“Just look into these pretty brown eyes and drift…away.”  The eerie club music in the back adds to the chilling mood of the scene, which overall feels more like a scene from ABC’s Scandal than from Castle.  He knows he’s dying and we see that he doesn’t understand why she’s done this – taken his life.  They choose to draw it out and focus on  his shock and hurt.  There have been brutal murders before, but  they don’t show the actual killing – especially in the way this episode shows the victim dying.  It’s the coldest murder the show has ever staged.  She comes over, sits on his lap, kisses him…and stabs him to death.  Our first murder victim ( Tim Fields) – yes, I said first – has noticed that an attractive woman ( Daisy Betts) has been following him all day.  A sophisticated bar/club scene, men in suits and women in cocktail dresses. The opening setup for Castle “XY”  is one of a dark drama.  I promise, there is definitely some good stuff! The Castle Season 8 Premiere Setup  So in this recap and review, just note that we’ve got to get through that first 10 minutes before we get to the good stuff. In my Castle Season 8 premiere teaser article I mentioned that the first 10 minutes were hard to swallow. SPOILER WARNING: This Castle Season 8 premiere recap and review has SPOILERS for Castle “XY.”
