Is the Castle Pairing on Par?

Well yes after three seasons of the old 'will they/won't they' questions, the inevitable became 'evitable' (my word ha) at the end of season 4 when Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) finally got it together and spent the night together.  So it was game set and match for him, but what about her.  She was always adamant about not doing the 'deed' and he always wanted to as soon as he laid eyes on her.  (Perhaps 'laid' isn't exactly the right choice of words here, but never mind.)

SO how will their relationship fare when we all know such pairings never last and always have a rocky outcome.  As for calling them Caskett, well that suggests a doomed future.  It was the same in other shows, Remington Steele, when they got together it made the show go downhill.  (Okay I will forever harp on about this show!) Will this be the same?  In short, the answer is 'no.'  Today's audiences are different to a certain extent and demand such relationships with their lead actors, (I don't) so it seems rating will be the same, don't know about the stories though.

Andrew Marlowe, executive producer said in an interview with Xfinity. "in terms of the Castle/Beckett relationship, we felt we owe the audience the opportunity to see them wake up in the morning and see how they both felt about what happened the previous night." Guessing Castle will have plenty to say and Beckett will have plenty to keep quiet about swearing him to secrecy.  Apparently Marlowe said the two will be happy about their relationship and have to keep it under wraps cos of the NYPD rules forbidding people who work together to engage in a relationship.  Ryan and Esposito will of course get competitive and try and put the pieces together and Lanie as she's so clued in on whether Beckett is getting any will probably figure it out even before they do.

There's also an episode where the pair end up at castle's place in the Hamptons.  "Despite the well laid plans for a romantic weekend away, they end up enmeshed in a murder investigation...In honor of Jessica Fletcher always having a body drop no matter where she goes, that episode is called Murder, He Wrote."  When Five aired Castle in the UK, they had a play on the Murder She Wrote, line too. Calling the show, "Murder HE Wrote!"

As for us here, we haven't even gotten past season 2 yet!  SO it''ll be a wait for the DVDs to come out at the end of season 5, cos not everyone has satellite/cable.
