Most certainly. Becket now has been given the opportunity to run for the Senate. Castle has received the Poe Pen award. Both have pledged their support for each other. Castle has indicated that he might start writing serious literature (remember he is supposed to win Pulitzer awards) . And Kate did not drink her champagne. Looks like we may be on our way to the future.

When Becket went to Washington as an agent she had bosses who dictated her activity and judged her performance with regard to how closely she adhered to their instructions. As a Senator it is totally different. In their interview her supporters let it be known that they believed in her morals and believed that she would do the right thing because of them. This let Becket know that she would be able to call her own shots.

I worked for a federal agency for 35 years. I won numerous EEO awards, participated in coop student program and a stay in school program. My support staff was all female. I hired my support staff from the secretarial field (GS – o5’s). I provided on the job training, developmental assignments and formalized seminars, conferences and technical training. All of them advanced to the GS I I level and one to the GS 15 level. Needless to say I am proud of them all. Now regarding your generalized statement that “women prevail”. I must take issue with this statement and state that some women prevail as do some men. It is not some higher degree afforded to women by their sex. Rather, women like men become achievers and prevail because of many factors including education, home environment, mentors, personality, field of endeavor, size of business organization, and, most importantly, the drive to succeed. Speaking of succeeding I would like to clarify a misconception that success is directly related to the amount of money you make. Money is no yardstick to use in measuring success. If it were there would only be one successful person and that would be the richest person in the world. Everyone else would have to be regarded as an “also ran”. It would also mean that teachers, carpenters. plumbers, etc. could never be considered as successful yet they are.

It has been announced that the mystery of Castle’s disappearance will be explored further in season 8. It will be interesting to see how this will play out along with Becket making a decision regarding her future career. It would appear that this would best be resolved early in the season before Becket makes her decision so that one would not interfere with the other.

You might not recall but when Becket told Castle that she had been asked to run for the Senate Castle told her that he would support her whatever she decided and he told her that he might consider writing serious literature. This was after Castle knew that he was to receive the Poe Pen award. This would all lead you to believe that the series would follow the story line told by the time traveler but, of course, it could follow some other direction as well. We will just have to wait and see. Regardless, we can be assured that it will be exciting, humorous, loving and entertaining as it has for the past seven years.

But it won’t go with the show’s theme at all! Can’t show Castle following Beckett in politics, and helping and all is not what Castle show has ever been about! It needs cases, it needs romance and drama, not politics, at all!

Love it! I agree!
