A Time Travel episode? Rick Castle is gonna love THIS!! It's fun reading the Castle writers comments such as @chadgcreasey tweeting about MilMar and how "Time Will Tell" is a new "Castle Classic" episode for this season.  Can't wait to see it!! "Time Will Tell" was written by MilMar [Executive Producers Terri Edda Miller with husband/showrunner Andrew W. Marlowe] and directed by Executive Producer Rob Bowman. For those in Canada, enjoy on Sunday night and in the U.S., be sure to watch and tweet Monday night at 10|9c on ABC. On the STR Round Table, Elena will have her discussion questions posted on stanatalkradio.com just prior to tonight's show time so you can be thinking of how you would like to share with everyone your thoughts.

If you are a Stana Katic fan, you are thrilled with all of the opportunites to see Stana again this next week!  Monday, October 7th, Stana is scheduled to be on 'Good Morning America' and then as #Beckett in the third episode of Castle Season 6 [which was shown at Paley Center for Media to the fans last week] entitled "Need To Know". Tuesday, October 8th, Stana is scheduled to be on 'The Chew' and we'll get to see her "in the kitchen" with Carla Hall. Tuesday night is the NYC Premiere of 'CBGB The Movie' and she is scheduled to walk the red carpet. Gotta love those "Stana Tuesdays" ;) So, if you are in the NYC area and have the opportunity to see Stana in person, let us know about your fun experience. Stana fans are always thrilled to hear about other Stana fans interactions and enjoy fan-girling right along with you. On tonight's special Thursday night show, we'll review all of these FANtastic opportunities and have a recap discussion during the STR Round table of the Castle episode written by Elizabeth

Incredible! That is the best way to describe the past week in Los Angeles for the STR team.  Tonight we'll share with you our visit last Friday to CHLA and the joy you brought to this wonderful group of caregivers. Presenting your $2,000 check for the Literally Healing program was an amazing experience. Most of you were able to see/hear #Castle panel at 'Paley Center for Media" LIVE on Monday night right along with us. So,  we'll just share our fun experiences outside prior to the event. Think you might enjoy hearing how we eluded "zip tie cuffs"! Just before the STR Round Table we'll take you through our fan experience on the red carpet  attending the CBGB Premiere in Hollywood. Miah had a bird's eye view to see everything and everyone. The STR Round Table tonight will be focused on "Dreamworld" and not "Need To Know".. So, you might want to catch a quick rewatch before STR tonight to refresh your memory.  Hope to "see" you tonight.. it seems like for-ev-er since we've talked.   Photo copyright/credit[

She said YES!!! #Beckett said YES to #Castle's proposal of marriage.. and also said YES to a FED career opportunity in Washington D.C. WOW!! but.. How's this gonna work?

WHO can somehow make us want something we [the audience] didn’t even know we wanted? WHAT can compel us to think/feel.. all the while taking us along a journey without even leaving our home? WHEN can we root for some thing/one from our very core with sincere emotion all without even personally being involved? WHERE do motives, back stories, complex complicated circumstances have us willing to endure twists and turns only to careen down valleys and scale the highest of highs via our minds and hearts? HOW can we be soooo enamored and identify with a vast array of fictitious characters? WHY… it’s a “Story”, images of “Storytelling”, written by a creative “StoryTELLER”, a WRITER! Tonight’s STR special guest is one of Castle’s newest members to their writing team, Dara Creasey!  She will literally be putting words in Stana’s mouth as Kate Beckett in Season 6 and will no doubt continue to take us on this FANtastic “Castle” journey we love so much. We'll be asking Dara some questions first during our interview and

On Saturday, August 10th, at 2:00/9:00 PM ET we rewatched "For Lovers Only" and "How We Made Love" back~to~back. Hopefully, you purchased your copy of #HWML to add to your Stana Katic collection. If not, you can purchase it here for just a few dollars: www.chill.com Our rewatch together was slightly different since we now have the opportunity to see the "Behind the Scenes" of the Polish Brothers' [Mark, the author and costar with Michael, the director] perspective on how they created this beautiful film along with nice and interesting "tid bits" from #Stana and the crew BTS that helped create this love story. On tonight's scheduled STR show, we'll re-discuss #FLO and how YOU feel about this film 2 years later with the accompanying  #HWML video.  This should ease the wait a bit for Stana to return again as Kate #Beckett in #Castle over the long summer.

How's YOUR summer going? As promised, tonight we will give YOU the chance to tell everyone YOUR speculations for Caskett Season 6 of Castle tonight. In August, we'll still have our annual "Spoil Me STR" show and talk 100% spoilers. However, tonight we want to talk about your thoughts and wishes for Season 6 while trying to curb the urge to tell everyone everything fans may have found out from watching filming on location. Everyone has had plenty of time to think about the Castle Season 5 Finale and all the circumstances building up to Beckett's decision and then the surprise of Castle's proposal. It's half way through the show's summer break so after a few news items let's sit back, relax and talk about it.. shall we? Hope you can join us!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Tonight is another quick “News only” STR show in an attempt to try to keep up on what news has been accumulating over the past couple of weeks. Hopefully also, everyone has purchased your very own copy of “How We Made Love” via www.chill.com which is an excellent accompaniment for “For Lovers Only” ~ which is still available for download via your virtual store to your viewing device.  Your purchase of this video directly benefits the creators. And for Castle, we can all start looking forward to Season 6 and the continual evolution of our favorite cast of characters with our discussion NEXT week [July 23] show. "See" YOU then!

