The "uagh" face after the deep-fried twinkie quote is the funniest part. And when Castle leans in and says "what I really, really want you to do" in a soft (lusty) voice, then delivers the punchline, it gives Beckett's reaction (a smile) more subtext. (And fuels the Caskett fans.)<br /><br />I remember, first watching the show, that I thought Stana Katic was a stiff actor (outclassed by Fillion) who was getting better with more experience, by this part of the season. But when I rewatched the episodes, I realized that her acting was consistent and good. Beckett's interplay with the captain, Ryan, Esposito, and Lanie are intact from that first episode. What changed was that her character was warming up to Castle. What I mistook for poor acting was, in fact, the mask that this control-freak character presented to the stranger in her life. I'm enjoying re-watching the shows to see when Beckett lets things slip by her mask (like the smiles and frowns), and especially when the character is caught off-guard and the mask drops entirely. (Stana does an amazing little-girl-lost expression.)Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-32619488210583819702012-06-18T13:16:16.842-04:002012-06-18T13:16:16.842-04:00Yeah, a new Castle review. :)
One of my favorite ...Yeah, a new Castle review. :)<br /><br />One of my favorite episodes. Why? One word...Kitten...:D<br /><br />I agree with you about the parallels between Meredith and Martha.<br /><br />I love the whole conversation in the precinct when Meredith drops by to leave Alexis with Castle. The whole kitten nickname coming up and I especially love at the end the terrifed expressions on both Castle and Alexis when Meredith states "And think about how much fun it'll be when I move here" (something along those lines). Alexis' expression is hilarious.<br /><br />And lastly, that's an interesting ringtone Castle has picked out for his daughter. I can see Castle having the whole Stewie "mom, mom, mom" speech from Family Guy as the ringtone for Martha. :)Matthew Lnoreply@blogger.com
