View Full Version : Castle (with Nathan Fillion)
Anyone else see this?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219024/
A new cop/detective show with Nathan Fillion playing a writer 'helping' the NYPD. Pretty similar in a way to the Mentalist in that is doesn't take itself too seriously and I thought shows promise to be quite an entertaining show.
don't think I've ever seen a show so formulaic
but lite crap like this (House/CSI/etc) is popular so can see this being a hit
I give it four episodes.
Well, it is Nathan Fillion and he is cursed. I'm giving the first ep a watch just because it's Fillion, but it doesn't sound good.
Yeah, fair enough, the first episode was rather formulaic but 'they' say the second episode is much better so keeping my fingers crossed :)
Thought it was great myself.
Yes, it's a little generic, but Fillion's charm elevates it a long way, & he has good chemistry with the other leads.
:thumbs:
I'll give this a watch cause Fillion is in it, but do agree with Fillion being cursed and most of his shows do get cancelled pretty quickly. What happened to the car racing one he did last year?
Drive was cancelled after about 6 episodes I think.
and after reading up about it only 4 episodes were actually aired! The other two produced were download only!

Really liked this. So I give it three weeks.

Yup the Fillion curse. Remember that show he was in with the cars, racing to the finish line? I actually liked it but it got canned, thanks to the Fillion curse imo.
This show has promise, I like the witty humor, it's formulaic but most US viewers need that repitition to get them hooked. Look at the most popular shows in the US, those crappy crime shows etc.
Fillion is very good so I hope for his sake it does well.
Drive was pretty good.
Anyway, watched this with the other half. Not knocked off our feet, but adds a lot of humor and general entertainment to a genre which generally lacks it!
I thought this was extremely boring. Fillion is always fun to watch & has some charisma but everything else was dull. No chemistry with the lead actress, a very poor, generic murder storyline, & a total lack of humour apart from a couple of mild grins at the antics of Castle's horny mother.
It makes barely watchable shows like The Mentalist, look like something HBO produces.
Thankfully, the other new show out next week, "Kings", looks much more interesting from the previews.

When I watched it, I kept looking at the actress playing his daughter and thought I had seen her before...then I realised she looked like a very young, red headed Kristin Bell.
I know she isn't related but she really does look like her!
First episode got 11.6m viewers in the US.
Not bad, but a big drop-off from its lead-in, Dancing with the Stars (which got 22.5m)
Probably didn't help that it was up against CSI Miami (14.1m).

Loved it. Two very likeable leads with good chemistry (Fillion is always good value), some decent one-liners and an interesting, less wrinkly take on "Murder, She Wrote".
Only 10 eps in the series, wonder if it'll get a second series?
No chemistry with the lead actress
Two very likeable leads with good chemistry
:lol:
Put me in the undecided camp. I didn't think the chemistry was great, but I could definitely see potential there.
One aired episode and the season 1 dvd is already announced for Sept 22nd!

I like the mentalist. Compared to what else is on television (CSI, Law and ORDER SVU), it is quite interesting and a bit funny.
Really enjoyable 2nd episode. Doubt I'd enjoy it half as much if it wasn't for the Fillion though. I'm assuming there was a drop off in viewing figures for the 2nd ep, but does anyone know if it a lot?

Enjoyable fluff made way more entertaining by Fillion. He stradles that fine line between cool/buffoon perfectly! :notworthy
Fillion & the female lead were still great, but the plot of episode 2? Jeez, how many times has that one been used?
Still, nice to see Hannah from Everwood again! :)
I'm really enjoying this, especially the banter between the two leads :thumbs:
Second episode got 11.5m viewers in the US. Not a bad drop from the 1st episode. :thumbs:

