"For Better or For Worse" 06.23 - Castle

Wow. It has taken me a few days to wrap my head and heart around the reality of what happened Monday night.

As far as finale purposes, "For Better or For Worse" achieved exactly what it's intended purpose was. It was entertaining, emotional, and divisive, and it most certainly has whetted my appetite for Season 7. 

HOWEVER
This is the significantly abbreviated version  of this

I have taken issue with the premises of this episode, especially coupled with the comments made by show runner, Andrew Marlowe. The "Kate being married" story line, went against the character's own well established back story. Now I am not saying that Kate being married before makes her "damaged goods", but it does break down the "one and done" philosophy that Kate has been seemingly espoused to. I know that their is a huge difference between a wedding and a marriage, but this deviation in character was a disheartening wrench that was thrown in just to create controversy. In addition to this, it made Kate seem dumb. Kate has been proven time and time again as the furthest thing from dumb. The fact that the daughter of brilliant lawyers, and an impressive mind in her own right never thought to question if in fact the wedding was legally binding is not canon I can wrap my head around. If even a doofus like O'Leary knew he's had a coma wife this entire time, Kate would have had to question it at some point. Which brings me to another lovely facet of this plothole. Kate works for the NYPD and previously for the AG's office, if a simple check at the county clerk can bring up Rogan, how is it that a husband who has impersonated a Federal Officer has never made a system hit? She's been in danger enough times to make contacting her next of kin commonplace. Marlowe has been quoted saying he did it to "level the moral playing field", not sure that intentionally trying to cause damage to a beautifully flawed character was the best idea. Kate has concealed the truth, gone on personal vendettas, outright lied, lost herself in a bottle, used her past as a weapon against her future, denied, fought, and came back from PTSD, and Marlowe still needs to bring her down a notch? To add to this list, if Kate and Rick were a couple that "kept score" then they have no reason to be getting married in the first place.  


But onto the rest of the episode, Rogan was the affable roguish character that I love to hate! I loved the addition of him to her backstory minus the wedding. We've been offered the little glimpses into the world of "RebelBex" but this episode really explored just how rebellious Kate was, and how much losing her mom affected her into becoming the person that she is. The mob tie in was also a predictable, but laughable addition to the chaos that ensued from Kate and Rick just trying to have a quiet and calm wedding. 



As much as the last scene felt like a physical punch in the gut, it plays into the cliffhangers we have always gotten out of Marlowe for season enders. I've seen several theories about what exactly happened to Castle, because we know he's not dead. These have ranged from mob hit, to his dad being involved, to 3xk and I for one am really excited to see who has had it right all along!

As much as I didn't like this episode there were some definite highlights. 

The scoring, as always Robert Duncan did an amazing job of drawing us into the story. His accompaniment works with the scene exactly as intended, with the ability to make you feel what is happening on such a deeper level. 

Alexis and Martha were such lifesavers and amazing characters! From Alexis to the rescue to Kate's moment with Martha, Susan and Molly definitely were my favorites this episode! The earrings; what a touching exchange with Kate, and I loved the visual throwback to having a mother in the mirror sharing in this with her. Martha has been Kate's stand in mother for long before she was a potential MiL. So glad to see it!

 And now we wait. Marlowe has said that there will be no time jump for 07.01, so we will pick back up from the crash scene this September! 

Our Giveaway winner has been announce and contacted! I cannot wait for Joyce to get her very own "Beckett" mug! Thank you to everyone who entered! Be on the look out this summer for more events!!

"Law and Boarder" 06.21 - Castle

Sorry for the late post, on a personal note, gravity and laptops do not mix well, gravity will inevitably win! With that being said, let's talk about "Law and Boarder"!

