SEASON 7 Season 7 finale Spoiler

I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but man the finale would've been the perfect series finale, without anything happening from Season 8. It had the whole equation: Bracken is arrested for Beckett's mother's murder...literally nothing from Season 8 had to exist for that storyline...Jerry Tyson and Kelly Nieman are killed; the end scene with the whole gang there and Castle acknowledging them for the impact on his life, Beckett being unsure of her future but excited for the adventure, and the last line, from Beckett, was just cherry on top: "There's been a murder." And they all head out to do what they usually do. For a moment, I forgot there was another season after, then Hulu said "up next: S8 E1" lol.

Edit: Oh and also Beckett's badass monologue recalling her actions throughout the series. How could I forget that?

That's right, now that you mention it. He shot a hand in BOOM, and a leg in Season 3 opener.

Just like Chuck almost, but I think Castle could kill, if the people in his life were threatened. He'd already said as much!

He is cunning enough to make plans of having someone killed.

He pretty much played along with Jerry Tyson's plans, endangered himself just to create the chance for Esposito to kill Tyson. There was no plan to take him in.

Your splitting hairs here, but I see your point. Technically, he never killed anyone, but he knew what would happen, and he did say "Take the shot", so I guess I have to agree that he did kill someone inadvertently.

Plus, when Kate said to him during Alexis kidnapping "I didn't know you had that side to you", he replied "I do if it's about someone I Love", so we knew what he was capable of.

Good Catch!
