"Looks like Buffy's visiting the Big Apple."
Just as fluff and random quotes from the episode. Consider yourself warned.
I hope this sets up a precident of Halloween episodes because I love Halloween episodes. And this one made me happy in the first five minutes. Nathan Fillion dressing as Mal. Priceless. And the fact that Castle is hardcore into Halloween pleases me to no end. I really hope this becomes a trend.
Ryan dating a girl into the lifestyle. "Did your relationship suck?" FTB on that one, baby. Oh, Ryan, you looked so innocent. Not anymore, darling. Not anymore. You've got a streak of the freak, haven't you? Even if you wouldn't have sex in a coffin.
I love how they do the quick wit exchange and then the bottom drops out and it's serious business. It's a great, realistic rhythm. It works very well.
"What are you going to wear?" "You wanna know...you gotta show...to see what I got going on."
Opening the coffin was actually a pretty good scare. The misdirection, the temporary relief, the shock. Well done. As a horror movie lover, I appreciate the classic executions. Bonus points for the guy actually biting Castle and then reacting to sunlight by blistering. The explanation, of course, was rational, but for a split second, it looked like he was an actual vampire. That was really cool.
"You wanna bite me, you buy me dinner."
Father/Daughter pumpkin carving was cute. I love how serious Alexis is about her baby egg, to the point of asking Castle to babysit. And the fact that Castle humors her and actually takes the egg to work.
Anytime spirit gum comes into the costume equation, you are serious business about your Halloween. I'm just saying.
Castle rescuing Alexis and her friend. He should have worn a cape. All joking aside, I loved how he stepped up as a parent, not only saving the girls and taking care of the drunk friend, but making Alexis give him her friend's parents' number. Maybe he's a little more responsible than he's willing to take credit for.
But, I'm pretty sure he left the egg baby with Beckett, though. He did. Bad grandpa. Good Beckett. She took care of him. So sweet.
This case went a little more twisted than just vampires and werewolves and a raving nutjob living in a warehouse. We went from Dracula meets the Wolfman to The Hand Rocks the Cradle. It was a nice ride.
That was kind of a cruel trick Castle played on Beckett, making up the story about the dead kid on the beach, but I kind of saw it coming. I think that's why Beckett wasn't too pissed about it. Castle is just that kind of ass.
Poor Alexis. Her friend killing the egg baby was just cruel. I wouldn't have just gotten a D in science; I'd have gotten suspended for giving that girl a good beat down. I think this is why we didn't have to take care of babies when I was in school. It would teach more domestic violence than baby raising skills.
Loved the costumes, even though my first reaction to Castle's was "why are you dressed like Scott Bakula?" Note to Nathan Fillion: beware your hairstyle/facial hair combo. It could be treacherous. Beckett's costume was especially good. Nice revenge. She does know how to play them. Good times.
In other, non-writer hottie related news, I tried a new recipe tonight. Spinach and shrimp pasta. I thought it was good. And judging by the fact that the pan was completely empty and looked like it had been licked, I'd say that everyone else in the house liked it, too. Looks like I've got another keeper.
