Kate Meets Castle's Dad
James Brolin returns as Jackson Hunt, the estranged dad of Rick Castle (Nathan Fillion), on the Jan. 13 episode of ABC's Castle. He meets his son's fiancée, Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), but for most of the episode, she's unaware that the CIA operative is her future father-in-law (he keeps his identity secret to protect his undercover work). "That introduction comes later and is far more awkward," says Fillion.
"[Beckett] has a big question about Jackson's true motives," says Katic. "He's not all that he seems." Blame that on Brolin, who agreed to reprise the role only if Jackson turned darker. "I wanted viewers to find out how deadly he is," Brolin says. "He gets a thrill out of terminating people who deserve it. The thrill is there, with no feeling of remorse." To make matters worse, Jackson "talks down to his son like he's 5 years old," says Brolin, "and is very attracted to Kate. That's the kind of a--hole he is." Hunt also comes face-to-face with Castle's mom, Martha, for the first time since their long-ago tryst.

Where is January? I want this episode like NOW! So many scenario in my head right now
ReplyDeleteHunt is attracted to Kate and treats Rick like a 5 year-old, sounds like an episode I need to see NOW! It's not that I want to rush through Christmas but I want new Castle episodes today! Non-Castle Mondays are BORING!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for the birth of Ryan's baby! LOL at Kate and Lanie helping with the delivery.
ReplyDeleteWow - that is a lot of juice for one episode! Sounds like it's going to be, well... epic.
ReplyDeleteThese episodes sound great.
ReplyDeleteI already can see Stana's faces during the delivery! I'm gonna laugh my ass off!
ReplyDeleteBrolin sounds amazing and it should be awesome to see a jealous Castle if he picks up on dad being attracted to Kate....WOW.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one interested in the face-to-face between The Hunt and Martha?
ReplyDeleteAnna no no I think that will be worth its weight in gold. Martha will handle him like no other
ReplyDeleteAt least that's what I hope :D
ReplyDeleteNope, you're not the only one! I cannot wait for this either! :D
ReplyDeletegreat sounding episodes and its really not that long to wait (or so I try convince myself)
ReplyDeleteI think each episode is set up to highlight some great nuggets of information about the characters and the relationships. I think these episodes are only going to keep helping Castle gain in strength as it has done for the first half of the season.
Do we know how many episodes the seasons going to be, is it 22/24?
lol being attracted to Kate is not news. Stana Katic is gorgeous, I just automatically assume that any man standing near her is attracted to her.
ReplyDeleteNope, I wanna see that too.
ReplyDeleteAll those episodes look very interesting! I´m looking forward to them:)
