Good point, there. I just found it funny that the guy used 'I know who wanted to kill your mother' as a bargaining chip. Like, wouldn't the fact that HE HAS A GUN TO CASTLE'S HEAD be a greater advantage? And bossman holding a gun on him...saying he can't let him go...I got the impression from that that he was being like, 'Sorry, I know how much it would mean to you to find out who killed your mom, but we can't let this psycho go just to satisfy your curiosity'. Castle's predicament didn't seem to factor in that much! 'coz if his life's being threatened, don't you, IDK, try hostage negotiation or let them go and follow? Rather than just stand there and practically DARE the guy to kill him? Lol.
The only thing was that I knew Beckett would kill the guy, the show is more open. Jane was a complete surprise though.
IDK. I thought it was weak that Roy had his gun on the dude already, yet Beckett was able to draw, aim and fire in a second while he couldn't get off a shot. I know why they did it, to make it more poignant, that she killed her only lead for Castle, but come on...fail, Roy!
I hear ya on Jane. But he grew up traveling in a carnival circuit, right? He probably learned how to shoot on those games where you kill the ducks for a prize or something. :P
I still don't know what is worse: someone killing your family because you made fun of him/her or someone hating your mother enough to pay 100 000 for her murder.
Ooh. I hadn't thought of it in those terms, whoaaa...'k, I think- the former is worse, because it's so senseless. But in terms of morality, the latter is worse, because that person made a cold, calculated decision to kill her, whereas RJ's just a messed up psychopath. I don't know how to make that clear, but...someone killing another person to keep them quiet or something, a sane person making that horrible decision, is worse than someone who's sick in the head and cutting up people for fun. Or something...*ponders*
I think they meant the 'tree of life'. Because Jane chose Lisbon's life even though he denied earlier that he would.
Tree of life. Religious concept, is it? *iz ignorant*
And ILU. That's what I was thinking- even though it was HIS life he was talking about earlier, when it came down to the line and HER life was hanging in the balance, he chose life in the end.
That thing right there moves me so much. I actually wrote a fic that peripherally dealt with it [self-pimping! (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5122729/1/The_Strangest_of_Inventions)].