That's great news! I was expecting a milllion or 2. 100k isn't bad at all! Here's hoping it sticks around.
An ever so slightly better episode than the first. Plot of the week is still cliched rubbish but at least there was a glimmer of chemistry between the leads.
Yep. liking this a lot now. Episode 3, while not remarkable television, was pure, enjoyable, fluff.
Consider me sold for the rest of the season.
Another not-particularly-original plotline, but it was nice to hear Fillion actually say out loud "I hate that kid", which never happens in these types of shows when they do the evil rich kid plotline
Viewing figures are holding kinda steady. They've dropped a bit to 11m. Still not a massive dip, & it's still in the top 20. :thumbs:
Yeah, plotline again was dull,boring & cliched. Despite Fillion's charisma, the attractive female lead & a miniscule amount of chemistry between the leads, i'm dropping this.
Because of Fillion's charisma, the attractive female lead & a miniscule amount of chemistry between the leads, i'm still watching this.
Only two tiny edits sum up my feelings exactly. :D

Yeah, enjoyable again this week.
Also enjoying this, though it's mostly Fillion rather than the cop (who I find slightly annoying). Castle's mum reminds me of the man hunting lush best friend off Cybil.

Started watching this last night. As said already, it's nothing spectacular, but I like Fillion, and found it quite funny and enjoyed it enough to stick with it. I decided this after two episodes. Cheesy fun. It took two episodes of the similar The Mentalist for me to drop that completely.

Season 2 is being broadcast next month in the States.
Well, season 2 has started. Anyone else still watching?
Once again, the plot itself was a bit blah in the end, but Fillion still makes it well worth watching IMHO. Nice dig at CSI too. :)

I'm glad this is back. It's never going to win any awards but it's an enjoyable way to spend 45min.

Not a bad opener, but the plot was meh. Lightweight entertainment, but it doesn't pretend to be anything else which is refreshing.

Heh, awesome! :thumbs:
That's just viral marketing on Amazon though, right? There's no actual book being released?
There's even an audio book (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=8&url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400144256/thedvdforums-21) listed, which if it was read by Nathan Fillion, I think I'd buy it. :D

Definitely! :thumbs:
Turns out the book is legit and can be preordered in quite a few places. You can also read the first 7 chapters here (http://castletv.net/category/heat-wave)
Second episode was probably the weakest so far, but still enjoyable.
As for the audiobook, I've just read that Nathan Fillion isn't doing it :(
An audio CD edition of the novel “Heat Wave” based on the successful television series “Castle” will be released on October 12.
“Heat Wave” will be narrated by Johnny Heller.* Heller has been named one of the Top Fifty Voices of the Twentieth Century by AudioFile magazine.
The 7 CD unabridged audio recording of “Heat Wave” will be distributed by Tantor Media.

Well that's a shame Nathan Does great audiobook work. I remember he did the reading for a novel by a friend of his and I listened to a sample and it was pretty good.
Big fan of Nathan... but after watching episode 1 Im just not convinced on this one
BEST CASE EVER! :clap:
Loved this weeks episode! :thumbs:
This has got a full second season! whoo! :)

:clap:
The curse of Fillion is over?
This is really nice, undemanding entertainment. The chemistry between Fillion and Katic is really good.
Great Halloween episode this week. The opening couple of minutes are a must see for fans of Firefly! :notworthy

I liked that.
Although this is fairly lightweight compared to most TV I watch, I'm really enjoying this. The cases and weekly storylines aren't anything to write home about, but Fillion and the cast have a good chemistry and it all flows along with a nice sense of humour.
I might pick up a boxset if the price is right. I love the youtube clip. Although I might be a bit sad as I've watched it 7 or 8 times today. :dork:

We watched the first 2 episodes of this last night and really enjoyed it - Better than the Mentalist and Bones. Fillion is a legend.
As well as the Filllion/Firefly tribute did anyone else spot Jon Huertas paying tribute to his Generation Kill character at the end?
I did indeed. That opening bit was etremely classy. Kudos for whoever in charge of the series for allowing it to happen. Made a hell of a lot of Fillion/Firefly fans very happy (and I've watched it several times myself :D). He makes the show that much better than the likes of The Mentalist.
Great episode this week. Did anyone else spot the blatant rip-off of the bank heist music from The Dark Knight towards the end of the episode?
Does season 2 get better? I got Season 1 over Christmas and liked it but thought it was only a solid 6-7/10 so far.

