Understanding Kate Beckett - A fan’s analysis on why Kate Beckett wants some distance from husband, Richard Castle

A/N: Originally published in three parts at Voice Of TV . Edited for clarity and correctness (called being a bit OC :) ). Castle ’s eighth season opened up with one half of our married, crime-solving duo, newly minted captain of the 12 th Precinct Kate Beckett and famous mystery novelist Richard Castle, missing. It started out as Rick looking for and worrying where his wife was. Turns out that Kate was being chased by several mercenaries connected to Bracken and some project (or someone) called LOCKSAT. It led to her decision to leave the loft and the happy life she’s living with her husband. It broke the hearts of millions of Caskett fans around the globe. The outcome of the second episode, the second part of the season opener, and story arc, is now much-debated in various platforms across the web. Others are calling it quits just because they only watched for the couple. Others are blaming the writers and new showrunners, Terence Paul Winter and Alexi Hawley, not really k...

Castle Season 8 Promo

Image
Finally! The new Castle promo is here! This has scenes from the upcoming season premiere. Okay, what the hell is that thingamajig that has Always written on it? It seems that Kate is on the run again and "leaves" Castle to keep him safe. Please, PLEASE, leave Kate alone. The girl is happy being married and all to the love of her life! lol I'm excited now! Two more Mondays and we get to see the season premiere! AAAAAAHHHHH!!! The first episode is called XY and the second is XX . A two-parter premiere like two seasons ago. The first is told in Rick's point of view and the second, Kate's. Yeah, that's what the titles are. Not Caskett babies. I wouldn't say no to little Caskett babies but let the TPTB put it in their story organically. Don't force it.

Bullet Point: Castle 709 Last Action Hero

Image
I know I didn't do last episode. I actually didn't feel like it because I didn't like it too much. It's not the story itself but how it was " w eav ed" . And it has discrepancies. But I'm here for the story and the entertainment. :) And this is late. Quite busy. On with our program. WRITER : Christine Roum   DIRECTOR : Paul Holahan

Bullet Point: Castle 707 Once Upon A Time in the West

Image
WRITER : Terrence Paul Winter   DIRECTOR : Alrick Riley Oops! A bit delayed. But here is my new bullet point. I'll put everything under the cut for possible spoilers (why haven't you watched it yet?!) or because of all the cuteness! ;)

Sneak Peeks

Image
ABC released a screener this weekend for Castle 's Monday's episode - 7 07 Once Upon A T ime in the West - and spoilers abound but no. I didn't see much of the spoilers except for the last scene which is super cute ( Oh noes! I didn't see the screener and I'm pretty okay with it. I want to be just as excited as those who haven't seen it . :) ). A tribute to Old West films. Actually, it makes me remember 414 The Blue Butterfly end scene except... ;) Anyway, two more sneak peeks. The first is not of great quality, though but the audio is clear.

Bullet Point: Castle 706 The Time of Our Lives

Image
WRITER : Terri Edda Miller DIRECTOR : Paul Holahan I haven't watched the latest Once Upon A Time so I will interchange my bullet points at the moment. And because finally! Caskett! #CaskettAtLast AU*! Woot! This is definitely a great episode! Seen on Tumblr : Do not mess with Beckett in the kitchen. Me: I agree. That melon (cantaloupe) just got murdered by Beckett and she pretty much enjoyed it. Beckett received an invitation to Will Sorenson's wedding. I thought it was weird to invite an ex-girlfriend but then things ended up amiable with them. Unlike Josh. Lanie and Espo are late to the crime scene. Ehem! Traffic is NOT an excuse. Ryan, Beckett, Castle, and the rest of the SOCO team are already there. *coughSEXcough* Weird looking artifact! It looks like that wall thing in 606 Get A Clue . Beckett : Why do you always have to touch everything? Castle : I thought you liked that about me. I suddenly had some very dirty and smutty visions. Castle thrown into th...

Castle 704 Child's Play Gifsets

Image
Yey!! Some memorable scenes from the episode.   Making Beckett taste the potato chip fudge ice cream, which he said tastes salty and sweet, just like him. Okay, Beckett relents. Hm...because Castle...what you said, she likes it!

Bullet Point: Castle 704 Child's Play

Image
WRITER : Rob Hanning DIRECTOR : R ob Bowman Castle's favourite flavour of ice cream is potato chip fudge - sweet and salty just like him. He said that to entice Beckett to taste it. And I must say: Beckett, you can do your ew face and wince but you like the taste. Innuendo much? (coughFanfiction!cough) Sweet! He fed Kate ice cream! Castle still deflects questions and references from when he disappeared. The look on Beckett's face when they were trying to find out who the kids can relate to, an adult yet a kid at heart, is just gold! That raised eyebrow is awesome! Very subtle, Beckett, very subtle. I've been in classrooms before and the kids were not as rowdy as this bunch. When Castle was checking the kids' stories, he said that whatever happened, if one of them was the witness to the crime of the week, it will flow in their stories. Is it a subtle reference to what happened to Castle when he was 11? That somehow he had written it in one of his books? The fl...

