Castle Jumped the Shark: Spolier-Full

[KD5NRH]

I always envisioned John Clark as a kinda stocky, fit, competent guy, but Willem DaFoe has enough creepy crazy to make it work.

I always pictured Clark as just a little past his ruggedly handsome prime.  Think Mark Valley with a hangover.  Didn't Clancy describe Clark as somewhat taller than Chavez but not as stocky?  Bit hard to reconcile that with 5'7" Dafoe unless Chavez was a midget.

Alec Baldwin...I liked the book much better than the movie, although the book was slow starting off, but it sucked you in pretty good once it got going.

I may be the only one here that watched Hunt for Red October as a 1st release while actually underway on a fast attack submarine. We were deployed in the Med at the time.

Talk about a room full of critics...

Having watched a few episodes of Cops with a DPS trooper, I can imagine.

Watching anything even remotely medieval with a bunch of SCA folks can be almost as bad; they actually ran down the batteries on the DVD remote backing up, pausing and zooming.  Watching cowboy movies with SASS people is similar.

Snort.

They can come back with the snark when they shoot more than mouse fart loads.  All hat, no powder.

Except that SCA and SASS are play acting and while entertaining from what I've seen hard core reality isn't the mainstay of either, Of course hard core reality doesn't always come into play with law enforcement officers either.

When one is pretending to chop someone else's limbs off with a broadsword I think a certain lack of realism is a good thing.

Tis but a flesh wound, I shall continue! Guy I worked with and his cousin were both in the same unit, both SCA. They got permission to bring their SCA stuff on deployment with us and practice on the ship. Pretty fun to watch.
