Not so much a genre thing, but the ending felt very rushed. Or, after
thinking about it, I thought there could have been more of a punch/oomph
with that ending.

Having watched two episodes of CASTLE, it seems very predictable and
contrived. While the actor who plays the lead (whose name eludes me, and
I'm to lazy to GOOGLE) was great in FIREFLY IMO.

PS--Thanks to the group for the heads up (I forget who tipped me off on that)