I'm going to take the opportunity to explain dispute some comments I've seen on various social media sites. As the season is winding down, (this thought physically pains me) we've gotten a couple of what are called "filler" episodes. Last week's throwback to the 70's and this week's adventures with sk8tr boys are text book examples. Full of cute moments, and classic dialogue, but no real character progression or story arc movement. That does not mean that they are fantastic episodes! They are usually episodes that can stand alone with no loose ends. And since we have enough loose ends, (Bracken, 3XK, and while we're at it Anderson Cross/Jackson Hunt) these episodes are a refreshing call back to the chemistry that can get lost in the story!

Our murder this week is focused on the world of extreme sports, with our victim fleeing on his skateboard from our masked motocross biker. I will go on the record to say that the next scene makes my extensive list of top moments this season. I've personally felt that the interaction between Alexis and Beckett could have been better used this season, so anytime we get any, I'm ecstatic. Just as the relationship between Castle/Alexis was something that endeared Kate to Rick, it goes a long way to make the audience at large accept Alexis as Kate's step-daughter and vice-versa. Something that was noted that stuck out to me was, Alexis saying, "Oh my gosh, did you really beat Dad at Scrabble?" instead of "my Dad" shows how much her attitude has changed since the beginning of the season. And that fist bump!! I also loved the reemergence of competitive Castle! Thanks to the new writer Jim Adler, this episode was full of things to mark off of the "Things We Want to See" checklist!

Side Note Castle could have used his letters to make: HOLY off the Y in MYRIAD (double word score would give him 20pts. besting Kate), TOIL off the T in TARN, VOID off the D in MYRIAD...... this list could go on forever.... I might be a nerd.

And away we go to a crime scene, after getting the specifics of the scene from Ryan and Espo, and putting in the orders for the case, the next scene is something I couldn't have conceived 2 seasons ago! We find out that Kate has asked Lanie to be her MoH and they proceed to fangirl about the gorgeous dress right then and there! Going to leave Season 1 Beckett at a crime scene and Season 6 Beckett at a crime scene right here.....

Which plays a hand in developing one of my favorite B storylines of Season 6; Ryan and Espo: And the Quest for Best Man. The onscreen and off-screen "Bromance" that Seamus and Jon have lent to their characters is literally my BrOTP. So I loved the competition for Castle's affection in this ep. And if it were going to be either of them, Ryan had it in the bag. We don't call him "Castle Jr." for nothing! But ultimately, (and I called it long ago) Castle has asked Alexis as his Best "Man" It was also nice for Castle to admit that Beckett now, rightfully supersedes his mother on the "People who mean the most to me" list. 

In pursuit of Logan's killer, Castle and Beckett are in for a ride of false leads that are full of dead ends. From ties to the Albanian Mob to professional grudges that run deep and a checkered past, the team is getting seemingly nowhere on the case.

Back in the loft for a scrabble rematch, if only Castle had taken Kate's suggestion for a change in activity! Kate trying to throw the game brings back the episode "Ghosts" from season 1 when they both threw poker hands to save a little face with each other! And while we're talking poker... All awards go to Stana Katic, Nathan Fillion, Jim Adler, Dara Creasey, and Terri Edda Miller, for the conception and execution of the final strip poker scene. If there has or ever will be a scene taken straight from fanfiction, THIS. WAS. IT. And I cannot say enough about Nathan in that red button down!

With a major plot twist, we find out that our victim Logan, might not have been the hoodlum that he was made out to be, but only avenging the death of his friend Jay Dickson. In fact every connection to the world of extreme sports and New York is all about finding Jay's murderer and getting justice for his friend. And even though our now double murderer has done everything in his power to conceal the truth, the team finally uncovers that Ross DeKoening is the guilty party. 

And with that we wait for the last two episodes of the season, which are most certainly going to leave me reblogging and blogging from the grave. 

Be sure to catch "Veritas" Monday, May 5th and see if you can spot my girl Ayanna Bershire as a journalist near the end of the episode!

Friendly Reminder: Don't forget to get in all your entries for our #Castle and FANdemonium Network exclusive giveaway! I'd love to be sending a mug and goodies to one of my readers! Giveaway is open to Canadian and U.S. residents and runs til May 13th, the drawing will be the day after the epic finale!
