Castle "Knockdown" blog. Because it had to be done.

So K wanted to go to bed, but I couldn't let the airing of "Knockdown" go unwatched. And since my snark knows no off switch regardless of whether anyone's conscious to enjoy it, in the vein of the "Tin Man" blog of doom, I shall saddle you with my inane, half-formed ramblings.

Um, Goodman, much as I love your "soothing African American tone" (tm Zack Addy back when "Bones" was good)

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS TOTALLY GOODMAN HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS??? No WONDER he looked familiar! I almost didn't pay attention to that epic scene because I kept getting distracted trying to place him. So thank you, now I'll be able to sleep at night.

You win for all the Katic hair points because she earned so many this episode, she freaking BROKE THE SCALE. Goddammit, Stana. Your hair should NOT look that perfect when you've just beat the crap out of Goodman into the one-way mirror and are being kicked off the case.

The mayor? The police commissioner? Massive Dynamic?

Having recently finished season 1 of Fringe, you win another billion Katic hair points for this reference.

But I have to tell you, I have a lot of mixed feelings about this whole scene.

Yeah, me too, much as it pains me. Though it's not about the logistics of the scene (although, now that you've pointed them out, the whole setup IS kind of weird and seemingly engineered exclusively so we could watch these two make out), more about the blocking/staging/directing because, dammit, I WANTED TO SEE THE LIP ON LIP ACTION. Not the backs of their respective heads. This is what I get for watching nothing but telenovelas during the hiatus. Shallow? Me? What?

But yeah, I too need a rewatch before I can even think of making a commentary post (because I'm totally making one). Too much to process and I don't know how I feel about a bunch of things. What I do know is that I love your snark and this post totally made my morning. :D

As I said to thedevilsheart, I yelled to Kris "OHMYGODIT'SGOODMAN" when the preview aired, that's how chock full of useless information I am. And how much season one still stands out in my head, because in my world, "Bones" ended after season two. Except for the Baby Andy episode, because those kids were wicked, wicked cute.

Her hair is the Ninth Wonder of the New World, I have deemed it so. All in favour?

missymeggins and I discussed the necessity of a Fringe/Castle crossover. Walter wanders in to Lanie's morgue looking for more singing corpses? Peter wanders into the Old Haunt and ends up discussing with Castle how to love two tough-ass women with guns? Astrid teams up with Ryan and Esposito to form the League of Extraordinary Sidekicks?

I saw you posted a reply...after I get Kris to stop hacking up a lung (I gave her the barking seal bronchitis...BAD EFFIE) I shall wander over there to read your thoughts.
