Subject: Harm was a larger than life hero but in this case, I was thinking more about Mac supporting Harm who was the obsessed and reckless one. Cece is right, I need to remember Castle is a writer and he is not in the military or law enforcement field. I can’t compare them to H or M. That being said, the other cop called back up and saved her. (inside)
In reply to: Hope 's message, "He is supportive but knew this was a suicide mission she would not have gotten justice just killed. He could not watch that and was not capable of stopping them. I wish someone would have said this is not what her mother would have wanted for her. She would not want her daughter to obsess to the point of being reckless and not caring if she dies. Harm was larger than life and to compare the impossible things he did to another show will always make the show and leads come up short." on 23:26:18 05/08/12 Tue

Castle can’t expect her to give up the quest for truth or shy away from danger, nor can he put her in a bubble or run away so as to protect himself from the pain to see her get hurt when those bad guys go after her. I hope he can use his brain to outsmart the villains or to help her to see other options to minimize the risk without giving up the fight totally.

[> [> [> [> [> I watched the ep again. Castle kept her safe for a year. He was given an ultimatum: make her stop investigating or they will kill her. (Inside) -- Cece, 12:19:42 05/09/12 Wed [1]

Castle did everything he could to stop her, including telling her why she had survived the year. In the face of direct evidence, Kate still made the choice of plowing right into danger. She got one cop suspended (and nearly killed), because she acted irrationally and went in without backup. The other cop was made to feel bad he wouldn't go in on the scheme. Only by going against Beckett, did he save her life.

Castle could not support her dangerous actions, as now that she knew the truth, she was still not going to stop. Even when she was at the cop's funeral the year before, they almost succeeded in killing her. With all those cops around, Castle couldn't stop that bullet, but he dealt with the bad guys for a whole year to do the only thing he could to protect her. Beckett, with full knowledge, rejected his attempts. She angrilly declared that he had no business interfering with her life. She made that crystal clear, and he finally walked away. (She was wrong, which is why she repeated apologised.)

Now about Harm being the big hero. He was a hero, but he did not like "cowboys". I can't remember exactly what he said to the young hotshot pilot who took unnecessary risks, but it was something about him putting people in danger with his arrogance. Also, although Harm tried to stop Mac from going on that mission with Webb, he didn't go with her. It was only when she was missing, he went looking for her. (We have to remember, these women are professionals, adept at the use of weapons and self-protection.)

Kate wasn't acting as a police woman. She was on a personal, dangerous, quest, and, because she was not thinking straight, she willingly and knowingly put her own colleagues at risk. Harm would not have gone along with that, and neither did Castle. In the end, Castle felt he had lost her to a foolish, dangerous obsession. Fortunately for us, this isn't JAG. We sidn't have to watch Kate have a horrible relationship with a Webb-like character, and we didn't have to watch two people in love, act as cold as ice for the next two years. We got a fabulous scene of remorse, acceptance, passion, and true, wonderful love. Sigh.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Kate wanted the truth because it was personal to her but she was willing to put aside the investigation for a year even when she didn’t know that Castle made the deal for her. She just couldn’t step away when the leads from the murder investigation fell onto her lap again. I would be disappointed if she just let the murderer go because of concern of own safety but she should have a better plan and backup in going after the bad guy.

My preference and character/relationship idealization really don’t matter as long as she accepted him and loved him enough to go to him. We do know danger will follow her and this threat will come up again. Hopefully, they will be able to deal with the conflict better since their love is out in open and they are a couple now. We are lucky that the writers chose to put them together instead of waiting till the series finale.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> I think if she was willing to work with the Captain and would have had backup Castle wouldn't had walked away but when she was trying to do it on her own it was just suicide. I also say Amen to that. -- Hope, 15:14:46 05/09/12 Wed [1]
