About Last Night…CASTLE, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, HOUSE and More
November 1, 2011 by Marisa Roffman
Monday night may have been Halloween, but for TV nerds, there were some really good options on our screens.
Let’s talk Monday TV!
CASTLE was the final thing I watched Monday night, but I’m starting with it here, because holy moly what an episode. I loved the break from our traditional cases — there was no gruesome murder that took top priority (though we did get an icky body during the course of the investigation) and we got to deal with all of the characters out of their elements. For me, it was one of the best episodes the series has done, so I’m really curious to hear if you guys agree with me on that.
Katie Holmes singing “One Week” made me laugh entirely too hard on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Of course we knew that her Slutty Pumpkin wouldn’t find everlasting love with Ted, but at least they were both miserable during their brief relationship after all those years of expectations. It would have been bad if there was a one-sided infatuation. Oh, and Robin and Barney, will you two crazy kids work it out already? Now you even have Canada in common!
I watched TERRA NOVA last night, but it seems to have fallen into that dangerous category in my brain — I’ll watch the entire thing and then everything I saw leaves my mind the second the next show comes on. The episode was fine enough, I enjoy the dinosaurs, but it’s not compelling me the way I feel it should.
HOUSE is in this weird state of limbo, because I feel like I should remain detached towards the team dynamics until Chase and Taub return and we get a real feel for what the season will be like. I do adore Michael Nouri, though, so I loved seeing him as the patient of the week.

Castle was perfection last night! Sooooo good!
Castle was so good! Definitely one of my favorite episodes the show has ever done! I mean that scene between Beckett and Castle in the bank when she comes to save him was brilliantly acted by Stana Katic 😀
Castle just keeps getting better and better!
I agree with Marisa and all of your smart gmmrtv commenters…Castle was amazing and one of, not only my favourite episodes, but the best episodes of the series! Andrew Marlowe is pure genius.
Curious though, do you think that the show runners expected their to be one less new episode at this point in the season? Correct me if I’m wrong but we’ve had nothing but new episodes since the premiere and I would have thought that they’d have wanted last week’s “Haunting” to actually air on Halloween and this one to air later in November for sweeps. Just curious if ABC changed things because the ratings are so good…still so happy we didn’t have to wait for last night’s epicness and can hardly wait for next week’s episode…huh-uh! 😉
Loved Castle. I always like good writing, and sometimes I arrive at the solution before Castle and Beckett, but not Monday night. That was well written. The looks between Castle and Beckett are showing more than their usual connection. I loved Beckett having to control her emotions in order to be an effective cop in a situation where Castle was in mortal danger. Great twist with the epileptic hostage. Never saw that coming. Good job!
