+++Warning, this contains a minor spoiler from the prior season, but no major season six giveaways.+++
Season 6 of Castle picks up immediately after the marriage proposal by Castle to Beckett. We find out her answer, and whether she takes the potential new job. From there, the season follows its combination of procedural and serial storytelling, with more of the supporting characters getting in on the action. This could be due to the fact that the reported bad blood between Katic and Fillion had started because, even though they still had good chemistry in their scenes together, they definitely had fewer scenes together and the Castle-Beckett focus of the first five seasons was reduced in season six. The season ends on yet another major cliffhanger after the resolution to the storyline of the murder of Beckett's mother.
For those who get the DVD set, the extras include commentary tracks on select episodes, an on-location featurette with Stana Katic, character commentary by Ryan and Esposito, deleted scenes, a blooper reel, and a karaoke track that is an extended version of Ryan's karaoke performance.
Overall, the season is good but is starting to feel different. As my title says, I think it is the last really good season of the show, but even so, it is not as good as it was in the first handful of seasons. If Fillion and Katic really did end up not being able to stand being around each other, and if that started this season, they hid it well because, when they did have scenes together, you bought the chemistry between the two of them.
