Did anyone else get a little queasy at the mention of Castle being photographed with another woman? It's a well they go to entirely too often for my taste. Busty reporters, ninjas, strippers, talk of all Castle's prior conquests, it really grates. I don't want to think about him with other women. It grosses me out and it's totally disrespectful to the character of Beckett. Not helping matters is Fillion's obvious relish in all women other than Kate. Can't they find anything else to generate drama other than distrust?

Oh I missed that implication in the review (I presume you're talking about the one from Your Entertainment Corner) but going back to read it again I guess that could be what they were implying but I hope it's not because I'm sick and tired of Castle being thrown together with random women as a means of creating doubt for Beckett as to Castle's true nature, it shows a distinct lack of ideas if they do.

Tbh, this drama is more interesting than the show has been in quite some time.

If Beckett still has real doubts about Castle and she can be convinced so easily instead of focusing on why someone would go to all the trouble to kidnap him on his wedding day, then Castle should be the one “unsettled”. The Espo attitude towards Castle is just tedious as usual. This kind of twist (cold feet;runaway groom) coming from Amann writing the episode is a little surprising. If this scenario takes up a lot of screen time in the premiere, I might switch over to watch the rest of NCIS:LA. However, from my reading of one of the early screener reports, there is NOT another woman involved at all.

I didn't really know where this fits and this isn't really media, but  - Castle is filming through Friday at Paramount Ranch, obviously for the western themed episode. It's where they filmed Dr. Quinn for the six years it was on the air. Nathan's already been there once, though - they also filmed an episode of Firefly ("Safe") there.

 

Being a pretty big Dr. Quinn fan (I was pretty obsessed at one point), I think that's pretty cool.

There's a pretty big complaint that the books are a good, interesting idea that ends up poorly written and often edges a bit too far into lady-porn land.  - about Outlander

Given the first episode included a scene of cunnilingus (within marriage, I should point out) they seem to have gone with the lady-porn. Not that I object to that.
But oh lord, poorly written books! There is an egregious error on page one of the first book that nearly stopped me reading entirely.

but his pronunciation of Fillion made me laugh a bit.
Trebek is from Ottawa. He uses the proper Quebecois pronunciation. Nathan is from Alberta. Big difference.

 

I was at an Ottawa Science Fiction Society event for the premiere of Agents of SHIELD and Forever came on just before it. The women liked it well enough, but no one was enthusiastic. And remember this is a group that has plans for surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, accepts that a flat planet could move through space on the back of four elephants themselves on the back of a turtle, and includes at least one published author of hilarious vampire novels.
On the other hand, Gotham was getting pretty good reviews from most of us.

For the record, the event was in a pub and over half the attendees were women. Ages from 20+ to well over 60 (me). SF is taking over broadcast and cable TV.

 

Yeah there are the commercials that stick out,

Again, from the OSFS group, we were actually watching and enjoying the commercials. But these were the Canadian ones. Some were pretty racy.

 

Have we had any cults on Castle? I sense a theme...
Nathan is a one man cult. Mind you I speak from an SF perspective. But women of all ages, from barely pubescent to post menopausal seem to have much the same reaction to him. Or maybe it’s just a Canadian thing

Outside of the rock doc cult, it seems like XYZB35c whatever, has attracted a following if not a cult. Where does he get the money, I want to know?

 

Instead of a Derrick Storm show, give Martha a comedy spin off revolving around her social life and acting studio. Judd can play her love interest if Forever doesn't last past the season.

I’m in. There was a Washington Post article recently that said broadcast TV was only watched by us oldies. So cater to us for Ghu’s sake! We’ll buy your Depends and walking bathtubs. Just give us Susan and Judd. And throw in Ron Glass because he was the second sexiest thing on Firefly.

halwideman. Thanks for the clarification on that, yeah I agree that review seems rather confusing the way it's been written you can read certain things into which are probably way off. 

 

VinceW. Now you've said that, I do remember a fan asked one reviewer if there was a woman involved to cause problems between them and the answer was a firm no, which is a relief.

Thanks for the information, good memories there for Nathan. God I loved Dr Quinn so I'm even more excited now. If ever there was a good time for some of these fans who keep following the cast around on location to get some decent BTS shots, this episode would be one of them.

