[castle-dominion]

[castle-dominion]

Ryan is silly Esposito is appalled Esposito loves Beckett Becks wants to see Lanie Esposito yells to talk to Ryan & I feel like after the cut they talk abt how to cheer her up. Overall, good scene

c3x1 a deadly affair

I need to check to see if there is a comparison/compilation of the intros. I like how the intro changes season to season.

I initially thought this was a dream. Especially after he went through the door, I thought that maybe the outside wasn’t connected to the inside. Or even better, it would lead to his apartment. & then when they shot at each other I thought this is DEFINITELY a dream

But then *three days earlier* & I’m like “oh no what’s going on? was there someone standing behind beckett?”

jkhkjhdfsald the egg. You surprised him! He dropped the egg : ( Now he needs to clean it up. He looks devastated & she looks lowkey mad. My question is why was he doing it on the VERY EDGE OF HIS DESK WAIT HE JUST PICKS UP ANOTHER EGG? (lmao humpty dumpty crime scene) (Also he’s legit wearing jeans with his suit? I mean I guess when you’re a homicide detective you don’t have work unless there’s a homicide... Castle probably did it with an egg that he boiled on an induction with a magnet at the bottom to get the yolk centred. It’s a gimmick. Though I love a good bit of folklore/urban legend & Esposito whacks him upside the head when Ryan mentions castle  Bro it’s the equinox, officially it is the FIRST DAY of fall. Chill Everyone looking apprehensively (non in a sus way tho) at the phone call, like girl, speak of the devil & he shall appear but speak of castle & who knows? UNLESS EVERY TIME THEY MENTION CASTLE HE REALLY DOES APPEAR IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. They both look so angry that it’s not castle

& then speak of the castle he shall appear: “Hey! It’s Castle!” (cardboard cutout placed in window) KR: I guess he did finish that book... (why isn’t he back yet?) LP: Nice of him to send us a copy (Meet the author ad placed in window) KR, angrily: Looks like he’s back in town. (Why hasn’t he called yet?) JE, angrily: Nice of him to call. KB: Alright guys, you can stop pining for your girlfriend KR & JE: *look to each other in mild confusion & insult* WHY IS CASTLE’S CARDBOARD CUTOUT FOLLOWING HER DFJHJKSDHF She passes by & suddenly looks confused. Camera goes to Castle’s Cardboard Cutout & his eyes are following us. Ryan passes by: ... He really is ruggedly handsome. *shaking head* Mm.

Why did they bring Evan to the crime scene? Not the station? Uh seeing the crime scene probably isn’t good, murdoch blackboard moments!

I noticed it in her hand ^-^ (on the second watch thru tho) 

It’s open & the placed where the doorjambs are look odd. Worn away by time or broken open or smth, I can’t tell Why r they going in quiet instead of yelling “nypd”? I love hand signals, everyone should learn a bit of their local sign language WHOA WHO SHOT THE SHOT Rewatching that slower so I can actually see what’s going on! Ryan was p far away, how did he get that much closer? Ryan turned his gun to the side when he shot I think. ? They all looked so shocked to see that it was castle & Then Castle Looks Equally Shocked RC: I, uh... *turns toward the body while holding the gun* All of them: DOWN DOWN, PUT IT DOWN, GUN, DROP THE GUN, HOLD IT, STOP, DROP THE GUN STUPID, NOW, PUT IT DOWN, DROP IT SLIME BAG Just insulting him, possibly more than usual bc he’s being stupid & he hasn’t called (what a slime bag) She’s so happy she gets to arrest him

So cheeky “did you remodel?” as if it’s her house. But I noticed it too, I like the nice dark blue I like him. “You look good,” he says with a soft smile. KB: You look good too, (she says while smiling) RC: Really? KB: For Murder.

RC, awkwardly: I was going to call you, but then you showed up before I could. (I thought maybe he wanted to see if he could solve the murder on his own.)

Why does she specify “relationships with women” hmm?