More of the same i guess, im really enjoing it.
Yep, hasn't really changed much since season 1. The banter & chemistry between the main cast is getting better every week though.
Bit worried by the appearance of the incredibly cliched 'Oirish' gangsters at the beginning of this week's episode. Thankfully they weren't in it much.
Still a massively entertaining show. Why hasn't any channel picked it up for UK broadcast yet?
This weeks episode had probably the worst South African accent I've ever heard. :lol:
We know the person who hired the guy had to be rich and/or powerful. Straight out of the school of amazing plot contrivances what's the betting that it's the Mayor (presumably hiding some sordid secret that would have kept him out of power)? Just a guess, but it's the kind of Scooby-doo plot development that would fit in with the series.
I started watching this last week and it's a lot of fun; the cast is excellent.
http://series.nu/news/abc/abc-orders-more-castle/
ABC has ordered two more episodes for Castle this season taking the total number of episodes for Season 2 to 24.
Since Season 2 began viewer numbers have crept up with an increase almost every week, continuing against the trend as other shows continued to lose viewers. On October 20, ABC ordered a further nine episodes to add to the initial season order of 13.
Good news yeah? I'm guessing those 2 extra eps were taken from 'Ugly Betty' (as that show has been reduced by 2 and cancelled come the end of the season).

For a programme with a very generic concept and plots, this is turning into a favourite of ours. It's really good fun and Fillion is simply brilliant to watch.

Nobody has picked it up yet, but as it's doing pretty well now i'd imagine someone might nab it soon. If I were a betting man, i'd say Channel 5.

Is on Alibi from spring and UKTV got S2 too
Really good episode this week, with an :eek: ending, though they missed a golden opportunity. When they were debating who should play them in the movie they should definitely have had Castle suggest Nathan Fillion, with someone saying "why does someone always mention him?" :D
Good to know someone else is still watching :D
Great ep. Loved Castle playing with the FBI's Minority Report-style touch screen. :notworthy
& yes, that ending. :eek: indeed.
Excellent ending. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out, but it seems fairly obvious why the FBI were brought in this ep... (Hopefully it won't turn out that way, I don't like FBI smartboards, its too technical)
Great episode and a great ending, but I fear it will be resolved by
her jumping behind a sofa or something.
Still, I'm really loving Castle this season. Hopefully there will be a season 3?

Yep, it starts 2 weeks today on the 7th April.
Shame it isn't on a more mainstream channel though.
Link to the Castle site on Alibi (http://uktv.co.uk/alibi/homepage/sid/8203)
Part 2 wasn't as good as part 1, but still enjoyable. The resolution to the "cliffhanger" was pretty obvious.
In other news, Nathan Fillion has just reported on his Twitter account that Castle has been picked up for a third series! HUZZAH! :thumbs:
Have you heard? CASTLE has a third season pick up! Cheers to you all for making it happen.

I really need to catch up on this show over the summer.
It is very enjoyable and there's great interaction from all the characters.
And Rick is ruggedly handsome. ;)
Very nicely done season finale this week.
The line about Patterson writing another book cracked me up.
Roll on Season 3!
Yes, even though the last two minutes was incredibly cliched.
Liked the "see you in the fall" meta-reference.

Another show I had missed as I am not in to cop shows but decided to check it out as I do like Fillion's other shows and find this very easy to watch and I don't watch many cop shows find that I am constantly trying to guess who did it and end up wrong more often then not.
Superb show with a great leading character and a wonderful supporting cast. Only up to episode 16 in S2 but loving it.
Decent start to season 3. The banter wasn't quite up to the usual standards, but given the plot it was understandable. I'm sure it'll be back to normal next week. :)
Beckett looked mighty fine, & the bit with the Castle standee was great. "He really is ruggedly handsome" :lol:
:thumbs:
I'm so glad this is back. Great first episode, and Beckett seems to get more gorgeous every year.
I'm not sure why, even for an instant, they believed Castle was the Killer though.
Yes, really liked the first episode. Katic and Fillion really do have great chemistry, and it's what makes the show given the Scooby-Doo plots.
i just started watching this, S2 on Alibi, and thanks to the forums for alerting me to it. More lightweight maybe than what I usually watch, but something about it i really like. great entertainment that does not take itself too seriously. I laughed out loud a few times at the last episode. as previously mentioned: Fun.

