Castle Season 6
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I wanted to give this a higher rating. Unfortunately, the laughs got lost somewhere after season 4. Bummer! Castle is being restrained by poor writing. Watch him in Firefly if you haven’t already. Beckett is thrown into the same emotional roller coaster every other episode.Not to mention that while she is gorgeous, the model/cop thing is over the top now. Too tan and fake looking for someone who supposedly throws their all into the job. They should have kept Alexis’ original sweetness. Instead they made her rebellious. It’s not working. Looks like Martha is the only one whose character hasn’t gotten totally massacred by bad writing. She’s pleasantly constant. I love Ryan, Espo, Laney and Gates (except for the “sir” thing- nobody better ever call me that!!). They need to leave Esposito’s hair alone, like it was in the beginning. Same with Castle. They managed to get Laney and Espo’s romance right. Don’t now why they didn’t with Caskett. I didn’t even want them to get married by the time they did. No fire there any more. Played out way too long. I’m thinking about foregoing even watching season 8 and just re-watching seasons 1-4 again! That’s where the laughs are.

I started watching this series because I loved Nathan Fillion in the “Firefly” series. I was not disappointed. His immature, wealthy, writer character, with the very active imagination is balanced perfectly by the no nonsense, “If I can’t see it or touch it, it isn’t real”, Becket character. It was inevitable that these two would be attracted to each other. He learns to respect her instincts and knowledge about murder, and she learns that oftentimes, Castle’s weird, off beat, many times outrageous theories are not so farfetched after all. The support actors are all interesting and believable as well. This series does a good job presenting characters you care about, and giving them interesting situations to deal with.

Castle: Season 6 had me worried at the beginning, but you have to love the show. A self-professed “ruggedly handsome” writer who shadow’s a no-nonsense intelligent, and good looking, lady detective is a recipe for good comedy/drama. It reminds me of the “Thin Man” – the playful but effective guy with the classy smart woman in his life. The perfect pairing.
Season 6 started unfortunately with both a proposal, which worked for the “Thin Man” pair, but has gone so wrong with so many current pairings, TMI usually at fault. Anyway, at the same time, the season sent Beckett the lady detective to a new job in D.C., leaving our charming writer to tag along. The fact the woman from “House”, whom I disliked is in most of two episodes made me fear for the future of the series. But soon, the pair were returned to NY, the gorgeous loft Castle calls home, and the the squad room where they interact with Dets. Ryan and Esposito. You can go home again. As the season progresses, the engaged pair’s wedding draws near. Along the way Castle has lovely moments with is daughter Molly Quinn, wonderful in the part, and his mother, spunky Susan Sullivan. Then the wedding day comes, and the season ends in a firey crash. leaving Beckett waiting for the groom to arrive – cliff hanger. This series is a joy to watch.
If you like film noire, my favorite episode is in Season Four. The “Blue Butterfly” is a gorgeous episode with 40s clothing, music and Castle really pulling out the stops as the old style detective. Even Molly Quinn steps up and plays a villan, delivering some believable dialogue with a southern accent. Beckett is gorgeous in gowns that are perfect for her. Even, medical examiner Lanie, steps up and sings and old Helen O’Conner standard, “Comes Love”. This cast is amazing no matter what the script, which are always well written. You never get tired of this pairing of leads either. One can only hope they do not ever make the mistake “Hunter” made, chaning leads. These two are magic, but together.
