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.

And once they eased up the obsession on the Kate's mother thing it's a lot better. It's good background tv.

Zoe: I wasn't planning on the dirt kissin', sir.

Wash: I wouldn't stand for it anyway, Captain. Jealous man like me.

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.

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.

THAT's what's been missing! I knew I hadn't been enjoying Castle/Beckett as much, but couldn't put my finger on why. Thank you.
