I think they need to be careful about adding drama just have drama between the characters too.  That could backfire on them if they don't handle it well.  Just leave most of it to being them trying to find out what happened to Rick or something like that...they really don't need a bunch of other stuff I don't think. 

Hopefully you can get the computer fixed..or get a new one.  I know that computer trouble stinks.

So i got a friend of mine to fix my computer! So now its almost as good as new. And it didnt lose to much of the stuff on it either! So thats just great!

Anyways, over to the show..
IMHO i think there has been "alot" of drama the last few episodes, just for the drama of it. Wich i dont care about at all. I do think its ok with drama when its naturally with the story but not just to make some drama just for the drama. Like they do over at Bones. But they usually have a reason for what they do. So i'm not worried yet. And i'm almost 100% sure that they have a very good reason to "fire" Rick from the 12th. Wich i think we might get some answers on when they are back in January. Maby we will learn more about his kidnapping? Who's behind it? And what did Rick do? And WHY?

And for the last episode before the christmas break was a rather OK one. Not great, not the best. But not the worst i've seen either. For the Chirstmas part of the episode, the episode didnt get me in the Christmas mood. But i guess it was a ordinary episode going on in the christmas time.

Its not everything i agree on when it comes to the writers this season. Dont get me wrong, its a great season so far. But still there are some stuff they should have done different IMHO. But i guess before this season ends, we will have alot of questions answered. And Rick & Kate will be alot closer i think.
I hope we dont have any babies coming up! That wouldnt fit IMHO.
But we got a great month now with both christmas and new year. Wich i always looking forward to!

That's good that your friend got your computer fixed. 

There has been more of the "drama" stuff that I don't think is needed.  It is still better than what other shows do, but it does get....annoying at times.

I do think it will be interesting to see Rick out of the 12th and as a PI.  Lots of ...interesting potential there I think.  I just think the timing, with it happening in the Christmas episode, well...sucks.  lol  It just would have been nice to see more...Christmas type stuff with them, especially since this is their first Christmas married.  And to see a little more of Kate getting in the Christmas spirit...  Ooo...it could have been fun to see her trying to figure out what to get Rick.  something...anything like that would have been fun.  I guess I just wanted them to have a happy Christmas, especially since for so many years, Kate avoided everything to do with Christmas.

I haven't liked everything from this season either, but overall, I'm still happy with the show and what is going on. 

I don't think Rick's disappearance is supposed to come up again until the 2 part episode. 
I did read that Dr. Psycho is coming back..so that should be interesting.

Well, since Christmas is over i dont think we will see more of Kate and Rick celebrating the first Christmas as married. Wich i guess would be nice. But i think they did all this for a reason. They usually does. Just annoying that it was as the first christmas as a married couple. But we saw that in S05 or S06 when they decided to get some new traditions. And we know Kate dont like Christmas because of her mom. But maby next season we will see how she thinks about Christmas now. The little we saw in this episode she liked it. With the poem and everything, so thats nice tho
And when it comes to Rick's kidnapping i read somewhere too that they will touch that in the 2 parter in February. I'm not sure we will get all the answers we are looking forward to get. But some. Depends on how many seasons are left in the series i guess.
We have som interesting times ahead i guess!

I don't think we will see anything else from their first married Christmas either.  It just would have been nice to have a little more focus on that in the episode...and let Rick get kicked out of the 12th in a different episode so that there isn't any sort of....issue or sadness hanging over Christmas.  This doesn't mean that I hate the episode or anything.  I just think the timing sucks.

I think there are some interesting possibilities coming up.  The two part episodes, finding out more about what happened to Rick, Dr. Psycho coming back.  I wonder if there will be hints of 3XK when she is back.  More possibilities there.  I did see in an interview earlier - possibly over the summer, can't remember now.  Anyway, it was either Aman or Marlowe - again, I can't remember right now - and they said they definitely weren't done with 3XK.

Just a quick note about 3XK and his girlfriend. Dr Psycho.. I actually like'em. Dont get me wrong. They are creepy and serialkillers, but they play the creepy badguy in a very good way. And everytime 3XK is in a episode, the episode turns out to be one of the best episodes of the season. And we always learn something new about our DD. Last time it was that song that made Kate freeze up. And i hope that the 2 parter will have something to do with 3XK and his girlfriend. Personally i think that 3XK is alive. And i think he will be back. Atleast i hope so.

Oh I agree about 3XK and Dr. Psycho.  Yes they are ...well...technically horrible - killers and all that - but oh do they make good villains.  Those episodes have been very interesting and entertaining..even the ones that 3XK wasn't actually in.  Kick the Ballistics....he was basically pulling the strings even though we didn't actually see him.  Then he was back the next year....can't remember that episode title now..but when he framed Rick...and faked his own death.  yes I think he faked his death.  Anyway, with Disciple, 3XK isn't actually in it either...at least as far as we know.  There was that one coughing guy that was there at just the right time that could have been 3XK with a new face.  Anyway, I'm thinking that the next time more comes up about 3XK, he will definitely be in the episode..and we'll know it.  But that's just me.  Though evidently Marlowe and/or the new show runner plan to bring him back sometime.  One of them said we haven't seen the last of him in an interview from earlier this year.  So that would seem to indicate, at least to me, that he is definitely still alive and will return.  It is definite that Dr. Psycho is coming back...I've read in a few places that she will be back.  So that should be good.  Creepy as hell I'm sure, but interesting and good.