Is it me or is Beckett pregnant...looking around it does seem to be being hotly denied but all the classic "hide the pregnancy" things are appearing...such as exposition behind the file or coffee pot
Is it me or is Beckett pregnant...looking around it does seem to be being hotly denied but all the classic "hide the pregnancy" things are appearing...such as exposition behind the file or coffee pot
I thought the same in one of the previous episodes this season (forget which one) mainly due to how she was holding herself for most of the ep.
but I'm guessing if she was, it'd be reported somewhere... :shrug:
Putting aside the dreadful plugging of WM7, I loved this episode purely for the Firefly reference toward the end. :D
Anyone here still hooked on this?
I've just seen the Nikki Heat episode, and what a gem!
The clone invasion scene was brilliant, and the closing scene... well, I was unexpectedly moved.
I'm hoping this episode rekindles the romantic side, as it's been a bit lacking in season 3 so far, in my opinion.
Yeah, I'm still watching and enjoying.

I'm hoping this episode rekindles the romantic side, as it's been a bit lacking in season 3 so far, in my opinion.I'm still miffed that they dropped the whole backstory of how much a fan of Castle's novels Beckett is and how they helped her cope with her mothers death. It's always the same though, the moment a detective show fails to hit 50million viewers by the end of season one the producers hit the "dumb down" button and **** any ongoing theme up.
Hasn't she moved on now, especially after the boom boom episodes? Coping with mum's death has evolved.
Shingster
09-01-2011, 15:59
Nope, it was more to do with her opinion of Castle's work and what he meant to her rather than a coping mechanism that was still active in the plot.

Also, whoever did the music for this episode couldn't have ripped off Inception more if they'd tried. :lol:

I guess if they alllowed older series on free TV it would dilute the value to them as a pay TV exclusive

Am I watching an episode of Castle or an advert for Windows Phone 7?
marc_angelus
03-05-2011, 10:14
lol, there's a similar moan on the Fringe thread. US tv shows are getting really bad lately for product placement. You mention the Windows phone, but have you heard how many times Castle has said "There's an app for that" this season?
It wasn't much of a Windows 7 ad as the only thing I really registered was the Netflix product placement. Can you not get that on Android or iPhone?
Yeah the in-your-face product placement has really begun to bug me recently. Hawaii Five 0 (just Bing it!), Fringe, Castle have all suffered from it far too much recently. I don't mind it when it's subtle but recently it's just far too obvious.
Bones is by far the worst offender though, they even had an entire episode last year devoted to promoting a movie, Avatar ffs, as if not enough people went to see it anyway! Last week we got at least two references to Microsoft's Skydrive. This week we were treated to what amounted to a Toyota mini-ad showing off their automated parking system!
Yeah, Bones's Avatar episode was a disgrace.
Modern Family's Ipad episode wasn't far behind.
marc_angelus
03-05-2011, 15:37
at least the modern family one captured real life to an extent, with everyone's obsession with getting an iPad on launch day. The avatar Bones episode was just cringeworthy.
But back to the castle one, it wasn't that bad, i think two or three times he used his phone to do something for the case, but it wasn't shoehorned in apart from the netflix occasion. And they can advertise as much as they like if they put Beckett in a swimsuit every week!
The worst one for me was the auto-park one in Bones, although it was funny when Sweets went "whoah, ghost driver" and i have to admit, that's some pretty cool tech, could revolutionize parking, both sexes will finally be able to do it!
Enjoyable ep I thought, reasonable light hearted as ever. I've seen worse product placement. (Ford cars in white collar for a start)
Kate was scrummy
Loved it.
Castle himself seemed a but more subdued than usual, but it was a nice change of pace (& scenery), the Hollywood doubles for Ryan & Esposito cracked me up, & Beckett looked absolutely stunning throughout. :luv:

