"Castle" and "Bones" May Be Ending?

[Taake]

I think the relationship-drama is the only parts that interested me.. not sure when I stopped watching but it was early on. But the criminal aspect just made it feel like those countless law & orders or CSIs that I cant stand. Bones in general wasn't my cup of tea, but the relationships and dynamic of the group was it's strength. I stopped watching around cornholio guy, I think, or at least thats the last thing I really remember.

At the start yes, but then I think they tipped the ratio and made it too much relationship stuff. I mean, it's clearly what people wanted since the show has gone on for so long, but it didn't work for me. I wouldn't have wanted them to remove the relationship stuff, but I would have wanted it toned down.

Actually, if they were to take it back more to the origins of the show I think it could be great because now there's nowhere to go with their relationship (cause they won't break them up I imagine, and shouldn't!) which is what could make me watch the show again. I thought it went downhill that early because I loved it as a crime-drama, not a relationship-drama, and around season 4 it - to me - became mostly about all of their personal stuff (not just Booth and Bones, but mainly them) and that was just not what I was interested in.

So if they could stop having their personal shit + having people have personal vendetta's against them. If their personal stuff just got to be background noise to the crimes they were solving, then I'd happily tune right back in 😀 (And if I thought there was any chance of this I'd be excited about season 11, but that'd be too good to be true sadly)

I think I can agree, it did become more about the relationships, which I didn't mind up until s8. Then like you said it was less of a crime drama and everything was connected to their relationship. The overall season arcs for the last 3 seasons is based on personal character stuff and I do think it drags it down. Just go back to solving an unrelated case each week, that's how I like my crime dramas.

I still watch Bones because I'm invested in the characters and enjoy hearing Hodgins say 'particulates' (yes, I have a wee crush).

I will be sad to see it end but I hope they go out on bang.

I would love it if they bought back Zach Addy for the final few episodes, it has always slightly annoyed me that they never even bring him up.

I watch both shows but I'm really losing interest in both. The Beckett/Castle storyline has gone really downhill and I thought the last episode of Bones tied things up nicely, it should have been left there.

It is official, Castle has been canceled. May 16th will be the series finale.
