I follow 24 blogs and they are all Castle related.

I need more on my dash so if you put up things about Castle, Firefly, or Bones reblog or like this so I can follow more of you wonderful people.

This is why Castle is my favorite show. In every episode Castle is always Castle. If you watch the show then you know what I mean. You see a lot of Nathan Fillion in Castle. So, naturally, Castle is funny and slightly off his rocker (in a good way, he’s not crazy or anything). He’s refreshing. When compared to Beckett in the series, he is the class clown and she’s the straight A student. They work good together. Occasionally the two have swapped roles. Like when Beckett played jokes on him when he was being superstitious about a curse in season two. She rigged his chair to fall apart. She had the bomb squad rig the coffee machine to be all noise with no harm. And she loved doing it. My personal favorite was the episode “The Lives of Others”. For those who don’t know, Beckett set up a whole escapade in the neighboring apartment complex while Castle was cooped up in the house. She made him believe he witnessed a murder and that she was next. Sounds awful actually. But, the actual episode isn’t as cruel sounding. It’s actually sweet and shows how much she cares for him. She never would have done that for anybody else. Let me take a moment to say Stana Katic. I had never heard her name before I watched Castle. And I am sorry that’s the case. She is wonderful. I’ve seen her in interviews and videos of her signing autographs and I’ve seen what other people who have met her have said about Stana. Nothing has been negative. She is someone that you could have a real conversation with in the subway. (I don’t live near a subway so I guess I’m assuming some people actually converse on subways.)
Back to the show.
Castle draws me in every week and some people wonder how I can watch a show over and over again. But there are so many references and little jokes that make you want to watch. You could rewatch an episode three times and still get something out of it. But the show would be nothing without the writers and, of course, Andrew Marlowe. They do a fantastic job. They kind of shook things up for awhile, you know, the season six finale and season seven premiere. But, they have been kind. They have done a show that has run for seven seasons. I hope it would run for seven more, but every episode is a gift. So if the show ends after this season or continues driving ahead, I’m here for the ride.
Now, I have to mention that above all, a show does not last if the cast do not have an off the camera chemistry. We may not always see it, but we know it’s there. They do not always hang out or anything, they are at their jobs and like many, probably like to keep the job and their personal life separate. But watch the bloopers for the seasons and you will see, they are friends.
I don’t know how they did it but they did. They have created a show that I actually like and want to watch every day. If I had a long day, I want to watch Castle. If something good happened, I want to watch Castle. You get the point.
In a side note, I feel that TV networks don’t give new shows a chance. Don’t get me started on Firefly and Fox. But honestly, a show needs more than a few episode ratings and more advertising before you pull the plug.
And I’m glad that ABC stuck it out with Castle (whatever the ratings were in the beginning). They struck gold. And as Castle said to to Beckett, “If you don’t believe in even the possibility of magic you’ll never find it”. So thanks Andrew Marlowe, the castle crew, and of course the other giddy Castle fans (besides me) who believed.
