Show of hands...who
was really excited about this weeks episode?
Everyone? That’s what I thought J. Based on the previews alone I think we were
all excited to see Kate Beckett geek out and get her fan-girl on as well as see
Castle’s response. With so many great moments this countdown was especially
hard, but someone’s got to rank them so “may fortune guide my journey” and without
further ado here are today’s top 5 Caskett moments.
5. Autographs
This episode starts out with a bang by showing
Castle at his book signing booth at the convention. He starts to ask where to sign when a “sexy” female
voice asks “could you signs my chest…” Caught
off guard, Castle looks up to find Beckett who can’t believe that saying that
actually caught his attention. For a
second we get a little glance back to the “old” Castle who would sweet talk to
the women at his book signings but he turns it back to Beckett saying “listen if you want your very own signed copy
of Storm Season I’d be happy to
arrange your own private signing.” Now
that is one book signing I’m sure all Caskett fans would love to see! I love
continued banter between Castle and Beckett and this scene set the tone for the
rest of the episode that continued with the lighthearted feel.
4. Always Use Protection…
After finding out that he should have worn some
kind of unspecified protecting when firing the thorian blaster, Castle
continues to worry that something bad will happen to him. Getting off the elevator he runs into Beckett
and Esposito asking them if they think his hair is thinning due to the Thorium
Blaster exposure. Castle then asks
Beckett “ok so if I wake up bald tomorrow you’ll still be attracted to me?” She quickly looks away causing Castle to
panic and realize “oh my god you wouldn’t...”
Beckett makes her escape into the elevator and Esposito says “with that
pumpkin head... dude.” I love small,
funny moments like this involving more than just Caskett and I loved Castle
discussing Beckett’s attraction to him in front of Esposito (even if it was
just joking). What do you think? Would you still be attracted to Castle if he
were bald?
3. Skimpy Outfits and Sweaty Fanboys
This countdown moment let us get a little “dad”
Castle, but also kept it fun with Beckett.
Getting ready to interrogate the suspect, Beckett says “it just goes to
show you sometimes people aren’t what they appear to be.” Thinking back to
seeing Alexis in her cosplay costume at the convention Castle says “for Alexis’s
sake I hope you’re right given what she was wearing” and Beckett scolds him defending
Alexis by saying she is a full grown woman.
As I typically am, I’m team Kate on this one. Sorry Castle, but your little girl has grown
up and looked stunning in her costume! Castle
continues to be a protective dad and complains “who as we speak is being ogled
by thousands of sweaty, lecherous, fanboys… its just so wrong.” I do love a protective Castle regardless of
it is with Alexis or Beckett and it will always make a top spot in my
countdown. Beckett seals the countdown spot for this moment though by saying “can
we just point out the fact that the costume that she was wearing is not so
different from the one that you are asking me to wear.” Flustered, Castle is left behind and says “don’t
say that... it’s confusing... Disturbing.” No one can get under Castle’s skin like Kate
Beckett and the cuteness of this banter earns this a solid #3 ranking on this
weeks countdown!
2. Castle Cosplay
Of course this countdown would have to include the
end scene. With discussion of Beckett’s
Nebula 9 costume the whole episode, I think we were all hoping we would get to
see her wear it preferably with Castle involved. Desperate to see her in her costume, Castle
promises to watch a Nebula 9 marathon and not make fun of the series just to
see her in one of her costumes. I
immediately thought that Beckett had something up her sleeve on this one and
was ready to see Castle get the short end of this deal. Kate slowly reveals herself wearing her Chloe
outfit but then pops out wearing a Creaver head mask. Castle jumps up off the bed and backs away
from Beckett as she asks “come on Castle are we going to make out?” Perfect ending for a fun episode, but if I
were Castle I would at least try to get my part of the deal before watching
Nebula 9… its only fair.
1. Fangirls, Costumes,
and Photos, oh my!
The one thing I was really excited about this episode
was getting to see fangirl Kate...or should I say “K-Becks.” While walking around the convention, Henry,
one of Becketts old friends from Stanford, sees her and gives her a big
hug. Beckett quickly explains she is working
to try to save herself from embarrassment in front of Castle but that only
leads to Henry saying “well that explains why you aren’t wearing your Nebula 9
outfit.” At this point Beckett looks
like she wants to go hide in a corner somewhere, but unfortunately there is nowhere
for her to hide. Intrigued, Castle asks about her outfit and he finds out she
had a few and was a “mega fan” of the show Nebula 9. To make things worse Henry even has a photo
to prove it, which Beckett quickly confiscates citing official NYPD business. Once
alone with Castle, she admits she is a “sci-fi loving, costume wearing geek”
and is not ashamed of it or Nebula 9. I
was personally cheering here for Kate sticking up for every fangirl out there
(especially later when she defends Nebula 9 and why she likes it)! No need to be embarrassed, just embrace your
inner fan-girl and be proud (you can ask my fiancé…he has to put up with me
getting all fan-girl). Castle comes up with
a deal that he will forgive her and her “terrible taste” if she wears her
Nebula 9 costume for him. Rolling her
eyes Beckett says “in your dreams” and Castle says “look at my life… my dreams
come true.” He’s got a point Beckett…
Definitely a much more fun and carefree episode than last
week, but I think it’s exactly what we needed!
