He is, and I also like the actor from Ugly Betty, so I really want the show to be good.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
When the previews indicated that Castle was going to be a suspect I fully expected it to be a frame job by 3XK since 3XK was obviously set up to return at some point (and might again!). I still gasped when Jerry showed up. I wasn't expecting him to saunter right into the precinct to taunt Castle!

Thrive to spite them
Yeah that was surprising when he came in. And also I was glad that it was left open and they didn't try to be ambiguous about it with everyone thinking he was dead but no body.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Still no explanation of how Castle's fingerprints got on the crime scene before he showed up.

Yes, there was, something about the real killer lifting a print at Castle's apartment and using it to make a latex duplicate that would let him plant the print.

I haven't watched Castle at all this season because of the romance. Well, I did watch one episode, and I was so annoyed at the "I know we're pretending to still be interested in other people but I'm very jealous that you were flirting with that other person" thing. And are they still dragging out the Great Mystery of Beckett's Mom's Death? to be honest I'm not that thrilled with Castle being serious, there are tons of serious crime dramas. I liked the quirkiness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm find it quite funny, but I always have--I'm not sure if it's regained former funny. I think most hour long shows are expected to have stakes these days, and Castle is no exception.

I think Castle has managed to maintain its funny, quirkiness with the romance, which was something I was worried about.

Plus, much like the Mentalist (tune in for Cho & Rigsby even when Jane irritates), there is still the awesomeness of Ryan and Esposito.

I am by no means a Holmes purist, but it always irritates me in any adaptation or pastiche when the Holmes character/analogue makes deductions based on human behavior. The Holmes in my head is all about physical evidence.
Currently watching last night's Elementary, which has not annoyed me as much as last week's did, yet.
