Gilmore Girls & Castle

osprey_archerNetflix has Gilmore Girls on instant! NETFLIX HAS GILMORE GIRLS ON INSTANT. I have long thought that I should see more Gilmore Girls, and at last it is within my (extremely lazy and so very behind on TV shows) grasp!
Once I have gotten caught up on the TV shows I’m watching now, I mean.
Currently I’m catching up on season 6 of Castle. I really enjoyed the episode where Castle and Alexis worked together on a case, because Alexis remains one of my favorite characters on the show.
I am not so enthused about the storyline where Castle needs to learn important lessons about respecting Alexis’s life choices. Obviously this is an important lesson for Castle, with his barely checked yearning to helicopter parent...but at the same time, Alexis is dating Pi. I mean, he chose Pi as a nickname on purpose. And then he slept on the Castle’s couch for a month! A MONTH.
Pi is awful and I am 100% with Castle in his belief that Alexis deserves better than to spend her life looking after this manchild.
(My other frustration with this episode is the scene at the end, where Alexis and Becket talk about Becket and Castle's impending nuptials and reconcile. I would actually have loved this scene if we actually got to hear any of it, but we don't; we just see them hug from Castle's vantage point outside the room. Because the important thing is not their relationship; it's that their relationship is positive and therefore won't be a source of stress for Castle.
I really prefer Castle when it treats Castle and Becket as co-protagonists, as opposed to the times it remembers that it's called Castle and decides that therefore she's an adjunct to him.)
Anyway. I watched the season premiere of season 7 despite not being caught up - it’s not such a continuity heavy show that this matters too much. Did anyone else watch the season premiere? Castle got kidnapped by a vast conspiratorial organization that apparently possesses the ability to induce amnesia, which presumably is the same conspiracy that killed Becket’s mother, because otherwise Castle will have TWO big conspiracies and one was really more than I wanted in the first place.
Anyway, my takeaway from all this is that the conspiracy that killed Becket’s mother and kidnapped Castle (and possibly includes Castle’s daddy as a member) is Hydra. They are vast and amazingly powerful and super secret and have the ability to induce amnesia! (And Castle and Agents of SHIELD are on the same TV network. I am just saying.)
The one problem with this theory is that if Tony Stark existed in Castle’s New York, you know Castle would be going to all his parties and would be completely unable to resist mentioning the fact that he was partying with freaking IRON MAN, you guys. IRON MAN.

Castle and Tony would indeed be besties. Not Tony-Rhodey level besties, but rich "we can stand each other" buddies. And Alexis would be in love with Steve.
