I know we did a top 10 episodes slide-show for Castle about six months ago and it probably feels like it is too soon to be thinking about doing another. However, I think we can all agree that since then we have had some pretty great episodes that deserve a chance to make it into the top 10, particularly the last stretch of season 3.
As September slowly approaches - and with it the 2011 Fall Season, when all our favorite shows will be returning - we need something to tide us over these next few weeks. And what better way than to discuss the very best Castle episodes to date, especially after that mind blowing season 3 finale.
It was no easy feat choosing only ten episodes out of three seasons. Keep in mind that this is my personal opinion, so please feel free to agree or disagree - and argue your case - in the comments below. Since we still have a little over a month until the season 4 premiere, I thought we could discuss an aspect of the show each week to help us endure the rest of this never ending hiatus. So it is up to you guys to let me know what you want to talk about for the next few weeks.
What do you think?
Check out the top 10 episodes in the gallery below.
here is mine (in no particular order.you know it's extremely hard to have order right?)
1 Knockout
2 Pretty dead
3 Nikki heat
4 Anatomy of a murder
5 A deadly affair
6 A deadly game
7 Wrapped up in death
8 tick tick tick
9 double down
10 a death in the family
ohh, is it ok for extended list? cos actually there are vampire weekend, fool me once, home is where the heart stops, a chill goes through her veins, flowers for your grave, lucky stiff, the mistress always spanks twice, little girl lost, deep in death and the fifth bullet in my list. so top 20 for me! (I would be more than willing to extend, but well, too greedy hehe)
First off, 3×24 Knockdown is by no means the best ep, in fact it’s the worst so far, IMO. Nonsensical, incoherent, pathetic. And silly-soap-like tricking-into-emotion with some sorta Dying Declaration Of Love (or The »Kiss« in 3×13 Knockdown) is far from being enough to magically turn a bunch of random clichés into an actual TV-show-ep, let alone a Top-10-ep.
My Top 11, impromptu…
#11 2×16 The Mistress Always Spanks Twice
#10 1×01 Flowers For Your Grave
#09 1×06 Always Buy Retail
#08 2×23 Overkill
#07 2×12 A Rose For Everafter
#06 2×04 Fool Me Once
#05 3×11 Nikki Heat
#04 1×07 Home Is Where The Heart Stops
#03 2×05 When The Bough Breaks
#02 1×05 A Chill Goes Through Her Veins
#01 3×12 Poof! You're Dead
honorable mention
2×17 & 2×18 Tick, Tick, Tick… Boom! /kinda first glimpse of Kate & Rick living together :)
3×15 The Final Nail /somewhat more serious S3-ep without! over-the-top drama
3×22 To Love and Die in LA /great but wasted potential, should’ve been the two-parter instead of the nuke-nonsense
