Subject: New EW scoop on the Politician Wed Oct 26, 2011 5:14 am
Got any good Castle spoilers? — Melissa ADAM: Sounds like Beckett and Castle are going to have to tread lightly on an upcoming case. It concerns a politician who, despite being well-loved among his constituents, finds himself mixed up in a crime. Given what we know about Capt. Gates' desire to move up the ranks, we bet she'll be paying closer attention than ever to this case.

Hmmm....more info on that politician episode....upon reading it, I definitely can see it having some repercussions for Castle. For one, it involves a sex scandal, and since they seem to have brought back in some of that playboy Castle back (Beholder & Heartbreak Hotel) perhaps it will be a reminder of why he's stopped setting beds on fire and coating curtains with jam. The second reason is a bit more direct...check out why at http://www.tvguide.com

Subject: Ausiello spoilers for Cuffed and Celebrity (4x13) Tue Nov 15, 2011 11:06 pm
Question: I am a loyal follower and this is the first time I have asked for scoop! Do you have anything about the Nov. 28 episode of Castle entitled “Cuffed”? Specifically, how do Beckett and Castle get handcuffed together in the first place? —Lauren
Ausiello: Good question. So good that I went directly to series creator Andrew W. Marlowe for the answer. He said, “Fans should be very curious as to why Beckett and Castle are handcuffed together” — and they’re not alone in that. “I think Beckett and Castle are very curious as to why they are cuffed together, and wonder why they can’t remember exactly how it happened.”
Question: Waiting for a new episode of Castle is killing me! I need spoilers, Aus! —Ivy
Ausiello: Sounds like Castle is about lampoon — or pay homage to? — Kim “72 Days” Kardashian. The show is casting the role of Kay Cappuccio, a charismatic reality-TV star “who has achieved significant fame and fortune without possessing any discernible skill or talent” and whose “knockout body have made her a favorite of tabloids and gossip sites the world over — one of which has placed a huge bounty on her booty.” It’s totes KK, right? That’s what I thought, until I read the last sentence of the character descrip: “Kay both relishes this spotlight and at the same time feels like a prisoner of her own celebrity lifestyle — the result is a woman who is more complex than she might at first seem.” Complex?! Kim? Um, no, I think I had a cactus once that demonstrated greater depth than she ever has. And it had a bigger vocabulary, too.

Isn't Cuffed going out on the 5th December? Oooookay...moving on! Beckett & Castle don't know how they've come to be cuffed together? The shippers have finally kidnapped them? That...or Lanie, Esposito, Ryan...and even Gates have had enough with the UST! Oh man, this means some loony has a) drugged 'em, b) knocked 'em out cold, c) Tasered them or d) They've been taken by one of the alphabet agencies again (You know the ones...the ones where your waiting for them to bring out the old Nazi with the dentist drill.

Yeah, Buddy! I've always felt the arc about Beckett's mom had a very noir kind of vibe to it. Like "Knockout" had a bit of that Chicago/ChinaTown/L.A. Confidental feel to it. (Plus the little shout out to "The Third Man." The forties stuff is way stylized and fun, but the genre is still dark - hence, "noir" I know, I know. However, sometimes with the stylization in the speech patterns, clothes and whatnot the darkness of the 40's stuff often gets glossed over. Key Largo, Sunset Boulevard, Strangers on a Train, the names are famous and the topics may at first glance seem glossy and romantic, but at the core they are dark films. Being that this is Marlowe, I'm really thinking he's, as they say, gonna bring it.

Okay people...
These interviews have Kill Shot references in them but they also deal with other aspects of the show (relationships/story arcs) so I'm putting them in here...
(Watch the "extra" video...is it just me or do the audience members look like they have jets of water coming out of their heads? Yes. I am easily distracted. Why do you ask? )

