GREY’S/CASTLE CROSSOVER JUST SO MEREDITH CAN TELL CASTLE THIS. GAHHHHH.

(disclaimer- i don’t really want a crossover. that would be awful.)
So as a member of the ABC Studio Advisory Panel, I get to participate in a live session with Laurie Zaks (executive producer of Castle) and Molly Quinn (Alexis Castle). They’re accepting question submissions in advance. Anyone have anything they want me to ask? Reblog or inbox me!
My reading for my Race and Gender class had the phrase “aesthetic heat”. I immediately thought that that would be a horrible name for the new Nikki Heat book. Can Castle premiere now please?


I pretty much love it when they wear the vests.
I made my family watch the finale with me and while I was overreacting to every scene (I threw a pillow at one point. almost hit a lamp…) my dad was just sitting there silent. The only thing he said through the entire episode was, “Oh my god - he has a vest that says writer?” Then he laughed. I think my dad secretly likes the show. He does “feed the birds” more than anyone else in my family.
I’m starting to really get discouraged. I know the show is about their dynamic together and not just about them being a couple but I feel like next season is going to add A LOT of strain to their relationship. I feel like this will have them losing the spark, the banter, the sexual tension rather quickly. We didn’t deal with the kiss. We didn’t deal with the fact that they almost died together multiple times. Now he said I love you and Marlowe says that they’re not going to deal with that in the way the fans want them to. Also he is going to have information about her mother’s case that she doesn’t which will add stress to the relationship because he will be trying to protect her when she believe she is not his to protect. On top of that, they’re going to throw in a boss that doesn’t approve of their relationship AND Josh is still in the picture. (All of this comes from an interview with Marlowe. I’m not just pulling this out of thin air.) He says that he feels that TV fans like to be frustrated and that he is building a great love story and it needs to feel like a hero story and I get that but he has to give us something. They’ve almost died together multiple times. They’ve saved each other. They’ve been on the brink of admitting their feelings multiple times. Hell - they even kissed once. BUT he CONSISTENTLY gives us nothing. And now when they will put that much strain on the relationship I feel like they’ll just be fighting a lot and that might lose me. I’m sorry I just can’t go on watching like 42 minutes of intense fighting to be redeemed by one minute of eye contact that “resolves” it because they “don’t have to use words”. No. I just can’t Mr. Marlowe. So please figure out the direction of this over the next few months because you’re gonna have to do a little better than what you’re looking at right now.

I love you, Kate.
I feel like this got overshadowed by everything else for me. I’m just realizing now that he said it out loud and she heard him. But I kinda feel cheated because Andrew Marlowe said they would be on the same page at the end of the episode and I feel like he’s not the one we had to worry about it. Every one knew how he felt. He just never said it out loud. She’s the one in the other relationship. She’s the one who won’t say it. She’s the one holding back. So they’re really not on the same page… Unless she has some near death experience thing and embraces it. Another observation… is Josh even still in the picture? Because wouldn’t he have been at the funeral? I know she doesn’t let him in much but there’s no way he wouldn’t know about this. And he then would have come running to her side since he is the boyfriend and the doctor… Soooo what’s going on Marlowe?
One of my Twitter followers pointed this out to me… The last seconds of this scene… Like the very last seconds - he looks down and almost takes of breath of relief?!
