5 Reasons Why I Have an Undying ‘Castle’ Crush

I used to think “Castle” was a great show. It had ridiculous plot lines that didn’t take themselves too seriously, some fantastic character development and plenty of witty banter. But based on last season’s finale, I fear, come Sept. 19, my life won’t be the same. 

Here are 5 reasons why I’m still going to keep watching it anyway, in spite of myself.

1.  Sexual Tension 
I don’t watch this show because it’s good, necessarily, I watch it because of the misguided anticipation that someday, when the FCC isn’t looking, Castle and Beckett will fuck in a truck stop bathroom in a fit of unbridled passion. I understand that this will never happen. And even if they do get together, it will probably be in an excessively disappointing way and I’ll be left with the same blue balls I was left with after “The X-Files.” But, whatever, sexual tension is great.

2.  Castle’s Blue Shirts 
He’s almost always wearing a blue shirt and it is a fantastic color on him. I don’t even care that he’s gained a little old-man weight. The combo of Castle and the color blue is like riding a snowboard made of Snickers down an avalanche of dreams come true.

3.  “Firefly” References
There have been a surprising number of “Firefly” references in “Castle” and I find this fantastic. I mean, half of their audience are probably “Firefly” fans who only watch so that Nathan can earn enough money to buy the rights to the show and continue its glory. I commend them in this mission, especially if they can stomach next season, which has a good chance at being horrendous.

4.  Beckett
She’s hot, she kicks ass and Castle would totally let her put him in a dog collar and lead him around her apartment, barking, if that’s what she wanted. She’s a strong, relatable character and I like to fantasize that I’m her, same as I did with Scully. #girlporn

5.  Nathan Fillion
I want to lick that man.