Subject: GMMR interviews Andrew on Cuffed, plus the rest of season 4! Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:58 am
I started to list this in the Cuffed spoilers, but the interview covers SO much more than that! (Gotta say, GMMR does GREAT interviews!) Aside from Cuffed, Andrew discusses the upcoming wedding, the 3X killer, Beckett's emotional journey, new love interests (don't panic!) and his thoughts about will they/won't they relationships.
ALL of that in ONE interview!
Here's MY favorite snippet:
Andrew Marlowe via GMMR wrote:
...But we’re not going to be dictated by the success and failures of other shows. We are dealing with the rhythm of two characters, who for all of us on the show, have become real people in our lives. And who we are rooting for the same way we root for friends to find true love and overcome the obstacles. So it feels like the rhythm of our storytelling is going to dictate things more than anything else. And we know there are more challenges and more complications, but I also know that when couples do get together, there are still challenges and still complications and it’s still interesting. And if you’re the right kind of storyteller, happily ever after can be the beginning of storytelling, not just the end.
I just LOVE what he says here. A) not depending on what other shows do or have done in order to decide what he does in his. B)That a couple getting together does NOT have to be then endgame!
All-in-all, this is a really thorough interview. It has spoilers, but even more it has his thoughts about about some of the choices they've made thus far, what point he thinks the show is currently, where he wants to go and how he plans to get there. Really, the man is brilliant.

Because of this
Quote :
You obviously know how the fans react whenever a possible love interest enters the mix, and most recently the show experienced that when Kristin Lehmen was cast in a small part earlier this season. Now that Castle has expressed that he loves Beckett and she heard his confession, are outside love interests a thing of the past for them? Or do you see the potential for a third party to come into the mix and give one of them a run for their money? AM: Well, if we were to do that, it would have to be significant, and it would not be something that we would do flippantly. But currently, we do not have those plans. And we’re currently planning the back half of the season, and that’s not something we’re looking at. We feel that there’s so much complication in the relationship right now and there’s so many things going on beneath the surface that that’s not necessary.
Now, can somebody come in and knock the balance off? Sure. But if we were going to look at that, it would have to be in a really intriguing way, in a way we haven’t done before on the show because we don’t want to go to the same well. We think the Gina well is dry, we think the Josh well is dry. It’s not just having another person mess with the equilibrium.

It is understandable, but AM is not HH. You should read the tweets between Terri Miller and Andrew Marlowe, and once you do you will notice that Caskett is their baby and mirrors their relationship in some ways. This is the advantage Marlowe has. Terri Miller, his wife, is part of the production team, and she cares about these characters. She keeps Marlowe on track.

More talk about Beckett and Castle's relationship...while Marlowe to me seems somewhat reassuring, I suggest you don't read the Wet Paint blurbs unless you WANT to be in a bad mood.
Also would love to know what Andrew's interview makes people think about the rest of season 4?
Subject: Re: Miscellaneous Season 4 Spoilers Tue Dec 13, 2011 3:42 am
I find it reassuring. When asked about other "temptations", Marlowe does not answer the question directly. Instead he focuses on the secrets between them. Marlowe has already been asked by GMMR the same question, and he said that the Josh and Gina well is already tapped out. What he foresees as the obstacle between them is that they are keeping secrets from one another. This is what the second half of the season will be out. How will these two react when the secrets are exposed. Is their growing "relationship" strong enough to overcome what would normally tear most couples apart. To me the secrets are important, and they required careful writing. To throw an SO arc in the middle of that is unnecessary.

It being unnecessary has not stopped many a show from throwing in in. Especially on a non-cable network. Especially one who's big advertising bucks are spent on a reality TV show called "The Bachelor."
My hope is that some Jennifer Beal's character from "The 'L' Word" carries over. Namely, the 'L' word. If she's gonna be a blast from his past, at least it will be clearly platonic. Then we'll get more of a Agent Shaw-like situation. Still, the fact that I can say a "agent Shaw-Like" situation, or really start to say one episode is gonna be like another is worrisome. It only come up with the possible SO stuff.

Frankly, I'm not worried. What are we supposed to do anytime an attractive guest star is Cast?
As we know, Castle has "CIA" connections (See Fool Me Once") and loves bringing up the CIA in all his murder theories. I'm betting that she is one of the people he has used in the past for character research, but Castle being Castle he got on her nerves.

Not every attractive guest star. Just the ones they say he's had a "history" with. Kira. (Their other code word is "chemistry.) It's also been implied that every woman that's been a major character in his books is someone he also slept with, Kira mentions it about the dedication and the boys point out that one of the characters in his series seems to be based on her.
I am hoping it IS nothing, but the languaging and circumstances are suspicious to me. Especially since he's done Beholder. That ep was a strike one and definitely shook my "faith" a little in Marlowe.

