Castle 2:7
Posted by dorolerium on Sunday, November 15th, 2009
Hayley Blue, of the Bluepills, is found murdered at a scene that is staged to be like one of her videos. Oh, and the episode actually opens with Castle playing Guitar Hero by himself, which was hilarious.
Alexis is really upset by the Hayley Blue death, she’s a big fan of Hayley and the Bluepills, and she is actually helpful in solving the crime. While I love this show, I find it difficult to believe that the police would really work that closely with the public, but whatever.
There are some good suspects in this show – the former manager, former guitarist, even a stalker. But it turns out to be someone completely different, and they are able to arrest the true culprit by listening to the lyrics in Hayley’s last song. There are two songs of hers featured in this episode, and luckily both of them provide clues. Do all artists really put this much overt personal stuff in their music? I mean, I know people sing about real life, and their lives in particular, but it just seemed too convenient.
Despite the convenience, I have found myself humming one of the songs even after the show is over. I was sad to discover these songs are not on youtube, because that would also be a clever marketing technique on the part of the show. Plus if I’m going to have a song stuck in my head, it might as well be readily available to me.
I also found it a little weird that several people did their hair and makeup like Hayley Blue. Not weird as in the show is stretching, weird like I know people really do this and it’s strange to me. I guess I am maybe too entrenched in my own lazy style to make the effort to dress like someone else.
Since this episode was more on the sad side, with Alexis having a personalish tie to the victim, there weren’t as many funny moments or fantastic lines. Which is disappointing, but I’m sure the next one will be much better!
