I cant take Beckett seriously at all. The "So you wanna play?" line with the shoving of the desk was beyond laughable. The red-hair fetish the writers have also bothers me more and more. what ever happened to his 2nd ex-wife that is HIS FREAKING AGENT.

I don't know that I can do this anymore...

To be honest I haven't watched anything after the first episode. Judging from some of the comments, I'm not missing much eh?  :P

Dangit, Skar, I already gave up on this show, and now you tell me this week's episode was really good? Why do you do this to me?

If you end up watching it, I'd be curious to know if you agree with me.

Just got back from a 2 week absence.  And I must say that the dialog in the the episode of Castle I watched over lunch was pretty terrible.  I'll be joining Fell in my absence from that particular audience.

i tried watching the finale. it was dumb. the fact that the wait a full season to do anything with the cold case is idiotic - it is especially idiotic considering they dont know if they are doing a 2nd season. the other problem is that Nathan Fillion is awesome; so awesome, in fact, that he makes the detective look completely stupid and incompetent. They really need someone else to play her character.  She is terrible.

while i like Fillion (he is my hero), im not sure I can watch this anymore. maybe if they killed off the main chick and replaced her with, you know, someone intelligent?

Hey I like Stana.  She's a good actress, and very believable as a dumb cop.  Also her stiff response to him is mitigated by the fact that she's much more natural with other characters.  This is very consistent with her secret fan crush.  If there is a second season, and I hope there is, give her a chance and I think she'll surprise you.  not a prediction just a critique.
You can always get what you want if you never count the cost.

I have to admit I really like Castle, despite it's flaws. It may be because I"m slightly a Fillion fangirl but I really love his character and his relationship with his daughter and his mother. I'm hoping it's much better next season.
