Castle - Dead From New York (150th Episode) - Advance Preview

Castle and Beckett watching Carly Rae Jepsen's performance on Saturday Night Tonight.
Airing this Monday is the penultimate episode of season 7 of Castle. Not only that, but it is also the 150th episode of the show, something which is considered a landmark for TV shows. The episode is written by Terence Paul Winter, a writer who has given us episodes like "Veritas" and "Once Upon a Time in the West". Other than being the 150th episode, there is nothing that special about this installment of Castle. It features a plain old murder, which has no ties to the mythology of the show, but that mythology will be addressed in the next episode which is the season finale. However, the episode itself is still quite enjoyable.

The murder victim in this episode is Sid Ross, the creator of a Saturday Night Live-esque show called "Saturday Night Tonight". This case takes Castle and Beckett to the world of Saturday Night Tonight, a show which has been on air for 35 years, and which they have both watched growing up. While solving the case, they share their fond (and not so fond) memories of the show with each other and also happen to meet some of their favorite comedians from the show. It also allows them a chance meeting with Carly Rae Jepsen (see sneak peek of the scene here), who is the musical guest in this week's episode of the show. As always, the reason behind the murder is not as simple as it appears and we delve deeper into the personal and professional life of the victim.

Meanwhile, at home, Martha's preparations for her Broadway show are in full swing, something which happens to be inconvenient for both Castle and Beckett. However, Martha maybe hiding how she is really feeling about being on Broadway after so long.
