This show has always inspired great emotions in me. Though I'm more of a Beckett/Stana fan than a Castle/Nathan fan, I have found myself, angry, sad, frustrated, ecstatic, anxious, and so in love with this series. Last night I spent most of the episode thrilled and full of hope. We had Badass Beckett, bumbling but ever dependable Castle (who saved the day again), great energy, suspense action and kisses! I was thinking how I was enjoying the way season 8 was going. Then the last 5 minutes it all came crashing down. It was......mouth dropping, heart wrenching unexpected anger! Ok, that doesn't make sense but that's as close as I can get to how I feel.
My beloved Beckett in the last 5 minutes ripped my heart to threads. The emotions on both Stana and Nathan faces. It's so not fair they never get nominations for their work, they deserve them. Please remember though that this is their jobs, how they make a living. That they are real people who aren't our Caskett behind those characters.
Am I pissed off, DEFINITELY! Do I feel,that this will hurt the series, YES! But the truth is I'm to invested in these characters to quit now. I want resolution and I'm going to get it. So, yes I will criticize what they have done, voice my displeasure in the events that transpired and make my opinions known, but I'm not yet ready to quit. Maybe it's because I need there to be a happy ending. All I know is that last night was the first time ever (Yes, including 6X23) where I was overwhelmed with feelings. I sat staring at the TV for quite a bit and missed the promo in the daze I was in. I may not like it, but good TV does that, or TV that gets ratings does that.
So, after all this babbling and ranting I just want to say. I'll still be here. I hope not alone.

Honestly, crazy as it sounds, and hard as last night was, it wasn't as hard for me as 6x23. Maybe it just felt more real, or less cliched, but i'm truly not as upset as I was then. For some reason, I can deal with this, even if I don't like it. It's still not the trainwreck that 6x23 was.

We are the Castle fandom and family. We quarrel, bicker, fight, stew, cry, dance, love, celebrate, rejoice, laugh, and cheer. We come and go. We have separate lives, interest, personality, and values and while the distance may separate us, we will always be a part of this phenomenon.
Always.

I on the other hand had fewer issues with 6X23. I wasn't happy, but, this seemed more contrived. After all these years Beckett hasn't changed? It doesn't wash with me. The "I'm doing this for us" crap didn't compute. There are better responses to their situation other than I'm going it alone.  The first few episodes are supposed to set the mythology for the year. I do not want to see trust issues between them for a year!!! Hasn't this been played out for the umpteenth time? Not a happy camper. (no pun intended Tycho!) LOL |

My favorite word!  Yep. Not a happy camper either. I think the wheels might have fallen off last night but I'm sure I'll stick it out in some form until it ends even though I may be spittin' nails at my TV while doing so. |

Yes, it's just TV but I'll let you know looking forward to watching Castle brought me through a tough time in my life. |

I'm with you Glo. As aggravated as I am right now, I'm here. Hope my thoughts today weren't too much for everyone. This "family" feels safe enough to share like that. We get each other. For the most part. This is therapy for me. Especially since my husband quit watching. I wish I could type & watch at the same time to participate in the viewing parties, but that's usually not the case. The one time I was able to watch a viewing live with Castle friends was in L.A., "After Hours" aired. That was when a bunch of us met for the Castle Convention out there. As it was, my cousin (she lives out there) got me & iCastket back to the hotel after the episode was half over. But, I have to tell you, that 30 minutes watching live, and the comments that were just blurted out, and the focus and concentration we all had were remarkable and wonderful. I so wish I could sit with all of you in the same room so we could watch together. I know that's in my perfect world. But having this place to come back to, where we share this common bond, and can rejoice or cry, or both, together, well, that's the golden threads that weaves through our lives. These little moments in time where all of us, from all around the world, can come together. I think it's some kind of wonderful. And because of Castle, I have some lifetime loves that I now call treasured friends; that will be in my life for always. I have Castle and our board to thank for that. So yes, I'll be here, with you, and everyone else who is committed until the end. It's been quite a ride, hasn't it? *Big group hug* Thanks for this thread, glo.  |

As much as 623 irked me and ranks as one of my least favorite episodes, I always suspected that we weren't going to get the wedding at the end so when it didn't happen, I wasn't as shocked and angry as many viewers.
802 totally blindsided me. I never, ever saw this coming.

I never, ever saw this coming. Agreed. I suspected we weren't going to get a wedding at the end of 6x23; the only aspect of that that really bugged me was Kate's previously unknown first marriage. But this..........smh |

I'm going to keep remembering "all the feels" that this photo, and all it means, gave me. It's in my downloads labeled, "Always Make-Out Smile".... I'm holding on. I REALLY think the writers underestimated how in love with this couple we ardent fans have been. Maybe the magnitude of our reaction is something they never could have predicted. Anyway.... Always <3  |
