It took 7 seasons, but Castle is finally doing a Saturday Night Live like episode called Dead from New York tonight at 10p on ABC.
When Sid Ross (aka Lorne Michaels) is murdered, Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) have to find out who it did. The husband and wife discover that there are as many suspects as there are secrets about his life. As they investigate the crime, the writers of the procedural comedy wrote many funny lines dissing the NBC sketch comedy. Lines that you will find yourself laughing at and thinking they are so right on.
When it comes to the suspects, the first one is the star of the show Mickey Franks (Jaleel White) who is about to get fired from it because he has been acting crazy. Is he crazy enough to kill his boss? Danny Valentine (Gregory Harrison) is like the Steve Martin and has been a friend of Ross’ since before the start of the show. Did something come between them that lead to him killing his buddy? Was it one of the staff? Was it someone from his past? Just when you think you know, there’s a twist that makes you think differently. Will you figure it out before Castle and Beckett or will they beat you to it?
You just have tune in this episode that reminds how truly good this show is as it makes fun of one that isn’t.
On a side note, I know that Fillion signed on for another season, but Katic hasn’t. If she doesn’t put her Hancock on the dotted line, I say it is time to let this show go. Both of them are the show, and without both of them there’s no reason to go on. What do you think?
