not loving this past season, it's like the writers didn't know what the do once they are engaged to be married- still love the show, just this season has lacked the spark of the first 3 seasons, and they need to rediscover that spark or season 7 could be it. that said it is still one of abc's most watched shows (10million people a night) and has a huge revenue stream- books syndication etc.
i bring it back to season 5 the ending fed arc and beginning fed arc of season 6
those 5 episodes imo had beckett acting out of character, and a lot of fans hated that she took the job, myself included, to me that was not her- EVERY SINGLE TIME (except for tick tick tick/boom- and even then she started disliking it) she has had to deal with feds, she hated it, yet suddenly working as a fed is her dream job? bah..
the other issue this year was...Alexis's story arc, i mean this is a down to earth serious girl who loves her dad and she brings THAT home to live. umm not just no but HELL no. alexis's character was destroyed ,she went from #1 daughter to bitch-i hated her and pi thoughout the season, and the episode on her redemption,, just eww it was ok but i want to see beckett and castle not alexis and castle. totally out of character via the past 5 years of having her one the show.
my fav show of the year is probably #1 fan though there are some really good ones, i LIKED the 70's show, i found it hilarious.
the other issue i have is with the writing overall of the non case related aspect of the show.
1- no romance between beckett and castle for entire EPISODES.. this is your fiance, this is your partner in life and an entire show, not one kiss? in bed,. 3 feet apart?
it is like the writers have no clue.
morning scene where they are waking up. have beckett and castle be snuggled together in bed. beckett "topless" if bare shoulders so like it SEEMS like they ,,,you know... had sex. castle topless as well, getting a case have it like umm season 3 when javi and lanie were woken up...something like THAT would make the fans giddy..
arrggghhh... love the show, writing the relationship has to improve....
