S55 February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 (edited) Castle sure loves casting people from 24 don't they? Since Reiko and Carlos Bernard played my favorite couple on 24 (I was a big fan), I love that they've now both been on the show. If they want to try for Kiefer Sutherland or Dennis Haysbert next, I'm fine with that. ;) It would be amusing to see Dennis and Penny in scenes together or even connected somehow in the story. lol Edited February 28, 2015 by S55 Link to comment

And give them an actual storyline, Gates needs something to do almost as much as Lanie does. Or have Caskett out on a date night and bump into them (although that would have worked better out in season 5). Keifer Sutherland is probably out of Castle's reach though. Link to comment

Or have Caskett out on a date night and bump into them (although that would have worked better out in season 5). That would be awesome to have Dennis be Gates's husband. They could run into the Castles at a restaurant and the COTW victim could die there and maybe be a friend of Gates. Since the restaurant is in the 12th precinct area you could have Ryan and Espo show up. If Perlmutter was the ME for the case would he actually say his snarky comments to Castle when Gates is present? Link to comment
S55 February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 Does The Old Haunt serve meals? Are you referring to the real-life location they used for filming? If so, yes. It's a bar/restaurant called Casey's and the food is pretty good. :) Link to comment
Driad February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 I was referring more to the fictional Old Haunt because I'd like to see it again. If TPTB want it to serve meals, say to a group of NYPD detectives and their SOs, it will. :-) Link to comment
turnitwayup February 28, 2015 Author Share February 28, 2015 They built a PI office for a 3 ep use and held onto Beckett's apartment set when we rarely saw it last season so I kinda wish they just build an Old Haunt set and have a few storylines use it. It can always be decorated differently if needed for different bars for whatever COTW. Currently the hospital set is like semi-permanent since we've seen it so many times this season. Link to comment

Currently the hospital set is like semi-permanent since we've seen it so many times this season.They appear to like wasting money building sets. I bet that office of his never gets seen again. When Marlowe said it was too expensive to keep going on location to these places like The Old Haunt, I immediately thought why not build part of a set, you can film it in such a way that no one would know. I'd like to see them interacting more outside the precinct and the loft and a bar is a perfect place to do that and get other cast members easily involved. I don't know why they've never bothered especially given all the comments in the past about going for drinks or out to Remy's. Edited February 28, 2015 by verdana Link to comment

turnitwayup February 28, 2015 Author Share February 28, 2015 So Claire Kaufman, the set decorator has started tweeting. She tweeted out this article that was done last season during the Pi arc. Several pics of Beckett's apartment, a few of the loft, a couple from Alexis/Pi apartment and a few hotel/apartments from various eps. Great read but I had no idea that Castle's brown sofa got re-upholstered, but I definitely notice the new kitchen decor and still not a fan of the new backsplash. It's interesting that the decor had to change due to shooting in HD format. I love it when we get insight into the sets. 1 Link to comment

Thanks for the link, what a fantastic job to have, I seem to recall something being mentioned about the sofa from the Castle Art Dept at the time. This caught me eye since I'm always curious about their budget and how it gets spent. Obviously, the items for the permanent sets are mostly purchases, except for some appliances or a few pieces from my flat deal with Warner Bros. We are constantly updating and tweaking the permanent sets, a full-time job in itself, including cleaning and re-setting! I have fresh flowers brought in each week for Castle’s loft, based on the idea that this was an annual birthday gift from him to his mother, flowers from the florist every week of the year. And I make a point to regularly change out the bed linens. Who has the same ones every day?” Wow, fresh flowers once a week, if Martha leaves I wonder do the flowers stop? It may be only a minor thing but that's got to add up and I laughed about changing the bed linen, as they hardly spend any time in bed and even when they do they've usually got enough layers of clothing on to go off and explore the Antarctic. I wish Alexis would find the urge to get herself another apartment they could decorate. Edited March 1, 2015 by verdana 1 Link to comment

CASTLE AND BECKETT TEAM UP WITH A HOT-SHOT FEMALE DETECTIVE “Hong Kong Hustle” – After a man is mysteriously murdered in a park, Castle and Beckett team up with a competitive, high-powered female detective from Hong Kong, who has information about the victim. But as Beckett digs deeper into the case, she realizes neither her Hong Kong colleague nor the victim may be quite who they seem, on “Castle,” MONDAY, MARCH 16 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

verdana March 3, 2015 Share March 3, 2015 (edited) Castle First Look: Can Linda Park's Hong Kong Cop Outgun Beckett? at TV Line with some new pictures. My first thought reading this is so what if she is better than Beckett? I've never thought she was that insecure in terms of her job, in relationships yes but otherwise she seemed confident enough in her own abilities that she could hold her own and she must know there are other people out there in the big, wide world as good or (gasp!) even better than she is. I hope Amann is exaggerating when he talks about Beckett going into a bit of a tailspin. Seems rather naive and silly. Still not keen on that side parting she's got going on there and it looks lank.

