Thanks!

I tell you what I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to the moment someone tries to nickname Beckett "Nikki Heat."

That is SO BAD! XD You just know he came up with that to annoy her.

I know! It really does sound like a stripper's name!!

Btw, Beckett's right hand men are Javier Esposito && Kevin Ryan.
Roy Montgomery is the boss.
Martha Rodgers is the name of the mother.
&& the forensic scientist is Lanie Parish.
(I just had to look them up - it was bugging me!!)

The show started as one trick but it's slowly simmering and layers are appearing. The reveal this week about her family didn't stun me but it made her more sympathetic and human.

What can I say about Rick Castle? A man that likes to play with his toys but does care a lot about his daughter and is much more than an observer of police business. He's smart and I think really likes police work, he certainly knows a lot about it.

Nathan Fillion was made for this role and it's becuase of him that I started to watch Castle but now I'm getting caught up in the story and I'm going to stay a loyal watcher.

Hey, I even switched back and forth to Castle when it was apparent that my beloved UNC Tarheels were leading by 20 at the half in the NCAA finals last night.

I really love the relationship that Castle has with his daughter.
I'd say it reminded me of the bond between River & Simon, except that both of these characters are capable of coherent conversation.

I am loving CASTLE. It's so good to see Nathan Fillion back on TV again.
But there was something that seemed "off" about the show since the beginning. And I just recently figured out what it is.
I'm so used to seeing Nathan in something smart, layered, perhaps a little indie. It feels strange to watch him on such a mainstream & formulaic show. It's not a bad show, just not what I would normally watch.
But since Nathan's in it, I can't NOT watch.

Well, there is that...

And Nathan does have moments of pure gold.

This week's episode, when Beckett shows up at his door, and Castle does the whole, "Where are my manners?" thing, the puts the gun in his mouth, just cracked me up. I had to rewind and watch it again, just to see him being so goofy!

It's definitely growing on me. From something I'll watch, to something I actually look forward to.

Shooting stars around your heart,
Dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time.
Now you're crying in your sleep;
I wish you'd never learnt to weep.
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time.

There is another thing I like about the show that I recently pointed out to a co-worker. None of the police officers look down on Castle. Sure Beckett gets a bit aggravated with him but there is none of the typical "leave the detective work to the professionals" bullshit. Everyone actually respects his opinions.

There were a couple of moments that were just great this week. The whole laser tag incident followed by Beckett's batcave analogy was perfect. The second moment looked to be all serious until Castle diffused it. When she asks if he will use the new found information about her life as backstory for Nikki Heat... "still leaning towards hooker by day, cop by night". Does it get any better than that?
