7142.3191 in reply to 7142.2856 Episode 5x13 Title revealed: RECOILED www.spoilertv.com/2013/01/castle-episode-513-title-confirmed.html?m=1www.ehow.com/way_5285832_sports-boxing-tips.htmlRecoil
A boxer can throw a great punch, but if he does not knock out his opponent with one shot, he had better know how to recoil. Every time a boxer throws a punch, he leaves himself open for a counter. It is crucial that he bring his hands back into his guard position after every strike. This not only protects him from oncoming blows, but it also improves the quality of his punches. Punches are more effective when they are snapped rather than pushed. The recoil adds both snap and speed to the punches, which in turn adds power to the strikes.
Based upon the above description of what recoil is in boxing terms, I take this to be not specific to Beckett being the one who has to assume the recoil posture. From the history of the JB arc, the punches have been thrown by Bracken towards Beckett. She was the one that was Suckerpunch, she was the one that suffered the Knockdown and a Knockout, and she is the one who has Risen. Thus I think this is more indicative of Bracken's posture (position). He has thrown all he has towards Beckett, and is he now in a position to take the punches Beckett and Castle will throw at him. |

It could be a stance taken by either of them depending on how the story unfolds in Recoil. Beckett through the last punch, but if Bracken strikes back, then she may recoil to fend off his punch. I agree with your assessment on why Bracken would take the position to recoil, but to recoil may also be Beckett's position if Bracken once again gets the upperhand on her. I did hear the case takes on new twists and turns... Beckett may need to recoil to prepare herself for whatever this may be. If Beckett has leverage to bring him down, then Bracken will recoil. Does that make sense? |

 Stana Katic and Jack Coleman, Castle
On Castle's Season 5 premiere, Detective Kate Beckett opted against killing the man who was responsible for her mother's murder. But if given another chance, would she make the same choice again?
That's the question hanging over Monday's episode (10/9c, ABC), which reintroduces the shadowy Senator William Bracken (guest star Jack Coleman). When Beckett (Stana Katic)and Castle (Nathan Fillion) find evidence that links their current murder victim to Bracken, Beckett seizes the opportunity to finally bring the man behind her mother's death to justice. But as complications arise, Beckett may once again be forced to think outside the law.
"This certainly extends the conversation that we started in the first episode for Beckett," creator Andrew W. Marlowe tells TVGuide.com. "What line is she willing to cross in her search for justice? Does she do things the right way? Or does she compromise her values in order to get the result that she wants?" Adds Coleman: "She's very much on the horns of a moral dilemma. Every fiber of her being is crying out for vengeance. But [if she kills him], what does she become? What does that say about her? There are no easy answers here."
In some ways, Beckett is perhaps wrestling against becoming Bracken, who Coleman describes as a Machiavellian operator who will do whatever it takes to protect his secrets — perhaps even bump off Beckett for good. "She has this thing hanging over his head," he says. "All he really wants to do with her is neutralize her and keep her from making his life miserable. But I'm sure if he felt like there were a way to really make this problem go away, he could very well go down that path."
It's that level of danger that once again raises the concerns of Castle. Although his warnings have rarely been heeded in the past, Marlowe suggests that both Castle and Beckett are in new territory this time around. "It puts Castle in a position where he's waiting and watching to see what she's going to do with deep concern," Marlowe says. "He knows how dangerous this is for her. She's going after a sitting senator, a man with great power. Is she going to strike out?
"But what we're also seeing is a much more tempered, much more mature Beckett," Marlowe continues. "She's less the person who puts the blinders on and runs out into traffic than we've seen in past episodes. She is bringing a little bit more strategy to this, a little bit more gamesmanship."
Because the outside world is mostly in the dark about Beckett and Bracken's cat-and-mouse game, the two are locked in a delicate power struggle. But Beckett perhaps has a secret weapon: She will once again seek the counsel of her psychiatrist, Dr. Burke (Michael Dorn).

"He illuminates the struggle she's going through as she tries to come to an understanding of who she is and how far she's willing to go," Marlowe says. "But even with him, she's cautious. She can't give away the whole game. ... For Beckett, it's a much more complicated closed game. There are certain aspects of her decision-making process that she is keeping hidden, but it's not like she is going off the reservation. This is much more psychological. This is [about] taking a look at the wheels turning in her head and trying to calculate the best outcome."
As for what that outcome will ultimately be, viewers will have to stay tuned. Both Marlowe and Coleman promise that this is not the end of the dance between Beckett and Bracken. "It keeps the ground shifting underneath both the characters and the audience," Coleman says. "They're both in this toxic pas de deux. You're not sure who's leading, you're not sure who's following, you're not sure they're even dancing to the same music! But they can't seem to get away from each other." |

A little article on MSNBC isn't that shabby! 'Castle' star teases how far Beckett will go for revengeBy Drusilla Moorhouse, TODAY contributor  Colleen Hayes / ABC Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) investigates Senator William H. Bracken (Jack Coleman) on the next episode of "Castle." "Castle's" biggest bad -- Senator William H. Bracken (Jack Coleman) -- returns Monday night, and Beckett might finally have a chance to lock up the man responsible for her mother's murder. "He's a really bad guy," Coleman told The Clicker about his archvillain character. "But like all bad guys, he justifies his behavior. … He tells himself that he's in very murky world, and that you can play by the rules and be a sap, or you can grow a pair and do whatever has to be done." The question in "Recoil," Coleman noted, is "how far Kate (Stana Katic) is willing to go to exact the vengeance that she can just taste." "It is very much a sort of Ahab in search of the whale," he added, comparing Kate's obsession to that of the "Moby-Dick" sailor. "(Bracken) seems to land on a plate right in front of her, but it's just not that simple as it turns out," shared "The Heroes" alum. "And now she really has to wrestle with what's she's willing to do, who she's willing to be. "She just wants it so badly and she really has to wrestle with what she's willing to do." <style type="text/css">.ocicon { position: relative; top: 3px;}.invite a { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; color: #336699; font-weight: bold;}.invite a:focus, a:hover, a:active { color:#CC0000;}</style> <!-- end16840005 --> So does Kate's obsession threaten her new romance with Rick (Nathan Fillion)? "Castle to Beckett is light and love and life," said Coleman. "And Bracken's the opposite: he's darkness, he's death, he's everything bad. But it is yin and yang, and they both have a hold on her. "When you have something that's burning a hole in your soul and then it's right there in front of you and you have a chance to really act on it and get your pound of flesh, what do you do? How do you do it? I think inevitably it affects their relationship because it's the dark side that pulls her away from him … and it does take a toll on her." "What does Ahab do when she finds the whale?" Coleman mused about Kate's quest. "Will the whale kill her -- drag her down and drown her?" "Castle" airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on ABC. |