McManda March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 Tumblr link to the photos for anyone (like me) that doesn't like clicking through a gallery. Not a fan of the side part, but I do kind of like it when it's pulled back. And they're back at the gun range! From the holes in the paper, it looks like Hong Kong detective has a cluster of headshots, whereas Beckett's are all body shots. But from the synopsis from Amann, apparently there's more to the Hong Kong detective than meets the eye", so my guess is either she's got a personal involvement with the case (like Colin Hunt), is a ninja (like "The Way of the Ninja"), or is actually the killer or something. Something that makes Beckett go "oh, we'll at least I'm not - " or realize that having a personal relationship with Castle trumps perfect headshots at a gun range. Link to comment
femmefan1946 March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 But the HK dectective has a movie star husband, not 'just' a writer. Do headshots cause more or less paperwork than a surviving perp? Would the totalitarian government of HK care ? Is it easier or harder to be a cop when there is no working Rule of Law? File under questions that will not be touched on, ever. 1 Link to comment
McManda March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 But the HK dectective has a movie star husband, not 'just' a writer. Yeah, but based on the fact that the end-season arc is Beckett wanting to figure out "what's next" for her and wondering how to balance a work life with a personal life - and given that Castle sucks at anything that isn't hitting the viewer over the head - my guess is that it looks like this woman has it all - she's a good, amazing, wonderful cop, with a handsome, accomplished, popular husband, but really her life is just a front and she's got trouble, most definitely personal and maybe even professionally, too. Compared to Beckett, who has a husband that loves her, works with her, and is willing to lay his life down for her (does Hong Kong's movie star husband do that?) and a job that she's more than good at (she's taken how many high-profile killers?), where she's respected and can manage a team (is Hong Kong cop more of a against-the-rules renegade?). Beckett's life is looking pretty good. I mean, that's most likely takeaway, right? That doesn't mean I won't like it, though. I like when Beckett has to go introspective. Link to comment
KaveDweller March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 I hope Amann is exaggerating when he talks about Beckett going into a bit of a tailspin. Seems rather naive and silly.

I'm sure she knows that, but isn't it normal to not like seeing someone better than you at something you're usually great at? It shouldn't totally wreck her or anything, but I don't think it's bad if it annoys her. But like McManda suggests, it is likely just a jumping board for this Beckett thinking about the future thing. As long as they don't get top angsty about it I think it could be interesting. 1 Link to comment

I'm assuming they go down that route too, she looks like she has it all until they find she's a crooked cop or barren (her husband will turn out to be a complete douchebag of course) and I will duly eye roll because Beckett can breathe a huge sigh of relief. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised and they allow her to be amazing alongside Beckett, going down the Colin Hunt route (although done before) would work better but we can't have two confident, smart, shrewd, successful female detectives both co-existing in the same place without one being a fuck up for the anvil to really land. This story requires a certain lightness of touch which most of the writers glaringly lack, when the writing is good it can be amusing watching Beckett unsure of herself but other times it's plain annoying watching Insecure!Beckett spiral into having doubts that I don't believe she'd dwell on to any major degree. I hope Chad can deftly avoid the obvious clichéd pitfalls that come when you introduce another alpha woman (temporarily) to shake things up. I've been looking forward to some genuine focus on Beckett all season so I'd like them to concentrate more on Kate dealing with questions on her own future and less about the situation with the other cop. Especially if they choose to have a finale concentrating on Kate's career or family plans. Edited March 4, 2015 by verdana Link to comment

madmaverick March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 But the HK dectective has a movie star husband, not 'just' a writer. As long as the movie star isn't Jackie Chan (ugh, hate the guy). Would the totalitarian government of HK care ? Is it easier or harder to be a cop when there is no working Rule of Law?File under questions that will not be touched on, ever. I have to dispute this. The government of China is a totalitarian government under the Communist Party, but HK is still a free society with civil liberties guaranteed by law, and a hybrid political system that contains some directly elected legislators (if not a directly elected leader, which is what the fight there for democracy is mostly about) as well as an independent judiciary that works hard to uphold the rule of law. The police force there isn't without its problems but is no different than what you would expect from the police in the US or UK, and they are definitely subject to the law. But agreed that these are questions that will not be touched on in Castle ever. And thank heavens for that! ;) Reading the various tweets on the ALTravelProject twitter makes me realise how very lucky I am to be living in a place where you don't have to worry about how you choose to travel around as a woman.

