Anyone watch this?

This show simply gets better and better. Tonight? It was OFF THE CHARTS.

What a fun show.

I won't see the new one until it is put on Hulu, but yes, I love the show.

I love it too. I even read the books. And yes, they are cheesy. It's part of the fun!

I got those books for my dad for Christmas. He loved them!

Haven't read the books yet but my mother in law has the second one!
Absolutely love the show. Castle and Beckett are a great team and I love all the wild twists and turns. It gets better and better each week! Another half hour til I get to see the new episode.

Really? They good?

I might buy them.

I love the show and I tell my fiancee everyday to try to look like Stana Katic.... heck just get her hair ffs

Also, I love me some Nathan Fillion.

Awful pic of me, but that is a beautiful man so I don't even care. <3 The lady who plays Beckett is also very good looking.

I've seen up through Season 2 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I first watched the German Dubbed version on TV,but after hearing Nathan Fillions voice in english,I coudnt get enough.
Love the show and the Chemistry between the Characters. Especially the Father-Daughter relationship with Alexis.

This is the one show I'm missing the most while I'm overseas without Hulu. I've gotta start hitting the torrents...

The best part about the show last night was Castle's response to
It was a great show!

This is one series I plan on buying in full. It's on a long list of shows I need to watch.

Currently sitting on: Last 2 seasons of DS9, Smallville, Buffy, Big Bang Theory, Supernatural, Walking Dead to name a few.

*sigh* I need more freetime.

I already own 1st and 2nd season of Castle. I can't wait to own the 3rd

Heatherling, I'm so jealous of you.

Nice pigtails.

I like having pigtails for conventions and amusement parks! They make me happy.
Fillion is a sweetie, by the way. He wasn't even scheduled to be at SDCC that year but showed up anyway and sat at a booth for pics. I was just going to take a picture of him and he said, "C'mon sweetheart," grabbed my camera and took that pic. /swoon
That encounter may have helped bump him way way up on my charts.

He does seem like a cool guy. The only celeb I get to hang out was Bruce Campbell. He is pretty fun guy.

The only? That's a big only.....

Bruce Campbell is hysterical in person. I saw him at the New York premiere of My Name is Bruce on Halloween of a few years ago. He found one kid in the audience dressed exactly like Ash from Evil Dead 2, and brought him up next to him on stage for pictures. He asked him how much he spent on his costume, the kid said "50 bucks" because he went out of his way to buy the actual shell of the correct chainsaw online, and Bruce looked embarrassed, gave him $10, and said, "thanks".

My wife loves Castle. To death. I asked why once and it was all about Nathan Fillon. She said I talk exactly like he does and that while watching him on TV is nice, listening to him talk is like listening to me talk and it makes her feel attached to the show.

Watching it and loving it. The only thing I hate is that it's been shunted to a goddamn idiotic time slot here (Sundays at midnight).

Castle is pretty much the only show I set aside time for. I watch other stuff, but I don't want to miss castle.

Perfect blend of humor and crime drama, odd couple and romance.

Fixed. You're welcome. Now you'll get to Castle sooner.

I love Castle, especially when they veer away from the formulaic, then the show really shines.

Any one else keep noticing Star Trek: Voyager actors popping up as minor characters? I've accounted Robert Picardo and the actor who played Neelix so far.

What are you missing? Awesome episodes like this! (I had tears in eyes at 2:30ish)

Tonight's episode is a repeat.

LAAAAAAAAAME

Gonna be till the 21st. All is lost!

Will you hold me?

Agreed. It's been on a roll lately. I wish they would do more 2 parters. They really seem to thrive when they give themselves more time.

Next week will be very interesting... season finale coming soon.

I love this show. It is the only thing I watch regularly aside from anime on Saturday night Adult Swim.

As long as they don't cancel it, I don't care how long it takes, within reason.

It's the only one I make sure I don't miss.

have they fucked yet

So many times. You're missing out.

Gah all the tension between Castle and Beckett, it's like watching Bones!

(Not really a spoiler... but something they've already released about the finale a few weeks ago. I'll hide it for anyone who really doesn't want to know anything, though.)

But he hasn't been there since the beginning, has he?

