So hear me out, revive the castle series.

Make it star Alexis Castle as head of her father's PI firm with the help of someone familiar like Haylee.

The start could be full closure to the end of the series. Either the mourning of two of her loved ones and someone from the original series lighting a fire under her, making her interested in taking up the PI firm.

Or on the other hand, it could start off with Alexis finding both Kate and Rick dying or dead and yet the apartment has no Locksat to be found. What happened? Who killed them? Ect...

Idk if this has been pointed out. I'm a lit major so bear with me, everything has to mean something. The curtains are blue because... just kidding.

So at the end of the Hollander's Woods Catle reaches out, Beckett recognises his ring, hands him her gun so Castle can shoot Holtzman. But that's exactly whats going on; their relationship (the ring) saved both of them. He kills his biggest demon with the help of Kate.

Beckett, with Castle's help finally found out what happened to her mom and made peace with it. He never would have done that without Castle. He saved her from a miserable life. And Castle never would have found real peace without her. Sure, he's have gone on dating women after women. But he found peace with Kate.

Royce won last round! Barely thought! He and Kate got an equal amount or comments voting for them, so i decided to go on who of them had the top comment witg more upvoted, which was Royce!

Stana Katic is not mentioned in the article, and there are bits of all copaganda actors in the pastiche, but Castle fans will know by the first commercial break.

Alexis won this round! Also happy Christmas! (Merry Crysler ;p)

Hi, I just thought i’d update big fans who weren’t aware that the books Richard Castle wrote in the show, the ‘Nikki Heat’ series is real and I got it for Christmas! I’ve wanted these books forever and I got 6 books out of the series, the best part is the first book Heat Wave looks exactly how it does in the show, down to the quote by James Patterson and the ‘meet the author’ section at the back being Richard Castle, with Nathan Fillions character photo and everything included! The detail in coordination with the show is amazing in season 2 episode 5, when they reveal the book cover and dedication, it is exactly the same irl, and in the episode ‘tick tick’, the plot line is the same in the actual book as it’s described in the show! So far, Heat Wave (the first book) is amazing! It’s incredibly meta and soooo much fun to watch the show, see the ‘fictional’ book, and then be holding it irl! If you can find the book series hard copy like I did and are a big fan of the show, I would highly recommend buying it!

Jerry "3xk" Tyson won the last round! also happy Christmas eve!

Been rewatching the series and is now on Season 6. I hate how the show tries to push too much freedom on teens. Like yeah they can make their own decisions but don't the parents have something to say? Grow a backbone please. Doesn't mean the day you turn 18 you magically stop making stupid decisions. With Alexis and Castle's track record, of course any parents would freak out if you are suddenly moving in with a "Fruitist" that you've just met 2 months ago. Make it make sense. Jeez...

Rewatching season 1 for the first time in years - I forgot how good the early seasons are. The characters changed a lot too. Beckett started off as a character with working class roots. Can't imagine the Stanford Beckett of later seasons having that reaction to voodoo or cow's feet soup. If only they could've kept this great chemistry going a little longer. I would've watched this show forever!

Cap'n Monty won this round

p.s. don't try to look up pictures of him with the search being "Montgomery castle" because apparently Wales has a castle named a castle named Montgomery castle 😶 (they were v pretty pics tho lol)

I just started and am in the early part of season 1. I figured this would be right up my alley, since I love shows like The Mentalist, Chuck, and Pysch. I'm enjoying it so far, but am wondering if it gets an overarching storyline, like Red John. I know I'll bore quickly if it stays a formulaic procedural. I don't mind 1 off episodes, if there's a baddie that they can't catch, or an organization they need to take down.

I honestly don’t know if spoiler would be put but here I go. I’m struggling with season 8. On episode 3 and I guess I strongly dislike what has happened to Castle and Beckett relationship. And honestly wishing the show ended at the end of season 6. Where they just got married and that’s it. I just don’t know if can continue watching it. Help?!?

I'm in Season 4, so if this is answered later, just say so.

I just watched the CIA episode and Sophia mentioned Castle's notes on the screen in his office about Beckett and that she may not like that he is doing it. Are these notes general notes about Beckett, something I may have missed in an earlier episode? Or are they about her mom's murder?

Thank you.

Ryan won! No shock there! he rocks! :)

I don't know if you feel the same but for me Lanie was the most valuable character on the show. She was that friend that everyone wants in their lives. Very considerate and caring and good voice of reason. I just love her interactions with Beckett about anything that is related to Castle and their complicated relationship. She is straight forward with her feelings and she really is good friend for her. And it means to be with her no matter what and occasionally cuts all crap from Beckett.

