... which then turned into a bit of a Castle marathon as I went back to some episodes in Season 5 (I figured I've earned the break). It felt so great to rewatcch those episodes!

It's funny because I wasn't that crazy about the show when I first started watching it. I gave it a shot because it had Nathan Fillion and White Collar was on a break, and it turned out to be quite decent - I liked it, but didn't really love it. Then at some point, I stopped seeing it as the "filler" show for when WC isn't on and began to love it for its own merits.

I so enjoyed the finalle, and frankly most of the latest episodes (and season 5... and 4... and those before). I could gush for a long long time, but, just - Beckett. That woman is so freaking amazing. I think she's become my most favorite female TV character - she's smart, gorgeous, driven, tough yet compassionate, with strong morals and really committed to being a cop, yet so extremely human. And then Castle - I loved him so much in the season finale! As I rewatch the show, I'm constantly amazed by just how very much those two have grown in all the best ways. I love the way their relationship has evolved over the series. Then there are all the supporting characters - I adore Castle's family, which is not exactly traditional yet so awesome - and the boys and girls on the station.

I can't believe how fond I've grown of all of them. It's not like the show doesn't have its own share of flaws, but it's grown on me in ways I didn't expect. And more evil cliffhangers! Season 7, you can't come soon enough!!!

I really enjoy Castle.
Though I have to say that the wedding thing the entire season was getting a little on my nerve... And .... THIS! Seriously?!
I couldn't wait to get over it, and... rha!

And more generally I've found this season less fun than the past ones. I think season 4 was the craziest, with all those zombies, superheros, time travels...
And season 5 had also a lot of funny moments while Castle and Beckett were dating in secret.

Though, I do agree with you that the characters have evolved nicely and almost without us noticing. I like that, and I like that they proved Moonlighting wrong. In general, I've found that they've handle the change of dynamic really well, and without those weird unbelievable stories there was in Bones for exemple. And they didn't stall too much (only one season (the fourth one), but at least, they did made it worth it!)
