I think you hit it right on the mark with this...totally agree.

Exactly!

Mal is...Mal's hard to love--you can't help it, but you know (waaaaay down in your gut) that it's not going to end well. Castle, on the other hand--it might not end well (see "prior wives"), but you actually CAN hold out hope that it might.

Wow - you nailed it. Castle is smart, witty, sensitive when he needs to be, snarky when he can be and just an all around great character. The best thing about the show is how all the characters fit together so well. I love Nathan Fillion, but the how wouldn't have worked without the other great actors, like Stana Katic, and the amazing writing. Sci-fi isn't for everyone, but who doesn't love a good crime show? Especially one with a heart.

This is perfect! I agree that that was one of the best scenes I've ever seen on television. Castle and his daughter have a great relationship. When I first started watching the show I thought "okay, it's kind of shallow but it's fun and it has Nathan and yea, I'll keep watching." Now it's one of my only "must watch" shows. The chemistry between Beckitt and Castle is there, the jokes are hilarious (I love corny jokes) and Castle's relationship with his family is touching and real.

Castle is Mal without the pressure of being a Big Damn Hero. He's a man allowed to sit back and enjoy life. He's the person Mal WANTS to be.

You have hit the nail entirely on the head.

YES.

I agree with everything you said up there! Rick Castle is the man!

Just one little nit-pick, you mentioned Castle as being divorced once, but wasn't he divorced twice?

Agreed, GGD. My wife and I were a bit skeptical of the show at first, but now it ranks right up there with our favorites.

The Halloween ep was great, although our favorite moment of the season so far was when Alexis hauled Castle into the interrogation room and read him the riot act after he snoops around her violin tutor.

I had just started thinking the exact same thing at the beginning of this second season. I loved Mal. LOVED him. But Castle is really much more likable, and I think his family makes him so.
