course it was way better written /directed than Chuck which passed it's last 42 minutes at a break neck, no depth to plot pace that i felt like I was watching back to back commericals...Chuck bedside..chuck breaks into the highest security prison - no details, chuck on a super motorbike breaks into a truck - no details - leaves with prisoner on 200mph bike..no helmet..anyone ever tried running on a bike at 100mph and catch a bug in the face?! I've seen more depth in an episode of Spongebob!

anyway...yeah...nice exit for the Captain, and Beckett probably knew she had to flush out the bad guy by being the ultimate bait..so she takes one in the chest..well, in the bullet proof vest , and lays there for a second stunned and knocked out for a second so she doesn't hear Mal's proclamation of love. or wakes up with a head wound and doesn't remember anything and has to read all of Castle's novels to find out who she is..yeah..that'll work.

Originally posted by Oldguy: hi LWaves, thanks for calling me on the spoiler alert.. I didn't consider my post to be spoilers on core plot but you're right, I don't want to ruin if for others either..sorry.

that said, yes, we saw the blood on Beck...

but more important than any plot was about midway through the episode I remember saying outloud to my wife " ah....there he is ! " it was Mal..the brooding intensity, the passion, the pent up love and torment..everthing that Mal was at the most important times suddenly shown through in Nathan's Castle character in a way I've not seen him do in a good while...it was the best moment of TV that night....made me want to go pull out a Firefly DVD.