Everyone on the show is going to be so sad if/when it's the Chief and then I'll be sad and I might cry! T^T
Can't remember the last time a show has made me tear up, but everyone on Castle is so splendiferous that I just might...

I'll try not to gloat too much about watching it a full three hours before you do...

Gah, I hate that you guys already know these stuff... and I'll have to wait about a year to find out.

This is the one time I'll tell someone to torrent something - television shows in other countries and are unable to be gotten any other way.

There's a sneak peek of this week's episode up on the Castle FB page.

yeah.i torrent castle so i can stay up-to-date. the only Show here in Germany that is in the same season as America is Desperate Housewives.

That's sad.

Season Finale of Castle t-minus 15 minutes.

I know! And I'm in the middle of a WoW raid!

HE is the third cop?!?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, what. the. fuck. happened there!?!

Edit: No seriously. WTF?! I can't even post it but...wow. That's. Interesting.

oh don't you even dare make that the cliffhanger...

Aw man!

OMFG

I don't mind a spoiler. They don't bother me. I was yelling about my four hour wait because....well it's FOUR WHOLE HOURS until I can see it for myself!

Balls. Huge, clanking brass balls. I mean, we know how it's going to end, but...Wow.

Sorry Wasabi. This one is just too 'bolt out of the blue' to want to spoil (Or maybe that's the spoiler)

I'm going to be biting my nails until 9pm my time.

I can't believe it, what an ending. Summer is going to be long.

Can't wait till fall... Walking Dead... Castle... Hockey... Skyrim.... Mass Effect 3... good times.

Our electricity went out for about 45 minutes. I thought I was going to miss it.

Holy crap.

OH MY GAWD!
I cant believe it! And now I have to wait till fall for the next episode?

Wait, so did they fuck or what

My prediction: She was wearing a vest and is perfectly fine. They faked her "death" so that the assassins would think they were off the trail. Then the evidence that Montgomery sent out will quickly resolve the mother murder in the first episode of the next season and it'll be back to light-hearted murder fun.

Yeah, I'm thinking that might be the story as well. Castle, however, appears not to be in the loop. Who is?

It'll probably be someone like the FBI or something like that.

Something else I don't think I like is the fact that Beckett will probably make fun of Castle for what he said or she won't have heard it. So it'll go back to the status quo.

I don't know if anyone watches Bones but the whole sniper death thing seems to be a common season ender this year.

Great episode though. She's dreamy.

That's hilarious. They start off the review with, essentially, "castle is a stupid show with a flawed premise thats only good for a quick laugh if you turn your brain off" and they review the last episode by saying, "yep. Still stupid. Ok, if you like that kind of stuff. I guess."

If you don't like the show in the first place, the season ending is hardly going to be interesting, now is it?

There's a good reason people should pay attention to movie reviewers that like the same things they like. I don't understand why people think tv review should be any different.

A.V. club, take a clue, here...

I was thinking fake-out too, like they did before on Bones.

Ahhh what a finale, I don't want to wait until next season. :-/ I hate crazy cliffhangers!

But if she was wearing a vest and is fine, why did Castle have blood on his hands? They also padded her with a blood pack so it would look real and didn't let him in on it so his reaction would be realistic?
Really, I'm afraid that if those I love you's turn into something concrete the show will jump the shark like Moonlighting did when Maddie and David finally got together. You don't remember that show? GET OFFA MY LAWN!

I disagreed with a lot of the review, and I agree with your assessment that it dismisses it as stupid, then goes on to explain why it fits in the box its made for it. BUT... I do agree with the review in that the dark tone shift almost wrote Fillion out of the episode. And I agree that the "cliffhanger" was not especially great: she isn't dead, not exciting.

That said, Castle is one of the shows I never miss, and I'll be there for season four.

I was amazed how deeply that bit on Bones affected me.

Re: Castle, that was a great episode, imo. After the Chief, I wasn't expecting them to go farther.

Who got shot on Bones

English squint.

And I guess Bones got shot with the love gun...heh.

I enjoy Castle, but it is easily one of the most predictable tv shows on the air. The big "OMG" moment at the end had no tension because we all know everything is going to be ok next season. Give us some REAL tension, like 3 or 4 episodes where Kate is worried she's pregnant because Castle won't wear a rubber.

