Wow! Hope you were able to watch last night’s episode of Castle. It showcased all the many aspects of the Captain/Detective Kate Beckett character played perfectly by Stana Katic that we’ve grown to love and admire over the past 8 Seasons of Castle."Fidelis Ad Mortem" was written by Chad Gomez Creasey and directly by Rob Bowman.

ABC was calling it a "Double Date", 810 on Valentine's Day and 811 on "Castle Monday".  Hope you were able to watch both episodes even though it may not have been live. Tonight should be quite the discussion in the STR Round Table so we'll be skipping the news and the ratings to head straight for the Round Table discussion. 810 "Witness for the Presecution" was written by Terence Paul Winter and directed by Bill Roe. 811 "Dead Red" was written by Jim Adler and directed by Jeannot Szwarc.

After last night’s 2015-16 Fall Finale of #Castle, all anyone needs to say to a Caskett fan is “oh, you guys” and we’re right back in Caskett’s loft agreeing with “Lucy”.  "Mr. and Mrs. Castle" was written by Christine Roum and directed by Jeff Bleckner. After the latest news and a few reminders regarding SFF2016, we’ll revisit the discussion we had back on November 10th STR.   How has your opinion changed, if any, regarding Season 8.  Tonight, we’ll go where the discussion takes us and hopefully you’ll be able to weigh in while PCA voting, repeatedly for:   Stana http://vote.peopleschoice.com/#!/home/all/80/2 … Castle http://vote.peopleschoice.com/#!/home/all/35/2 … Nathan http://vote.peopleschoice.com/#!/home/all/79/2 … *reminder, PCA Voting ends on December 3, 2015 at 11:59PM ET   Photo credit/copyright: Disney | ABC | ABC Studios Promo credit/copyright: Disney | ABC | ABC Studios

If you asked many a #Castle fan what they wished [the most] for Season 8 during this holiday season, your safe bet would be for them to see Caskett back together again as a couple [united their own unique way] and working together again as a team.  Last night’s episode, “The Last Seduction” made quite a huge leap in that fan-wish direction – especially in the last scene – which the episode can be viewed over on www.abc.go.com/castle  in it’s entirety.  “The Last Seduction” was written by Robert Hanning and directed by John Terlesky. #PCA2016 voting is still going!  Please vote often and repeatedly, YOUR votes will make the difference in winning! *Voting ends December 3rd at 11:59PM ET.

[thank YOU in advance]. Something is really starting to heat up on the “LOCKSAT” storyline [off-camera] with Beckett and Vikram on #Castle, what do you think the tiny scraps of info mean that we learned from last night’s episode? “ What Lies Beneath”, written by Barry O’Brien and directed by Larry Shaw.   There’s a lot going on in this episode which means there's a lot to talk about on tonight’s STR Round Table. Here are Elena’s questions for tonight so you can be ready to give YO

Who would have thought we'd be seeing "I Love Lucy" on our timelines for our favorite TV show #Castle? No, it's not a Beckett Replacement. But definitely is giving the "Clark Kent"-ish looking Rick some "food for thought" on his own musings. Hopefully, you watched last night's episode of Castle Season 8, "PhDead" 803 - Written by Chad Gomez Creasey and Directed by Executive Producer Rob Bowman and YOU can join us in tonight's STR Round Table. Season 8 has been some-what of a polarizing Castle Season to many fans and some are still wrapping our minds around the Character-Shake-Ups we’ve “experienced” with them and yet, VERY curious as to where the new Show Runners, Winter/Haley, are taking us all in this new direction for our favorites.            Here are Elena’s questions for you to review before tonight's discussion begins: http://stanatalkradio.com/str-round-table/2015-str-round-table-archive/str-223-100615-s8e03-phdead-recap/   Photo copyright/credit: Castle "PhDead", Disney/ABC/ABC Studios    

WOW!! Who could sleep after last night's #Castle Season 8 Premiere PART 2 episode?! The hour flew by in a flash with so much going on it's a definite rewatch before next week's next Castle episode. We finaly got to see everything last week from Beckett's perspective this week, so what'd ya think?   The episode, entitled "XX", was written by show runners Alexi Hawley & Terence Paul Winter and directed by Paul Holahan. After the latest news tonight, we'll get right to talking all about "XX".  Here are Elena's questions for tonight's STR Round Table: http://stanatalkradio.com/str-round-table/2015-str-round-table-archive/str-222-092915-s8e02-xx-recap/ Photo credit/copyright: Disney|ABC for Castle episode "XX"

What a fun weekend for Stana fans who saw her throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball game Friday night and then we understand she attended the Stanford vs USC College Football game on Saturday. Then last night we all were happy to see her portraying the newly promoted Captain Katherine Beckett in the Season 8 Premiere of #Castle on ABC. After the latest news, the STR Round Table has some thought provoking questions for you to consider. Here they are in advance so you can be thinking about your responses: http://stanatalkradio.com/str-round-table/str-221-092215-s8e01-xy-recap/ You can call STR during the live show at 347.857.4368 or press the blue Skype icon if you are an international live listener.

What’s great about spoiler photos and most teases by the cast and crew is that it makes
