Castle, etc.

Well, that was less than thrilling, although the steampunk party was worth the price of admission. (Seriously, NO TEENAGER IS GOING TO TALK LIKE THAT TO HER FATHER. OY.) I did enjoy the Ryan and Esposito stuff. I think if I were tuning in for the first time, I would have automatically assumed they were a couple from their interactions this week. Ryan seemed to know an awful lot about Esposito's whereabouts and health.

I also watched the last episodes of Fringe S1 yesterday, and...wow. That final shot. Man. I was pleased to see that the theory I was most sure about, our Peter having come from an alternate universe, was true. Also, Leonard Nimoy will never not be Spock. Ever. (All through the last two episodes, I could just hear J.J. Abrams going, "HEY GUYS, MY VERSION OF STAR TREK IS COMING OUT THIS MONTH! YOU SHOULD GO WATCH IT!")

Heh. Yeah, the bromance is strong in those two.

Anyway, the episode was indeed a bit sub-par, but I'm wondering about Beckett's new boyfriend now and how this relationship will influence her interactions with Castle. I found it quite telling that she never mentioned the guy and just started dating behind everyone's back, so to speak. I think the fallout of the season 2 finale has burned her quite badly...

I have to admit, the new boyfriend is so obviously a stalling tactic on the part of the writers that I'm finding it difficult to dredge up any sort of care about him. Maybe it's saying something about Beckett; whatever it is, for me it's been completely drowned out by the blaring sirens of "WE'RE STALLING TO KEEP THE UST UNRESOLVED!" So I am choosing to completely ignore him and focus on the humor in the show.

Wow, sorry, didn't mean to get my bitterness all over you...

Nah, don't worry. When I am dissatisfied with a book or show, I usually don't hold back, either. ;) And I actually share your opinion that the new BF is a stalling tactic, but I remain cautiously optimistic that he will also serve a purpose for exploring Beckett's character a little more.

We can hope! :)
