You are right, she would have had to hurt him but she could have gotten out of it. I tend to think the same way you do, but I kind of have to suspend my disbelief to get through that bit.
Yeah. I still feel that way, but when I watched it again, that part still gets me. Tis good, even with the doubts.
I think he did want to die to keep his family safe. I think he wanted to take as many with him as he could, but ultimately he did not want to get out of the hangar. It was the last thing he could do to take care of his family. I think he knew he couldn't keep Beckett safe anymore too, so he did what he could for her and then went down to protect his family.
I agree. It's certainly the only way he could expect them not to go after his family. He's alive = they are in danger. Man, good epi.

Ok, Castle was awesome. (no spoilers in my post, but the responses are dirty with 'em!)

Why is everyone assuming a death? Did I miss something beyond the contrived ending?

But we know she's not going to die, so he's got a point. (+edit)

Getting shot in the chest by a high-powered sniper rifle is not for the faint of heart

The difference between you & me is I'm mean to imaginary people, while you are mean to real people

To me, this seems eerily similar to Season of 3 of Bones, penultimate episode. (xpoiler for Bones)
