Castle - "Lucky Stiff"

"Lucky Stiff" is the first new episode of Castle since we had the kiss in "Knockdown." The kiss clearly had some kind of impact on Castle, so going into "Lucky Stiff" I was most curious to see how the dynamic between Castle and Beckett was going to play out.

It's interesting. For the most part, they're clearly choosing to ignore the kiss. But, something has shifted. It's subtle, which makes me wonder whether it's Nathan Fillion bringing his own bit of character development to the episode, or whther it's something that was scripted.

Star Wars had nothing to do with it

I stumbled onto this article the other day. "Shoulda Been Bigger: How Star Wars Killed Babylon 5." It posits that science fiction fans were so wrapped up in the Star Wars prequels that they had no attention left to spend on science fiction television like Babylon 5. And that in a world with no Star Wars prequels, presumably, Babylon 5 would have launched into a hugely successful franchise.

I call bullshit.