I honestly didn't think taking public transportation in LA was that bad. My experience was that if you exercised the usual vigilance, you'd be OK. There were some dodgy and rundown areas in central LA but which city doesn't have those? The subway was very under utilized compared to subway systems just about anywhere, and I think the fact that there were so few people using it contributed to a sense of it being unsafe, perhaps. It can be a bit creepy when you're alone in a subway car or a station or walking huge sprawling blocks on your own. Sometimes the fear is in your mind. There were some homeless people around, but that's not unique to LA either, and I didn't feel unsafe. There were plenty of people on buses and trams and trains so there really wasn't a safety issue there. Only experienced one disturbance on a bus and the bus driver very promptly stopped the bus and had the disruptive passenger escorted off. Otherwise I found the drivers and the passengers to be polite and friendly. But like I said, my observation was that there was a socio-economic component to taking public transportation in LA. Along with any safety concerns, if there's a stigma attached to using it, organisations such as ATP should be asking why? I like to take public transportation wherever I travel to get a more local flavour of places I visit. My scariest experience was not somewhere like India, which was mostly fine even if harassment and staring was common, but in Johannesburg, where I witnessed a girl getting mugged by a guy on the sidewalk as my bus was passing through. The girl screamed, the bus driver stopped the bus and came to her aid, and she wasn't hurt, which was a relief to everyone. But the brazenness of an attack in full daylight when you have cars and buses passing by! That was scary. I read some stories of women living in ISIS territory the other day, and apparently, women cannot be left alone with the (male) bus driver and so they have to get off even if it's before their stop if there are no more male passengers left! Just one more travesty to add to the list. So yeah, those of us lucky to live in a safe place and to have access to safe public transportation should never take it for granted. Apologies for going off on a tangent far from Castle! Link to comment
pepper March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 I can't help thinking that some of the subway reluctance in LA has to do with the very real risk of earthquakes and people flat out not trusting the engineering. Then there's the fact that car culture is probably more deeply embedded there than in most cities, so you're probably on public transportation because you have no choice - an issue that was touched on way back when the first Speed movie was written and the "ordinary" middle class character was only on the bus because her driver's license had been suspended. And yeah, madmaverick, Hong Kong is an interesting hybrid in that it's free as long as it doesn't rock the boat. On the surface, Hong Kong Island doesn't seem much different from Manhattan, and yet... Link to comment
madmaverick March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 I can't help thinking that some of the subway reluctance in LA has to do with the very real risk of earthquakes and people flat out not trusting the engineering. Could be. But millions of Japanese pack their subways (not to mention high speed rail) every day so the engineering is definitely there to handle earthquakes as safely as possible. I imagine the LA metro authority must be making a loss though considering how under utilized it is! Yet if they don't invest and expand to the sprawling suburbs of LA they probably won't increase their passenger load. I think car culture is very embedded in LA (and the US generally), both for socio-economic and geographical reasons. Also, cheap gas (at least compared to many places in the world)! The city is sprawling so unless you have an extensive and efficient public transit network, it can be very difficult to be without a car, even if being in a car means being stuck on the freeway for hours. And yeah, madmaverick, Hong Kong is an interesting hybrid in that it's free as long as it doesn't rock the boat. On the surface, Hong Kong Island doesn't seem much different from Manhattan, and yet... Authoritarian and totalitarian governments around the world specialise in "you're free until you are perceived as threatening us and our eternal grip on power". ;) They also tend to be paranoid and perceive every little thing as a threat. The more you try to cage a bird, the more it rebels and yearns to be free. If wiser heads prevailed in government and truly cared about winning over hearts and minds, especially of the youth, they would know that. To turn to a lighter topic, this twitter exchange amused me: Nathan Fillion @NathanFillion · “@yanissaTWD: @NathanFillion how often do you reshoot bc someone yells ‘castle’ on the street?” He yelled “asshole”. At @Jon_Huertas. Jon Huertas @Jon_Huertas · “@yanissaTWD: Nathan how often do u have 2 reshoot a scene bcuz some1 yells 'castle' on the street?” He yelled "Apple" @NathanFillion s ass Um yeah, kinda true. :P So weird that Marlowe & Co. chose the name 'Castle' because it supposedly sounded like 'asshole'. That is if they weren't joking about it. If I created a TV show, I would never name it something like 'Castle' or 'House' in a million years, but hey, those shows lasted. Link to comment

