Castle is fucking win, I'll add it to my addiction list.

Although I'd say it started for sci-fi with Farscape at a moderate level.

So, the stargate like sillyness started with Farscape, 3 years after SG1?

One of my favorites atm. Although recently, some of the twists are predictable early in the show and they are taking forever to get to it. In the first couple of episodes IIRC, the predictable twists came a bit early...but turned into new twists that were refreshing.

They need to back off on the lovey-dovey stuff and get back to some serious/intelligent crime strories.

Oh yeah wait I confused my dates, thought Farscape was the one starting earlier.

amblin wrote:I agree with M up there though, a couple of episodes of Castle have been waaaay to easy to twig, the writers have obviously heard of dramatic irony, but not subtlety, intrigue and misdirection. Give them time though...

I'm still enjoying it plenty, just hoping the writers get it perfick soon.
