I Watched The Season Two Finale Of Castle

And oh, Kate. You picked the wrong man. So wrong. So very, very wrong. Seriously, the only reason to pick Rick Castle over Tom Demming is the money. Oh, sweetie.

(Furthermore, I am super bitter about the fact that we've seen Castle get into one-night stand and go after chicks throughout the series, but Beckett dates ONE GUY and Castle basically says, 'okay, our friendship (and not just our friendship, but my friendship with all the people I met because of you) is over, Kate breaks up with a great guy who adores her, and Castle goes off to the Hamptons and doesn't call for four months.'

THIS. Castle has his daughter and his mother to go home to, and Kate has no one, but Beckett dating is treated like this great betrayal of Castle/Beckett by the show even though Castle finding relationships/one night stands is perfectly acceptable. And I hated his attitude the entire time Beckett was dating. I think they were trying to even it out: Cate was mildly jealous of Castle's attention to other women in many different episodes, so Castle was super jealous of her relationship, but it was just arrgh. That's not the way to make it more equal.

It's totally not, ESPECIALLY since in the end, Beckett always lets (or doesn't stand in the way of or gives verbal approval) of Castle's lady friends, but Beckett is emotionally forced to break up with Demming so Castle's feelings aren't hurt.
