episode recaps: castle, 3.06 - 3XK.

Dec 30, 2010 01:32


-- LOL Alexis reads the end first. Insert appropriate joke about apples, trees... fathers, daughters.

-- Oh Beckett. I love how you work with the crappy dialogue you're given. "It is him. PAAAAUSE. The triple killer is back." This would not work so well for me if it wasn't for the fact that I would watch Stana Katic read the stock reports for HOURS.



Seriously though, why so perfect?

-- Oooh Montgomery gets to exposition. 3 blonde women strangled in one week, poses them as though laid out in a coffin (Dead sister? Mother?), a month off the map then 3 more. Then he disappears. Gets into apartments disguised as security guard, cable guy etc.

-- Victim uno - stalked by McHurdle? McCurdle? Mc... I don't know, this is never going to be on the menu at McDonalds. Also, I'm going to settle on McHurl-ville because this guy is gross. THE BOWLING ALIBI IS MY FAVOURITE. Also Beckett. You're killing me here.

-- OH second victim. AD BREAK.

"When did she die?"
"BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE ACTRESS IS OBVIOUSLY BREATHING I'd say..."
(Thank you, I'll be here all week, try the meatless meatballs. They taste the same, if you close your eyes.)

-- Beckett and Castle figure out that one of these murders is not like the others. Castle proves that he is in fact a woman by noticing the throw pillows are not arranged to his liking.

-- Montgomery gets depth through backstory.

-- Special kind of ruthlessness. Sigh. ... Beckett's turn to take over the exposition bus. (Honestly. This show is RIDICULOUS.)

-- Montgomery steals back wheel of exposition bus. Has another fantastically delivered melodramatic line, "Let's get him, before he gets her." DUN DUN DUN.

-- Castle is an over-protective dad. Ryan and Esposito have a domestic about filing. Subtext, you are not subtle. (Yeah, I enjoyed that.) Also, so glad Sing Sing has terrible hold music like everywhere else in the known universe, that was a nice touch sound designers.

-- Castle corrects Beckett's handwriting. Daw.

~STOCK FOOTAGE~

-- Talking to Jerry Tyson/Keyser Soze.

-- Busting Gates. Castle writes a pretty little scene about the interrogation, which makes me actually believe he's as terrible an author as whoever wrote Heat Wave. (Which, ok, I give it credit - it was obviously written and edited in about fifteen seconds. And it was enjoyable. But I should not be finding grammatical errors. My grasp of grammar is like a premmie's when it first makes it out of the womb -- surprisingly good (given that I think the extent of my formal instruction was "nouns are naming words"), but still, a little weak.)

-- Beckett actually looks menacing. Honestly. She's not his type, but woah boy, is she mine. (My TV watching habits tell us that I have a thing for cute brunette crime-fighters and doctors in ridiculous high heels.)

-- Beckett is displeased with due process. I always find it a tad unethical when cops in cop shows are adverse to their clients having a lawyer present. It's like... always get a lawyer, everyone knows that, doesn't mean you're guilty, it just means that cops aren't all ridiculously pretty beacons of morality like our Detective Beckett here and also, sometimes accused people are innocent -- this is pretty much the basis of our legal system -- god. (Although yes, I know, lawyers.. ambulance chasers, the lot of them, terrible people. To anyone I know who's going to law school: ILU lawyers, you get me off. *shifty eyebrows* - yes, I was proud of that.)

-- Gates, not a serial killer, just a really creepy dude. Gotta love that.

-- OOH A SWEAR. Detective Beckett said a naughty word... I'm not even going to finish that seedy comment, it's too easy. (Like I would be, if she showed me her badge.)

(I truly am sorry for this. In my defence ... no, there's really no defence.)

-- Time for some quality time with dad. Overprotective parenting instincts, away. Castle realises Beckett has called for no reason, Beckett realises that he has realised and makes this face (too cute):


UH, LET ME GIVE YOU A HUG.

-- Jerry is not very nice to his new best friend, Detective Ryan. Treatment like this is probably why he had no friends at school (well that and the setting things on fire, bed wetting and torturing small animals) and is now a serial killer.

-- Gates lies to save his foster brother. So noble. Still don't feel that sympathetic for him. I don't know, I find it hard to feel empathy for sociopaths - ironic? or tragic?

-- Hey Castle, hot tip, don't figure out who was the killer out loud and in front of him. Y'know, he might not like that. On the plus side, he will tie you up, which apparently you enjoy?

-- Beckett expresses concern that Castle and Ryan have gone on a date, so goes on a date with Montgomery.

-- This scene is totally illogical. He could just skip out but instead he stays to hear Castle's amateur criminal profile? I love Castle's approach to narrative. I ask: "why did that happen?" and it says: "FOR THE PLOT. IDK, SHUT UP." And it's so bald-faced about it that I just kind of respect it for it.

-- For some reason the fact that this scene happens in front of swimming pool cracks me up a little. (Also, in the last cap: here's lookin' at you lighting director.)





I am going to bad pun hell. (And yes, I saved those last four images as "copping a feel" (look at it sideways, also a terrible pun) ... so really I am going to the circle of hell reserved for people who makes puns like that, whoever is responsible for the widespread misspelling of "thru" at fast food outlets and terrorists.)