Saturdate With Mum

Image
Yey! For the first time in forever (well since May) , I managed to get out of the house and go to a proper mall. Haha! Just window shopping since I don't have any funds at the moment. In any case, I came with my mum, a Saturdate, because she watched the movie of her favourite and only local idol, John Lloyd Cruz. The movie is The Trial . I didn't watch. I wanted to watch Gone Girl but it will start at a much, much later time so I didn't. She was inside the theatre when I wandered around. A few minutes before the end of the film, I stayed at Starbucks to continue writing my fanfiction story. I only managed to write a few paragraphs because it was quite hard and I actually forgot the chronology of the episodes. Yes, it's another songs-that-makes-sense thing but this isn't several one-shots but instead a proper story. After her movie finished, she followed me to Starbucks and decided where we'll eat lunch. We ate at this Thai restaurant called Banana Leaf . It ...

Castle 703 Clear & Present Danger Gifset

Image
As promised. This is THE most talked about scene mostly because this is the first time we've actually seen Caskett rough it up in bed even if it was interrupted the first time. I won't be doing the last scene between them but you can see the clip online. I know it's not the best colours but I don't use Photoshop doing gifs. I use Instagiffer instead. I have GIMP which can do gifs but I don't have the necessary plugins to gif directly from the source video. I can enhance it using layering but it contains around 20 pictures per gif and editing them should be consistent. *Okay, I may just be chicken to do that because I don't want to lose the cuteness of the gif. lol* The first sneak peek for the episode next week, 704 Child's Play , is released. Nathan Fillion with a kid looks awesome! Dee

Castle 702 Montreal Screencaps

Finally! I'm not going to screencap the next episode but instead I will try and see if Blogger will now accept gifs. Woot! Caskett bedroom scene!

Bullet Point: Castle 703 Clear & Present Danger

I'm lucky I'm still alive to post my bullet point observations of this episode. I think this episode just killed the whole fandom, right smack in the middle! WRITER S : Chad Gome z Creasey / Dara Resnik Creas ey DIRECTOR : Kate Woods Sexually Frustrated Caskett is always awesome! Pool! Nothing like it! I miss playing billiards. But using a cue stick as murder weapon...damn it! I have a personal cue stick hidden somewhere in this house! What was Castle's Valentine's gift to Beckett? It's something to wear. Sexy lingerie? Do not answer the phone Beckett! Always do not answer the phone if you want to font! Especially if you two haven't fonted for a long time! Long time is like 10-12 weeks. Two months Castle was missing, plus say there's around two to three weeks, in universe, since the first episode. The latte in her blue cup is back, complete with a heart on top. Touched the ass. Castle touched her ass. More like grab. Beckett lying to Gates be...

Bullet Point: Castle 702 Montreal

Image
WRITER: Andrew W Marlowe DIRECTOR: Alrick Riley A W Marlowe. Really? ;) More questions than answers regarding Castle's disappearance. But according to Matt Letscher's character, it was Rick who asked to forget those two months. I'm betting that that won't be the last we see of Matt's character. Castle begging to be allowed to travel to Montreal is really cute. And Beckett giving in because she knows that Alexis, who volunteered to go with her dad, will keep him grounded. "It's Canada! How risky could be it?" - Both of you should know. You're both born in Canada - one in the French side, one in the British side. The "38" key is for a safe deposit box in a bank in Montreal. The box contained envelopes addressed to Kate, Martha, and Alexis. The envelopes contain memory cards with Castle's message to each of them, all similar: that if they're watching it, he's already dead. When Kate watches the message, it's just ...

Castle 701 Driven Screencaps

Image
I'm late for these but it's better late th an never lol. Just busy this week and there are shows that I wanted to look at (ehem! Selfie ! Go check it out!) . *These are my screen captures and my edits.

Bullet Point: Castle 701 Driven

WRITER : David Amann DIRECTOR : Rob Bowman Kate running to the burning car! She really tried to get to that burning car to see if Castle was really there. In her wedding dress. Almost the whole cold open was released in three separate sneak peeks, including the extended one. And people reacted why Beckett immediately went into cop mode when the latter was released. I think it's because she's confident that Castle is alive and that they will find him. Beckett tackling the junkyard machine operator. New type of Beckett: Linebacker Beckett. Kate interrogating the operator - scary. Seriously! She nearly broke the man's thumb when he doesn't answer and she threatened that he has nine more (to break)! I don't think that's even Badass Beckett! Really scary!! Oi vey! Vinny Cardano from 504 Murder, He Wrote is back! What he told Beckett and Ryan was very useful. Someone made a $10k drop at some dumpster, from Vinny's tip. When Tory, the fabulous IT gal, tapp...