So, Nathan's going to livetweet the premiere. Interesting. Wonder who else will join the livetweet party with him & Penny now. 

 

ETA: Jinx madmaverick! ;) 

According to Lisa Schomas aside from Nathan and Penny there will be Molly and Tamala.

halaci. You were right and they're almost there according to tumblr only 30,000 odd to go in order to reveal the extended sneak peek.

 

And now I'm going to be the big conspiracy theorist: in the past 12 hours it was an almost steady 3000/hour increase (I worked, so I checked back regularly). Anybody who knows how these things work know that either it goes viral and then there is an exponentially groving increase, or stays local and then there is a decreasing return, and at least a wave pattern, according to the daylight/nighttime hours. A continous, fixed amount increase is ... organic.

Ooh I was wondering which ranch they were gonna use for the western ep. That's cool that Nathan gets to revisit a set tho I wonder how many firefly references we could possibly get. I had no idea that the ranch is on national park land and it looks like super easy to get to the set. Heh move to CO and end up being more outdoorsy, into hiking and visiting nps than growing up in SoCal.

 

 

And throw in Ron Glass because he was the second sexiest thing on Firefly.

So I got to be in the same room as him with a couple of hundred other extras for a 2 day shoot in the gym when a direct to dvd movie was filmed at my high school. Ron played the school's principal but I don't remember if he interacted with anyone besides crew members off camera. Mostly I remember Kevin Pollak cracking jokes between takes and getting to sit in front of the guy who played Justin on Party of Five. A side note, I did love pulling up to "Sunnydale High" one afternoon in a bus since my hs soccer team travel to Torrance to play them.

 

I did loled earlier when I saw the castle and art dept twitter promoting the fb likes.

they've already been told a wedding will happen before the end of the year

 

that's the usual Castle season building method. They promise in September that they will do something meaningful in the middle of the year, and fans are calming themselves in the next months that no matter how boring or meaningless the show is, there will be something great. Than it happens or not, but then comes the "finale must be great" mantra, and then rinse, dry, repeat the next season. Does anybody remember the "SO's story will be solved in the first half of the season" line from S3? I have no doubt that they will do the wedding now, even though Marlowe would probably like to honestly and organically postpone it till the end of time - that was just a too big mistake not to make amends.

You got Marlow's M.O. spot on.  Strikes me how the much the writers are in a position of weakness when they basically signpost when the wedding will be and try to send out these reassurances about Caskett to keep people watching.  I don't see The Good Wife writers doing anything of that sort and revealing any pivotal upcoming storylines or when they will take place.  Never happens with cable dramas like Game of Thrones (imagine letting out clues about the Red Wedding lol).  If you're confident about your storytelling, you don't really need to signpost your storylines ahead of time.

 

What they don't seem to understand, or perhaps they do, is I don't care what kind of wonderful wedding we get if I have to sit through crap to get there, or if the characters have to undergo character assassination to get there.  The horrible 'arcs' they did with Castle and Beckett leading up to Always and the proposal both left a terrible taste in my mouth regardless of how it was resolved and damaged the characters in the process (unnecessarily, imo).  And I agree that they are generally bad with delivering big payoffs (except Always, but even there it was a creaky path to get there).  After having to suffer through all that Pi last season and damaging Alexis' character most of all which she hasn't really recovered from, have they learned their lesson about sticking in an unpalatable storyline? ;)

 

Any wedding we get is likely to be less wonderful to me if I have to endure doubts (obstacles are part of every great love story as we are constantly reminded ;)) about Castle's character from Beckett (or if he's revealed to have a different personality altogether).  After being her bomb buddy till the final few seconds and everything they've been through together, she shouldn't be doubting.  Even if she has doubts she shouldn't be having about his feelings for her, she should not be even thinking for a second he'd willingly leave his mother and daughter behind in this traumatic fashion.  We'll see, but it's already irking me that they're going again in this doubting Castle direction.  Couldn't they make it dramatically interesting by removing that questionable element? ;)  I would find it more appealing to watch if Beckett never stops believing in her man and Castle was just a victim on what should have been the happiest day of his life.  They have an emotional, moving reunion, get married and then are a strong team to bring down the big bad.  Castle's strength is as a likeable show with likeable characters. Dessert after dinner.  Doesn't usually go well when they start making characters unlikeable, intentionally or not.  

