When I say it's about that base, I am agreeing with several previously published articles that sited everything that Castle does right; from the writing of great stories to the actors presenting very believable performances.
And what I mean about it being" about the [bass] base"; that base is the chemistry that goes deeper than the characters meshing.
Consider this: while M.A.S.H. was a TV series based upon a very serious subject, it was punctuated with just the right amount of humor like the exact spice-accent makes the meal.
Castle goes one step further....
Castle brings a fantasy life into a totally believable story episode after episode. Castle is not limited by a subject that will become obsolete like M.A.S.H. suffered. Nor will they outgrow the fantasy they live. Like Undercover Blues this story can go on for years. (and I sure hope it does)
Look at some of these soap operas that have endured decades and have had younger generations taking over the lead roles. I mean really, how often can Victor and Nikki get back together? Yet, Victor & Nikki are still going strong. And God bless them for it. I am not criticizing here, just stating fact.
Having watched nearly all the interviews and the awards where Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic received their due recognition; I have to say that Nathan is not only an amazing actor to be able to project the facets of Rick Castle's personality and character so seamlessly and believably; as a person he has paved the way for all the other talent in the show, both the on-screen talent and the behind the scenes from writing to make-up to costuming to set design and all the other necessary disciplines that it takes to have a hit like Castle.
If there were any way I could contribute to the sure ongoing of this show, I would do it.
Meantime, for now and from my humble position in this venture as just a very sincere fan of every one on the show.... but especially to Stana and Nathan; I applaud you after every episode and wish you all the very best that your career/industry has to offer.
Bravo!
