![]() ![]() After some back and forth, Castle gets the upper hand and shoots 3XK several times sending him over the side of the bridge. No sooner were they discussing how they thought it might have been too easy, BOOM, their car is hit from behind. Case closed right?Īs Castle and Beckett were heading home, they had to wait for a bridge to close. And in the end, the truth won out and Castle has all charges against him, dropped. I was thrilled with how the writers handled it. Kate said multiple times how this is way off base but that she’ll go by the book until she proves otherwise. And there were several drops from Ryan and Esposito about how they don’t like that they have to go after their friend but they have no choice. I think it was very true to character and the right thing to do from a storytelling aspect. Until they could find a reasonable explanation, they had no other choice. ![]() As Esposito said, if it was anyone else, they would follow the evidence wherever it took them and go from there. Not because they go soft on each other but because they do what is their duty…find the truth. First off, I don’t think that’s what happened. I was shocked to hear and read that some people thought they were too easy to believe the evidence and not Castle. There seemed to be much debate, surprisingly to me, over Beckett and the Boys reaction to Castle and the charges against him. And that is what I really want to see as much as how the storyline will play itself out. It’s why, when the story is somewhat transparent, it doesn’t matter because I still don’t know how it will impact the characters and how they will handle it. When I watch this show, I really feel as though these people would run through fire for each other. When Kate is sitting with Esposito, and she calls him Javi instead of Esposito, and she’s talking about helping Castle and Javi says that he loves him too but that he has to follow the evidence (more on that later.) And then the scene with Lanie and Beckett where Kate is pouring her soul out to Lanie. You can see it in every scene in this episode. Whether we have a light-hearted Castle, a serious Castle, a romantic Castle, or serialized Castle, every Castle works because of the actors/characters. I’m invested in this show because I’m invested in these characters. Castle, at this point, is all about these characters. So I was happy to take that ride with them. And even though we knew Castle would be innocent and 3XK was involved, Beckett didn’t. It was still so riveting to watch how this was all going to play out. You know Castle isn’t guilty of murder and (me and Mrs. I’ve said my piece.Īs for the episode itself….wow!!!! What an amazing job all the way around. ![]() I’m begging you (and this goes for everyone, not just Castle and ABC) for those of us insane TV fans who knows the actors playing key characters, if you want to have a big reveal, don’t put the actor’s name in the credits! Simple. Not that it was much of a surprise but I digress. Hell you did it for Revenge this year when you left Madeline Stowe’s name off the opening credits to not give the surprise away. Just eliminate his name!! Shows have done that before when they don’t want to ruin the surprise. I bit of advice, if you want to pull off a big “ta da” moment in the episode, for those of us (me and his mother) who know who he is, it would have been a bigger “TA DA!!!!!” moment had I not known he was in the episode. But for me, I know exactly who Michael Mosley is, because I think he’s excellent, and so when I saw the “Guest Starring” and underneath it “Michael Mosley” I knew it would be a 3XK episode. Or if your like me with a lot of actors, you know the face because you’ve seen them in virtually every show (which was Margo Martindale for me for years) but you’re not sure of their name. I’m sure most people don’t know who Michael Mosley is. ABC, you ruined the surprise for me when you listed the actors at the beginning of the show. I’m going to get my one pet peeve out-of-the-way right now so I can focus on all the delicious good stuff. To me, it’s a real testament to the writers and the actors when you know what the outcome is going to be and you’re still anxiously watching the episode with excitement and anticipation…that’s what this episode was for me. ![]()
