Castle

[author_by_night]

Just saw last night's episode of Castle. Am an emotional wreck.

Spoilers are allowed/expected in the comments.

Oh, and seriously, if you haven't watched it yet... it just got even better, and it's already a great show.

It was heartbreaking that Beckett was so close to finding her answers, only to lose it.

There has to be other evidence somewhere indicating why someone hired a hit man to kill her mother. They just need to find it, and put that puzzle together. But I expect no more major developments on that front until next season.

It was also great to see this new milestone in the relationship between Castle and Beckett--he felt humbled enough to want to leave their partnership, and she admitted that she likes him enough to want him to stay. It's not romance (yet), which is good. But it's finally genuine friendship.

Overall, it was a good mystery with compelling emotional ups and downs.

But I expect no more major developments on that front until next season.

And I think even that'll be just another step - I don't think we'll know who killed Beckett's mother until the final season. It'll always be a battle.

It's not romance (yet), which is good. But it's finally genuine friendship.

I wanted them to kiss, and then I felt that it was best they didn't. It wouldn't have been right. I did think that the fact that Castle offered to leave said a lot.

I actually liked the dynamic between everyone in this. It was very well done.
