... 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!!!
