I was expecting Beckett to declare herself as 'Nikki Heat.'
I thought that would've been too much of a cop-out (get it?), but didn't know what to expect other than something sexy. One of my favorite episodes from last season is still the one with the ex-jewel thief where she's in the strapless red dress.
I quite enjoy this show. But you know what? It's a pretty mediocre cop show. That portion is fairly plain, commonplace, and often predictable. You know what else, though? It doesn't matter
This show is great because of the characters. They're just so awesome! I love the way they interact with each other, play off each other, and carry themselves. They're just so entertaining to follow along. I love it!
I'm routinely surprised by the other actors holding their own against Castle and Beckett.
I thought Castle's daughter had the best line of the most recent episode, "Didn't you wear that five years ago?" and Esposito and Ryan continue to be awesome.
I agree with the cop part. While they're usually at least interesting, its not uncommon for me to correctly guess who the murderer was and for what reason. The characters make it worthwhile tho, I really enjoy the banter.
So apparently there was a hidden Firefly reference, and someone just figured it out in twitter. I'll spoil it in case anyone wants to hunt for it-
When Fillion pops out in his firefly costume, in one of the bookcases you can see the Catalyzer from 'Out of Gas'. You know ,that thing that Mal had to put into the engine to get it to start again.

Had to go back and watch my copy on the DVR after Fillion mentioned it on twitter:
when he bursts out the door in the Mal costume, there's a certain Nothing Part Until You Need One sitting on the shelf
[Edit]
At least, I'm assuming you two are talking about the same thing, as I've never seen Firefly so wouldn't have gotten the reference even if I did see it.

I just finished the Nikki Heat book Heatwave, and it is a pretty solid mystery book. If you like the show then you will definitly like the book, and I found the mystery much better then what they normally have in the show.
Only drawback is the book is a short novel, took me a few days to read it. It's about only 200 pages.

annoyingly, it's not out in the UK yet.
Next month's book allowance will include this though.
Also, much enjoying the second season of Castle, and I did squeeeeeee a lot when there were all the Firefly references. :P

Um... last week?
Last week, the partner in crime of the Arctic exploration CIA agent, the wife of the councilman who'd been having an affair... So yeah, that's at least 3 right off the top of my head.

Well, yea, if you put it that way... ever since I got married, when husbands are the murderers, it just grates on me, 'cause we're not all fuming lunatics
ps: Obama killed her.
spoiler for next week's episode synopsis
Episode Synopsis: A bike messenger is murdered en route to delivering evidence that could free a man from prison. The case is linked to a murder Capt. Montgomery probed 10 years ago, and a prominent New York family's secrets figure into the investigation.

The bus scene in particular was really jarring. I know the focus of the show isn't the cop side, but that was blatantly implausible and screamed amateur police show writing to me.
Yeah this episode didn't really do it for me either, particularly the cheesy ending.

This definitely seemed like a filler episode, but it was still good. Nice little Castle isn't just a big twelve year old and actually cares about his kid and hates bad people moment.
Only thing that was kind of silly about getting angry about the rape... Uhh he also killed her Castle so you know on the scale of bad things the murder is a bit above rape.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Castle is the father of a teenage daughter. The dude betrayed the girl's trust (and later killed her). I for one find his anger over the rape perfectly understandable.

I dunno I guess I got a little "Why so serious?" The one thing I really like about this show is that we don't get a csi miami david caruso kneeling to a child moment.

Also the dude was a father figure for the girl, so double whammy of anger.
Which is a bit of an issue. Why is it always the distraught parent/spouse figure that they have to tell at the beginning of the episode lately? This week, last week, that model's husband...

To be fair I don't really pay attention to the cases other than how the characters play off of what happens.
Like I have no damn clue who killed what last week nor do I really care.
A coating of realism for the show? In reality people usually are wronged (murdered, assaulted, raped) by those closest to them not some random person.
Psh, realism schmealism. The point of a mystery is to have the victim be unpredictable enough that you have to figure it out. It's not like "crazy stalker" or "abusive druggie bandmate" aren't viable suspects, either.
Not that it matters much. We're all watching this show more for the funny sexy adventures of Mystery Writer Mal, not for the elaborate mystery plots. But still.

Anyone think the trenchcoat was a Buffy reference too?

Sometimes a trench coat is just a trench coat.

To be completely honest, it seems like they're going for the cheesy hardball detective drama that exists in Niki Heat-style bestsellers.
See how many books I've read so far in 2010
It seems that way to me--they're eating up the cheesy cop show stuff, and having fun with it.
