Maybe the writer of this ep is a DW fan.<br />Than this Billy asks Beckett "Michelle Who-ey?", and I really start thinking he is.<br />And the Beckett/Meredith bonding scene reminded me of "School Reunion", but it's probably because by this point I was just trying to see more references, and found some that weren't there.<br />What do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52527053680009733152013-01-10T11:26:18.887-05:002013-01-10T11:26:18.887-05:00Great episode with the new girlfiend meeting the e...Great episode with the new girlfiend meeting the ex as a theme..Oh gosh that was Jack Wagner from Melrose Place..I feel old now. <br />Esposito and Ryan were as ever a wonderful team.

I believe it would be the women in both cases, and this episode gave a reason why Meredith would chose to walk away.<br /><br />I believe that Castle is enough of a romantic and wanting to be a better father/husband than his (missing) dad, that he would have tried to make the marriage work despite how bad it got. That sort of quality explains how Castle was able to wait four years to get the prize he wanted: Beckett.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-76291519396119028532013-01-09T14:00:44.244-05:002013-01-09T14:00:44.244-05:00LOTS of laughs!

Sure, it's obvious that Castle has walls just like Beckett, granted his past is not as dark as Beckett's is. But you have a man who grew up with no father, moving around as his mother tried to support both of them, had instant celebrity thrust on him once his writing took off, became a young father, his first love leaves him, he has two failed marriages where in both cases the women ended them, etc -- there's no way he doesn't have his own walls with his humor being his main defensive mechanism.<br /><br />I viewed the ending as Beckett realizing finally that Castle may be as damaged and broken as herself and like you said it's probably time for her to start peeling away the layers of the Castle onion and this is a good thing.Matthew Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-6413360604137508412013-01-08T19:33:04.558-05:002013-01-08T19:33:04.558-05:00Caught the ring bit as well.

Our buddies are back and better than ever!<br /><br />I have so many questions about Castle's past; I'm hoping they will be answered now that Beckett realizes she has those questions too.<br /><br />Was it just me or did the camera work seem different this episode? Especially when we were outside, everything was jumpier and more handheldy. It's a word. It almost could have been Law and Order, except for it being very obviously LA and not NYC.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.com
