Jade Lockett By Rook 07-da09rfc by Bound2theTrax

Lockett goes on the run when her old nemesis, mob boss Rocco Vendetta, puts out a contract on her.  She takes refuge at Rainsford's estate in the Hamptons, only to be abducted from poolside by Vendetta's minions.  Now Rainsford must use all his deductive skills to find and rescue Lockett before the sadistic death trap prepared by Vendetta claims her life!  Tonight, only on ABC!

 
One week ago today, word broke on the Internet that Stana Katic, for many of us the chief reason to watch ABC's Castle, had been shown the door by ABC Television.  If there is a Season 9 of Castle, it will air without the character of Detective Kate Beckett.  A shabby way to treat a lovely and gifted actress, to say nothing of the kick-ass yet very feminine character she portrayed for eight years.  Guess we'll never get to see Beckett in truly convincing bondage peril, as opposed to the lame-ass bondage peril she was subjected to on-screen.
 
By curious coincidence :iconrook-07: and I have been collaborating since early April on a suitably dire predicament for Detective Jade Lockett, the OC inspired by Kate Beckett.  I'm pleased to present the final product.  Enjoy.

It's a crap situation for Ms. Katic but sometimes tv production is crap. As for the drawing as the ice melts Jade will get pulled up. Why doesn't she just try to stand on the brick. Then she'll have plenty of slack. BAM solved. Then she can leisurely try to untie the ropes and such.

While I've never seen the TV show (I swore off crime dramas years and years ago as being mostly repetitive and genre-sclerotic), I can certainly appreciate a fan's appreciation of a solid actress in a good role. I empathize. I was a confirmed fan of Gillian Anderson's work, and felt bereft when "X-Files" was pulled. The recent movie was...terrible!

Very nice piece. As for the show, I don't see the show lasting past Season 9. The chemistry and the relationship between Beckett and Castle was what made the show what it was... I will miss Stana on the show and I wish her all the best in future endeavors.

Thank you for the kind words.  The creatively bankrupt Season 8 now winding down was based on a preposterous story arc in which Beckett embarked on a private crusade to take down yet another byzantine conspiracy, resulting in her physical and emotional estrangement from the Richard Castle character she finally wed last season.  Given that the series thrived over the previous seven seasons based on the partnership between Castle and Beckett, it came as a surprise to no one but the network suits when the ratings tanked and Beckett became expendable.

I don't watch Castle often, but when I do I'm more invested in Beckett than Castle himself. Shame to see her go. 

(Great piece, by the way. You tend to commission awesome work.)
