I’ve been extremely terrible at posting Castle related news on this site. My sincere apologies. I mainly post it all on my Castle site, but I’m going to start posting it here as well, since Stana is a huge part of Castle.

Castle (ABC) – There are a ton of police dramas on television these days. Maybe not literally, but it certainly feels like it! And in a sea of such heaviness, it’s just nice to have one that’s a little more fun. We don’t watch Castle for the jurisdiction or to learn anything about tactical maneuvers or protocol; instead we watch for the witty banter between the lead characters, who bicker like an old married couple but always have a hint of a smile on their faces as they roll their eyes, which keeps their relationships– and our interest– fresh. This show also is one of the rare ones that features the mystery component of the WhoDunIt? in the old-school, Sherlock Holmes-y sense. The sense of danger is never so great you can’t get wrapped up without fearing your own next door neighbor. And honestly, the fact that the sixteen-year-old helps her dad solve so many crimes just makes our own sixteen-year-old self cheer in triumph!
