Has Matt Letscher again found himself embroiled in scandalous happenings…?

TVLine has learned that Scandal‘s erstwhile bad boy Billy Chambers will guest-star in the Season 7 premiere of ABC’s Castle as Henry Jenkins, a security consultant who “provides Beckett with information on the most important case of her life.” http://tvline.com/2014/08/28/castle-season-7-premiere-matt-letscher/

and I thought her mom's case was done ;)

[madmaverick]

cappuccino, I think that's a reference to Castle being kidnapped.  Seems like they've got quite a few guest actors who will be involved with Castle's case.  Hope it's not too many interrogation scenes. ;)

 

Good point, Nadine.  I hadn't realised that TM's episode would be a sweeps episode.  May really be a wedding episode then.  Maybe they needed to switch filming order for the venue.

[verdana]

Luke please stop, take pity on us.

 

What is it with all the sparkly detailing that he seems to like? It's not classy or elegant.   

 

I'm looking forward to the first TPW episode.

The 7.05 title is actually 7.06 by Teri but because it's filming first the filming notices have 705 listed for it.

 

Ahhh. Got it. Thanks! 

[madmaverick]

Luke please stop, take pity on us.

 

What is it with all the sparkly detailing that he seems to like? It's not classy or elegant.   

 

He favours the flamboyant?  But that's not to my taste and it doesn't fit in with my idea of Beckett's tastes either.  When does she ever wear sparkly things in the wardrobe that Luke chooses for her? ;)  Give me simple and elegant any day. 

[Sonik Tooth]

Excited about this episode... obviously because Castle wears a new shirt :-)

[femmefan1946]

Why would they be using real guns in the first place? Are there no reasonable plastic fakes available?

[WendyCR72]

A lot of productions choose to use real guns. It's common. 

 

Yep, and that is why safety is crucial. Because God forbid there's another incident like what happened to Jon-Erik Hexum while on the set of Cover Up all the way back in 1984. (And for anyone who is too young to remember this or doesn't know who the actor is or about the incident, here you go.)

I think that dress, while extravagant, is waaaaay better than the first concoction he made. I personally don't think Beckett is a sparkly kind of girl (I think she likes sparkle, but not overly sequinned or jeweled). I see her as more a lace person.

[S55]

halwideman, I've been meaning to ask about your take on this new Derrick Storm series in development. Any thoughts or info you can share about its progress or what ABC's thinking about it is right now? I know it's part of a development deal they probably have with Milmar and, obviously, they're hoping for a lot of Castle fans to check it out if it gets picked up to series. Does ABC envision this as a legit replacement for Castle down the road? 

[McManda]

I didn't see this posted anywhere, and it made me laugh a lot. And almost want to play the Family Guy game.

Brandon Lee was the one I can immediately think of but thanks for the link Wendy.  Reading that article on Hexum, his mother did a wonderful thing and allowed her son's heart, kidneys, corneas and even skin to be donated - she made six people's lives immeasurably better even possibly saved them, despite suffering through her own tragedy.

Made me laugh too.  Funny stuff.  Thanks for that!  My favourite's probably, "Oh Canadaaa!".  He bellows it with gusto heh.  I've seen some screencaps of Nathan in the game and it cracks me up how he's basically half naked in the game spraying water on himself all the time.

[madmaverick]

I’m really curious how this will play out… and if they manage to start this whole new mythology without retconning Castle’s past.

 

Now that the Derek Storm show is in development, I wonder if the new mythology AM seems so keen on exploring on Castle this season, and these secrets with Castle that may unsettle Beckett, are all intended to tie in with that.  I hope no character gets dragged under the bus (again) for the sake of setting up a new show. I'm not sure it's plausible if it turns out Castle based Derek Storm on himself all those years ago or something like that.  How would they fit something like that with existing canon (being Alexis' full time Dad, shadowing Clara Strike at the CIA)?  Not saying they are going there, just speculating.  Castle's already found his previously secret CIA Dad so not sure what other secrets he can plausibly have in his past that Beckett doesn't know about.  Ideas?

 

Curious about the Montreal episode, the 2nd episode by AM which has been said to both be a semi 2 parter and not part of a 2 parter.  What could possibly take Castle and Alexis up to Montreal, relatively soon after Castle's return?  Got to be something to do with his disappearance/secrets, right? 