RC: Maya knew I had a relationship with you-- ooh *cringe* with the nypd. Bud you DO have those fake cop credentials. You know it’s totally valid to have picked up the gun to defend yourself when you think the killers are coming back. Except who left the gun? RC: That’s when you, Esposito, & Annie Oakley came through the door. (Gestures to the glass, assuming Ryan is there) RM: Annie Oakley? JE: *looks pointedly at ryan* KR: I kind of almost shot castle RM: ???? KR: What? He had a gun. JE: I should have let you shoot him. It would have served him right for not calling. Man it really is like they’re all in a romance.

RM: Beckett. A word? RC: Hey captain! How’s it going? RM: *Looks At Castle Angrily with that Eyebrow* (imo it is NOT because castle is there for murder but because castle didn’t call)

Ok I mentioned the gun earlier, it indeed belonged to the victim. RM: I’m happy to hold him if you like (to get back at him? lmao I love it. Or bc he’s a witness ig.)

Castle: gayly forgets his jacket

She is revealing her hand, she IS mad at him. (we already knew that but she’s letting castle know

RC: turns around JE & KR: watching him angrily like beckett’s buff body guards or older brothers That reminds me, one time my dad was at his friend’s house. Dad & his friend were both six foot, the friend’s dad was even taller & an adult. (this was back when they were teens.) The sister’s boyfriend shows up to pick her up & then there are three huge men standing there with their arms crossed. He was scared dickensless. Never disrespected his gal.

Why is the penguin video edited...??? Very 2010.

Well at least alexis explains: he wasn’t going back until after the book tour. (He could have called to explain that)

Parallels. AC: “He said we’d talk when he got back from europe which he already did” RC: Why don’t you call him? Girl... You Should Have Called.  MR: Have I taught you nothing about relationships? RC: You’re a shining example /s. RC: How big of a deal is this...? AC: Idk if I want to see him anymore RC: *oh hecc I’m in trouble*

Yeah so beckett’s hair doesn’t look as bad as it did on the cover. It isn’t as emo anymore but it also doesn’t look quite so normal white woman.

JE: *rolls back in his chair* If you ask me you should have locked him up just out of spite. (Esposito is my vengeful tendencies come to fruition. He is the catharsis I need to be able to be a normal & respectful person IRL.) KB: No that would be unethical. Making the ppl down in holding deal with him> JE: True. KR: *also rolls back in his chair But Way OverShoots* Hey JE: Catches him & pulls him back* KR: Oua-! JE: *Shakes head, ryan doesn’t even say thanks* (They talk about the case) (They both smile at her, tbh it’s kind of awkward) (Talk about the case) KB: run phones & financials, see if anything pops. KR: *taps her desk* On it *smiles* *scoots away in his chair????????* JE: *just watching him, shakes head slightly with his mouth open* (Holy crap. I thought that rysposito shippers just saw caskett & figured the other two mains needed to be in a relationship. Like you know, you can’t see a piece of media without shipping two men, that phenomenon. But tbh I can see where they are coming from.) (As soon as beckett leaves) JE: RYAN!

RC: Hey L.T.! LT: Hey castle, back on the beat? [...] RC: Mind if I take a look around? *lifts the coffee & snacks* LT: *signals him in & takes the bribe.* It isn’t really bribery, this guy has been here before, we know him,,, right? At least castle wears gloves

LP: Hey! I heard you made an interesting arrest today. Wanna talk about it? KB: ... No. LP: Pk, keep holdingthat stuff in you’re gonna get an ulcer. Her hair is long & straight.

Ooh nice tattoos! My bday is coming up I’d like to get one.

edit: I didn’t get one, sad

(bust into mccutchin’s apartment) JE: LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS! RC: *turns around slowly* Oh, Hi. (chuckles) Castle found standing over two dead bodies! She just backs him up all the way into a vending machine lol RC: I was following up on leads, same as you! KB: Oh so you went into the victim’s phone records & looked for commonalities? RC: No, not exactly KB: Then what?? RC: *doesn’t want to share* KB: *grabs his ear* RC: aaHAHaAAAhAH OK I *69ed I star-six-nine-ed! But how would that work if tech pulled the card? How did castle get the phone? I’m impressed by Castle’s detecting skills! KB: You went to an active crime scene w/o authorization? RC: Well, I wore gloves...