 

- Music: sorry, I'm not such a great fan of Duncan's work. In some places it is great, but to me the first seasons episodes, where there were selected soundtracks also, those worked better.

 

I miss those selected soundtracks too.  Better balance between songs and a musical score would be preferred.  At least we got 'In My Veins' again.

 

Oh yes and hev have another side of the super-duper-model-guitar player-car racer-skateboarder-scrabble master detective: Kate "Linebacker" Beckett.

 

I am not looking forward to Kate "Fingerbreaker" Beckett. ;)  Seriously, that is a turn off not a turn on.  What happened to the Beckett who lectured Castle about the rules in S1?

I don't know, maybe she's in some dumpster? To me it looks like that Marlowe (in his usual, subtle way) wants to compensate Barbie Beckett with Badass Beckett. The more glamourous she is, the more often she goes on a rampage. 

 

I don't mind when they depict her as an adequate fighter - hell, their sparring scene with Demming was one of the highlight of an otherwise strong season. I don't have reservation about her lithe figure either - a fragile-looking woman can be a convincing martial artist, see Ming Na Wen in SHIELD, to stay with the channel. (OFF: that lady must be an alien, looking this good in 51. Non human.) 

 

I could live even with her losing her mind and being violent in crisis situations - though would be good if they refrain from using it so often and I definitely don't see it as being badass, just the opposite. (Marlowe obviously hasn't read Asimov's Foundation: Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.) What I can't tolerate is that after her being out of mind, kicking off not just the tables and suspects but all the ethics and norms to which she had sworn of, she just waltz away, as if these tantrums were completely OK to her. No questions, no doubts, guilt or remorse I don't even want to mention. (That she has never been punished for those I chalk to the "this is just fiction" board, the former is more important to me.)

Probably better in the general media - I'm surprised that they made the photos only now. Usually the promo photos are made during the first week of the shooting, sometime in July.

There are some out there who honestly don't seem to care what hoops the characters get made to jump through as long as they end up together and most importantly happy at the end of the day. I wish I could see things the same way it would make my viewing over these last few seasons more rewarding. But to me the journey is just as important as the destination but I sense Marlowe wants me to forget about whatever convoluted, contrived angst they've waded through and concentrate on the end result, that's getting increasingly difficult to do as Caskett accumulate more complicated baggage and battle scars.

The Beckett of back then might as well have been on another show. I'm sad they moved away from that in order to generate more serious drama and thrills.

 

I don't find violence sexy or cool and I don't find women (or men) losing total control heroic or worthy of applause. I especially don't care to see Beckett acting in this way when the following week they forget all about it and she's back to the stand up cop seeking justice for the victims.   But I doubt Marlowe wants me to dwell on these things and get unsettled by them, I should exist in the moment and admire the sight of all that Beckett badassery on display and then shrug it off like the characters do.

My problem is right that: they didn't generate more serious drama. The generate more exalted dramas with big theatrics, but - exactly because none of it has aftermath - these aren't serious ones. Plus what could be more serious (in case if there are characters with personalities, not cardboard puppets) than somebody's inner conflict between the necessary and the right thing? Or the knowledge that she did something which is against her own ethics?

I nave always felt this way but the show runners honestly never have. It's not just the character damaging stuff that gets ignored. Things happen just to affect the audience not the characters. The kiss in Knockdown, Castle leaving all broken hearted in Countdown, Beckett reading Royce's letter in the LA episode. None of these things mattered the next episode or any episode after that. They were there just to get an emotional response from the viewers & not part of the ongoing story. To me it's all about building a world where events matter. Where b follows a and the story has some kind of consistency. Where characters act in character and I'm not scratching my head wondering why the hell did they do that.

Sad thing? I'm indifferent to Castle right now. The finale, the post finale Marlowe interviews, the reviews for the premiere? They've all added to my indifference w. the show. What's worse than hate? Indifference. B/c at least when I was mad it came from a place of wanting the show I loved to be better. Now? I don't really care. 