So, again i'm sorry for being late to the party. Been with busy with real life (again! :\) Merry Christmas btw!

But yeah, i both hope and think that 3XK is still alive. And from what AM&Co have said in interviews he is still alive. It would be interesting to see Dr.Pschyo AND 3XK back in a episode TOGETHER, that would give us a nice twist!
Well, busy day today. People coming over soon too! So have a nice christmas!

[Piffi]

Hey! Long time, no talk really. Whatsup? How are you? Did you enjoy the holidays etc?
When is Castle back on tv? This upcoming Monday allready or?

[Dragonfire]

Work has been a bit busy for me already....this is the first time I've been online at home for like a week or something. 
Holidays were good...just had more training for work closer to Christmas than we've had in previous years. 

Castle was back this week...on the 12th.  I enjoyed the episode.  It was fun. 

(click to show/hide)

I did read the other day that 3XK is definitely going to be back this season...in the two part episode in February.  When Dr. Psycho is supposed to be back too. 

I knew he was still alive. 

[Piffi]

So, after 2 weeks in the hospital i'm finally home!! So i think i got some catching up to do. Havent been able to watch any of my tv-shows. So i just hope Castle has been delivering the goods while i've been in and out of surgery and stuff. Ah, its good to back!

[Piffi]

Soo, i was a bit sceptical i guess about Rick being a PI for too long. But they are making it work somehow. But i hope they are getting him back to the precinct soon! We see how Kate and Rick are missing the work together! But they are pulling it off! Oh, i saw the promo for next episode (the 2 parter) wow. 3XK is back!! And he is under a different name. I cant wait to see that (those) episodes!! Will be great.
What you think about the season so far?

[Dragonfire]

I have managed to keep up with Castle even though I've been working like 12 hours a day.

I liked Rick being a PI..that was entertaining.

I really liked the last 2 episodes.  Very good.  Dr. Psycho was in full on creepy mode, especially in the second episode.  She may be more twisted than 3XK. 
I ddidn't believe that he wasn't 3XK...he'd planned to use that identity for a long time...and with Dr. Psycho as his handy dandy sidekick, she could give him the little scar behind the ear he said was all that was left from his plastic surgery.  Ohhh...wait....I just remembered something.  Back in the first episode with 3XK, after Rick figured it out, and Tyson had him tied him, Tyson talked about how he could change his face and it not being the first time..so the little scar he said was all that was left from the plastic surgery could have been from when he changed his face before.  And when he went back to his mother's place a few years back, he could have planted that tooth.  Heck he may have done that after the first time he tangled with Rick...3XK has wanted to basically get back at Rick because Rick figured out the truth and messed up 3XK's plans. 

As soon as Kate got that call from that woman that had been with 3XK, I knew it was a trap.
When they went in that place and thought they found Kate...I knew that it wouldn't be Kate.  There had to be some sort of Kate double. 
Rick did not deal well with Kate being missing, though he came up with a good plan to catch him.  I figured out that Esposito was outside somewhere with the sniper rifle about 10 seconds before he shot 3XK.  lol  Now he is dead.  And so is Dr. Psycho.  Man she was creepy when she was alone with Kate. 

I liked how Gates talked to Rick..how she didn't get why Kate put up with him at first..then she saw how he contributed..  and about how he saw the story while Kate saw the evidence.  She did seem happy that Rick could officially go back to the 12th at the end too. 

I think they dealt well with 3XK and I'm satisfied with how that was resolved.  Another long term type story arc that they handled really well.  The Bones dumbasses really should take some notes and learn something.  Now they just need to deal more with Rick's missing 2 months.

The next episode looks like it will be fun..which will be nice after these last two intense episodes.   

[Piffi]

Its good to have you back!

Oh, this two parter was maby the best two parter i've seen! Its always great to have Tyson and Dr.Pshyco back. They are really great villians. And when i first saw 3XK being arrested at the apartment, and telling the guys he was Mike something. I was 100% sure that he was Tyson. But i'm still not sure how they managed to change his DNA tho.  Oh, and the second episode of the two parter. WOW, Nathan hitting the out of the park big time!! I like to see the darker sides of Rick once in the blue moon. And Stana playing Kate in shock. Just great.  And how the episode ended, with both being killed. Amazing finish.
And let me just say this. Jerry Tyson might be one of the best villians on moderen tv. How he manged to do it all, and that mastermind. Well..
What a show we are witnessing.

Oh, when Kate was being called, i was sure too that it was a trap. And then she got that call with the song. Creepy. But we havent got any answers yet have we? On why Kate hate that song so much?
And what about that creepy wink in the elevator from Tyson?
Oh, and i just have to say that i liked Captain Gates in this episode aswell. She was great. Espcially the talks between her and Rick. Showing that she can be a human after all. Great scenes. But next week its a fun episode again. So i guess they will have their friendly fights again. Oh, great to have Rick back at the 12th too. Even tho Rick was ok as a PI its good to have him back.

Though I enjoyed it very much, and was really tired of 3XK, the only down side for me was probably Kates escape.  Even with one hand undone how did she get out and kill the person with the blade? .. it just seemed kind of contrived to me.  Otherwise i liked it.