RC: You don’t want to let the universe down, do you?

Apparently when an actor messes up their lines around Molly Quinn (Alexis Castle) & swears about it, they give her a dollar. She’s a teenager, probably swears more than you. Regardless, I think it’s cute.

That’s a strong bet! Holy! I don’t know if that is a good stake. RC: What if they figure it out first? (camera pans to ryan & esposito, both staring at them obviously RC+KB: Nah The boys come over & ask: So what are you two talking about. KB: Castle was just apologizing for not calling The boys: *stare at him with arms crossed.* (explain what they found) RC: The bowrey? KR: Yeah >:( >:( (by which he means: shut it castle we’re still mad at you.) It really is how brothers act when their sister gets scorned.

JE: Maybe the co-signed the loan XD XD girl it was an abnormal loan, not  a bank loan. Altho IG he was joking... Castle: *suggests smth* JE+KR: *slowly turn to look at him, remain silent before answering*

My mom, a good catholic: Knights of Colombus British Colombia?

KR: Hey! *sits down on the same table as castle, pushing him way to the side* KB: *can’t hold back a smile*

Ooh! I could dance to this! You know, even as a trans person I would love to try burlesque. I love performance, I love performing, I bet they have aerial performers too, lyra, silk, hoops, hammock; walking on glass, they obv have jugglers, servers probably wear stilts... this is so cool. Castle is right, the circus with alcohol, how have I not been here?

“the incident”

He doesn’t look a /lot/ like the sculture...

Ew the spinning, it is giving me motion sickness

RC: Just like that cable show Time for six degrees of the Angelina Jolie effect. (Find a show these two worked together on, find a show those two worked together on, oh look it’s the actor who is playing the guy in our show.) (Basically it is a universe where XYZ actor doesn’t exist or looks immensely different)

Hoo! Lanie! I don’t typically look at people’s butts but Lanie!

A sculptor, a vending machine salesman, & a chemistry teacher walk into a burlesque bar.

she used that phrasing on purpose

Love the music. Bon Appetite type drums so close, they in love

Bro money is heavy. It’s like carrying a textbook.

Costume design for Ryan? Top tier. I’ve been loving his patterned collared shirts.

Captions were wrong I think. “move move move” was from tf2 was esposito, “let’s go” might have been ryan, but “come on” was esposito. It might have all been esposito tbh.

I hate usa gun laws but yk for the sake of the show castle should get his license to carry. Then beckett wouldn’t have to illegally give him her gun. (which she has two of?) (btw I watched this before s1 so I didn’t know castle was actually a good shot)

Ah yes, three days later. I love the mirror maze, I love the disembodied voices. The captions are struggling with whose voice is whose tho. Yk I’ve always thought about how they filmed mirror mazes. How did the door open nobody was there? Mirrors showing the door would show whoever is opening it He’d better have the safety of that gun on, running like that. Or if the safety is off then he’d better have his finger beside the trigger not on it. Castle, getting on the ground is probably a good thing. Gives you more stability when you’re shooting the guy. That little “ok?” hand symbol.

Girl you could have said that one of the other detectives was shooting over your shoulder & castle was chasing down a suspect with the other detective. Esposito & Beckett were facing off while Ryan & Castle were running after suspects, esposito shot the fellow behind beckett, not castle, castle never had a gun. That’s the lie you should have told. (Or yk tell the truth & lose your job for breaking the rules idk)

I can’t believe esposito & ryan didn’t bet on whether she would take him back but I do like how esposito was watching in the background & then accuses her: How long before castle did you know this was about counterfetting? 

I love the who/whom, beckett used it earlier this episode I think but I didn’t write it. Or maybe it was yesterday. “He called him” “who called whom”

There were moments in this episode that really made my headcanon that especkett had a thing once solid. He still loves her, no matter what WAY he loves he

GOT ALL THE CLIPS I NEEDED YAY
