icepixieI hope everyone affected by Sandy is safe, dry, and warm!
Speaking of Sandy, check out this satellite photo of her from this morning. Uh, there are some pretty great lakes under that cloud cover. There's a Nashville under that cloud cover. Note that we are 900 miles from New York City, and yet today's wind advisory, not to mention the non-advisory-level-but-still-noticeable winds that have been dogging us since Saturday and will continue until Friday? Sandy's fault.

Castle 5.04: "Probable Cause"
I did not expect the 3XK killer to come back. EXCELLENT! This was more engrossing than their usual fare, without being annoying and overly dramatic, like the Johanna Beckett episodes.
I also didn't expect Esposito and (presumably) Lainie to find out about Castle/Beckett this way. Props to you, Marlowe. For once you do something surprising. (But was that a photo of them being cute together in the serial killer lair that I saw near the end, and more importantly, that Gates saw? Hee, she's totally going to keep it secret, and if they ever ask her what she saw, play dumb in a way that lets them know she knows exactly what's going on and is allowing them to go on doing it when she could just as easily bring down the hammer, so they'd better be grateful.)
And I see Castle subscribes to the "it's not over until you see the body, and even then, it could turn out to be a zombie" school of dead villains. Excellent choice, Castle. I'm sure this guy will return sometime next year.
The only thing I didn't care for was 3XK's speech. I can sort of buy it as the guy's a self-aggrandizing nutjob, but still, it was a bit much.
Also, it strikes me that 3XK got really lucky with Castle saying he wanted to spend the night of the murder writing. He had to have the murder victim in the apartment, the roommate out of town, Martha out of town, Alexis at school for the weekend, the Castle double having bought the earrings within a reasonable timeframe, and Castle juuuust happened to want to be apart from Beckett that night. I suppose if it hadn't gone that way, he probably would've engineered some incident that kept Beckett away from the apartment and out of contact, but still, what a stroke of luck.
