Castle: The Complete Sixth Season

Castle: Season 6 had me worried at the beginning, but you have to love the show. A self-professed "ruggedly handsome" writer who shadow's a no-nonsense intelligent, and good looking, lady detective is a recipe for good comedy/drama. It reminds me of the "Thin Man" - the playful but effective guy with the classy smart woman in his life. The perfect pairing. Season 6 started unfortunately with both a proposal, which worked for the "Thin Man" pair, but has gone so wrong with so many current pairings, TMI usually at fault. Anyway, at the same time, the season sent Beckett the lady detective to a new job in D.C., leaving our charming writer to tag along. The fact the woman from "House", whom I disliked is in most of two episodes made me fear for the future of the series. But soon, the pair were returned to NY, the gorgeous loft Castle calls home, and the the squad room where they interact with Dets. Ryan and Esposito. You can go home again. As the season progresses, the engaged pair's wedding draws near. Along the way Castle has lovely moments with is daughter Molly Quinn, wonderful in the part, and his mother, spunky Susan Sullivan. Then the wedding day comes, and the season ends in a firey crash. leaving Beckett waiting for the groom to arrive - cliff hanger. This series is a joy to watch. If you like film noire, my favorite episode is in Season Four. The "Blue Butterfly" is a gorgeous episode with 40s clothing, music and Castle really pulling out the stops as the old style detective. Even Molly Quinn steps up and plays a villan, delivering some believable dialogue with a southern accent. Beckett is gorgeous in gowns that are perfect for her. Even, medical examiner Lanie, steps up and sings and old Helen O'Conner standard, "Comes Love". This cast is amazing no matter what the script, which are always well written. You never get tired of this pairing of leads either. One can only hope they do not ever make the mistake "Hunter" made, chaning leads. These two are magic, but together.

Good dvd

I waited all summer (very anxiously) to see what would happen after Castle proposed to Beckett; I wasn't disappointed. Some really great episodes in this season and anyone who was a Castle fan but did not watch this series 6 missed some really good ones. The finally was an aggravating yet very interesting hanger; Now I have to fuss all summer to see how Castle, who was certainly kidnapped by the Mob, gets out this one. Hopefully they will get on with the marriage who everyone I know is anxious to see; I wonder, though, if they are going to live with Martha. I hope not; I cannot stand that Moocher even though she is Castles mother. Besides it is not a good idea for newlyweds to live with inlaws, though Alexi is fine. Thank god she got rid of Cow Pi: what an obnoxious creepo!! She would later admit Castle was right in dissing him. Cow Pi reminds me of Dr Sweets..Ick!! Why I wonder Beckett took a job in the Attorney Generals office, especially with Eric Holder as AG. Good Grief, she might as well worked for the Mafia. Anyhow, had it been the FBI, that would have been fine. But now she is back with the NYPD; not a bad police force to work for; I live in NY and think they do a fine job. I had worked for the city, but in Transit. Throughout the season there is the typical Castle humor and good police stories; I just wonder, however, when they get hitched will we lose the little sniping between them which led to laughs. Anyhow, I ordered the DVD for this season from Amazon, but am keeping the episodes in my Video Library until it comes. Five stars I give; Becketts beautiful eyes deserve that alone!! Enjoy

Love love love this show. Season Six does not disappoint in its extra features and behind the scenes info. If you've not watched this show from Season One, you're missing out on a special, one-of-a kind tv show. It has everything: drama, humor, wit, charm, romance and family dynamics. I didn't stumble on this show until it was in it's fourth season, and was immediately hooked. Over that summer, I purchased the previous three seasons DVDs in order to catch up - what a treat!!! My husband is now hooked as well. While you don't have to watch the episodes in order, it helps to do so in order to see how masterfully the writers develop the characters and storyline. I've watched many of the episodes several times, and see something new with each viewing. The writers are EXCELLENT. The on screen chemistry of the two main characters, Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, is absolutely electrifying. The performances they bring to the show each week, and especially in many of the more drama centered shows, are of award winning quality. Just outstanding. Ms. Katic can express more emotion in one look than many actresses can in an entire script. She is THAT good. Mr. Fillion is charming beyond words. They are a treat together. The cast surrounding them are are gems. One aspect of the show that we especially appreciate, since it is a police procedural, is that it is not graphic the way so many police/crime shows are. You aren't going to see very much blood, graphic autopsy scenes or gratuitous sex. Mr. Fillion's character has one of the best on screen father/daughter and son/mother relationships I've ever seen on tv. I believe if you give this show an honest try, from the beginning, you'll be hooked as well. Enjoy!

If you like Castle...

Loved the first three seasons of Castle, even though the casual sex and general amorality have always bothered me a bit. The cast, though, is fun and they work together well, so I overlooked what I didn't like and have enjoyed the show. I have seen a couple of the current season's episodes On Demand. I'm disappointed that Alexis moved in with her boyfriend, and in the couple of episodes I've seen she's not as likeable as in the earlier seasons, but I'll stick with it for one more season to see what happens. The storylines are still interesting and the interaction between Beckett, Castle, and the rest of the cast is still fun to watch, so I think it'll be worth the price to preorder this one. I hope I'm not disappointed.

the dvd case was cracked on the top side. The dvd discs have played well. I have All 8 seasons of Castle. Never saw it on tv... glad I have now.

