just watched the Halloween episode of Castle. One nice thing about episodic television vs continuous story tv is that they can have fun things like a holiday episode.
I think the creative background of Castle did something amazing in this episode. The characters atended a costume party, and their costumes, were the wardrobe from their previous work! Nathan Fillion in full Mal Reynolds regalia was fantastic. also the writing to go along with it:
Alexis: What are you supposed to be?
Castle: Space Cowboy.
Alexis: Didn't you were that, like, five years ago. Seriously, let go.
BRILLIANT!
this show is a nice twist on cop shows, a bit more humor, but also has strong crimes. In the end, the show has heart, which is what separates it from the rest. It may be a respun Moonlighting or Scarecrow and Ms. King, but I like it lots.