Still my favourite conversation is when Beckett need advise about Castle and his change of behavior.

Lanie: Girl, please. What exactly do you have? Really?

Beckett: A friendship?

Lanie: No. What you and I have, is a friendship. What you and Castle have is a holding pattern. How long can you circle before the fuel runs out?

She is all of us in that moment. And I'm glad that she is.

So I’ve been rewatching a lot of episodes lately and started to watch cops and robbers again. I’ve seen this scene 1000 times and it makes me love Beckett each and everyone.

We all need a woman that would storm a bank for us.

Hii. I finished castle, loved it. Already watched bones, criminal minds ( my fav) , cold case ( love), FBI ( meh). Any suggestions ?? Thanks a lot!

Im doing a thing again peoples! Will try to do one every day! Comment who you think should get this spot! :)

Demming was an awesome character that came at an awesome time and deserved better then a confused kate. Whats yall opinion about him?

I know this show has a lot of drama and Caskett is the main reason for that but I must admit THIS episode just broke me. Even after years I still watch it with tears in my eyes. The first punch for me is when Castle tells Beckett that this is their last case and interactions with Ryan and Espo. Stana just kills with her facial expressions. It's subtle but so meaningful. She is sooo good with showing face "Yes that information just hit me like a ton of bricks". Even today part of me think that she deserved it. She starts the whole thing with Demming out of the blue, she acts like she really is interested in him from the beginning (and of course she kissed him at the precinct when everybody can see them) then tells Castle she doesn't want things get awkward between them because of that new situations. What she expected? Nobody can convince me that she was blind about his feelings. So of course she had a problem with her emotions way back before gunshot. So despite all my feelings about her (I don't know if I ever have this strong love/hate relationship with fictional character before) the final conversation was just heartbreaking. I don't know how she did it but this glassy eyes of hers just ends me. This small details makes this scene so unique. And Into the blue playing in the background... They had a lot of tearful moments in all 8 seasons but to this days that episode just makes me cry for real.

The episode is called "The Third Man" and at 4:20 to 4:40, Ryan hands Kate a camera that's used to take photos of the house so everything can be put back where it was found by the squatter. I would have included screenshots, but they all come out as black screens.

I'm watching on Roku, if that's important to the timestamps.

On my first watch and just finished the 2-part episode, is it ever explained how the DNA from Tyson's tooth doesn't match the sample they got from the beer?

I assumed he had planted the beer with someone else's DNA just in case a match was found, but it seems like they didn't really address this (unless I missed it).

Obligatory spoiler warning, talking about events through season 7.

I was thinking about this when the 3XK arc came to it's end. Beckett killed Kelly Neiman, but Castle didn't kill Jerry Tyson, he only set him up to die, and Esposito killed him with a sniper rifle. I thought it would have been more poetic for both of them to get their kills, but then I thought about it more and it made sense. Beckett is a cop, her job is to be on the line and that sometimes ends with putting people down. Castle isn't a cop, he is a writer, his job isn't to serve and protect, his job is to create the story. Sure, we've seen him capable of killing people, he has that darkness inside of him. When Alexis was missing, he did not care about the consequences of his actions, he only cared about finding his daughter and he essentially tortured an injured man who was involved in her abduction. Later, he attacked Tyson because he knew Tyson was involved in Beckett's kidnapping, he pulled a gun on him and was ready to do whatever it took to get her back. That definitely shows how capable he is of doing what he feels is necessary to protect the people he cares about, but that's not his role. Castle ends up beating Tyson, by creating the story, the plan on how to kill him. He's not the person who pulls the trigger, he's the person that makes all the pieces fit together, in this case, to rid the world of 3XK.

To conclude season 7, we see Castle's demon, the person who led him down the path he ended up going down. In his struggle with Holtzman, he uses Beckett's gun to kill him, in a way, exercising the demon from his childhood. Unlike with 3XK, who was a villain he faced through his work, Holtzman was a personal demon that Castle had to see through himself, and in the end, Castle killed him.

While making this post, Bracken of course came to mind, and unlike the other three characters, he gets arrested instead of killed. As much as Beckett might have wanted to kill him, she understands the difference between justice and revenge. While her actions might not have been the right ones, when dealing with Bracken and her mother's killer, she chose to go for justice in the end.

While Kelly Neiman could have gone either way, how Tyson, Holzman, and Bracken met their ends is important for their connection to the story and the characters.