I just swapped my season 1 and 2 DVDs and erased past season episodes off my DVRs.

I'm totally with you @Samantha24 regarding the indifference. I just recently scheduled myself a vacation where I'll be away from TV reception on Castle premiere day. I didn't do it deliberately. I just didn't remember, because I didn't care. My indifference has been growing until now Castle isn't on my radar screen. And I'm sure if the show fails because you and I are members of a legion of indifferent viewers, the "Moonlighting Curse" will be blamed. The reality is the PTB didn't write the romance well, at least for many of us. They had a HUGE opportunity, and as far as I'm concerned, they completely blew it.

If you want to REALLY lower your expectations though, watch "The Mysteries of Laura," which seems to be a combination of The Office and Castle. Suddenly you'll think Castle is genius television.

BTW, I am startled at the number of cinnamon brown super-model-length haired cops that have sprung up on my TV lately. Could they be Beckett copycats?

Ok, now we've got crossovers from Castle to Debra Messing's new show The Mysteries of Laura (yeah, I read the reviews, but I love her, and so far it's kinda fun).  I'll allow the stock flying over New York bits between scenes, but this was a bit much:  guess what the new guy at the precinct bought for the team in the second episode?C'mon, take a guess....yeah, you're right - an espresso machine.  And, surprise, the lead female cop didn't like it.

Ok this should be in here.

 

When I saw this, my first thought was they're shooting wedding promo pictures ahead of this wedding which is supposed to happen by end of 2014. And those will be the main promo shots for this season. It's a lovely backdrop/outdoor location for wedding photos and could even end up being the location where Castle & Beckett get married (Central Park, maybe?).

If it's true they were shooting publicity photos, then yeah, I think they are likely wedding photos doubling as promo shots, and count me as pleasantly surprised that we're getting something after all.  ABC has never budgeted for promo shots shot in an outdoor location.  Or maybe they are budgeting it into the episode.

 

A Central Park type location would be nice.  Definitely beats the precinct and the loft for me, though maybe not quite as gorgeous as The Hamptons.  I'm still a fan of the wedding being held outdoors.

 

A continous, fixed amount increase is ... organic.

 

Heh. ;)  I guess they must be going after twitter mentions too if they are getting 4 cast members to live tweet. Isn't that a record for this show?

Wasn't the concrete bridge and walkway path underneath used in the s2 finale? I do hope they used a part of the area that wasn't used for a crime scene. The Rose Garden at the Huntington Library would've a good place to have wedding pics done but it seems to be used to represent the DC area in other tv and movies.

Thanks for the update, S55.  Oh well.  Like Nathan said, what TV show doesn't like to get its people all dressed up?  And this is another version of that heh.  I hope they don't end up looking too comedic... wardrobe in Luke's hands can be scary.

 

Let's hope we'll still see Castle in a tux and Beckett in a non hideous wedding dress this season.

What happened to the Beckett who lectured Castle about the rules in S1?

 

Beckett has always lost control when the cases/people involved are personal.  That's nothing new.  We didn't have any personal crises back in S1, so we didn't see this.  But she said that she lost control before over her mom's case so I think it was supposed to be part of her backstory.

 

But the reviews of the premiere? I have to see it for myself, because reviews are always clouded with bullshit. Good and bad.

 

Yeah, I agree.  I have to see it before I complain.  I know the show doesn't have the best writers, but I feel like people are always expecting the worst, especially with regard to Becektt's character. If Castle is really missing for two months, and they keep finding evidence that points to Castle being behind it, then I don't think it's terrible if she has a moment or two where she questions things.  Not because she shouldn't trust Castle but because it's got to be hard on her emotionally and people sometimes have weak moments in situations like that.  As long as she then calms down and realizes does still believe in him, I'd be okay with that.

 

Now if she doubts him right away or doesn't want to look for him because of whatever evidence this is that's another story.  I don't see that happening though.

Why did they cut back on those selected soundtracks which were so effective in the earlier seasons? Is it simply down to cost? I must admit the musical score now rarely makes me sit up and take notice and the only song I can remember in recent times is In My Veins and Robert Duncan's Always theme but that's about it.

