Comments on: Frozen Heat proves Castle and Beckett can work as a couple https://cliqueclack.com/p/castle-beckett-frozen-heat/ Big voices. Little censors.

I think Maddie and David had love, but eventually the writers wrote them as a lovey dovey couple while dropping out their core personality facets, and focusing the show increasingly on the relationship and the baby. My biggest fear was that the writers would overtly focus on the Castle/Beckett relationship, but the pilot cured that. Here’s looking for more of that (or better).

I’ll be interested to see what you think about the novels.I haven’t read Heat Wave and planned on buying that in November. A lot of people complained that the Nikki Heat novels weren’t as warm or funny as the TV show. And, they aren’t. If you read a lot of mystery or James PattersonGrisham, it’s written in that vein. It’s basically Castle if it existed in the real world i.e. a loyal core group of colleagues with more questionable politicking ones on the outside. But, I still read them because I like reading about the gang. And I like how smart Heat comes across. And, I like the details. I think the writer(s) did a good job in Frozen Heat and Heat Rises portraying their relationship. I enjoy the novels but based on amazon.com comments, I realizethey aren’t everyone’s cup of tea.

If you really want a novel that Castle would write, try the Derrick Storm ones by Brian Michael Bendis. He’s one of the funniest graphic novelists out there who does a great job mixing the serious with the funny.

Happy reading!

Now that they have faced their feelings for each other this should open up more story ideas not fewer. Everyone talks about the “Moonlighting Curse”. The only curse involved is that the writers of that show weren’t able to answer the question of what comes next. More to the point, Kate and Rick have love, Maddie and David had lust. The little looks that Kate gives when Rick does something fatherly or the admiration that Rick expresses for Kate’s abilities as a detective far out shine the constant door slamming and bickering of Maddie and David. Apples, bricks. Not even a close comparison. On your recommendation, I’ve downloaded the Kindle edition of the first book, Heat Wave. Looking forward to a good read. Thank you.
