This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

There's less collateral damage if he gets away. At least that's what I told myself.
Seriously, I don't watch Castle for the procedural parts (even though that's why it's in this thread), I watch if for the relationships between all the characters. This show is just FUN.

Always Anti-fascist!
It's a good thing...the procedural...what's the writer term? blows.Sometimes it interferes with my enjoyment...fuckin' Simon, man. Ruins everything with his*accuracy* blah blah, facts, blah blah, manufacturing crisis, blah blah unchecked capitalism...what an asshole. Maybe even fake-married people sound alike after a while.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I mostly half-watch Castle for just that reason. I pay attention when there's fun stuff on screen. I read blogs whenever there's a scene in the interview room.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The interview room scenes have their moments - it's a good opportunity for Beckett to slap Castle down if he needs it.

Also good if Ryan and/or Esposito are involved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Beckett's great in the room. I don't think that's where the show displays a procedural weakness at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was totally not the death I was expecting from L&O:CI. I was expecting Goren to buy it.
It's not too late. This is going to be the end of D'Onofrio on the show, right? That is what I'm gathering from the ads.

Maybe not a procedural weakness, although personally I don't find the writing nearly as strong there. But that might be a personal preference for character interactions over the procedural stuff.

I could spoil ya (obviously I wasn't hugely spoilt, or I'd have known the Cap was going to die) for that, but this isn't the place for it.

They definitely are the show's strength.
I do wonder how much longer and how they will keep Beckett and Castle apart now that everyone has told Beckett she needs to hit that. They'd better learn from Bones.