I found most of their responses ridiculous PR speak or not. Their dismissal of the whole Rogan business was jaw dropping, all I can think is they must be embarrassed at this stage that their laxness has been brought up for scrutiny. As for them blaming new directors as a reason why we get so much inconsistency in characterisation especially with Castle (not sure if they were responding about his character specifically or making a general comment) that's pathetic. It also doesn't make much sense since there are still quite a few old hands around and isn't Marlowe meant to still be in charge? I would have thought it's his job to ensure the newbies know what they're doing and produce what he wants. Apparently we're going to see more Alexis and Kate next season if they get one, interesting given that they've pensioned off Martha as good as, I'll believe it when I see it, often their "focus" is something and nothing. I couldn't get over their comment on New Yorkers "they feel they have the characters in line the way real New Yorkers can be at times. They can be rough around the edges and could less about someone's feelings." That's charming! Giving a blanket assessment of people, I won't go to New York then any time soon. And this caught my eye at the end: I can tell you that if you're interested in the Derrick Storm series; a pilot script is done. Edited March 5, 2015 by verdana Link to comment
verdana March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 (edited) Crime drama Castle's director David Amann thinks India relates to emotional aspect of the show at dnaindia. "It is a family show, there is a multi-generational story of Castle and his mother and his wife. Culturally, it is something that is relatable in India and other places. The family unit is part of its appeal and also it has got an emotional heart. Other mystery shows tend to be a little too procedural, gory or cold," Amann said from Los Angeles. I wonder if the folks in India have got around to watching The Wrong Stuff yet with Martha leaving. Whilst I would agree the family moments helped give Castle additional appeal that's not been the case for quite a while now, it's a case of the writers scrabbling around not knowing what to do with them which is a crying shame given the many opportunities they've had to expand on the various family connections between everyone once Kate got involved. I also love the way Amann describes the baby talk as an "ongoing conversation", like the wedding talk all last season perhaps? And we know what happened there. Eventually all the shallow talk has to go somewhere otherwise fans get fed up with it so they need to be careful how much they dish out if they have zero intention of going anywhere with it for ages.

Reading about yet another ISIS atrocity in the paper today made me wonder about the women in that area, it makes my blood run cold thinking how much worse it must be for women who were probably already suffering and oppressed and now they're living under this terrible regime. As for Hong Kong, I've visited many times both before and after the handover and whilst it's very different to China in terms of the "freedom" that it allows the population when I go back now those freedoms feel like a cosmetic veneer that holds as long as the people stay compliant which of course they are not so keen to do given they consider themselves Hong Kong first not Chinese and therefore different to the mainland.

madmaverick March 5, 2015 Share March 5, 2015 Stana's thank you notes were lovely and gracious as expected. I had my misgivings about the whole buying back the shirt campaign when Stana was auctioning it off in the first place (still think the money going to admin fees from the fund is a waste) but what matters it that Stana is fine with it. I admit I have a soft spot for the story of the shirt and the concert tickets too. Her cursive handwriting reminds me of school! Couldn't have known she was so fond of cursive from her autograph. I suppose none of the writing by Beckett and Castle on the show are done by the actors themselves. For some reason, I think Castle (and/or Nathan?) always writes in capital letters which I find a bit odd. As for them blaming new directors as a reason why we get so much inconsistency in characterisation especially with Castle (not sure if they were responding about his character specifically or making a general comment) that's pathetic. It also doesn't make much sense since there are still quite a few old hands around and isn't Marlowe meant to still be in charge? I would have thought it's his job to ensure the newbies know what they're doing and produce what he wants. My thoughts exactly. The directors, really?! I think the new ones we've gotten have been as capable as the ones who have departed. I haven't discerned a big difference. The biggest difference to me this season is that the writers have written more domestic Caskett scenes, and better ones at that, and the chemistry has been more consistent as well. If there's any inconsistency in characterisation with Castle, I would blame the writers first starting with not knowing where they are going with the stupid mythology, and having amnesia about it all season. I guess we'll see soon enough whether they actually had anything planned with the mythology since last season's finale. ;) Moving on, we expect that someone will appear on the horizon and be a significant nemesis to Castle and Beckett As long as it's not Tyson's twin or Bracken II... Still can't fathom who would have it in for Castle (and/or Beckett) so much to the extent of engineering a kidnapping, disappearance/reappearance and amnesia. I just want to see Castle and Beckett as a team, always. Yes, it's funny how they talk up the multigenerational angle to the show as part of its appeal, which I would agree with, except they've shown precious little inclination to explore much of that of late. Integrating new members into a family always comes with a learning curve but we've seen no exploration of new family dynamics at all with Beckett now part of the family. And I don't see that changing. Of course they will keep dangling the baby card because it's the only card they have left in terms of Caskett milestones. ;) I'd rather they stop touching upon it until they intend to address it seriously. Many married couples aren't in a rush to have a baby. Link to comment

