I haven't watched last night's season finale yet (I think it's the finale? They still have the postponed episode that had the bomb plot), but I LOVE CASTLE!!! No, it's not usually the deepest of shows, plot-wise (and they had a couple of stinkers this season where I was yelling at the screen because the cops were written deliberately obtuse just to delay finding the killer, which was HORRIBLE), but the actors are amazing, and as you say, they write the characters and their relationships very realistically. The writers were smart to take their time putting Castle and Beckett together, but they knew (and said in interviews) that it was something that they had to tackle because it just didn't make any sense to leave their main characters in limbo forever. It wasn't realistic and would just piss off the viewers. It's been 25 years since Moonlighting and I think people are finally starting to realize that the problem wasn't with letting the characters get together, but with the writing, actors, and a host of other issues.