I just saw this little tidbit about Beals elsewhere and came here. After seeing your remark about not reading if you don't want to be in a bad mood.... well I don't feel like being in a worse mood... and I guess I was right in holding off buying the season DVDs of Castle.
My faith since Beholder is definitely very shaky :/

Nah, I'm not worried.
Marlowe is loathe to do a story repeat through the four seasons, he's not gonna tread that path again this season. Art lady came, went, gave Castle his coffee back and sent Beckett to the shrink. She did what she needed to. She went. Job done.
CIA Lady could be a whole different ball game. Now...she could get on with Castle, be one of his old "go to people" during his Derrick Storm years. In which case, if Castle trusts her...Lord help us all if he's mentioned Beckett's mother's case to her? That could let cats out of bags and set the ball rolling for a season finale like S3...except this time it could be Castle at deaths door. (Can't shake the feeling of foreboding that something is gonna happen to Castle. Don't ask me why? I just think that Alexis brought it up in "Rise" and there was the hint of it in "Cops & Robbers"...don't think it's been played out to the full extent yet in S4.)
Then again she could hate Castle. (If she came upon him Rick Castle circa Season 1 all "I borrowed a police horse..." and all "where would ya like it?" pen poised to sign someones breast *cough* I mean chest...)
Just because they have "history" I don't think it always means romantic history. It could just mean back story?
(I also think Castle are working their way through the old cast of Chicago Code...Fine by me! Bring it on! I loved that show. Crying shame it got pulled. )

There's a theory on twitter that she's the "inspiration" for the CIA agent in the Derrick Storm novels. Apparently Beals LOOKS like the character in the graphic novel...
@Tink, you had more tolerance for Beholder than I did. I still felt the first half was icky. However, I do like your theory that the agent starts digging into her past. About a week ago Marlowe was tweeting about misssing Dana Delaney. Agent Shaw would have been PERFECT for Rick to confide in about Beckett's case and get that ball rolling. So maybe, he's invented this character instead and there won't be that romantic tension from a past history thrown in.
Also, yeah, I think something happens to Rick, too. It's a perfect season finale mirror of S3. They have a big fight about his "secret" and then something major goes down and that fight is forgotten in the face of the larger truth that he'd do anything for her...and her for him. I think it needs to be HER instincts involved also - like how Rick tried to push her down at the funeral without thinking of how HE could have been killed. So, he goes and puts himself in danger for her mom's case - ala Roy Montgomery, only unlike with Montgomery, Kate does rush in and keeps Castle from being outright killed, but his life hangs in the balance... Then she has to face not only his loyalty and and the dread of not having him in her life, but that her HEART already knew this, because HER instinct was also to save him - regardless of her own safety. (How's that for a spin?)

What was interesting about episode 5 was how differently they handled the potential threat to the relationship than they would have in previous seasons. So you saw an element of jealousy, of grounded jealousy, from Beckett that you wouldn’t have seen earlier, when it was just, “That’s Castle being Castle.” She was really a little bit protective and it got under her skin, and I think that shows a maturity in the relationship. The things that he was responding to in her were the things he responded to in Beckett — a smart woman, an intelligent woman, a woman who can hold her ground. But really, at the end of the day, there was no contest.

I Knew it. Sophia was the inspiration for a character on one of the Derrick Storm Novels. Some intrepid fans are claiming the she is Clara Strike from graphic novel.
Synopsis: While tracking down a missing husband for a desperate wife, Private Investigator Derrick Storm discovers there’s a lot more to the job than he’s been led to believe when he discovers the missing husband is actually a rogue CIA operative involved in selling national security secrets to enemy forces. He soon finds himself knee deep in international intrigue when he’s recruited by the lovely and dangerous Clara Strike, a CIA agent with a penchant for trouble and adventure.

TV Guide Mega Buzz - Dec 13
So excited to hear that Jennifer Beals is coming to Castle. What else can you tell me about the two-parter? — Eliot
ADAM: Beals plays Sophia, a CIA operative who's in town to capture a former Navy Seal who has gone rogue. (He's taken to abducting young women.) As you might expect, a bit of a turf war between the CIA and the NYPD will ensue, but that's nothing compared to the tension between Sophia and Beckett, who learn that they have a lot in common. (Think Nikki Heat.)