 

Excited about this episode... obviously because Castle wears a new shirt :-)

 

 

Heh, maybe that's finally a plaid shirt I can get on board with.  But we don't know for sure if that's Nathan's own shirt or part of Castle's wardrobe.

[femmefan1946]

I really worry about a stylist who knows so little about men's fashion that he wears a ball cap even though he is over 21. And not playing baseball or plowing the back forty.

[verdana]

Castle's already found his previously secret CIA Dad so not sure what other secrets he can plausibly have in his past that Beckett doesn't know about.  Ideas?

 

Oh I'm quite sure Marlowe can have the writers think of a few that'll knock your socks off.  

 

I must admit I can't think of anything he'd be keeping secret from Beckett at this stage which would be a big enough deal to unsettle her or make into some "mythology" and this is what worries me. All the ideas I've had sound like something out of a very bad day time soap. Marlowe loves doing big drama with them getting involved with the likes of the CIA etc so I'm figuring it will be tied into something there. 

 

Heh, maybe that's finally a plaid shirt I can get on board with.  But we don't know for sure if that's Nathan's own shirt or part of Castle's wardrobe.

 

I bet it's part of Castle's wardrobe, Luke figured they need an airing. Why isn't Beckett being more proactive when it comes to her guy's clothing? 

Edited August 29, 2014 by verdana

[madmaverick]

Castle's big secret is... he experimented with a guy in college.  Unsettling enough for Beckett lol?  Actually I don't think so heh.  The mythology is ex lovers coming back! Yay.

 

Or the CIA secretly implanted this device into Castle when he shadowed them... oh wait, that's this other show. ;)

 

Why isn't Beckett being more proactive when it comes to her guy's clothing?

 

If we can't see her take off his clothing, at least have her buy him some designer duds when she's out shopping for her own. ;)

Anything you can share about Castle‘s wedding? — @Always_db03

 

Does the fact that the wedding will probably happen in season 7 count as “anything”? New showrunner David Amann hinted as much when he chatted with my colleague Samantha Highfill. “We understand there’s disappointment,” he said. “We’re committed to the Castle-Beckett relationship. Over the course of season 7, their relationship will continue to blossom and grow, and perhaps some of the things that people might have wanted to see in season 6 may present themselves a little bit later.” One suggestion: Hold the wedding somewhere within walking distance of both the bride and the groom.

 

Before this would have excited me .. not so much anymore. In season 7 could mean the season 7 finale. Truth be told? I don't care anymore. It happens, it happens. As y'all can tell season 6 and especially the season 6 finale burned me bad. 

ETA: Scoop is via EW.com

[verdana]

Same here, I don't care about the wedding after that finale, it drained my enthusiasm completely. I'm fed up with these vague teasing statements being made that could mean from the premiere to the final episode of the season. Either give me more definitive information or shut the hell up. 

[madmaverick]

Hmm... I'm committed to the Castle-Beckett relationship, but I may or may not watch the show depending on whether some of the things I've wanted to see several seasons ago start presenting themselves in S7. ;) 

 

Oh well, at least there's no mention of 'fun' or 'organic' but overall it does nothing to excite me.

 

Questions I wish the new showrunner would answer:

 

- They know there's disappointment.  But do they really know how they eff-ed up by stretching out a thin, unsatisfying story arc for the whole season without payoff at the end, and are they doomed to repeat this in S7?  Do they think the disappointment doesn't really matter because "they know where the story is going and we don't"?

 

- Wedding aside, do they know what many people really want to see in the writing of the Caskett relationship?  I can name quite a few things... ;)  Do they realise the problems in their writing of Caskett are more than their failure to deliver on a wedding?  Sure, they can give us a great wedding in one episode (like they gave us the Always scene) but if after the high it's back to mostly unsatisfying stuff...

"perhaps", "might", "may".......

These kind of vague comments will continue to push viewers away as we get closer to premiere. IMO. What needs to happen is for viewership numbers to drop into the 4-5 million range for 7x1 and 7x2 in order to get attention. TPTB at ABC have taken the Castle audience for granted too long. Such a pathetic response by a so-called show runner!  It would be best if he just shut up or give the fans something more definitive.  So based on his words, fans may get something they want in season 7?  Fans should just wait and maybe MarMann will ‘probably’ give the fans something. In the meantime, please stay, you'll like it. Such BS!

