Are you still with us Castle fans?
After four seasons of will-they-won't-they romantic tension, the ABC drama's Season 4 finale seemingly brought mystery writer Rick Castle (Nathan Fillion) together with his muse, Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic). But getting there was no easy task.
After a murder investigation put Beckett on the trail of Cole Maddox (Tahmoh Penikett), the man who shot her in last year's season-ender, Castle had to reveal the secret he's been keeping all season: He's been investigating Beckett's mother's murder covertly in order to keep her away from the case and therefore keep her alive. The betrayal hits Beckett hard, and it seems the duo's partnership is finished.
But after Beckett nearly dies during another run-in with Maddox — and after her recklessness causes her to resign from the police force — Beckett runs to Castle for a passionate make-out session before ultimately leading him to the bedroom.
So, did Castle and Beckett actually get it on? And what does this mean for their future? We took all our questions to creator Andrew W. Marlowe, who assures us, this is only the beginning.
So, you finally put Castle and Beckett together. Why was now the time?
Andrew W. Marlowe: Ultimately, you get to a fork in the road. If we kept them apart any longer, say another season — after what Castle had put on the table at the end of last season — in my mind, that would have been the death of the series. Then, we would have just been being artificial. They would have become brother and sister, and then we're just ignoring everything that had happened. There comes a point where you have to confront it. ... We wanted to get the point where we resolved it and made a promise for next season that these two are going to have to be dealing with their feelings for one another.
Of course, we didn't see whatever was about to happen in that bedroom. Are you planning to pull a fast one next season?
Marlowe: I have no intention of pulling the rug out from the audience. I think that when that scene ends, everybody is clear on what's about to happen. We don't need to see it, but we know it's going to happen.

Oh, we definitely need to see it. :)
ReplyDeletenever ever enjoyed a finale like this one god it was good and yes it was the right time.
ReplyDeleteWe don't need to see it?????? After 4 years waiting for that, I think we would deserve to see it!! Because, the kiss'scene is great, but it is very fast, and the image is very dark...
ReplyDeleteDon't you agree?
Agreed ! :) After 4 years waiting for that, we DESERVE IT !! :D Just to thank us for our patience, they should show it to us !!
DeleteWE DEFINITELY DESERVE TO SEE IT AND HE BETTER SHOW IT TO US!!! lol
DeleteYep you are right anom 7:45 After 4 years i was left wanting.This important moment in there lives gets what 15 seconds if that.Sorry Marlow never fails to let you down.Didnt feel the love or the passion.
ReplyDelete"Didnt feel the love or the passion."?!?!?!?! PLEASE, WATCH THE EPI AGAIN CAUSE YOU MISSED SOMETHING!!
DeleteJust what is your definition of passion then 7:55AM? How is slamming each other against a door while fiercely making out NOT emotionally charged? I think that it was done right with just enough to get the point across.
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for Season 5 to open this way:
DeleteAlexis comes home from her party, tired but in a great mood.
She looks around -- no dad. Where is he?
She looks in the office -- not there, thinks, decides on a quick sneak peek in the bedroom. She opens the door slightly, looks, get a surprised look on her face, and quickly, but quietly closes the door.
After a few seconds, she looks back at the door, then says, "I guess you found something better than a thousand cable channels and an X-Box, huh, dad?" and walks quietly toward the kitchen.
Just a thought
I do not think we need to see it. Personally, I like the emtional true love rather than the tangable love. I thought the scene was very well done, and we still have seeing the scene and Beckett saying I love you to wait for. I'm very excited for next year :D
ReplyDeleteI think Beckett uttering those three little words will occur in next season's opening episode.
ReplyDeleteI really loved the scene, very emotional. What Beckett says to Castle is so great (really loved the "so sorry" part, actually I loved the whole sentence...). Though I was ashamed that the shots were so cut, we don't have time to really see and enjoy each movement...
ReplyDeletei may not need to see it but i def WANT to see it so please let us see what happens directly after she leads him to the bedroom! lol
ReplyDeleteAhhh I'm still on a high from the episode. It was satisfying on so many levels. Loved the confrontation, the bit about him bringing her coffee to see her smile was one of the sweetest things he could have said. And her reaction was spot on, this is after all Kate Beckett, she won't cave so easily. I liked that she didn't just give in, and I liked that he didn't just give in either, he walked away. But that was needed for her to come to this massive realization that he is her one and done, and if there's anyone out there that deserves her choosing over her mothers murder, it's him. The kiss, oh my, I'm still thinking about it. So passionate and loving. You could feel the tension and the raw passion just by the way castle pinned her and took control. It was a nice change, we always see Beckett in control, but this was castle turning from being the cute puppy following her around to that alpha male claiming what's his. Hot! And you can see thes really nothing Beckett can do, shes just grasping his hair and shoulders, because he has her pinned and is in charge. Loved it. Though it was a little short, it was enough for me.
ReplyDeleteCan you guys imagine them next season, wow I'm having all these thoughts and ideas run in my mind. She will be the boss at work, and he the boss at home...he proved that against that door didn't he.
I see some fans are complaining that there was no passion. I disagree, passion was in abundance, just look at castles eyes, their fiery, and becketts are smoldering, with their deep breaths, and frantic grasping. Passion, that's definitely passion. As for what follows once she leads him, I hope they start season 5 with them at least waking up in each others arms. I would love to see both their faces when the storm has died down, and the sun is up and they see everything a it is. Yeah they did this and maybe they talk a little more. I presume and hope that while in bed, Beckett will tell him she resigned. Would like to see what follows that.
Andrew Marlowe is an amazing show runner. Not many have the guts and insights to do what he does. As he states he had this idea somewhere in season 3, and he stuck to it. Kudos to him and the team. I love how he talks about being realistic with dragging it out, because really a lot of other Showrunners have massively screwed up their leads romance by dragging out too long, yes I'm talking about bones. Sorry bones fans, just my opinion.
I love that he knows how invested fans are, and felt it was time to reward us, and what a reward it was. I can honestly say that seeing them in a relationship, maneuvering through it is going to really really fun and exciting. It's going to make the show so much more and I cannot wait for it. Nathan and Stana have an out of this world kind of chemistry, and that will certainly carry on now that they've done the deed.
Now the long wait begins.
Crazy happy still on a high shipper from Malaysia...
