Yes, definitely a disappointment (and up against 2 other shows I like, I suppose this becomes "if one of the others has a re-run, then I guess maybe").
Tracy: 'When you can't run, you crawl... and when you can't crawl, when you can't do that--' Zoe: 'You find someone to carry you.'

Always Anti-fascist!
Castle: I'm a dick, I guess, but I read the "Formulaic" comment and said "Lately?" But I guess it's not fair to comment on something I saw five times and never really liked because I figured out the reveal in three minutes. Oh, and the precinct coatrack kept stealing scenes from Stana Katic. (/bitchy critic)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I continue to enjoy Castle - because I like the characters, and always have. Even when the show isn't at it's best it sort of feels like checking in with friends.
ETA: It doesn't hurt that I have a huge crush on Nathan Fillion. So there is really no objectivity in my enjoyment of the show as a procedural.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
And once they eased up the obsession on the Kate's mother thing it's a lot better. It's good background tv.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Zoe: I wasn't planning on the dirt kissin', sir.
Wash: I wouldn't stand for it anyway, Captain. Jealous man like me.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I think I might be sharing a brain with WindSparrow.
(the interactions between the boys are what I love most. Both Ryan and Esposito measuring Castle's fame made this week's episode worth it.)

Rewatching Due South makes me doubly appreciative of Ryan and Esposito - they are the anti-Huey&Louie

I will just point to the last couple of comments and say that's why I'm still watching Castle. Especially what brenda said.

It's Thursday - Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is on; and they show two episodes every week.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I think part of what is dragging down Castle is less banter between Castle and Beckett. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think Castle came up with one nutty theory this last episode.