[KaveDweller]

That sentence means absolutely nothing. I'm not sure he could be vaguer if he tried.

But hey, it's the first interview in awhile that doesn't use the word mythology.

[WendyCR72]

I think it was always meant to, and the special viewing is a sampler, so to speak.

[Cyranetta]

If S7 were able to keep the gimmickry to the COTW, I'd be happy to find the wedding more or less irrelevant. As it is now, I almost feel like the gimmickry is being attached to the characters, so that I don't have any confidence that established emotional throughlines won't be sacrificed. Considering that it's the established emotional throughlines (and not just Caskett, but Castle/Alexis, Castle/Martha, Beckett/the 12th) that, for me at least, have led to the appeal of the show, respecting them and amplifying them (Beckett/Lanie, Beckett/Alexis, Castle/publisher) would make for a far more "appointment television" opportunity than wedding WTWT.

[Samantha84]

Marlowe. Amann, & Co. have managed to get their couple together and still play the WTWT game. Only w the WTWT being get married.  PS: That's not a compliment. 

[Elysium1973]

I am so upset and so frustrated and so exhausted by this show and it's bloated narcissist sometimes show runner that the only organic, fun, "bite" I want to take out of this new mythology is to stop watching this car wreck disaster of a show. Like Vince said upthread, I hope 4 million watch. Or 2 million. With 0.8 in the demo. I wish, with all my heart, that this train wreck of a show gets cancelled mid season. I wish to heaven above that the greatest shit show Hack and his P.A. T. don't get their half assed Derek Dipshit Spin-Off that's not a Spin-Off off the ground.

I'm not going to get excited and cheer on that no talent hack loser Luke for presenting that fucking monstrosity of a dress. Was is that supposed to be? More goddamned punishment from MarMann (brilliant, BTW) about a fucking wedding we'll see perhaps before the end of season 7 (e.g. the end of this clusterfuck of a show)?

And the thing that has me the most galled? Jesus, who gives a flying fuck about Hacklowe dicking us around with a wedding that probably won't happen - and even if it did - no one would give a shit about it anyway. And that is an accomplishment, you two bit "Beautiful Mind" vainglorious slug. To piss away all the fan goodwill from seasons 1-3 and the Always scene. You managed to destroy all of it for dicking your fans around for spending your back nine episodes in wedding prep that was goddamned boring in the first place and then. And then, you asshole. You savant. You and your genius wife gave us this. And you weren't fucking kidding.

In retrospect, here was season 3

http://youtu.be/9W4hcY8Wj2E
 

Do all of you feel this way, of course not. I know some of you are die hard fans and will believe in this show until the final curtain calls. Do you know what show I felt that way about? Moonlighting. I loved it until the end. I based an entire career on it. So I don't begrudge fans who still love this show, truly I don't.

I'm just so tired of being let down. I really, really loved this show once. I loved it intensely. It came into my life at a dark time and it lifted my spirits (not that any of you give a shit about that). At this point the only thing I have left are some of the truly great friends I've made on this board (you island dwellers know who you are). I think I'm out of hope for season 7 and I hope (for its own sake) that this show ends this year. I also truly, truly hope that Stana, Nathan, Susan, Jon, Seamus, Ruben, Tamala, and Penny all find wonderful projects in the future.

Wow. Sorry, Elysium, but you're the first person I have ever heard that from. And I'm afraid I also fall into the camp that Moonlighting turned to incomprehensible shit after the Dave/Maddie furniture-breakfest sexytimes. And no, NOT because they hooked up, but because of the WTF storytelling that followed.

 

But good for you for being brave enough to say that, even with the wedding to a stranger by Maddie that I'd love to ever forget. LOL!

[Cranberry]

"perhaps", "might", "may".......

These kind of vague comments will continue to push viewers away as we get closer to premiere. IMO. 

 

Keep in mind that most viewers of any given primetime drama don't discuss it or look for info about it on the Internet. I'm sure that out of the 12 million or so viewers who regularly watch Castle, only a handful know who David Amann is, and even fewer go looking for interviews with him. I wouldn't worry much about a few vague lines driving viewers away in droves.

[verdana]

Marlowe. Amann, & Co. have managed to get their couple together and still play the WTWT game. Only w the WTWT being get married.  PS: That's not a compliment. 

