No one does an eye roll like Stana Katic...

It was like that cue ball was possessed or something.

1/2 i was curious as to what your thoughts were on castle and beckett's break up. i've always had my issues with it ( i never finished the show because it was so rough to watch. ) with castle and beckett, castle seemed to have always stood his ground when he had something to say ( e.g. 3x24 & 4x23 ). it was obvious that castle was hurt by beckett wanting a break from their relationship and i hated when castle confronted her and she back tracks and apologies and he just says okay. i had

2/2 really expected so much more from him. i had really wanted them to have a fight over it. they had fights in the past for so much less. i had been a kate fan for a long time and over the years there were times it kind of felt like castle always let becket get away with things with only an i'm sorry. i have been a fan of you over the years and kinda love that you aren't a "stana katic is a saint" fanatic, so would love your opinion on it! i have always been afraid to voice any dislike of kate. So, I've actually been rewatching these episodes and I'd actually argue that he doesn't let her off the hook. There are times throughout the show where Kate does something (like ignoring him for months while she recovered from her shooting) and once she signals to him that she's ready to let Castle back into her life, he goes without complaint or much of a fight. Season 8 is actually somewhat different in that aspect. He's pissed from the time she gets back from her adventure with Vikram (to the point he literally confronts her about why she didn't find a way to get in touch with him as soon as they have the opportunity to be alone). Beckett gives the reasoning that it was too risky and dangerous, and Castle's quick to tell her that it's an excuse and she's hiding behind a case like she used to do with her mother's murder. The only thing he lets her get away with in that conversation is when she brings up the fact he went missing for eight weeks and she trusted him to look into that on his own (which is actually kind of a crappy thing to do because that situation had some marked differences -- namely the fact Castle never insisted on doing it by himself). In the end, he pushes Kate until she agrees to no more secrets, which I've always thought she intended to abide by until Rita shows up and spooks her with her speech about how she's gonna get Castle killed. Once Kate leaves, it's pretty clear that yes, he's hurt, but more so he doesn't understand what is happening. He knows there's something she isn't telling him, but Castle has also been married twice before. And we know, at least with Meredith, she blamed him for their marriage not working out. Though Meredith is an unreliable narrator, she tells Beckett that things didn't work out with Castle because their marriage was a one-way street. Maybe some aspect of that is true, but her response to that was to move across the country and have an affair. With Gina, it seems much more that they were just constantly at odds and making one another miserable by fighting, but even in season three she blames him for being the root of some of those problems because he wouldn't let her into the bubble he created for himself and Alexis. I'm saying all of that to get to this point -- Castle automatically assumes something is wrong, and that's only reinforced by Lanie, Ryan, and Esposito asking him what he did wrong. So he decides the best way to solve the problem isn't to provoke Kate and pin her down to get an answer, but to woo her and hope that romantic gestures will bring her back. Even so, whenever they end up alone, he inevitably asks her what he did for her to leave. And though she tells him each time that it's not on him, and that she still loves him, he knows it's not that simple. And he never ever leaves it alone. At least once an episode through their separation, he brings it up. Maybe it's not directly to her, but he says to someone that he's going to fix it, because he somehow, someway created the problem. In 8x02 Castle tells Kate they've been through so much, and they do better when they tackle things together. I get why Beckett reacts how she does, but I also get why when Castle finds out that he doesn't yell at her. At that point, he's not angry. He's just disappointed. And he knows that it's not on him. This is her battle and her obsession. From 8x10, Mr. and Mrs. Castle: You know what hurts the most? You could have come to me with everything. Broken us up just like you did, only it would have been a cover, and together, in secret, we could've taken this guy down.