Tonight should be a SUPER night all around. Hopefully you have purchased "Superman:Unbound" and have watched it by tonight's STR Round table. Hope you can join us for some more summer fun!

Oh, and the SUPERStana Tshirt was designed and created by @MindyD1013 :) Stana fans are THE best!

Hopefully everyone has watched "Watershed" by now and may have some second thoughts after multiple viewings of the Season 5 Finale of #Castle.  Please rewatch the episode by tonight's show and Elena will post the questions in advance on our web site: www.stanatalkradio.com under "STR Round Table". We listened to your positive and constructive feedback and might be trying out some of your suggestions.  "See you" tonight!

Look at the time! June is half way through 2013 and tonight we thought it would be a great opportunity to enlist some of YOUR creative ideas into "the mix" as we plan for the rest of the year and into 2014. We know many of you have thought of several ways [while either listening or participating in 100% support of Stana Katic] of helping STR continue to grow and evolve. So, tonight is YOUR opportunity to jump in to the discussion while we plan for the future.   We truly know the power of brainstorming together and want to tap into that very creative energy tonight as we continue to move forward.  After the latest STR News we’ll open up our STR Round Table to “poll the audience” for your thoughts and views on the future.  Hope you can join us. If not, we trust you will at least find a moment where you can give us your honest thoughts/suggestions via our web site and/or email address. Hopefully we can incorporate as many of them as possible. "See you" tonight! www.stanatalkradio.com stanatalkradiofeedback@gmai

Tonight is our first "STR Book Club" discussion. We will be discussing "The Marriage of True Minds" a novel by Stephen Evans. http://stanatalkradio.com/str-book-club-3/ We chose this book because Stana's Production Company, Sine Timore, has optioned it and will be working to turn it into a film in the future: http://www.stanakatic.com/sine-timore So, it's still not too late to buy/download it today to get in on tonight's lively discussion. It's our first STR Book Club selection.. who knows what'll be said. Here's just one of the ways you can purchase the book: http://www.amazon.com/Marriage-True-Minds-Stephen-Evans/dp/1932961461/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369150456&sr=8-1&keywords=The+marriage+of+true+minds Happy reading and hope to "see you" tonight!  

"Watershed" was a perfect title for the Season 5 Finale of Castle. What will Beckett decide? What do you think she should do? It has been called a "soft cliffhanger".. more along the lines of a heart cliffhanger. We now have the entire summer to try to figure out every possible thing/angle Andrew W Marlowe could have as Beckett's response to Castle. Stop by and tell us your thoughts on this Caskett Critical episode. Photo copyright/credit[above]:  Castle ~ ABC Studios/Network 

'The Human Factor' episode has set the stage for the Castle Finale next week.  In last night's episode, Beckett's skills have caught the attention of a certain Attorney General's Office Agent who has offered her an opportunity wayyyy beyond her current growth potential as a NYC Police Detective ~ based upon all her abilities she clearly demonstrated during the investigation/solving of this case. I hope you were able to watch this episode which was written by David Amann and directed by Bill Roe. No doubt tonight's STR Round Table will have us all wondering/speculating about how the Castle Team will leave us heading into the summer with the Season 5 Finale.

NOTE: the music was edited from the original show to fit the alloted time for a "featured episode".. we hope you were there LIVE! We can't wait for NEXT year! "Say what you wanna say, and let the words fall out .. honestly.. wanna see YOU be BRAVE" are the lyrics and the "say what you wanna say" chorus is the theme of tonight's STR Birthday Bash showering on our VERY favorite Stana Katic.    Here's Sara's new song and video: via YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwTr_CRw3GY and via iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/brave-single/id635410318   Let the party begin, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STANAAAAA!!!   Photo credit/copyright[above]: Stana at GOT Premeire, Getty Images, Elena|Miah|Sheryll, Stana at LHJ, Brooke Nipar. All "door prizes" were donated for this party. Thank you to our fellow Stana Fans!

"Still" was so much more than a "clip show" episode of 'Castle'.. hope you were able to watch it and have formed your own opinion of the "making of #Caskett". "Still" was written by Rob Hanning and directed by Bill Roe. Plus, we learned from Terri that Orlando Machado Jr put together all the flashback clips, awesome job by everyone past and present on the "Castle Team" who's body of work over 5 years was clearly and lovingly remembered in this episode of Castle! Photo credit/copyright: ABC Studios/Network May 2, 2013 is the 3 year anniversary for STR. Thank YOU to everyone who has ever participated in promoting and supporting Stana Katc.. through STR.

Castle jealous? You betcha! Obviously Castle is VERY comfortable with how the current Caskett relationship is progressing but Beckett seems to be doing a lot more thinking of late.. Hopefully you were able to watch last night's awesome #Castle episode, "The Squab and the Quail" [teleplay by Jason Wilborn & story by Adam Frost/directed by Paul Holohan] and have some of your own thoughts on the current status of "Caskett". If not, and you DVRd it, please watch it by Wednesday night. Photo credit/copyright[above]: ABC Studios/Network
