I'm finding myself much in the position I was in at the beginning of last season--unable to say much about Castle. "Almost Famous" has some hilarious scenes involving male strippers or characters reacting to male strippers, but the crime part of the episode is the same old stuff, including the random twist at the end when the lawyer is revealed to be the killer.
As usual, Martha and Alexis made me smile and offer a perspective to Castle relating to the case, but that's about it. Sometimes I wish Castle would push the boundaries on occasion, more than the usual midseason finale or two-parter we currently have.
Score: 8.4/10
