This thread is for discussion of Castle and Beckett's relationship…the only thing that I ask is that you please stay away from the topic of them sleeping together. Yes I realize that it will most likely happen, but for me or at least out of respect for the characters keep it clean here.

My ideas of course are in my fanfiction on FanFiction.net under the username Alice-Jazzfan. The link is http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2011559/ .

Oh sorry! I didn't see that you had already commented in there. My bad!

Haha I have a reason for doing this, sorry but I did have a problem with where the conversation that was going on, so instead of being annoying and complaining about it like I have been I just made a new thread. 

I'm glad you did the other thread was getting long to follow. After my math class I'll try and get some time to check out your link.

Wasn't the actor who played Frank, Johnathan LaPaglia, just in the episode Love Me Dead? He played the creep who got capped at the end? Wow…i just sounded so gangsta. Who am i kidding i am too white to do that. But i digress……

I am looking forward to thier relationship progressing. I mean in the sense of Castle and Beckett actually getting to know each other and having some more of those great scenes like in A Death in the Family where he is actually honest about what he thinks instead of covering them up with flirting an innuendos. Don't get me wrong, those our hilarious and keep me entertained but I think Beckett  respond's more to the sincere honest side of Castle that we all know he has ( like in when she mentions it is refreashing to see him as a father) while still appreciating that he can sometimes be an immature goofball. And come on…lets be honest those moments make us all go…..awwwww.  

But i will admit that i am kind of curious as to what jealous Beckett in 2.13 is going to look like. I hear Stana was excited about playing that side of her Character as an actress so naturally she is going to blow us out of the water.

Yeah he was! He's awesome! Was sad to see him as a bad guy…DUh about the blowing out of the water….it's Stana! She does that by standing there!

So completely true! I think everyone's looking forward to seeing this side of Beckett, and I'm sure Stana will be phenomenal as always. Looking forward to seeing all the guest stars coming up as well!!! Hurry up January!

I just read this quote of Andrew Marlowe's and wasn't sure where to comment on it.. this sounds like a shipper thread.. so will risk posting it here in hopes of hearing people's thoughts on Beckett and Castle's relationship..

Quote:
JH: How do you maintain the audience's hunger to want them together when we all know what can happen if that happens too soon?

AWM: It's early in the series and I think the characters will tell us where they need to be and what they need to do. I think life throws complications at relationships and that's a good guiding light for us. New people enter, old flames resurface and there's plenty going on to keep these two people at arms length. I think the characters are making the choices themselves. Beckett doesn't want to be one of his conquests and for Castle this is a woman who has challenged him in ways that other women haven't. I think that there's a fear on his part that going any further will ruin their relationship so I think they both feel like they can flirt and play with each other up to a line but at this point they're both scared to cross it. In the future, there will be many other complications; he'll date somebody, she'll date somebody, there will be missed opportunities, near misses. I think that as long as we're honest about the relationship with the audience and we're not fraudulent and trying to force it and manipulate our characters into a particular situation I think they'll be patient as long as we're also having fun.

So…. what do we think- have we seen these things come to pass yet? this interview was conducted end of sept 2009.

I also just saw an Andrew Marlowe video interview on youtube where he mentions wanting to bring meredith back for an episode or two in season two.. uh oh!!!

I am a little surprised to have not seen a little hug or kiss moment.. of any kind up to this point.. Would love to have a Beckett Grabs Castle and kisses him so someone doesn't see them following them or something kind of moment – which is passionate, but doesn't necessarily have to mean everything changes yet! come on!! a kiss by end of season 2 isn't asking too much! Or is it just me feeling this way?

Rob Bowman had lots to say about this relatonship in an interview mid 2009…

Which [there being more than one nikki heat book] will give us plenty of time for Beckett and Castle to bond further. You know I have to ask about their relationship and where it's going.

