There is no reason for the decline of Castle except for bad writing. I know writers hit blocks and nothing seems new but to bring in two new writers and let them screw with a well run and well loved show is beyond ridiculous. A top tier author years ago had a well written murder series going and she changed agents and they convinced her to kill off one of the main characters. Good bye book sales. She never recovered. Her rating are in the bottom half of 250 top writers but before the death she was in the top 50. Don’t screw with success. Fire the writers and find some that actually may have actually watched the show prior to writing for the show. It’s so close to jumping the shark right now I am not expecting it to make it to season 9 at the rate you are shedding viewers.

Sorry to say it but Castle got shot in the head by Nathan Fillion himself when in July of season 6 he went Diva and threatened to walk off the show if the “Beckett” mytharch wasn’t stopped and the focus of the show become him! In his own words (according to reports at the time): “The show is called Castle, not Beckett!”
So it was changed only to prove the dyed haired, fat and sagging faced Fillion could not deliver! Katic is the better actor and yes the show is called Castle…and it’s about how he found new life in meeting Beckett!
Stick a fork in it cuz it’s too late to save; but the blame goes to Fillion and ABC catering to a Diva which is all Fillion has become!
Stana Katic will continue to excel at acting and producing and Fillion can continue to try to fit into his Firefly costume at comic-cons…if anyone remembers him.

in my opinion the show should have started with a simple murder which tides to bracken and current villain then bucket makes a choice to stay away from the castle because of villain

this would convince audience why they got separate

No matter what site offers viewers a chance to comment on Castle – the viewers the viewers say the same thing in unison – the story line folks and writers are terrible and not responsive to viewers – even they speak in unison!
People watch or watched Castle because they loved the stories and the characters (season 1-6). Someone from ABC deserves to be fured for tgheir not being

It’s inaccurate to say the show barely survived season 7. Castle was amongst the first of ABC’s shows to be renewed back in May. Its renewal was announced at the same time as that of shows like Scandal, Grey’s, and Once Upon a Time. Shows like Nashville were on the bubble and would be considered “barely renewed” but it’s inaccurate to put Castle in that same category.

I am an angry viewer because both Alexi Hawley & Terence Paul Winter destroyed Caskett!!! There was no reason to break them up. It was totally unnecessary. They both are oblivious & have no first hand experience of what a sexy, happily married couple is like therefore simply cannot write about it onscreen. This winter break, they better fix Caskett or hire past “Castle” writers with better track records of writing Caskett in their former glory–writing on the strength of Stana Katic & Nathan Fillion’s chemistry…which simply means they must be together onscreen–a writer & his muse happily married solving crimes together. Please fix Caskett.

The Castle/Beckett love story waned in S7. That was the beginning of the silly and inane episodes.
I do not care very much about the separation of the couple and I think it could be tolerated better if there were good, well- written well acted stories.
In S7 episode after episode I kept hoping that the next would be a little better. When that season of Castle was in the past, I then wished that S8 would correct the mistakes of the past season and all would be forgiven. Lo and Behold things worsened. They are confusing inane foolishness with story telling.
Mr Marlowe somehow could detect the gaping holes in a script. He knew his characters. Who are these people play acting Castle and Beckett.
Castle is just a big clown and Beckett and her tendency for good acting has been sidelined in order to push forward slapstick. I won’t call it comedy because it elicits absolutely no amusement.
Now you decide to turn Espo and Ryan into lesser clowns. Sometime Beckett/Stana has a look of What the ‘F’ on her face, feeling what I am thinking.
Stop blaming the ratings on Caskett and lay blame on these terrible scripts pieced together in order to turn the show into buffoonery.
Congratulation, you have succeeded.
ps: I will not speak of things Alexis. That would just be too mean.

I wish people would stop with this stupid rumer that Stana & Nathan do not like each other ! That’s a load of crap ! If she did not like him why did she wish him a happy birthday on Twitter ! It’s all the writers & the Show runner ! Terrence winter & his stupid partner Alexi Hayley ! This is all three doing !
Not Stana & Nathen – God knows when this stupid story arc is going too end ( hopefully soon ) but ? If there not back together by the ep mr & Mrs castle I am done ! I am not waiting a whole season before the get back together ( no way !!) i will watch the blind spot instead !

The behind the scenes rumours are looking more more to be true about Stana Nathan and that saddens me more than the separation on the show. I think the show as we knew it is gone. What a sad day for castle fans.
