Rar, you certainly bring up some good points. Castle is far from alone in doing wrong in this situation. Alexis and Pi were very inconsiderate. And the writers have done nothing to make Pi anything but a caricature and therefore a plot devise we don't care about. That may be part of why we don't get Alexis' attachment to him - we don't know him and neither does Castle.<br /><br />However, Castle's behavior was completely over the line at the dinner in this week's episode.<br /><br />Irene, when I was writing my recap the day after watching the episode, I'd forgotten the coins were still sealed in the coffin like thing when Castle and Beckett found them. That's a very good point. That would explain why the cousin hadn't tried to grab them, thereby getting trapped in the room with the dead body.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-42320817079807381372013-10-31T18:28:03.678-07:002013-10-31T18:28:03.678-07:00rar - I agree with you completely and it's ver...rar - I agree with you completely and it's very well put. I've been thinking the exact same thing but you have expressed it well. I am a Mother with a daughter and maybe that is why we are coming at it the way we are!<br /><br />With regards to the cousin not taking the money. I think he knew where it was - in the coffin (or whatever you call that thing), but remember Castle saw that someone had tried to pry it open but was unsuccessful. And if he had lifted the coins to remove them, then he would have been trapped inside like Beckett and Castle ended up. I guess he figured he could go back to figure it out when everything died down.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286032807894115704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-82816266812746447932013-10-31T10:30:35.986-07:002013-10-31T10:30:35.986-07:00I think a lot of my comments are coming from the f...I think a lot of my comments are coming from the father of a daughter, but here we go:<br />I am not a fan at all of Pi. They spend 5 years building this character of a smart intelligent teenager and seemed to have thrown it all out the window. I can accept that she is into Pi, it comes with parent territory that she striked differently when choosing a rebel boyfriend and I probably would not have been so visually insulting to Pi during dinner. <br />I actually got mad at that speech from her at the end. The relationships of Becket/Castle and Alexis/Pi are not something I would compare from a father perspective at all. Regardless of the jokes, Castle raised Alexis, not the other way around, his vested interest in her relationship vastly outweighs hers. Brutal but there it is.<br />She then scolds Castle on not making any effort to know/respect Pi. She should look in the mirror and at Pi before making any accusation like that. <br />1. Alexis comes home with a boy (unemployed) to sleep in his fathers house, wthout asking permission (who pays the bills again)<br />2. Pi makes 0 effort to sway castle, by forcing him to his eating standards instead of letting castle go with his.<br />3. Pi has a complete disrespect for Castle, barging into his room half naked while in bed with Becket to take something he has The mom can do that but Pi is not family, that right is not his to take advantage of.<br />4. He makes no effort to be tidy at all.<br />These are things that Alexis should (be blamed for) immediatly correct as far as respect goes IN GENERAL PRINCIPAL. You live in someones house for free, you leave the LEAST footprint possible.<br /><br />Yes its a TV show, and yes my opinion is skewed (im a dad to daughter). But its show investment. THe Castle writers have taken me somewhere with ese characters. THey have told me that Alexis is smart, intelligent, respectful. SHe said it herself, she is the adult in the family. Yet still they COMPLETELY threw that concept they spent 5 years building all out the window. As far as I know her character is not a teenager anymore so she does not even have that excuse anymore.<br /><br />Your thoughts? Too much?rarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00939862392019526271noreply@blogger.com
