I made a decision a few years ago
May. 8th, 2012 09:31 amNot to watch Castle. For some reason, I decided to watch this season's finale, even though I'd never seen an episode of the show before.
Oh my god, did I make the right call initially.
So I guess this was part of a long arc having to do with Kate searching for the man who killed her mother. In previous episodes, she'd been obsessed with finding the killer, and had even been shot as part of an attempt to thwart her investigation. At some point, Castle had - without her knowledge - made a deal for her life. The bad guys agreed they'd back off if Castle thwarted her from continuing the search.
In this episode, she revives her investigation. Castle comes clean about his earlier actions, but says they were justified because he loves her and wanted to keep her safe. She says he had no right and she's not a child - he betrayed her by interfering with the most important thing in her life; he says that if she wants to continue, fine, but he won't partner with her anymore because he doesn't want to see her get killed.
She continues the investigation on her own. She fights a bad guy, loses, he throws her off a roof and she only survives because Castle shows up and saves her. ETA: Correction - apparently I wasn't paying close enough attention. She thought it was Castle - she thought she heard him - but it turned out it was another male character who came to her rescue.
Her police captain then suspends her, and in response, she quits. She visits Castle in his apartment, tells him that she doesn't care about the investigation anymore, she almost died and realized that all she cares about is her love for him. Then they have romantic sex.
I swear to god, this was Fringe-"I throw my identity away for your love"-level of squick. EEeeeewwww.......
