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.

Yay, you didn't hate it XD

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!!!"

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...
