Yay!
edit: Castle is very hot when he's being forceful, ie, telling Beckett she's staying at his place. I could do with more seeing tough Castle--but him squeaking when he's surprised is also wonderful.

When Beckett or someone that he cares about is in danger, he gets very forceful. He wouldn't have fired that gun for anyone else that wasn't family.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Don't you get in trouble for that?
Yes, you have to be in imminent danger of your life. His back to you, NSM.
The serial killer is standing next to the tied up kidnapped FBI agent, you reasonably believe he has a detonator that will blow up another 19 FBI agents, and he has his back to you. Even if you'd get in trouble you'd take the shot.
And, if tv movies with snipers and hostage situations have taught me anything, you're probably allowed to do it.
I think you also get in trouble for shooting into a populated subway car.
Like that would stop the NYPD...
She's got a serial killer three inches from her with the rubber valve sealing the doors seperating her from him.
Even if she somehow didn't fire (which I doubt) she'd have the train stopped in the tunnel or somesuch. The "throw up my hands and scowl" was silly.
I love the show, but manufactured suspense is tedious.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It was cool that Beckett bluffed the perp and all, but wouldn't it have made more sense for her to actually warn the FBI team that he was likely in the next building over with a trap set for them before she and Castle charged in?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Matt, I kind of wondered that too.
However, I still love this show. I think one of the things I like most is that it covers a range of emotions - funny, suspenseful, warm (Castle and his daughter?) - where so many shows are kind of one-note.

In real life, I believe she would shoot him. I understand that Castle is rather a kinder, gentler procedural, which sometimes keeps it off my must-watch list, because I'm gross like that, but I do like it.

Castle is very hot when he's being forceful, ie, telling Beckett she's staying at his place.
My thoughts exactly.
He wouldn't have fired that gun for anyone else that wasn't family.
Didn't even know he had one. I must have missed that bit.
I did love the 'you need a better car!' lines. And, as mentioned above, "I was aiming for his head." Gotta love the Firefly love.

Art Crawl!!!
Beckett gave Castle the gun when they were getting ready to enter the building.
Also, tivo didn't keep L&O or Saving Grace for me. Not happy. At least Saving Grace should be on demand.
