ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 7 spoilers: Nathan Fillion’s role in two-parter
The two-part episode has become a rather big tradition in the “Castle” universe, and when you remember that, you better believe that it is going to play another big role when it rolls around in the February sweeps.
So what is going to be at the center of it? We can at least confirmed that the disappearance of Richard Castle at the end of last season will be a factor in it, but there will also be something more. We told you recently about the upcoming return of Dr. Kelly Nieman, and per TV Guide, this 3XK disciple is going to be at least part of the focus in this episode.
Also, executive producer David Amann tells the site that trying to handle this case, which is tied back to a major part of Castle’s past, will force Nathan Fillion’s character to basically rethink much of his life:
“The case he’s involved with that has some emotional intensity … brushes up against his experiences that occurred while he was missing.”
In the end, all we are really hoping for when it comes to this episode is entertainment, and maybe a clue or two as to what could be coming up. In the end, we don’t want to feel like we are just going around in a gigantic circle, and do not know exactly when, why, or how we will have answers delivered.
“Castle” will return on January 12 with new episodes, one week after “The Bachelor” airs its three-hour premiere.

“and maybe a clue or two of what will happen in the end”sounds a lot like and maybe they will get married in the end. Let’s face facts – people like instant gratifacation. When I ask you the time, do not first tell me how to make a watch. Long term goals are best acheived by establishing a clear objective of the long term goal and defining several short time goals that will build confidence in attaining the long term goal and also allow correction for any obstacles encountered. Apparently the showrunner and writers are not familiar with this basic business process. Let me try to help.
1. Long term goal – obtain more viewers
2. Short term goals:
A. elimate competition in case solving between Castle and Beckett. A team approach is much better because the capability of a team is greater than the sum of the capability of the indivual team members. This basic concept seems to have escaped the attention off the showrunner.
B. Determine what the customers (the fans) want (see a above for example). Surely there has been enough fan input to determine what this is (although seemingly ignored).
C. Develop plans and schedule for short and long term goals.
D. Keep customers (fans) informed and involved. Customers need to know that you recognize that there is a problem and when you expect to have the problem resolved.
E. Continue to encourage customer input and consider them in the process of problem solving.
I will not continue but I think you probably see and understand the process. This process has been proven to be successful in countless cases and has been taught in all managerial studies that I have participated.

That is certainly a really idiosyncratic way to do business and it’s good to see how well it is taught at various educational institutions.
Storytelling, however, has got nothing whatsoever to do with business. Storytelling is the work of the mind using fantasy to create characters and plots. It has never been and hopefully never will be an interactive game or business.
Although TV shows might give the illusion that they are, it still is an illusion because it’s still the writers who create the characters and the story. True, TV shows definitely make a lot of money especially if they are successful but success in storytelling is not about keeping customers involved and informed. It’s about telling good stories. And if they tell good stories then the so-called customers are entertained and curious. That’s how it used to work before the internet and social websites.
It will be a sad day when scriptwriters sit down and sift through all the wishes and suggestions of fans before they create a story their fantasy and imagination dictate.
I would consider it rather arrogant to give advice to people who have been doing a great job for many years now.