RB: We wanted it to be clear that there was an overt attraction by him to her and that in the good old-fashioned man-chases-woman, that rejection was part of her game. That she is, at her root, a serious homicide detective, and somebody loitering around real, hardworking people who are dealing with life-and-death, [the fact that] her office is being occupied by a writer, is getting in the way. And she was off-put by that. Rightly so. Problem is, he's charming. He did help solve the first murder. He does have occasionally insightful things to say. As any homicide cop would agree, any good ideas to help solve the crime are welcome. The problem is, they come out of [Castle's] mouth and he is a man-boy. But as long as the mayor is happy, and the commissioner's happy, and the captain's happy, he's not going away. And so, we've put them in this box that neither of them… well, seemingly, we've removed the options for either one of them to get out of the situation. So they're in it. I think Andrew's description to me of that first interrogation [in the pilot] was, he thinks he's on a first date, and she thinks she's interrogating a suspect. And I think he always believes he's on some sort of date with her, but I think she always feels like she's saddled with him, but has decided to surrender the battle and join forces to solve crimes. In terms of them actually getting together [romantically], well, wouldn't that ruin it?

They almost seem like they're together already. His family has really taken to her, plus Beckett and Castle already fight like they're a couple.
RB: Yeah, like in episode five when they pretend they're married and they start bickering in front of the [apartment] tenant and she says, well if we're married, I want a divorce. They're always bickering like boyfriend-girlfriend, husband and wife. So, yes, we are behaving as so, but in her mind, it's never going to happen. And that is again, part of the chase. Men like that kind of thing. Rejection is the key to have you keep coming back. I'm positive if something were to happen, [something] more than conversation, it can only happen under the guise of inebriation. To the point of blackout, to the point of neither one of them remembering, to the point where both of them are saying — certainly her — that it never happened, you can't prove anything happened. And therefore the score is still 0-0. The truth is, we walk the line, every day, every scene. We're trying to make it really fun for the audience. Castle adores her, no question about it. And I think that she does find him charming and useful and I think that's how she characterizes him the most… charming and useful.

What do you all think about this? any thoughts? I don't like what Bowman said about ruining it – their getting together.. they better by season 5 or I will move on! What he says about how if something were happen it would be treated like it was nothing is exactly what I am thinking would be a way to go – at the moment!! but.. just not for too long!!

I had a thought last night… I realised that up till now, Castle has never been to Beckett's house.. and.. I found it interesting that a few times now ( and it seems in sucker punch tonight also) Beckett has turned up at Castle's house – taking Caste by surprise… ( I think only the one time he was expecting her to pick him up for their umm.. fake date.. ) I have a theory about this – that Beckett is doing this occassionally to get to the truth ( she likes the truth!) and past man-boy fickle Castle- to see who he really is – and so far, everytime she goes there he seems to be spending time with his family – not dating a different woman every time – you know?He also seems genuinely pleased to see her and not at all minding her showing up unannounced!

Can I just add – if Castle were through and through the 'man about town' his image suggests – he wouldn't have been open to letting his mother move in with him.. A grown man living with his mother – this is not a good look (to the superficial world)- so I really admire that he has done this – I noticed this when Sorenson pointed out spitefully that Castle lives with his mother – and I thought – wow! Castle is a good man to take that on- and he truly seems to be happy to do it!!

Errr don't mind me.. just sharing my thoughts I periodically have on castle and beckett2:!

Anyone else want to share general shipper thoughts about Castle and Beckett?

I thought of a show where a couple gets together and gets married and the show is still a success- The Closer – ok.. the relationship isn't 'the' show.. but it is a big part of it.. and I love it- they are so sweet together.. Ok have raved enough.. hope someone out there is in a shipper mood and willing to share their thoughts! byeee and hope all the american viewers enjoy the new ep (sucke punch). I will be watching it a day later – can't wait!!

@ Doz I totally agree that them getting together would not ruin anything. I think it would be quite hilarious and make the show even better. It wouldn't be even much different than it is now. He gets on her nerves and she wants him to stay in the car. Everyone knows the stay in the car thing is not just because he's in the way but also because she doesn't want him hurt. I think tonights episode will change things. The kissing while undercover that you mentioned worked well in the show Wild Card. The main characters are PIs and they were spying on someone and they just happened to be walking that way so Dan turns quickly pinning her against the wall and starts kissing her. It was all good he was just trying to make sure they weren't caught…or so you think later in her kitchen she is fussing about it be says it was just a buisness kiss and she says didn't feel like a buisness kiss because they don't involve tounge. So we see that it was more than just a saving their life situation and he says it wasn't his tounge and so she says so there was a third tounge and her 9 year old neice walks in saying "who has a third tounge" haha so it was hilarious! and she tells him no more kissing cuz that wasn't the first time it had happened. I loved the show and was sad when it ended but it was a perfect example of Castle and Beckett's relationship!