Only that thought never even occurred to you because deep down inside, you like being broken, and you need this obsession. And no matter what I do, I can't change that. Only you can, Kate. I mean, in my opinion, that's holding her feet to the fire and holding her accountable. He's not saying it's okay, he's not letting her apologize and then flirt with him. He's saying, you screwed up, you hurt me, you put our marriage at risk, and now I know there's nothing I can do to fix it. More importantly, I think he's saying there's nothing I WILL do to fix it. He loves her way too much to just throw up his hands and say he's done (though I think even Rick Castle has a limit for how much he's willing to take), but he's drawing a line in the sand and making it clear that unless she admits her shortcomings and makes some changes, there's really no hope for them. That's only reinforced by his abrupt exit after Esposito interrupts them. Castle's parting shot is that he knows there's no one better to do the job, but I've always also seen it as subtext that there's nothing Kate would rather do but her job. Where I think the story arc fell short was just letting Kate apologize and wrapping up the episode with a bow. I know why they did it, they were going into a holiday break and wanted to give that storyline a bit of a reset for when the show picked back up, but the better arc would be an episode where Kate has to prove how sorry she is and that she has learned from her mistake and knows that she can't just come back in with an apology and a smile. Leave the audience knowing that reconciliation is coming, but make her work for it just a bit.

Hello! Don't know if you take ask !? ^^ But I'm a bit depressed honestly, in one weekend I lost 2 shows Ouat and Aos they are dead to me, that 'reboot' really doesn't pass :/ and that new Jemma and Leo separation is ridiculous and not tolerable for me :( so I'm sad... I have not much to watch anymore. Do you have something to recommand? I watched the first Absentia, Stana is fucking amazing as always ( ;) ) but I still see Kate lol and it's very angsty ^^' Sorry if I disturb you. :-)

hello nonnie :)

yes of course asks are always welcome!

also feel free to come off anon & we can talk about this even more if you like bc I���d love to :)

anyway, I get your feelings about OUAT & AOS. the reboot doesn’t fit for me either. I didn’t like 7x01 much & I’ll cry my soul out on friday. Jen is everything to me but I’ll still give the new OUAT a chance bc of Colin but I’ll probably rant about it non-stop. But I get why you feel like this about it & you can do whatever you like 😊

With AOS it’s the same. Of course I’d like Fitzsimmons to be not seperated & be happy for once but I still see the great reunion that’s going to come out off this. With how things were going for us lately I’m gonna keep my expectations low for sure but I’m still gonna continue watching. but feel free to quit if you want to that’s all your choice 😊

Absentia is so good & Stana is slaying it for sure but yeah I see her as Kate too. I always will be.

If you watched Castle & I’m sure you did bc you mentioned Kate I’d recommend Lucifer. It has the same vibe as Castle & it’s FUCKING INCREDIBLE. also Stranger Things. but it’s even more angsty than Absentia so I’m not sure it’s something for you? oh & also Criminal Minds. but I’ve a list on my blog & also some shows in my description that I watch so I can recommend them all. but I’d love for you to come off anon so we can even more talk about this 😊

You haven’t disturbed me at all & thanks for the ask.

Castle Season 7 DVD Commentary

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

This is just one reason why she's so awesome

Kate Beckett’s little elephants

HAHA!no. No names on the elephants…here’s where they come from: I have a group of friends from Chile who said that it is a part of the custom in their part of Chile to arrange elephant figurines in a row with a folded $ bill in the first one’s trunk to bring in good luck and fortune.I always think of Beckett as well-travelled… and if she’s not well-travelled, she’s curious about other cultures and customs. I figured adding that to the table would be a great way of personalizing my character’s work space.

( Stana answering a fan asking if the elephants on Beckett’s desk have names - x)

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

Stana made me cry so many times in this episode.

how am I supposed to let go?

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

Stana is always phenomenal, but this episode was like her masterclass. Seriously.

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

Sorry your show doesn't have a Stana

i know him, lanie. he is…an immature, egotistical...self-centered jackass sometimes, but he's not this.

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

There is a reason she was hailed as the shipper queen during the show's original run by fans

STANA: But I’ve also looked for private moments, as an actor, where Castle might not be looking but she can at least show [her feelings].

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

Stana killed us all with this scene

This one hurts 😭💔

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

I love everything about this scene. I love how Espo is such a good friend...like a brother to her. I love how he doesn't patronize her.

And I'm sorry if your show doesn't have a Stana

castle meme [2/9] quotes:

you’re not fine. you’re just trying to act like you are. this is just a tool. it’s a hunk of steel. it has no magical powers and the person that fired it is not some all-powerful god. he’s just a guy, with a gun.

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

Stana broke me so many times in this episode... no one does emotion like her

how am I supposed to let go?

[imzadi-caskett-huddy]

And no one cries like she does...

Sorry your show doesn't have a Stana
