You hit the nail on the head: it is the tension which drives their relationship. <br /><br />With regard to Alexis, she IS pretty ideal. I suppose they could chalk it up to the fact that she was raised by an intelligent, doting, stay-at-home dad. Still, there was an episode ("Heartbreak Hotel") where she threw a huge party just to be liked, and wound up paying for it. So she does have a few flaws.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. Until next season ...Michael Seesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03694187657718931214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629401484469925298.post-10321999073100598862012-05-30T11:14:00.161-04:002012-05-30T11:14:00.161-04:00I just watched it last night.

It was a great episode and though they lose the tension of the un-consummated relationship, it could be replaced with the tension of the forbidden workplace romance (bad enough in offices but when you carry guns...).<br /><br />Am I the only one who has trouble taking the Alexis character seriously? I really want to like her, but she's just too perfect. Her cutesy angst about going to Stanford, or writing her Valedictory speech just drives me up the wall. It's a crime series - give her a friend who falls in with a bad crowd and starts using drugs or something. They don't have to drag Castle's daughter down into the gutter, but they should give her more than the 'gosh my life is so agonizingly perfect' stuff.<br /><br />Still, it's a great series - unless Joss starts up 'Firefly' again...A.G.