The WTWT game is the only one Marlowe and co know how to play which explains the whole of S6 and especially the crapfest of the finale and the vagueness of their teasing over when they will finally get married because after that they've got nothing and know it. That's the only dynamic Marlowe feels comfortable with when it comes to writing relationships and the idea of them finally becoming a settled, married couple with no more hurdles to clamber painfully over each season scares him because then he'd have to work on developing the characters more to take up the slack and he's shown scant desire to do that. 

 

That's partly why I feel S7 will be the last, despite no clear sign yet that's the case, Castle and Beckett have no scope to develop in the way he prefers writing them long term, which means the show has run out of gas. We may get a S8 because Marlowe figures he can use Castle to get his spin off show off the ground but after that I bet they decide to call it a day.

But that's just it Wendy,whereas Moonlighting was groundbreaking, Emmy award winning television, Castle is..well, what the fuck is Castle?  Winner of the PCA's mostly at the behest of twitter huster Fillion? Do you see it being in the annals of television for students to be studying in the years and decades to come?  Will it be compared to The Good Wife? Or even Scandal? Or Moonlighting?  Because it won't.  I'm saying this as a student of media.  I don't begrudge you loving this show.  I loved this show for a long time.  But even at the height of my affection did I ever think it was going to win an Emmy or Golden Globe.  No one will likely study it in an RTV program.  At my school (top 10) they're studying True Blood, Twin Peaks, 70's comedies to modern comedies, and a lot of pedantic stuff you probably wont care about unless you have your PhD in gloabal media (I don't).

 

Love this show until the end.  I'm not saying not to. I wish with all my heart I could love it the same way.  I'm tired of being jerked around by third rate talent, that's all.

It's okay; Confession-wise, I quit it as weekly watching 3 seasons ago. Which is why I can be pretty meh now, yet still offer a quip or two along the way!  :-)

[WendyCR72]

This is getting out of hand. This is not kindergarten. This is not a court of law. This is a TV SHOW. And people are allowed to LOVE OR HATE a show AS LONG AS posters are not attacked and those differences are discussed WITH RESPECT.

 

So remember that and, as Nike said, JUST DO IT.

 

And if there are posters you do not care to interact with, you have two options: Scroll and IGNORE THEM or use the Ignore feature that is available. No one will change another's mind, and no one should be prevented from discussing the show. Again, however, it CAN include dislike as well as like. Differences promote discussion.

 

This is why we're here.

 

So do as above. If this keeps up, other remedies may have to be taken.

[Cyranetta]

@Nathanfillion’s theory on s6 finale of #castle is someone who changes lane s/o using the signal light & pulled him over and a similar car was in the accident. #fanexpocan

 

I thought it was interesting when he compared his role of Castle to Captain Mal and said playing Castle was easy and Mal never sucked, for easy I read uninteresting plus the character of Mal never had time so get screwed over by the showrunner unlike Castle who had more depth of character in the first few seasons than he does now.

Now that the Derek Storm show is in development, I wonder if the new mythology AM seems so keen on exploring on Castle this season, and these secrets with Castle that may unsettle Beckett, are all intended to tie in with that.

I can’t really see how they would do it. As you said, there is really no way Castle could have been someone like Derrick Storm (only in a parallel universe), and then they’ve already been down this CIA route with Sophia and his father. Maybe they could use his books, as in something he’s written about represents itself as a danger to national security or has taken place in reality and Castle doesn’t remember what or who gave him the idea long time ago…

Marlowe/Amann are not exactly forthcoming in their interviews, and I can’t think of any circumstances that would allow them to resolve this new mythology in bits and pieces sprinkled throughout the season. The weak conclusion I drew from their “spoilers” so far is that Castle was unknowingly involved in something in the past (which basically can mean anything from partaking to overhearing or seeing) and now had to be somewhere else for a certain amount of time.

 

As for the wedding, I’m thankful for the temporary reprieve. The show is already ridiculous but that would be taking it a bit too far for my taste. Unless they steer completely into the funny/ slapstick territory or reinvent themselves.

[madmaverick]

So even they're calling it a day now? 

 

Agreed they'll be missed.

 

The sad thing about those accounts is that they were infinitely more entertaining, funny and imaginative then the official ones. 

