This Monday’s episode introduces her estranged sister, played by Salli Richardson-Whitfield, best known for her role on the show Eureka. Check out my interview with […]
This week’s Castle was so much fun! Sure, the accents weren’t very good (several people complained on my social media timelines), but otherwise, it was a wonderful, classic Castle episode with tons of laugh out loud moments.

This week’s episode started off with a bang. Well, two bangs. Olivia and Fitz meet up and “review the numbers” then have an all out RAGING fight.
