Great read from 4 new to Steele watchers doing a series of roundtable reviews on older TV detective shows.

Incredible roundtable. For something Remington Steel triumphed in the world and is still fondly remembered; amused us while we showed the elegance of its performers.

A quote:

Remington and Laura have known each other for ten episodes and they’re not only admitting their feelings, but having an adult conversation about what the implications of acting on those feelings would be. Who does that in the first season? By today’s standards, that’s a season five conversation at best.

A season five conversation....hmmm, interesting. Castle is now in it's fifth season and it took it's lead characters that much time to get together...and they are still keeping it on the q.t.

At least Laura and Steele made their feelings known quite early. It was understood from the very beginning he was enamored with the young detective from day one and she with him, even if they wouldn't admit it in the first episodes, the audience was in on their secret.

Not their favorite Bond!