:eek:
Well, quite a shocking end to the Season.
One thing's for sure, Season 4 is quite likely to be markedly different in tone and we'll get to see how good the creative team behind the show are as it shakes pretty much everything up. As a Season finale it all seemed a bit too rushed though, it really should have been a two-parter.
MASSIVE SPOILERS for Season 3 Finale
I'm not sure how I feel about the revelation of the third cop being Capt. Montgomery. Whilst they did their best to explain it away it all just seemed like a massive retcon to get a shock out of the viewer. It just doesn't really wash... One thing's for sure though, he was a really important supporting character and his demise will leave a big gap in the next season.
Also the scene where Ryan and Esposito find out he's the third cop and almost come to blows in the alley (that reads dodgy) just seemed incredibly generic. The 'Castle' show has almost always made a good job of wringing laughs from these genre conventions and to see them play that one straight, in so ham-fisted a manner, just didn't work for me. Obviously they were never going to go for laughs on that but I just don't think the dramatic writing was strong enough on that scene.
The final scene, with Beckett shot at the funeral and Castle finally telling her that he loves her... Well, it looks as if Season 4 is going to the one where Castle and Beckett finally get together. I guess the creators have kept the characters apart as long as they can, I only hope that it doesn't go the way of Moonlighting now.
Anyway, there's tons of new questions opened up so I'm looking forward to the next season for sure!
:eek:
Can't wait for the next season now.

Season 4 now please!!!!!
So who got the files then?
Great finale. It was kind of certain Montgomery was going to be toast after he announced his retirement in the ep before :D
Obviously Beckett is still alive, just wondering what route they will take in explaining. She was wearing a vest I guess.
Also, some fan sent this cartoon to Stana Katic. The season should have ended this way instead
http://yfrog.com/gzp0gwpj spoilers of course.
I was a teeny bit disappointed with this finale as I was expecting something really shocking and really wanted something like Alexis getting killed! Now that would've been a game changer! Or even Castle's mother getting shot and killed at the funeral by accident would've really shaken things up!
I guess after The Mentalist's excellent finale this just came up short for me.
Also, some fan sent this cartoon to Stana Katic. The season should have ended this way instead

It doesn't matter if she was wearing a vest or not, she's the star of the ******* show, she's not going anywhere which kind of makes her being shot rather empty and undramatic. Plus she'll no doubt not remember Castle saying he loves her as she'll be all delirious! Pah!

channel 5 will be showing season 1 in 2 week !
It's back... :clap:
Great start to season 4. Nicely handled resolution to last season's cliffhanger. The editing of the opening scenes was just superb. :notworthy
This week's case was a bit blah, but I guess it was really just background noise while we get up to speed again. Hopefully the new captain won't be quite as annoying as she was in 24 (although that looks like a slim hope if this episode is anything to go by).
Fillion looks like he's put on a bit of weight over the break too.... ;)

It's back... :clap:
In the States or the UK?
in the States. :suspect:
;)

Colour me impressed by the way they intend to play this out! Should make for a good season. :thumbs:
Shouldn't Beckett have a massive scar showing every time she wears a shirt or blouse that is a bit open, like in most of this episode? That's going to really bother me.
Did they say "left chest" in the hospital? If it's far enough to the side it wouldn't show (plus that means we'll get the obligatory scene with Castle running his hand over the scar to symbolise their deep connection when they eventually get down to "it").
So 4x02. Kinda nice to have it away from the story arc and just back to its usual light-hearted solve-a-murder format.
Becket: NYPD, Do not move a muscle
Castle: Unless you can move faster than a speeding bullet
:clap::lol::notworthy
Great finale.It finally happened! The scene earlier on between Castle and Beckett in her apartment was brilliant.

well worth the wait. Enjoyed it.
I really hope that they commit to this plot development, as I think it could be a really interesting change in dynamic. I'm just concerned that they'll have them all regretful the morning after the night before and press the reset button.

agreed, great finale with a real chance for a shake up of the format of the show for season 5.
Yep brilliant finale Finally...
Watched this with my girlfriend, she started crying when
Castle told Kate how he felt in her apartment
Be interesting to see what they do with it next season - will she just unresign?

There's always the possiblity that Beckett:
Has seduced Castle to gain access to his apartment/files in a final nihilistic drive to obtain access to his source and bring the killers to justice whatever the cost to her or those around her. Wouldn't put it past the writers of this show to come up with a contrivance like that to put the romance on the back burner again. Of course, they'd have to deal with how Castle could forgive her after something like that.
