One thing about Castle is that they do a serial killer plot line SO WELL. In the way that they don’t overdo those episodes, and cram like 7 into a season, so you’re like “God can’t they just catch this guy already!” (Pelant on Bones, Mr. Scratch on Criminal Minds, etc)
They’re so good at like one or MAYBE two 3XK episodes a season so every time you’re like “OH MY GOD HE’S BACK!!” And with Beckett’s mom they still manage to keep it fresh even after so long because they don’t spent so long on it every season.
We are tasked by the city of New York to protect its people. Sometimes that task comes with a cost. I know what they call me, Detective. ‘Iron Gates’. I hear the whispers. ‘She’s from IA, she must hate cops.’ Well, the truth is, I love cops. My daddy was a cop. My uncles were cops. But the sergeant who assaulted my patrol partner under the cover of authority? Who holds him accountable? We do.
I kind of stumbled my way through this one and missed a LOT of the exposition, but it's fine because at the end of the day everyone was saved! I think!

I'm sorry but the concept that overstressed Izzy that looked like he was at the verge of his fifth anxiety breakdown in a week, is somehow a lying manipulative mastermind, is simply hilarious to me.
what i wouldn’t give to know what hal gates would say about everything that transpired after his death. both in a “ghostly member of a greek chorus haunting flint until the end” way and a “black sails reaction podcast hosted by gates and degroot dunking on every subsequent decision he makes” way.
On 13 July passed Cape Matapan. Crew dissatisfied about something. Seemed scared, but would not speak out.
On July 13th, the crew of the Demeter gets their very first dark premonition while passing Cape Matapan. The next day the first incident among them happens, followed by the first disappearance.
Cape Matapan, aka Cape Tainaron, is the southernmost place in continental Greece, and gateway to Hades.
There was a sanctuary of Poseidon there (ancient captains sailing past the Cape would stop to ask for a smooth sail), and a Nekromanteion (death oracle) or a Psychopompeion, because the Cape was a threshold to the Underworld.
Greek sailors have been traditionally using the phrase "Stay forty miles away [meaning as far as possible] from Cape Matapan" ("Από τον Κάβο Ματαπά σαράντα μίλια μακρυά"), likely due to it once being a pirate hideout, as it's associated with bad luck.
