TV GUIDE: The Monday Playlist: Bones Gets Shot, So It Must Be Sweeps

Feb 11, 2013
by Matt Roush


... This week's Ask Matt column fields a complaint from a fan of ABC's Castle who feels the show hasn't done enough with the Beckett-Castle romance lately. Maybe this week's Valentine's-themed episode (10:01/9:01c) will remedy that. As the team investigates the murder of a Real Housewives-style reality star, Castle scrambles to give Beckett a Valentine's memento on their first holiday as an official couple...

TV GUIDE: The Monday Playlist: Bones Gets Shot, So It Must Be Sweeps

Feb 11, 2013
by Matt Roush


Soul searching doesn't come easily for a character as clinical, rational and emotionally aloof as Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel), but near-death experiences have a way of waking people up to what's important in life. Doesn't hurt that this is a Big Sweeps Month dictating Big Stunts on long-running shows, an opportunity for Fox's Bones (8/7c) to try its latest change of pace: a mystical trip into a heaven-like netherworld for this non-believer, prompted by a shooting in the lab that leaves Bones fighting for life.

With a fretful Booth (David Boreanaz) at her side, regretting their recent fight where he lit into her for not being spontaneous enough, Bones spiritually reunites with her late mother (Melrose Place's Brooke Langton) for an awakening about why it is that she favors scientific analysis over impulse and emotion. Dr. Brennan has earned her Hallmark moment, I suppose, but even better news is that the mystery behind her shooting, and why no bullet or exit wound can be found, is one of Bones' best forensic puzzles in quite some while. I kept itching to get outside of Bones' head for more clues to the how-done-it...

A Daily Guide To Notable Shows


... Castle

10:01-11 PM ABC


Since hooking up with Beckett (Stana Katic) in last season's shipper-baiting finale, Nathan Fillion's Castle has burned copious extra gallons of his smooth-winking, half- cocked-smile charm to make sure Castle doesn't cascade off the Moonlighting cliff. Between Castle's insistence that Valentine's Day gift-giving is a competitive sport and his popcorn-chomping obsession with the pseudo-Housewives shoutfest The Wives of Wall Street, Fillion's easy lovability elevates an otherwise ho-hum murder case wherein a reality-show star literally gets stabbed in the back.

RATING: B+

A list of can't-miss hot shows, undiscovered gems and fan favorites


... Castle

MONDAY 10 PM on ABC


Castle and Beckett stop being polite and start getting real when a young reality TV star turns up dead and they go behind the scenes to find out who’s responsible. If it’s anything like the reality shows we watch, pretty much everyone is capable of murdering everyone else at any given time. The case throws a kink in the pair’s Valentine’s Day plans, though, as Castle’s romantic gesture goes horribly awry.

... Question: There has been a lot of talk online recently about the lack of commitment the Castle writers seem to have in the Castle and Beckett relationship this season. Yes, they're together, but they're written as though they don't interact outside of work and any contact between them is incredibly chaste and brief. This is especially true in the last few episodes. The show seems to have shifted focus to periphery characters more and is giving more attention to the cases rather than the personal lives of both Castle and Beckett than ever before. Do you think this is reflecting Andrew Marlowe's fear of losing viewers? ABC's? Is there a reason for this? And now spoilers released for upcoming episodes continue to focus on Alexis and story lines that don't involve Castle and Beckett as a couple, or when they do involve them as a couple it's only in regard to a problem their relationship has. There has been no honeymoon phase to their relationship, if anything it feels like the relationship went from new to old married couple really quickly. Any thoughts on why this might be? More people each week are growing uninterested with the way the show is going, and though I'm a huge fan, I can't help but share that disappointment. Thanks. — Kate


Matt Roush: There's no way to answer this kind of question in a way to satisfy the hardcore fan, because what I see, as a casual but hardly obsessive viewer of the show, is the latest example of how there's simply no way to please everybody. The writers not committed to Castle and Beckett? Castle finally put its main two characters together romantically, which was a big win for the fans, and early on this season it leaned heavily on relationship stories and twists to capitalize on that, but now it seems the show hasn't changed enough to satisfy the most ardent "shippers" (and online griping only tends to fan those flames). It's back to a more traditional, quirky case-of-the-week format, which entails being a mystery series with a relationship at its core, rather than being a relationship series that solves mysteries on the side. Because of the need to fill a long 24-episode season, and occasionally give some of the rest of the underused ensemble something to do, it's inevitable that some episodes would veer from the personal stuff, even at the risk of being called out as ordinary or frustrating to those who'd rather this now be exclusively a Nick-and-Nora kind of show. I imagine there are more milestones ahead for this couple, and when that happens, those episodes should feel special. Which might be more difficult if every week dwelled at length on this aspect of the show. But this criticism, which I don't really disagree with, doesn't surprise me. And I bet the producers saw it coming as well...