Stana Katic's "Super-Coat" on Castle "The biggest joy for me is to take an actor to the mall," says Perez. "I met Stana Katic at the Saks in Beverly Hills, where there’s like five floors of clothes. We went through every floor trying on things and then, at the same time, came across this green leather, double-breasted, wide-lapeled DVF trench coat. I put it on her, and we were both like, ‘Super-coat!’ It was perfect because she's playing a detective in New York, and it just gave us a starting point for her character. The person that wears this coat: What blazer does she wear? Does she wear it casual? Does she wear it with slacks? It's such a defining point in the show." Edited March 6, 2015 by S55 Link to comment
verdana March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 (edited) According to Amanda J, TPW is writing the 150th episode so guess that means TEM and AWM have the finale. Ugh. Trying to make amends for 6.23? Then again may be they think it's their crowning glory but alas it looks very much like the finale will be a MilMar production. Damn. Although one plus point it couldn't possibly be any worse than that wedding/car crash fiasco, they can only improve. S55.Thanks for the article on Perez, I miss him too.

I thought the same thing after Watershed & we know how that worked out. 1 Link to comment

Find out when #Castle returns on March 16! https://twitter.com/Castle_ABC/status/574005658607054848 Random Ship has some more lovely drawings on her site. This one "Sunrise" is adorable with them both in pjs and she's reaching up on her toes to kiss him, although I hope they aren't the same ones Martha's lover borrowed from Castle the other week. *shudder* And "pancakes" which brings back great memories of a truly enjoyable two parter. Love that moment. Edited March 8, 2015 by verdana Link to comment

S55 March 9, 2015 Share March 9, 2015 I like Ryan, but that sounds kind of boring. Sadly I thought the same thing. But I guess since Espo got his episode earlier this year, it's Ryan's turn. I'm hoping having Reiko in it makes it more enjoyable for me, lol. Maybe she's the killer? ;) Link to comment

I remember in S5 they gave Caskett a storyline while Ryan was undercover with the Irish mob, and it made the episode much better than when they just had nothing to do. Link to comment

Is one of the Creasey's doing that Ryan ep? At least they do 2 subplots for other characters in their eps this season. Oh nvm, I see Jim Adler is doing that ep so maybe there might be a subplot going on. His subplot track record are scrabble, web promo for book & I can't remember what was the last ep he did.

verdana March 10, 2015 Share March 10, 2015 (edited) He's only done two episodes before this one - "Law and Boarder" and "Meme is Murder". I disliked both of them, the latter was one of the worst episodes of the season. I can't decide which was more excruciating, watching Castle sulking whilst playing scrabble instead of wanting to have sex or that awful web promo. When these episodes come around each season focusing on one of the boys I know I much prefer to watch Ryan, pity that it doesn't look like from the casting that we're going to see Jenny or the baby. I would have liked to have seen them at home for a brief moment. Castle - Episode 7.18 - At Close Range - Promotional Photos at Spoiler TV. They're all Ryan focused, although I'm kind of surprised they didn't include one shot of Castle and Beckett in there somewhere after all that's what keeps the show going. Here are some enlarged episode stills of 7.18 which might be easier to view. Edited March 10, 2015 by verdana 1 Link to comment
pepper March 10, 2015 Share March 10, 2015 I was watching something on demand yesterday because I was home sick and saw a promo for Castle. It was 90% Castle stumbling around being goofy and relied heavily on the book promo incident for footage. I guess that means that the Canadian network believes that Goofy!Castle resonates with viewers and will inspire them to tune in. If the same holds true south of the border, maybe that's why they're calling on Creasey's mad skills in writing goofball scenes for the character. Link to comment
madmaverick March 10, 2015 Share March 10, 2015 CASTLE: At Close Range, ABC press release for 7.18 Meh. Why can't it be Castle and Beckett attending a black tie charity event before the body drops and they have to navigate the world of high society as a married couple to solve the crime? I would rather watch that episode. And didn't someone point out that it's actually illegal for NYPD to moonlight at other jobs? I would be more interested in Martha or Alexis, or even Lanie or Gates getting an episode than the boys getting another turn because they do get more screentime as it is (not that it's really character work but it's more than what the others get). 1 Link to comment
