That was pretty cute. Better than the ads led me to believe it would be. POPCORN TV, I LOVE YOU.

Yeah, I thought this was rather adorable! Both actors seem to be really good, and I love the relationship between Castle and Alexis. I guess we'll see where this goes. I hope the ratings were good.

Same here - I watched it last night (in streaming HD - very nice!) and enjoyed it very much. Beckett had a few lines of dialogue that were very cliche, but she is smart and sassy and won't let Castle charm her ... well, not too much! I think this will be a fun show.

Some of the lines were cliche, but I felt like the actress could handle better if she was given better. Actually, she reminded me a lot of the psychologist from Cupid in the 90s. Looks a bit like her.

I thought the discussion at the writer's table was way too pat for me, too simplistic, but Castle's character outside of that was entertaining. I did like his "TELL ME YOU SAW THAT!?!?!" reaction after taking the guy down. NF can do excited glee so easily and make it look fun. I also enjoyed the peak into his family life... although we saw him signing chests and being like a cad with his language, he looks like he's a pretty docile Dad character at home, whose mother gets more action these days than him.

To add:

More to the point, I believed Nathan's characterization of a smug, full-of-himself, cheeky, sometimes-charming-when-he's-not-being-smug writer.

Nathan does smug, full-of-himself but charming really well :P

And I loved that we actually got to see his family. I hope we get to see more personal stuff about the detective lady... what was her name?

Yes! Also: love your icon! It makes me want a BroTP version...

It's kind of in the same category as Leverage, Monk, Psych, and Stargate[s]: fun, easy tv that I can enjoy without it being a Huge Emotional Drama for me. =) Plus, Nathan F. was HOT. One of my RL friends who hardly ever talks fandom texted me today just to say "Did you watch Castle?? Captain Mal was so hot!!!"
