CASTLE: THREE TEASES FROM EP ANDREW MARLOWE!
One of my favorite things about Spoiler Room is that I get a chance to preview for you a lot of the fun things to come here on InsideTV, and heres yet another: Yesterday, I hopped on the phone with Castle EP Andrew Marlowe, who talked about the second half of the season. And while you can expect a full report on our chat over the next few days (good stuff!), here are three bits Ive pulled to entice you for the time being!
+ Another kiss coming?
As one of you pointed out in an e-mail to me, last January, fans were treated to a kiss between Castle and Beckett. So, I posed the factoid to the ever-coy Marlowe, while shamelessly fishing to see if there was something coming up to be equally excited about. I think we can be treated to something, if not at that level, close to that level in terms of movement and complication, he teases.
+ Another high-stakes two-parter!
One of my favorite episodes of Castle last season was the two-part dirty bomb episode that guest-starred Heroes alum Adrian Pasdar. This season, Jennifer Beals will guest in another two-parter as a CIA agent (with ties to Castle!) who will allow the writers to do storytelling on a grand scale. We have some folks here who spent some time in features and we want to try to bring that movie mentality to TV as best we can, he says. I think it will be as explosive as last season. Certainly, Ill say, we were dealing with a dirty bomb so explosive is a good word for last season. This one will be equally high stakes.
+ Finale planning in progress
Last seasons Castle finale was, for yours truly, the best episode of the series. So how does one top that? Simple: You dont. You try to do something different, clarifies Marlowe. If youre doing the same thing, only better, it still gets a little bit familiar. We always like to keep the audience a little bit on their toes, so were conceiving the last couple of episodes what can we do thats really compelling in a way we havent explored on the show yet?