Its fans have kept 'Castle' one of the most-watched television shows in the United States. In addition, they have kicked off a whole cottage industry: There are now graphic novels, for example, written by fictional author Richard Castle and they are hot properties. The attraction many fans feel for this series stems from the fact that it has a fine ensemble cast headed by Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic; that it is a believable romance as well as a police drama and that its writers deftly mix a quirky brand of humor into their stories. Season Six carries on that tradition in excellent fashion despite the fact that some of the narratives are a little thin on details. At the start of the season, for example, Kate Beckett (Katic) has left the NYPD and now works as a federal agent in Washington. A few episodes later she is back at the NYPD. We know why, of course, but we don't know how she was reinstated as a detective. A couple of minutes of dialogue would have helped make that transition smoother. The narratives are interesting enough, however, that the lack of some small details such as that one can be forgiven. The episodes in Season Six range from the downright scary to humorous. They also give us some long-awaited backstory about some of the characters and give Katic a chance to show that Beckett can be something more than a by-the-book cop. In one scene, for example, she is a woman who is deeply in love with Castle while in another she demonstrates an almost feral ferocity when she is facing what might be her death at the hands of a couple of hired thugs. The Season Six episodes also herald what will likely be some new story lines that develop in Season Seven. I say this because some old story lines - such as the one involving the murder of Beckett's mother - which have been fixtures in the first five seasons finally get wrapped up. Added to that is the fact Alexis, Castle's precocious daughter, is now demonstrating a degree of independence that she had not previously shown; Castle's mysterious father shows up again in a memorable episode that might - at long last - provide some closure for his mother; and Det. Kevin Ryan and his wife have a new baby. All in all, Season Six is a smash and I, for one, can hardly wait until I can get Season Seven.

殺人事件の犯人を捕まえるのがテーマですが、内容的にはCastle とBeckett のロマンスが中心です。それを中心に、家族、チーム、その他の人間関係が重要な要素です。Castle はS1から、殺人事件がテーマであるのに趣味を悪くせず軽妙に面白くできているバランスの良さがありました。今でもそれが一番の特徴でしょう。感情的にもサスペンス的にも緊迫したり、見たくなくなるような場面は少ないです。緊張する場面も少く、つまらなく感じる人もいるでしょう。疲れていたりして、気楽に楽しもうという人には最適です。S6は脚本も質が高く安定していて、不自然に感じたり、つまらないエピソードはあまりありません。 ここ数シーズンの傾向として1シーズンに時代物が一篇、全体的には気楽とはいえ緊迫したエピソードが2,3篇入ります。個人的には時代物はわざとらしすぎるように感じるのですが、皆とワイワイ見たりしたりするには楽しいと思います。今シーズンは日本文化が中心的な役割を負っているものがあり、ちょっとステレオタイプかなとは感じました。シーズン最後は宙ぶらりんで終わるのは、アメリカでは大人の事情というかお約束です。 いつも思うのですが、興味ある人にはぜひS1も見て欲しいです。そこが始まりであり、軽さ、面白さ、会話を含めてやりとりが秀逸のシーズンです。

Another fine season of Castle for the home library. I must confess that I am a dedicated "Castle Fan". I saw all these episodes when they aired and several times again on re-runs. It is still wonderful to have the annual disc and see the stories without interruption. They do flow better without distracting breaks. The Castle series is outstanding among the "small-screen cop-shows" for the depth of its stories and the sense of humor among the characters. While there is always a murder, the series does not focus or eploit the cruelty or violence but rather focuses on unraveling the story of the characters and why and how they came to be affected. Seldom does the tale unfold linearly and there are many twists in the thread to keep the viewer in suspense all the way through. The solutions are achieved through a synergy of Castle's imagination and Beckett's relentless persuit of the evidence and clever deduction. The magical synergy between the two, and the rest of the team, continues in these episodes. The year begins with the cases at Beckett's abortive new job in DC, return to NYC with the Castle #1 Fan and continuing investigations of time travelers, a baby in the church and the world of fashionistas. The "Time Will tell", the "Dressed to Kill" and "That 70's show" were among my favorites for their sense fo humor and fun in the story. Beckett is truely stunning in her modeling of the wedding dress. The Castle viewer comes away with a smile on their face and a happy heart from the successful unravelling of the story. The episodes are thus good for watching to clear one's head of the cruel gunfights, fighting, magic powers and human carnage that seems to be the mainstay of much of the other small-screen programming available these days. In the season 6, the "Casket" relationship matures as the two grow ever closer togther and the season ends with the veritas demise of Becket's mother's murderer and the many surprises leading to the much anticipated wedding in the last episode. This itself has its twisty story, and is not consumated as Castle is kidnapped in the last scene. (As this is written after the start of season 7, we know that Castle is found safely and the fascinating stories continue.) The disc also contains the usual interviews and descriptive discussion of some of the episodes. There is an engaging session of "Castle Favorites" including the most memorable Beckett Coat and the best of Martha's motherly advice. It is also good to see the usual bloopers and some of the scenes that did not make the final cut. The bloopers help to make the actors seem more human and one can see the sense of playfullness among the crew that carries over to the programes and helps make them so much fun to watch. As usual, the series achieves a happy balance between interesting stories told with a sense of humor and the development of a deep relationship between two outstanding people. Castle: always and forever. Highly recommended for viewing. .

Très satisfait merci

This season had lots of episodes that kept me glued to the TV. I kept wondering if this season would wrap off all the story lines but there are a few new ones that have me wishing that I could get to season 7 without having to wait for it to arrive. Castle fans make sure you watch this season. You will love it.

事件の内容も面白いし、kateとcastleの関係も目を離せない。あと1話、あと1話と止まらなくなります。