Absolutely!  Bummer.  I'm going to miss the parody accounts.  It was like one long and tasty bite-sized fanfic.  If it had to end, it was quite nice ending it on all the wedding advice offered.  I thought we might actually see them through to their wedding (and hot, sexy aftermath 'cause the banter there was way wittier and sexier than the actual show) before hiatus ended.

 

A report on Nathan's panel at fan expo Canada: http://nerdbastards.com/2014/08/30/fan-expo-nathan-fillion-wins-the-con-qa/

 

Cool that Nathan gave off autographed bits of S7 Castle scripts to his fans, and cool that no one's actually posted spoilers from them yet.

 

A fan gave him an actual browncoat on stage and I loved seeing him in one after all these years.  And dare I say that coat actually fit better than many of Luke's (not hard, I know).

 

He also talked a bit about Seamus and Jon at his panel and said he would have to do 2 separate cop buddies with them because they were both funny and he couldn't choose between them.  Also found it funny that apparently Jon got himself an electric scooter as well after thinking Nathan's was cool, and then Seamus decided he couldn't be the guy without a scooter lol.  Can just imagine these 3 dorks racing their scooters during downtime on set.

 

Does Castle actually have Martha on his shoulders (!) in that photo on top of the piano in the loft?  Imagined it was Alexis.  Camera never really stops there so I can't be sure but I do remember some nice family photos, some black and white ones.  High time they added a Castle/Beckett photo to the mix.  Too bad I don't really like their one and only photo in a frame.  Too photoshopped.

When I read that I was like huh? I don't remember that! I'll have to look next time.  Typical that they don't have a great photo of Castle and Beckett together to put with them, yeah I didn't like that photo shopped one either.

So even they're calling it a day now?

    

    Agreed they'll be missed.

    

    The sad thing about those accounts is that they were infinitely more entertaining, funny and imaginative then the official ones.

Absolutely!  Bummer.  I'm going to miss the parody accounts.  It was like one long and tasty bite-sized fanfic.  If it had to end, it was quite nice ending it on all the wedding advice offered.  I thought we might actually see them through to their wedding (and hot, sexy aftermath 'cause the banter there was way wittier and sexier than the actual show) before hiatus ended.

Apparently it was all the work of @fembot77. Pity she's not on the writing staff. (Damn sinuses fogged my brain and I got the name wrong the first go-round)

I thought it was interesting when he compared his role of Castle to Captain Mal and said playing Castle was easy and Mal never sucked, for easy I read uninteresting plus the character of Mal never had time so get screwed over by the showrunner unlike Castle who had more depth of character in the first few seasons than he does now.

 

It's kind of hard to interpret what he meant based on a Tweet of someone summarizing his comment (if I am understanding where it came from correctly). I agree about the character of Mal never having time to get screwed over, or to suffer from burnt-out writers.  He's talked about Castle being easy from the beginning though.  I remember a S1 interview where he said he was a lot like Castle.

They've said good-bye and then come back before, maybe over the winter hiatus.  They don't seem to post when there are new episodes.

I thought it was so nice that when we saw Beckett's DC apartment they showed a framed Castle/Beckett picture (even though the hair made it obvious it was taken before Caskett actually got together).  Is that the photoshopped on you meant? I keep looking for a new Caskett one in the loft, but it hasn't shown up. Castle has pictures of him and Alexis on his dresser too, he should add one with Beckett.

Maybe they could use his books, as in something he’s written about represents itself as a danger to national security or has taken place in reality and Castle doesn’t remember what or who gave him the idea long time ago…

 

That would be really interesting, if done well.  I could see that be the reason he was kidnapped (which makes more sense than him keeping some big secret about his past).

Think about the logistics involved with somebody kidnapping him. The wedding location was a spur of the moment decision. It would have to be someone who not only knew about the wedding but also that Castle would be traveling on his wedding day. Unless they have been trailing along behind them throughout the whole forgotten wedding cluster**** it almost has to be someone with up to date knowledge on Castle. The good thing is with their track record & attention to detail I'm sure we are in for a believable & engaging story.

I remember him saying that Castle was a lot like him but at least back then although there were probably similarities I thought he created a character that was distinctive and fleshed out with scope for further development. However, over the last season or so it feels sometimes what I'm watching is Nathan Fillion joking around on set with his pals because there's so little substance injected in there to support Castle as a character by the writers. 

 

The great thing about Firefly of course as Nathan himself has admitted is that it didn't have time to grow old and stale like too many shows end up doing.
