I kept thinking the baby was going to turn out to be fake during that interrogation.

LOL - That was a good one Dipo and I kind of feel the same way. It's weird because the show is all about murder but some episodes have a much more fun feel to them than others. Same thing with The Mentalist. These shows' strengths are the characters and relationships and they aren't as good when they stray.

I've always liked Adrian Pasdar. Maybe Homeland Security was facing budget cuts, so he's manufactured a terrorist situation to keep funding going.

Scoutie, I saw Adrian Pasdar in concert on Monday at the Avalon Theatre, at the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls. He was with THE BAND FROM TV. Great fun, and he sure is a cutie-pie. I also like that he's married to Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks.

Mame - lucky you!
I would love to see him in a series again. He plays shady villains so well, which is probably why I'm guessing he's up to something here, too.

Well, I was wrong about it being the wife, and happily so.
But Agent Fallon isn't a bad guy, as many people assumed from last week. But he was shaped by 9/11, and Gurliegirl stated that would be a shark jumping moment. I guess it'll depend on where they go from here.
Suspension of disbelief complete now after the disarming of the bomb.

Ooooh, you've intrigued me. I went to bed early so missed it; but wake to find I mad a prediction that came true. Boy does that bug me. How long are tv shows going to milk 9/11? Can't wait to watch tonight to see how it plays out.

milk 911? i can't imagine the lasting effect it had on the people who live and work in NYC, not to mention the real potential for continued violence in this country

That's not what I meant. I wasn't meaning to offend. I'm just tired of TV shows using it so much that their storylines are becoming predictable. As is evidenced by my prediction upthread. I know it has a lasting effect on the world, but I feel like writers keep it in their back pocket for when they run out of ideas. I'm looking for some original thinking in show writing.

I love this show BUT when they were just about frozen to death and then just got up and continued many more hours of work, it just didn't ring true. Wouldn't you be "down" for a little while? Resting? Am I off base?
Did I get that wrong? Did the "bomb/baby&mother/van" happen the next day?

I am with you Reenie! They would have been in the hospitable for awhile, not in the back of an ambulance for an hour. Ahh....Suspension of disbelief.
As for the timeline, I believe they were found in the wee hours of the morning and that the bomb would go off at 4:00 pm that afternoon. I could be mistaken though.

Thanks Sewmommy! I guess "suspension of disbelief" is right!!
But I still love the show.

With as much as I disliked the first half last week, is it worth it for me to watch the second half tonight?

Gurliegirl....yes watch it. It explains a lot more about the issues with Agent Fallon. AND then you can weigh in on the "they almost froze to death and went right back to work" issue!!!

The disarming of the bomb was a lot more "suspension of disbeleif"-ish than going back to work, IMO.

Lycanthrope - well, there is that too!!!! LOL! That was all "suspension of disbelief too!
I guess this episode was very unrealistic!

My son just came in and said that he absolutely loved it when Castle pulled all the wires! He said that they usually make a big deal about not knowing which wire to cut, and then they miraculously cut the right one at the last second. Since the bomb was going to go off in three seconds anyway, it really didn't matter if pulling all the wires didn't work; no one would ever know that it went off three seconds early. But it was more realistic for him to pull them all out than to somehow pick the right wire out of all of those to pull out.

Suspension of belief most definitely when Castle pulled the wires at the 0:00:00 hour. And when they recovered so quickly after being frozen for so long.
Beckett and Castle will get together, and soon. They just don't realize it yet. But all those longing glances? They so want each other!
While I have a lot of sympathy for those who lost lives and loved ones on 9/11, I am really getting tired of it being major story lines on every single TV show that has bad guys in it. I watch TV to escape what's happening and I don't need to be constantly reminded of it. I think including that event as a story line does sort of smack of jumping the shark. That, plus the constant "defusing the bomb at the last second" stuff. You KNOW they will defuse it. (Only once did I see anyone get blown to bits and that was on the show whose name escapes me now... the math wizard guy with the brother in the FBI.)
