It seems as if Castle just started and here we are at the season finale. It did just start, in a way, as it didn't have a full season worth of episodes. ABC hasn't made a decision on the show yet, but we'll find out on May 19 whether or not Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic will come back next season and do their banter.
The worst part of last night's episode? The preview at the end for next week's season premiere of The Bachelorette.

It is a surprisingly good show that kept me hooked for every episode.
If they bring it back, I'll watch it.

I haven't watched it yet, but this is definitely one of my sleeper hits of the late season.
Great cast and dynamics make this show very fun for me. I've not watched much of Bones, or anything similar, but the Fillion/Katic chemistry is way more entertaining than the Bones version.
Bring it back with the Chuck!

This show -- like other midseason debuts (The Unusuals, Southland, Cupid) -- sat on my DVR and eventually disappeared in favor of other, superior dramas (Breaking Bad, Rescue Me, SVU, CI). There are only so many hours in a day!
The one episode I did see -- the second, I think -- was OK, but it didn't blow me away. I think The Unusuals has more potential.

Could somebody tell me the name of the artist of the song at the beginning of the episode? (pack up your troubles in an old kit bag). TIA!

Just watched -- sounded like Nellie MacKay to me, but I may be wrong.

I wanted this show to be darker- I was really looking forward to it. I was expecting "Seven" with the dark humor of Firefly. I thought it would be a season long arc of a serial killer using Castle's books as inspiration. I was very disappointed when the original mystery was over so fast.
I have continued to watch the show, and I like it- the ensemble is nice- especially his family. But the whole thing is a little light for me. I love Nathan Fillion, but he's a little flip- I want him to be a little more tortured. I feel like it's trying to be Bones, but not quite getting there.

And that's exactly why I like the show... light and fun and easily digested in an hour.
Everything else you're looking for would, in my opinion, spoil the pace and snappiness of the characters.
Besides, there's already enough "real" dramas on to satisfy the dark side. This is just what Mondays needed :)

I love the show!! I didn't think I would but I'm hooked. I love the way he is with his daughter, his mother is a hoot and the chemistry between the two characters is awsome!! C'mon you guys already cancelled "Life" and I adore that show as well.

I've been enjoying this show. And I'm not sure what to expect with the fact that Castle went ahead and dug into Beckett's mom's murder after she told him to drop it.

If I could write Castle's explanation to Kate for why he did what he did it would include the fact that he consulted the pathologist before actually bringing up the subject to her. If he had known what it would do to her beforehand, he would have left it alone. And when he contacted the pathologist to tell him to forget about his request, that's when he was told the Dr.'s findings. And I would write it that the Dr. felt professionally obligated to turn over his findings to the authorities, thereby partially taking things out of Castle's, & Beckett's, hands. The case would be automatically reopened. To all you fanfic writers out there, feel free to use my ideas. I'm not a writer. If a renewal announcement is made tomorrow (& I won't believe it 'til I hear it then) then there will obviously be some level of forgiveness on Beckett's part. Although, wouldn't it be awesome to see the jealousy on Beckett's face if Castle started shadowing some other rival female detective? Ooh, there's another fanfic idea, people.

This show is outstanding. It is one of the smartest, best written and performed dramas on TV. My wife and make a point of watching each Monday. We hope it comes back. The chemistry between the two leads reminds me of "Moonlighting" only with better stories and supporting cast. Bring Castle back!!

I am officially a fan of this series. It didn't start off all that great, but the writing improved and no one can deny Castle's two leads have great chemistry. Heck, this episode gets an A+ just for getting the very underused Robert Picardo to guest.
I hope ABC gives Castle another season, if for no other reason so I can find out about the murder of Beckett's mom.

I don't normally watch crime procedurals, but I really looked forward to this show every week.

I totally agree with "Freak Mojo". It is a wonderful, light, funny mystery and a joy to watch. There is enough mystery but not all the blood and gore that I love in CSI's so is just fun!!!! Please, Please bring it back. Love the mother and daughter as well and the whole group is great.

What a way to get Fillion into the serious limelight. Anyone who's seen him before knows he fantastic, but now he has even more exposure and in a good show that I am pretty sure is not a flash in the pan. Especially after the season finale arch of the mother's death good tie in to indicate they have plot to keep the show going.
