Wow! That was a good finale. I felt bad for Ryan having to make the choice between his friends/colleagues and following protocol. I also felt bad for Esposito for having to choose between his buddy Ryan and following the idiot detective that is Beckett. I'm only saying that from how she is presented in the show. She reads the situation wrong, blaming innocent suspects, in every episode and Castle has to bail her out.
The fight between Helo and Kate was freaking awesome! First, I love the way Tahmoh Pinikett moves like a Thai kick-boxing fighter. Second, I loved the way he barely pulled punches (literally) when Kate foolishly thought she had a chance of beating that guy. lol
I hated that Castle gave in to Kate when she came to him. It showed Kate for what she is, a selfish childish woman. She ignored and lied to Castle for over a year, ignoring her own feeling while she was "working it out" while sleeping with another guy. But when her life is threatened she is in touch with her feelings for Castle? No thank you!
To his credit Castle did try push her away but got caught in the moment and the carnal drive took over his senses. I can't fault him for that but I hope he kicks her out in the morning. lol Which I know won't happen.
What was the deal with the opening? The usual theme wasn't there and the colors were different.
Bring on Castle P.I.!
