Summary:
I love how they made these two scenes in 6x05 so similar. Rob Bowman directed this episode, so I am very sure he did this on purpose and for a reason; especially since the episode's theme was to do with time traveling. Even Kate's hair and outfit are similar for both scenes.
Actually, while rewatching this episode, I even got a little confused because there was no obvious transition that we have moved on to the next day. Usually there will be either a 'black fade' or a pan of the city, but for this episode, it was just straight into the next scene. The only thing that will let you know that it is a new day was the characters were in different outfits.
Man, how I would love to listen to a commentary for this episode with Rob Bowman in it.
The Nose is one of my favourite episodes from S8 too 🥹 Another one is The Last Seduction 🥹🤍 Just thinking about one of the scenes (in the precinct) is making me grin so wide right now 😂
hi there!! sorry if this is weird but wanted to get your opinion on something!! believe it or not I've never watched the final season of castle and I know a lot of people say it's a bad season but I finished my season 7 rewatch and I'm wondering whether or not to give s8 a chance lol like is it so annoyingly bad I should just skip it forever or are there still moments that make it worthy of my time? thank you ☺️
hi!! not weird at all, I love that you asked me haha 😊 I also hope you don't mind me publishing this in case anyone has anything they want to add!
the short version of my answer is that yes, I personally think it's worth watching at least once! That said, I am well aware that there are things I might have forgotten about it since I've only seen it once. I'll put my reasoning/other considerations below the cut. Hope this helps!

Yes is my short answer, but I wanted to say why because there's a lot that goes into it for me (I take this way too seriously 😂)
First, I very generally believe that everything is worth watching at least once. That's just how I usually consume media. I also do my best to always watch things before I give any sort of opinion—for example, there are some things I have an idea about (including Castle season 8), but I felt it was important I personally watch it if I wanted to meaningfully converse about it.
Second, I think there are some moments I do love in season 8! I also know there was at least one episode that I did want to rewatch once seeing it. I'd say if you go into it open-minded (but with reasonable expectations, since it does have its issues), then you might be pleasantly surprised by parts of it 😊
That said, I'd ask what your reasons were for not watching it to begin with (as well as how you feel about season 7, because I feel like that can also be helpful for deciding if you want to watch 8). Because I will say that for me, season 8 was a hard watch since I have an idea of what was going on during that time w/ the cast (and I wasn't even watching the show live!). I also had some major problems with the storyline. Now, I kind of view season 8 as a bonus (meaning I only really acknowledge the parts I like as canon and ignore the existence of the rest 😂) because I think there are some moments I love but also have what I feel are fairly valid issues with other parts (valid meaning I can imagine other ways for the characters to behave that I think are just as plausible).
Anyway, hope that made sense. Feel free to ask/DM/reply if you have any questions/need clarification on any of this!
I agree! Please do give S8 a chance and watch it with an open mind and heart. I know that fans are/were unhappy with S8, but it still has those special episodes and moments too.

Castle Parallels - when Kate fixes/plays with Castle's collar
6x04 // 4x07
Recently, I mentioned how I just realised a few things about this scene in 6x04. One of them was how Kate was playing or fixing with Castle's collar before he goes inside the building. To me, it felt like it was a way for her to show affection.. like she probably wanted to hug him but couldn't really since they were both in a professional setting.
Then I saw the scene from 4x07 today and it made that scene, to me, more intimate and meaningful.. until Martha break the mood 😂😂