The most frustrating one out of that bunch for me was probably the letter from Royce, watching Kate's reaction to his words and then looking across to Castle I honestly though this was going to deeply resonate with Beckett, more fool me. It ended up having zero emotional impact, she might as well have never read it.

I get some care, but I have to agree it's unimportant in the grand scheme of things. It has no bearing on how long the show airs despite what some think. It's about the money, honey. ABC likely wants to save a few bucks. And older shows sometimes don't rate.

 

Not to mention the ABC pictures usually suck, anyway, so isn't it better to have no pictures than half-assed ones?

 

The next DVD cover will probably be an unreleased pic from prior seasons.

But clearly I'm in the minority with that. So I learned from then on to never trust anyone else's review except my own.

 

Expectations play a big role in things like that though.  If you have no expectations you can be pleasantly surprised.  But when you expect amazing things you can be disappointed.

 

honestly though this was going to deeply resonate with Beckett, more fool me. It ended up having zero emotional impact, she might as well have never read it.

 

That tends to be their preferred style on this show.  The less continuity the better.

This may be a stupid question, but I've laid off spoilers. For those of you who are still reading everything/have seen/have heard about the premiere and might be in the know, what do we know about this time jump? TVLine says it's "rather significant" and I know it's Castle's MO to feature a time jump in their premiere, but we're not talking ... years ... are we? I can deal with the usual, but I don't know if I'll like something that could be considered "rather significant".

They have copied so many other shows, now I'm sure that copying that scene would blow up the net. Would be the first for a long time I would love to see, even though I'm not too thrilled about the Brokeback Mountain-ish ideas. My experiences are that the more distinctive is the set, the less effort they made with the script, hoping that nobody would care.

Wendy. I agree with you about the photo shoot and I'm one of those fans who don't care and I'm quite relieved they didn't have one given what has gone before but I do understand how some were really disappointed they never got one, I guess it was the way his response came across that got me.  

 

I think some people may feel like if the show gets a photo shoot it means something because then the Network/Studio care about it.

 

Yeah this and because they didn't for quite a few fans it then triggered concerns that ABC are getting ready to wash their hands of the show.  Not that ABC's marketing has even been that wonderful when it comes to Castle and its only probably going to get worse as time goes on.

What got me thinking was the mention of a GPS tracker. Either Ryan or Espo says his phone is deactivated and they already asked the FBI to try turning it back on.... so what GPS tracker does Castle still have on him ? Did they implant a chip or something ? Or is the phone's GPS still active ?

I think that the SP with no GPS was a scene before the junkyard - probably Esposito's request to turn on his phone remotely was successful.

Naughty Richard.

#CastleSeason7

At least someone knows how to promote the show. Aaaah those were the days when Richard Castle was smoking hot, savvy, charming and possessed a backbone and Beckett looked like a cop. That was when Castle and Beckett in an interview room meant heat, fireworks and something interesting happening. Now Castle often isn't there and when he is he might as well not be for all the difference it makes to their interactions. I often fast forward through the interrogation scenes now. Edited by verdana

OK the Western wardrobe doesn't look too bad from a distance...but it's too soon to tell.  I'm definitely looking forward to western style more than 70s style!

 

So I guess this is an episode that's actually set in the wild west with them playing different people, in a different time period altogether like The Blue Butterfly, and it's not just a COTW that happens on a present day ranch featuring cowboys.  I wonder who is going to play the gay cowboy in the closet.  Ryan?  Are they all going to be speaking with a drawl?  Are we going to get a homage to Morricone in the score?  I'm glad this episode is being written TPW.

I miss naughty Richard playing with naughty Beckett.  

 

Oy, that sounds kinda dirty.  But maybe they should be! 

 

A Castle lookalike like Forever, whilst perfectly serviceable, just didn't have the crackle and pop and sizzle Caskett had in their pilot interrogation scene.  It's what hooked me to Castle and not a million other crime procedurals.

I'm not so sure about it being like The Blue Butterfly. I thought it was a case where they got summoned to a ranch in the present day in the teaser from TV Line but I much prefer your idea because it allows more scope for the writers and wardrobe dept they can really let their imagination run riot, although that might not necessarily be a good thing..
