I agree about not knowing anything about it. I'm back to the theory that he got too close in his researching of Derek Storm novels in the past and that's what triggered the turn of events (plus if mobsters are in the Christmas episode - then that could be a scenario where it's brought up again. Though highly unlikely).

Agree with you about all of this - hence why I put the preconceptions part above in.

I've always assumed that whenever the wedding was held it'd be tacked into an episode (and since it's coming in as the final act it could be considered that). The key for me will be this take away the AU element will there be any factors pre-AU that will affect how I look at the wedding (like something that is raised before Castle is zapped into the AU). I'm trying to wave away preconceptions but that is something I've questioned a lot since they did the month talk, etc. Well it'll definitely be in the final Act of the episode. So keeping that in mind I'd say look at previous episodes and final acts and that will give you an idea of the length of the wedding, etc.

Oops gotcha. Yeah they go there since the evidence leads them there and they're supposed to be heading for their honeymoon when it happens (well that's the gist I got from TV Line info and the leaked call sheet).

She's got it on - I had to watch it with brightened light to see it, but they finally got that one right. Hehe.

I think Roe's been mastering his skills from Bowman. To think Bowman has given us two of the lighter episodes (in terms of cinematography light and shade this season - Driven and Child's Play).
