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.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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 a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Thrive to spite them
Connie there hasn't been anymore of that aspect of their relationship and they haven't really brought up anything about Kate's Mom.
It's still quirky. There's some serious but not a lot. And I was worried they were going to drag out the whole secret relationship thing. But at this point everyone knows except Gates. And everyone found out at different times/different ways. Castle and Beckett still interact the same way they always have.
I think they are handling it a lot better than Bones.

Preach it.

Person's of Interest: I love the dog they've added to the cast. He's adorable.

They basically closed the book on Kate's Mom. We know, and Kate knows, who did it. There's closure of sorts, but like this week, room to revisit if they want to.
Re: last night's Elementary, I am having a hard time buying that Joan had her license suspended for, apparently, one patient dying on the table and the way she's been written WRT her medical skills and training, given the guidelines that the New York Medical Board has for such things. Also, that a resident would be stealing morphine to go to sleep, rather than using one of the many, many other effective substances that hospitals have, or just getting a fucking 'script for Ambien. Ain't that hard, writers.
