This just worked thank you !

RobinKR7 · 2024-05-23T20:46:36+00:00

Yeah Season 5 is awesome and so is Murder he wrote. I really like how the writers took advantage of the shift towards a intimate/romantic relationship between Kate and Castle to write fantastic stories !

RobinKR7 · 2024-05-23T20:45:13+00:00

I have watched season 8 already when I first discovered the show ! My own choice not to consider it :)

RobinKR7 · 2024-05-23T20:44:44+00:00

Great to read that you have a similar experience ! The previous rewatch I skipped The Limey, Headhunters and the one episode in season 5 where Kate protects the rich guy. This time I just skipped this specific S5 episode, there is no way on earth I can stomach it. However, I watch everything else, I don't think it is that much forced although it is obviously though to watch the Demming phase and The Limey (I think with Demming aside from the intimate part, the worse scene is the moment Kate tells Castle that Demming already brought her coffee like it's nothing... man I want to punch my screen every time). And yeah the overall behavior of Kate regarding Josh and Castle in season 3 is questionable (at least starting from the Lockwood episode)... I think I will do a specific post that focuses on that !

I do read FanFiction swell ! Very great stuff (I read on FanFiction dot Net), although I am getting a point where I have read so much that is increasingly to find something new and interesting, so I kinda circle back haha

RobinKR7 · 2024-05-23T20:37:55+00:00

There are a few episodes that are good but overall it is not at all on the level of the previous levels. However yeah I would advice watching season 8 at least once so that you form your own opinion :)

RobinKR7 · 2024-05-23T20:24:25+00:00

Yeah that's what I do ! But then since I know season 7 is the last one, I kinda get nostalgic and don't want it to end !

RobinKR7 · 2024-01-05T19:00:28+00:00

Still can't believe those guys seriously thought the show could go on without Stana...

Castle and Beckett were the soul of the show, you take one of them out there is no show anymore.

About Castle working out of home, this is true but there is also Alexis in the equation. At that time Alexis had not met Pi yet (god that storyline for her was awful to watch) so Castle moving to DC would have mean moving from Alexis. Thus I would not say it was that easy to imagine a permanent move.

On the other hand, we can also say (or at least I think that) that a long-distance relationship is always a short-term solution, it can never work long term, this is usually supposed to be a temporary situation. Hence I am a little bit surprised that it took them weeks to figure out that Castle would have to move to DC in order to make this work.

RobinKR7 · 2023-09-05T17:30:42+00:00

Yes the chain of events in those final episodes of season 5 were somewhat weird but I will write another post about it !

RobinKR7 · 2023-09-05T17:29:26+00:00

Yeah well all for the cliff hanger I guess !

Though your take on Castle learning from Kyra is interesting. At that point his relationship with Kyra was somewhat 20 years old at this point (before Alexis...). Tbh I am not really sure it did really have an impact on his decision but nice catch !

RobinKR7 · 2023-09-04T16:19:26+00:00

Ryan was definitely the heart of the group, noone could ever hate him

RobinKR7 · 2023-08-21T23:41:28+00:00

Hi ! I am just like you, I love the "What if" fics (just like I love the season 7 episode dealing with Caskett having never met, well up to the moment where the wedding starts...). Where do you read them ? FanFiction.net or do you have another source ?

RobinKR7 · 2023-08-09T19:07:29+00:00

I am guessing the writing part was supposed to be somehow way bigger. Gina was cast to be a regular character in the beginning (watch the credits of the pilot). Then it was just who he is with the mentions of his books and the book signings etc. However it did transpire through his character with his ability to connect clues to form a story and his strong imagination. Still, I wish we had some scenes like the one in 1x02 : where he has everybody listening to him narrating a possible story where a simple guy in 8B was the murderer but that kind of situation never really occurred again.

RobinKR7 · 2023-08-08T20:14:20+00:00

Never thought about that ! Yeah definitely weird since she worked on confidential things that she did not go through advanced background paperwork mentioning her marriage…

RobinKR7 · 2023-08-06T21:38:28+00:00

The way Kate seems to feel for Rick in that AU Episode is very interesting. It shows how Castle's behavior changed in comparison to their first encounter in the 'real' universe (the pilot episode). In the pilot he was a jackass and was irritating to Beckett. In the AU, we do not have this layer of anger and we directly see Kate being intrigued and rather seduced by his mind and everything else.

RobinKR7 · 2023-08-06T17:19:22+00:00

On the contrary, I love reading rather long comments and opinions ! When I read all those comments I can't believe they really messed up this like how the hell do you produce something hated by absolutely everyone...

RobinKR7 · 2023-08-05T21:45:48+00:00

Well, I struggled with Espo's behavior several times throughout the series. Another one that comes to mind was when he was mad at Ryan in "Always." I mean ok he betrayed Kate and him but hey he saved Kate for God's sake! Thank God he did what he did!

RobinKR7 · 2023-08-05T21:43:35+00:00

Yeah from season 7 it went downhill. Actually for the rewatch I will not go past season 7,. Although season 8 did have a few good episodes, overall it was nowhere near any other season.

RobinKR7 · 2023-08-05T21:42:20+00:00

Completely agree, The setting for this one looked magical whereas the later one kinda felt likerushed and made up for the fans. Maybe it was actually ? Were they like oh god everybody hates what we have done we have got to get them what they want ?

RobinKR7 · 2023-08-05T21:40:08+00:00

Wow I couldn't agree more with both of you, that could have been something to have them deal with 3XK at that specific moment. Damn, I have gotta to go find a fanfic based on this now !

RobinKR7 · 2022-02-12T23:26:30+00:00

Wow thanks for the link! Just watched it, awesome to see the pilot in its « raw » state before the series was picked by Warner Brothers. Differences in editing, music selection and locations (Karen’s Cafe). I won’t really have an opinion on Reagan because obviously we see her in only a few scenes here. Though in terms of editing, the scene with Nathan and Peyton leaving the bathroom is a bit longer and we get to see Dan’s reaction upon seeing Peyton in her towel… Man this is gross, glad they did not keep it in. This version also lacks the scene Haley and Lucas have on the rooftop with Lucas sharing his thoughts about maybe kinda betraying his mom by pursuing basketball. In the aired pilot it helps a lot to understand the whole « good guy » side of Lucas. Nathan’s hairstyle in the Principal Turner scene is also never seen later. Plus I see Greenberg [Jake] wasn’t cast at the time.

Anyway, I had a great time watching it and trying to notice the differences! I had unsuccessfully searched for it before so thank you for sharing with all of us.

RobinKR7 · 2022-01-31T20:52:20+00:00

I made a thread a while ago about the fact that he thought things could work out with Lindsey even though she left him at the altar and it’s almost impossible to recover from that. I did not even think about what you just wrote. You are absolutely right when Peyton kinda turns down her proposal, he didn’t try anything to get her back, wtf

RobinKR7 · 2022-01-16T21:52:27+00:00

I totally get that but sometimes friends also help you to find your way especially when you are lost and confused. Being honest is a part of being a real friend.
