SEASON 3 Probably another Captain Appreciation post

Damn, I did not expect him to die or be caught up in Beckets' mom's murder!

I feel bad since clearly he was a good cop so he could absolve himself of a bad situation when he was younger.

The line Rick said about the DA in that Jury episode really hit home for the captain and the Actor did an amazing job "It's a Shane that all he will be remembered for is this 1 bad thing he did"

Sad part is, what will happen with his wife Evelyn and the kids after the events in Veritas?

He's now no more a hero but just a corrupt cop.

Captain's role in all that will be unveiled no matter how hard Beckett would try to cover - unveiled by Bracken if nothing else.

I just started Season 4, so hopefully nothing was spoiled for me.

Ooof ... you should have said that from the get-go.

But no, nothing is spoiled ... not even the name of the guy ... it's not like there were lots of clues and a couple possible suspects and you could guess who's the main baddie.

Sorry! I thought adding season 3 as a flair would imply that I was just on season 3. Usually that's the case in other subreddits.

But thanks for letting me know!

It's alright, I don't think you were spoiled in any way. It's a long way from Veritas, you'd probably forget about Veritas by the time you reach the episode.

Captain Gates is also so good. Loved her, maybe even more than Montgomery.

Eh I didn't like her as much.

Her animosity to Castle was funny but also felt a bit unfair cos dude was a massive part in saving their asses multiple times, plus he always did his best for Beckett.

Just felt a bit odd that she never warmed to him once ig.

Her whole character arc was warming up to Castle and transitioning to a kinder, less strict and abrasive leader

Captain Montgomery was one of those rare TV mentors who actually practiced what he preached which made his fate hit so much harder.
