In last night’s episode of Castle we saw a giddy Rick get the opportunity to live out some of his childhood fantasies and hang with a few of his Action Hero idols. Throughout the episode we were also given the chance to be right there along side Beckett while she packed up her treasures and said goodbye to her apartment, her home, for so many Castle episodes/seasons. This home held so many emotional memories for her and the audience that it was nice to be able to see Beckett embrace her memories and be hopeful for her future in her new home with Rick Castle. “Last Action Hero” was written by Christine Roum and directed by Paul Holahan.

Last night's intense episode of #Castle pulled us into the middle of all the action right from the very beginning. This was an opportunity for supporting actor Jon Huertas, playing Detective Javier Esposito, to shine and boy did he! Hope you caught this fast paced episode that will have you on the edge of your seat in that subway car right across from him ancious to see what will happen next.  "Kill Switch" was written by David Amann and directed by Jeannot Szwarc. After the lastest news and the ratings, we'll open up the STR Round Table discussion encouraging YOU to share your thoughts on last night's episode and performances.

Yee-Haw! Hope you were able to watch last night's FUN episode of #Castle, "Once Upon A Time In the West" ~ written by Terence Paul Winter and directed by Alrick Riley. It was pure knee slappin' fun to watch Nathan Fillion "do his thing" while Stana stunned us all with her incredibly HOT western cowgirl style all the way down to her chap loving, rope tote-n, sharp shootin' talented self. Stana is incredible in soooo many ways! If you haven't watch this episode, stop and watch it now. It has several references to the westerns we've all grown up watching in the past and you might not even realize an entire hour has past. Tonight's STR Round table questions Elena have been posted for you here, hope you'll be able to take a break to join us: http://stanatalkradio.com/str-round-table/str-195-once-upon-a-time-in-the-west-recap-s7e7/   Photo credit/copyright[above, in BTR random order]: ABC Studios/Network    

FINALLY!! YES!! It IS Mr. and Mrs. #Castle!! 706 "The Time Of Our Lives" was written by Terri Edda Miller and directed by Paul Holahan. With deliberate nods to so many previous seasons episodes in this alternate universe [AU], it was no surprise #CaskettAtLast was the World Wide and USA trend on twitter for hours and continued even after the episode aired on the west coast. Here are Elena's questions for the STR Round table to get your thoughts percolating: http://stanatalkradio.com/str-round-table/str-194-111114-s7e6-time-of-our-lives-recap/   Photo credit/copyright[above, in BTR random order]: ABC Studios/Network  

If you ever had a "second thought" over posting something on Social Media, last night's episode exploited ALL of your fears to the max in this 5th Episode of #Castle, "Meme is Murder" ~ written by Jim Adler and directed by Bill Roe.  We tend to forget the faux pas's we may have made in the past and could now be an embarrassment to us or even how a tackless remark perhaps made in haste inappropriately could come back to haunt us.  This may be why last night's episode discussion has spilled over into today and may have made an even bigger impact on the Castle audience than the writer's, cast and crew of Castle may have expected. After the latest news and encouragement to VOTE for Stana, we'll discuss "Meme is Murder".

Hello! How are YOU doing since the Season 6 Finale episode of Castle, “For Better or Worse”? Have you rewatched the episode again [or perhaps several times] to see if there are other clues or a change in your perspective? Last week’s STR was 3 Hours long and there was so much more to discuss so we knew there’d be a PART 2 Recap for “For Better or Worse” which was written by Andrew W. Marlowe & Terri Edda Miller [MilMar] and directed by John Terlesky. Thank YOU to all the callers from last week for your patience and for sharing your genuine respectful thoughts about this episode and we hope you'll be joining us again tonight to give more time for your thoughts.

Scrabble?! What a creative way for first time #Castle writter Jim Adler to add a funny/intelligent twist to the Caskett relationship in "Law and Boarder". We also understand from Jim's tweet "shout out" to Terri Miller and Dara Creasey that we have them to thank for the scrabble/stip poker idea. This episode was directed by Tom Wright who has directed several funny and dramatic critical episodes of Castle.
