Trivia:

Beckett's badge number is 41319.

Goofs:

Factual errors: At the initial crime scene, the M.E. says the victim was shot in the shoulder with a .357 and in the head with a 9mm. In reality, these two bullets are .002 inch different in diameter, so there is no way anyone could look at a wound and tell the difference.

Quotes:

Richard Castle:Every morning I bring you a cup of coffee, just so I can see a smile on your face. Because I think you are the most remarkable, maddening, challenging, frustrating, person I've ever met. And I love you Kate, and if that means anything to you, if you care about me at all, just don't do this.

One Of The Best Season Finales I Have Ever Seen!

********CONTAINS SPOILERS********* Whoooaaaaa!!! What an episode! In Hindi Film parlance, this had all the ingredients of what is called a "Masala" Script. But it had one attributes which made everything come together seamlessly- FINESSE. Although the final (rather, finally) coming together of Castle and Beckett was expected, the architecture of the whole episode leading to the climax was excellent. The scene where Castle finally expresses his feelings is undoubtedly the finest scene of Nathan Fillion in the entire series. He expresses a gamut of emotions - love, fear, anger and finally detachment with such ease, that his simplicity just blows you away. The scenes between Esposito and Ryan have also been done well. A special mention should be made for the climax sequence. The speech of Alexis, the music montage, the mixture of feelings flowing around- Ah! What Mastery!!!! I have seen quite a few season finales..... and this stands up there with the best. Hope the next season is the final one..... As it is said... Endings are inevitable.
