Castle

from A to Z.

Unfortunately, I don't own this series. If I did, I would know what happens next and I wouldn't have to spend time writing this sort of list...Probably best that I don't own it, then. Read, enjoy and let me know...

A for Author

What makes the living for our hero and some of his friends.

B for Best-seller

The definition of Castle's works. What else ?

C for Crime

Field of heart for our author and job to his partner.

D for Driven

Powerful motives drive our characters, all of them. Is what makes the story.

Applies to Castle a lot more, as Kate would not let him drive a police car.

E for Ending

To bring appropriate closure to the relatives. Apparently, Castle is a sucker for happy ones.

F for FBI

Unnecessary joint. Secretive, authoritative. But impressive.

G for Gaze

The eyes tell so much and theirs are telling loads. Keep watching.

H for Heat

Surname to Castle's new female character. Offers possible and significant puns to his titles. Might also describe the tension building between Beckett and Castle. Anyway, he wouldn't change it for the world... « artistic integrity », that is. Or loads of opportunities to tease Beckett...What do you say ?

I for Innuendos

Puns and preliminaries across the twelfth section between Kate and Castle. Copyrighted to Castle, by the way. Kate would receive an award for the best cutting-off of this year...

J for Judge

Compulsory supporter to Kate Beckett to get warrants. Supreme authority, most of the time.

K for Karma

According to the chief curator for Antiques, the killer concept to his colleague. We now know that he was a bit bigger than life then. Karma in flesh...

L for Law

Kate lives to enforce it when Castle likes to subvert or break it.

M for Mother

Most important figure as much for Rick (who has his at home) as for Kate (who lost hers).

N for New York.

The city frame. Home.

O for Obsession

Qualifies for most bad guys in « Castle ». The top frightening obsession being the one for Nikki Heat, which leads the frenzied fan to go after Kate.

P for Poker

Castle rules. It seems, Kate too. But she didn't get a real chance at showing her best poker skills as the third season is about to begin.

Q for Query

The art of investigation. High masters : Castle, Beckett, Esposito and Ryan. The NYPD finest. The Incredible four.

R for Reviews

Numerous and mostly appraising. Except for the Syracuse Times Reviewer (But Martha spent a whole afternoon finding that one...)

*Reviews keep us grounded. ( Ground ? Not always, Castle. Good reviews are...good.)

Oh, by the way, he warmly recommends for you to review this piece of work.

S for Story

Most important detail. Which throws our « favorite author » into variably intense fits of joyous appreciation when it unveils.

T for Theories

Castle's : hyperbolic, irritating, preposterous, absurd, nonsense. Mostly right.

U for University

Alexis' future in Oxford or Princeton. Castle has to let go.

V for Violent

The murderous routine of Kate Beckett. Totally absent at Castle's, though not in his books.

W for Writing.

Castle's weapon of choice.

X for X-rated

Most scenes from the books, most dialogue with Kate to Kate and the entire episode « mistress always spanks twice » might go under that rate to most of them over-puritans out there (oh, come on ; it's fun...MPAA-rated).

Y for Yellow.

Unmatched color of the third victim's dress in the pilot. Important clue to rethinking the investigation. Man, mistaking yellow for blue ; that killer had a serious sight disease.

Z for Zoo

New family tradition for Sundays after the unfortunate episode of the mummy's curse at the museum. Alexis is understanding.