It's Today!

Image
T m inus 21 hours until the Season 7 premiere! I'm that excited! Anyway, I don't think we reached the 300k mark for the gorgeous poster but they still rewarded us with the extended sneak peek.   Mind that this is still heavily edited so as not to fully spoil the first 5-7 minutes of the show. I saw people asking why Beckett was instantly on cop mode. Anyway, Doctor Who ! The episode last Saturday finally answered a question: Will The Doctor behave like Clara's father once he knew that Danny was a soldier? The answer is quite so. But that's perhaps because he doesn't like soldiers in general. Haha! The Caretaker is better than last week's Time Heist , in my opinion. Didn't like that episode much. Dee

Three Days

Image
I'm excited now because in three short days, Castle Season 7 premieres. I will be doing my bullet points again, hopefully after me and my sister watched. Our schedules don't match anymore; she's back in the graveyard shift. We haven't even finished our rewatch and only a few Season 6 episodes remain (because she managed to watch some with me). She's not a humongous fan as I am but she laughs at the right moments - especially with Castle, Ryan, and Esposito - and asks questions. Ooh! Have you seen the sneak peeks? I seriously just want to hug Beckett! Again, when Stana cries, everybody cries. When Stana is in distress, everybody is in distress. That's how great she is. Sneak Peek 1   Sneak Peek 2 Sneak Peek 3 Hopefully, today, we reach that 300k Likes in the gorgeous poster in Facebook to get the extended sneak peek. We're only ~15k away from the goal, as of this writing. I've said that I'm not one for s...

Castle 623 For Better Or Worse Screencaps

Image
I'll just do this as a separate post so I can have more  pictures . Two idiots in love "I'm married?!" STANAAAAA! STAHP!!! ♥ I need to go...over there....and bawl my eyes out. I can't help but tear up when I see this picture now. "Hello, Rogan." New York's finest. ;) "Really?!" Castle fandom's reaction to the cliffhanger "Our wedding was supposed to be magical. It was supposed to be our perfect day and now it's just...falling apart." "It just feels that all of these is just one big sign." - Beckett "...ours is a great love story." "What's a great love story without obstacles to overcome?" "Every fairytale has them." "Terrible trials that only the worthy can transcend. But you can't give up." "We want a happy ending, we can't give up." - Castle "That's why I wanna marry...

Bullet Point: Castle 623 For Better or Worse (Season Finale)

DA FUQ IS THAT CLIFFHANGER?!!!!!!!!!!! I still can't get over the three-year time jump (yes, two weeks!) of Parks and Rec and the fact that next season will be the final one, MilMar wrote this cliffhanger. Nathan, you certainly got us. Emotionally not okay. My first year, my first year watching real-time, and this happens. Oh well, it is Castle. No murders. For once. So Beckett was indeed married because like Phoebe Buffay, she and Rogan most likely believed that if you get married drunk in Vegas, you're married only in Vegas. Her first year at Stanford. So her mum was still alive. This was Rebel Bex. Rogan called her Kit Kat. As we all know, Meredith called Castle, Kitten. The awful wedding dress got ruined by a burst pipe. Yey! The other wedding dress was stunning. It was her mum's. BAMF Beckett. She knows, and has the tool for it, how to break into cars. BAMF Stana as Beckett, hiding under a car so a sheriff won't catch her breaking into a car. [CASTLE C...

Bullet Point: Castle 622 Veritas

Image
OMG! This is a truly great episode! Great job, Rob Hanning and Terrence Paul Winter! Beckett had been doing surveillance on Vulcan Simmons after the events of In the Belly of the Beast and Castle knows about it, that she goes out and about during the wee hours of the morning just to take pictures of Simmons' whereabouts. Lanie trembling when she was t alking to Kate about ballistics match, .40 cal gun, is terrifying. The .40 was registered to Kate, which was in her home, I'm assuming in her apartment. Beckett in tears as she cuffs her mother's murderer is so touching. :') Caskett sharing a phone when someone is talking at the other end. As in, sharing. They could have put it in speaker but no. They want to be close to each other so they share. "For the couple who has everything..." ♥ Badass Beckett is back! Damn! She shoots blindly from behind her and gets her target! Seriously! How the hell?! She has eyes on her back?! x) Oh was she seriously injured...
