"Castle," home to the ruggedly handsome 'Writer Boy' Richard Castle and his beautiful muse Detective Kate Beckett of the NYPD. Some may not know what the television show "Castle" is, but you should. It is a crime drama television series currently on it's eighth season on ABC. Starring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, "Castle" explores all kinds of unusual homicides and #Caskett 's quite unsual partnership of his creative imagination and her detective skills. The show also features Castle's daughter Alexis, who at times is more of an adult than her father, along with Castle's mother Martha, and Kate's partners Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan who always have her back.
Fans know there are many amazing moments from the show, especially with the eight seasons of episodes so far, that's a list that could go on forever. Here are 11 of the best moments from the show, IMHO.
Spoiler alert!
1. Caskett's First Meeting (Season one, episode one)
It's no secret that these two didn't get along at first. Castle was a major man child who infuriated Beckett. She was not impressed with his looks and charm, and just wanted to solve the case. They first met because a serial killer was killing people and staging the crime scenes how Richard Castle did in his books. Kate Beckett, being a secret hardcore fan of his books, recognized them right away, and asks for his help to solve the case. In the end, Castle, with some help from his friend, the Mayor, gets to shadow Kate indefinitely for his next book, and that is the beginning of #Caskett.
2. Ryan's Undercover Mission (Season five, episode 18)
This episode ("The Wild Rover) uncovered a lot about Detective Kevin Ryan's past, and showed he was no one to mess with. This episode was totally out of character for him, which is probably why I love it so much. He goes undercover as Fenton O'Connell and immerses himself into the Irish Mob. He goes back to a dangerous, dark part of his history he hoped was behind him in an effort to solve a murder. And in the end, it shows that no matter what, your friends always have your back when you need them most.
3. Natalie Rhodes as Nikki Heat (Season three, episode 11)
Heat wave is getting turned into a movie, and the actress cast to play Nikki Heat comes to shadow Kate. Natalie Rhodes basically becomes a Detective Beckett 2.0 and hilarity ensues.
4. I just want you (Season four, episode 23)
This, along with probably every Caskett shipper, is probably one of my favorite episodes of the show, if not my favorite. It's when all of the pent up feelings from the past four seasons finally come to a head and it's amazing. The whole episode ("Always") is great, but especially the ending scene.
5. I don't look, I hunt (Season four, episode seven)
There's so much I love about this episode ("Cops and Robbers"). From Beckett threatening the bank robber if he even touches a hair on Castle's head, to Beckett going to a case that isn't even in her job description just because Castle is involved, Castle using Morse code because he knows Beckett will understand, and especially the end scene, where Beckett goes in and saves Martha and Castle and you can just see the chemistry between them. It's impossible to list all the amazing moments from this episode.
6. To the extraordinary KB (Season two, episode five)
This episode may not seem like anything spectacular, but this scene in specific makes the episode in my opinion. It shows the beginning of their feelings for each other. And also the ending scene to this episode, where they run of into the sunset together to solve more crimes as the mayor has insisted that the NYPD continues to allow Castle to shadow Beckett.
7. The killer is still alive (Season two, episode 17)
Castle runs into a burning building to save Beckett-- that is all.
8. Kate, I love you. (Season three, episode 24)
Kate is speaking at Captain Montgomery's funeral when all of a sudden, Castle notices something. Kate is about to get shot and he runs and tries to save her from the bullet but he is too late. She gets shot, and he decides to tell her he loves her in case he doesn't get the chance to again. Cue all the tears.
9. He deserves it (Season five, episode 21)
This is a pretty intense episode, with one of the best endings in my opinion. It features Kate standing on a bomb, with Castle standing beside her despite Kate's insistence for him to go away. It also features a montage of some of the best scenes from their relationship and of course their signature "Always." In the end, they find out the Captain knows about them despite trying to keep it a secret. Here she says one of the best lines "Oh, for heaven's sake, Detective, just kiss the man!"
10. Katherine Houghton Beckett, will you marry me? (Season five, episode 24)
She is about to leave for a big job offer, the kind that makes a career, he gives her a speech about them and breaking down her walls, and then proposes at their swings. And of course there is a cliffhanger to wait and see what her answer is!
11. Richard Edgar Alexander Rodgers Castle... (Season six, episode one)
"Yes...Yes I will marry you." Swoon. Caskett forever, they are just so perfect together! And that ring is just gorgeous!
These are just a few of my favorite moments and episodes from the television series "Castle."
