The first thing I need to get off my chest is the travesty occurring on the usually very good "Castle". This is by far one of my favorite TV shows, it features a great cast highlighted by Nathan Fillion and the gorgeous Stana Katic. Castle and Beckett, or Caskett as some fans call them, have a great chemistry that brings so much to the show.
However at the end of last season, after the producers took 6 long seasons, Castle and Beckett were finally going to get married. However Castle was forced off the road by an unknown assailant on the way to their wedding. I have no idea what the hell the producers were thinking, there was no suspense whether Castle would survive. THE SHOW IS NAMED AFTER HIM! Not only that but the thought of the audience going through all the wedding prep again is obnoxious (unless they'll be breaking up later this season).
As if that wasn't bad enough now Season 7 has started, we find out Castle has been missing for two months and has no recollection of where he's been. At least that's what he's saying. It's not a surprise that no one believes him, but Beckett continues to stand by his side. There were a few suspicious sightings of Castle while he was missing. Please "Castle" producers tell me that you will resolve where he's been quickly. All this back story is more fitting for "Lost" than "Castle".
"The Walking Dead" essentially used the same story line twice for The Governor and it was a massive fail. A terrible actor, a lame character and an incredibly boring storyline times two is a recipe for disaster. Having Castle and Beckett go through all the marriage prep again would be a disastrous idea. If they do get married, let it be very quickly.
The second episode of Season 7 of "Castle" is tonight, I hope for a quick resolution for this "Lostian" mystery. I'm hoping the producers will go back to the formula that makes "Castle" great, a great cast, great stories and that cheeky sense-of-humor.
Music: Tomorrow Weezer will be releasing their new CD, "Everything Will Be Alright In The End", after hearing two songs off the CD I'm cautiously optimistic. These are those two songs "Cleopatra":
and "Back To The Shack":
Sports: I had the misfortune of going to watch the BYU-USU game this past Friday night, easily one of the most devastatingly and humiliating losses in BYU history. USU won 35-20, completely exposing the apparently slow BYU cornerbacks. Virginia gave everyone the blueprint how to beat BYU, target the cornerbacks, although Virginia wasn't fully able to take advantage of that. However USU was and I'm sure Central Florida will be trying to exploit this very apparent weakness Thursday night. This loss was even more devastating than losing quarterback Taysom Hill for the season.
My former favorite pro team, the Dallas Cowboys, somehow are 4-1. How did this happen, I have no idea. But it's disappointing to me as this only makes Jerry Jones think he knows what he's doing. He will pay no attention to the previous 18 years where the Cowboys lost relevance and were only a shadow of what they used to be before then. However unbelievably all those bad decisions seem to be working in the Cowboys favor now.
One playoff win Tony Romo has been utilized in the game manager role, which is the best thing for him and the Cowboys. He's just not a winner, but if not too much is put on his shoulders he can be an effective quarterback. Someone, Scott Linehan?, has finally figured out that the Cowboys should rely on their young studly offensive line and injury prone DeMarco Murray. That has been a unqualified success, that is until Murray gets injured as he does every season. It also doesn't help that he has lost 4 fumbles in only 5 games. But so far that's working with the Cowboys winning and Murray leading the NFL in rushing.
Thankfully someone is in Jerruh's ear about drafting solid picks, not flashy Johnny Manziel type picks. Zach Martin was a much better pick than Manziel, adding to that very tough and solid offensive line. Also elevating Rod Marinelli to the defensive coordinator was one of the best moves the Cowboys have made the last several seasons, which honestly didn't take much. But the fact this talent deprived, injury prone defense has been respectable is because of Marinelli's magic. I was 100% wrong about how bad this defense was going to be.
Although I still follow the Cowboys, I just can't cheer for them any more. The damage that Jerruh has done them is just too much. I look forward to cheering on the Cowboys again when the Jones family no longer owns the Cowboys, Romo is no longer the quarterback and horrible head coach Jason Garrett is finally sent on his way. None of those three things can come soon enough. Until then I'll continue to cheer for the 49ers and Buccaneers!
With the Cowboys finding a way to win 4 of 5 games, I'm going to stop predicting they are going to lose. However it will be rough sledding for Dallas to defeat the defending Super Bowl champs Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday.
Lastly congrats to the Royals and Orioles for sweeping their ALDS series, very impressive.
Tonight is game 3 of the LA- St. Louis NLDS. The Dodgers have to win tonight in St. Louis or this series is essentially over. Hyun Jin-Ryu and their offense has to come up big tonight. Then can the under performing in the playoffs Clayton Kershaw finally come through in Game 4 on Tuesday night? He's an amazing regular season picture sadly he hasn't brought that to the playoffs enough as of yet. Orel Hershisher can you please work with Kershaw? Maybe your playoff magic can rub off on him? Go Dodgers!
