I did! This is two or three years in a row they passed on awesome potential for the new season to revert to the status quo after, like, one episode.
That doesn't sound very fun for you. Maybe you should give up.
Where do you place the over-under for their fornication practice becoming public knowledge? I'm going with 8 episodes before the majority of the main cast becomes aware (with the understanding that a particular individual might be excluded for reasons, Gates or Alexis being the most likely candidates)
I've got Lanie figuring it out almost immediately, followed by the mother and then either Gates or the Boys.
What will be the means of said exposure? Getting caught in flagrante? Blurted disclosure after too many botched lies or cover stories lead family or coworkers to start suspecting worse? Friends & family discerning from their comportment exactly what is going on and humoring them by pretending to believe the one was trying to brush a stain off the other's pants? Calmly and frankly disclosing the new status like mature adults and civilized human beings?
I don't know, I want to see. XD
Yeah, that last one was pretty far-fetched.
True. That would be no fun. I hope there is something awesome for Halloween. The "I am giving you the bird" scene is so funny.
What role will Castle's father play, or be revealed to have played in the conspiracy surrounding Beckett's mother?Come on! You know it's coming.
I do! I am excited about that too. I kept vacillating between thinking maybe the Michael Smith character would be him, but then deciding that it couldn't be that obvious.
Over-under before Alexis snaps and goes all substance abuse/college slut? Six episodes. I thought they might actually hold off until March and Spring Break time, but they already investigated a case related to a Girls Gone Wild expy, so that's unlikely to come up again, and no need to save the Alexis connection to have relevance to his personal life.
Actually, they might surprise me. I don't think they will go that way with her character, other than maybe an episode or two where it is an issue. We will see. I am kinda guessing that she won't be around as much.
How many episodes this season will feature major relationship crises or milestones (alternatively, similar milestones in OTHER relationships causing Castle and/or Beckett to worry about theirs)? My guess is four. Not based on anything hard and fast, but four is more than I hope and less than I fear.
They could just watch an episode or two of Bones together. That would cover that.
Would you prefer the characters go on with their normal lives and snail's-pace discovery of the secrets of Beckett's mother, only just happening to be boinking like adolescent monkeys, or would you rather that the show devotes significant thematic episodes to the relationship itself? As an example, I would call the first episode an example of the first kind. They did it, and have this thing, but the episode was totally about solving/finding whatever, and the actions of the characters were not governed or motivated by the current intimacy level of the relationship. Alternatively, I would call the finale an example of the latter, to a certain degree - despite the action and movement on the mother-murder story, ultimately that episode was about their relationship and those considerations governed their choices, reactions and decisions.
I really just want to watch the show. I'm sure I'll have plenty of judginess when the time comes. I definitely liked the way they played this episode, if that is an answer.
Of course, they could just use the relationship for genuine character exposition and development, instead of forcing the characters to jump through plot hoops, but that's a little bit much to ask...
We shall see!
I really enjoyed the season opener of Castle (5).

Quick survey for new season. (also, I believe you mean "points." Lines have to go somewhere)

Who says I don't enjoy it? (And if I were a misanthrope, ruining it for others would be the point)