Also I have not heard a better description or reason to watch the show than what that article said: "Which is fine, so far as it goes; Castle is hang-out television, a chance to unwind for an hour at the end of a long hard day, spending a little quality time with Nathan Fillion. " And who doesn't need that?

The show is, essentially, the Nathan Fillion show. It has hints of Abbot and Costello with a heavy dash of The Honeymooners. Mix well with Murder, She Wrote and Columbo and you've got Castle.

It's formulaic and predictable pablum for the masses.

It does have, however, just enough of the type of humor that I enjoy without becoming a full-on sitcom, and dispenses with the heavy partner-swapping nighttime soap operas that ER became and Grey's Anatomy was built on.

Oh I agree, it stays light, and honestly after a few hours of Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead it's a nice respite.

Wait, the Walking Dead is back on? I heard nothing!

No, no, no, I'm more making a general statement about more intense shows.

Premier is Monday. Can't wait!

Same here. Have to watch it streaming though.

Looking hella forward to new Castle season.

Think she dies?!?

(Me either.)

Dave said:

Click to expand...

That was one of the sloppiest non-cliffhanger endings I've seen in the last few years. No one out there believed she was going to die for a moment. The only question left is what tired cliche they'll use to explain why she appeared to be shot at the end of the season. My money is on the tired-and-true "it was a sting/ruse to draw out the bad guy" routine.

Still love the show, though. I'll definitely be watching this year.

If you've seen the previews, she's in the hospital and being worked on, so I don't think that it's an elaborate ruse. I just think she pulls through.

I'm excited! Too many shows for me to watch on Monday! XD

I hadn't seen the previews yet. Okay, that's one of the usual scenarios too. It was going to be that, an elaborate ruse, or Castle dreaming.

Excellent show tonight.

Is it just me or is the new chief sorta... you know.... not so good?

I don't know about the new chief yet. She could turn out to be a good hardnose who won't let her people out to twist in the wind, or she could turn out to be the wicked witch from the west.

I strongly suspect they are making her unlikeable so that when she goes on the line for them it means something. I don't think they'll let this current tension grow for too long on that point.

However, the deception of Castle towards Becket and vice versa (though her deception is, to me, not nearly as weighty as his deception towards her, but they are written to obviously give each other a secret for this season) is an interesting twist. They have to keep them apart in order to maintain the necessary romantic tension, and this appears to be a reasonable way to do it (too many shows are too contrived on this point).

I'm intrigued. I hope they make progress on her case each show - I prefer more continuity and fewer fillers, especially since the characterization of the major characters is well established.

I suspect the only thing we're going to see for a few weeks, though, is how the relationships and dynamics change due to the new chief, and the fleshing out of her character.

Aaaaaanyway, this weeks castle was a lot of fun. I didn't see the teeny twist until right before it was going to be revealed anyway.

This week blew me away! One of the things I pride myself on is knowing what was going on. I totally blew this one. Well played, Castle! Well played!

I love Castle for taking your typical tropes and making a delightfully fun episode out of it. It's the same reason I loved Eureka when it was still going.

Dammit, I'm watchin Castle on Belgian TV and I have no clue how much after you guys I am.
I just saw - how far behind am I?

A couple of episodes.

And it was probably the best episodes they've ever had of castle.

Also <3 Kate Beckett

Aw, I didn't realize that tonight was the season finale!

They did announce a few days ago that it was renewed for a sixth season, and given the Nielson ratings its receiving I don't see how they could cancel it at this point.

Castle is awesome.

Mid season was top notch.

I missed the season premier tonight. Will catch it on hulu tomorrow...

It wad decent.

Castle lost weight when he proposed. No wonder he's done it at least 3 times.

I personally didn't care much for it. They really are stretching the paradigm of the show. I understand why they would do so, but I think it's going to be either impossible or at the very least extremely difficult to believe to continue the partnership as we knew it.

So, Senator Beckett and 3 kids... and right after going back to the old status quo last episode. NICE!

Yeah, I'm not sure if going back was the plan all along. I think it was, but that makes the short foray into federal all that more head-scratching.

Last episode was pretty out there but at the same time, really solid.
