Trivia
When Beckett is informed that Castle wants to help her work the case she asks Captain Montgomery if she could talk to him for a moment privately. In the script, Montgomery was supposed to say yes, but instead he said no and shut the office door. Kate's reaction is the honest reaction as the director liked Stana's shocked reaction so much they kept it.

Goofs
When Detective Beckett approaches Castle at the party and takes him to the police station, he has a closer shave than in the following interrogation scene. After returning home from the interrogation, his facial hair has returned to the much shorter look.

The main character is so unlikeable it killed the show dead for me!

I usually like the 2 leading actors ( Nathan Fillion of Firefly & Stana Katic of Absentia ) so I though I'd give this show "Dick" "Castle" ( aka Richard Castle as the main character ) a shot but as soon as this "Dick" finds out 2 people have been murdered copy catting 2 of his books instead of being a normal human being this total "Dick Castle author" asks for copies of the photos of 2 dead people from their crime scenes so he can show off to his friends.

Not only would this make this guy a total idiot ( & possible psychopath ) for having no empathy for the victims or their families, it would also lead the police to believe he was a prime suspect taking time away from what as an audience we could only believe must be a different person as the killer.

If I really don't like this "Dick Castle" why would I watch the show as this whole disgusting scene lost me any inclination to want to watch this show.

If they had made the character totally drunk & was seriously told off by the lead detective Kate Beckett who should of been unbelievably horrified at such a request for "bragging rights" to people being murdered in the same way he wrote the books maybe, a then sober "Richard Castle" could have been horrified at himself for allowing himself be such an incredible jerk & sincerely apologise to Kate Beckett & promise to do much better as a human being then we might have been able to see the start of redemption for this seriously flawed character ( then when he met the victims family I would hope he would feel truly terrible & admit he had a serious problem with reality & how he needed to realise real life is not like his books at all.

However this "Dick Castle" was stone cold sober with a stone cold heart.

I don't blame the actors but the script & the director lost me right then!

( we had already seen "Dick Castle" was a Father so why would he be such a jerk at his age & without a good reason to explain it you lose your audience right away that have any feeling for the murder of 2 innocent people ).
