That was officially THE MOST DISAPPOINTING THING EVER.
FAIL, Castle. Oh, so much fail. I counted on you to walk up to cliches and tweak their noses, not follow them as if they were freaking instruction manuals.
I waited TWO HOURS to get the last freaking eight minutes to load on Hulu with my stolen wireless, and I was all "Yay, awesome episode!" and then it started buffering around minute 40 and I'm like "OMG, SERIOUSLY?" and was this || close to giving it up and calling it a night, and now I'm kinda wishing I had. Epic fail, Castle... I have never been so disappointed in you.
You've totally given up on Bones, right? So I won't be spoiling you if I say (highlight to see) the last few episodes the writers are finally pulling an X-Files and Booth/Bones, while not quite cannon, there have been feelings admitted on both sides. Still a ton of "Oh my god, just GET ON WITH IT already because Bones has also admitted that she might never be able to do the love thing cause her brain is too darned logical, but none the less, there has been more shippy moments in the last four episodes than there has been in the last five years combined, and even *I* am starting to not hate the idea, which is saying something.
Actually, there has been several times during the last few weeks where I've thought "You know, if Becca hadn't given up on this series end of last season, she probably would've really enjoyed this/these episodes." Not that I blame you for giving up - I almost did myself, and there was a month or two where I had, like, 3 Bones episodes waiting in my Hulu queue because I wasn't in the mood to deal with the disappointment. The last few weeks, though, it's like the Bones writers are taking a page from the Castle book (hee, sorta pun) and getting back to the Weird Case Of The Week kind of episodes that were common in earlier seasons, with a bonus of Booth/Brennan BFF moments.
I saw your post where you wrote that you were eight minutes away from seeing the ending, and I was soooo close to telling you to just not bother, but I didn't know if you were spoiler-avoidant or not. UGH. Epic, epic fail. I don't even know how they're going to fix this next year. At this point, I'm kind of hoping that Lainie, Ryan, and Esposito all call Castle to tell him exactly how badly he screwed up, and then give him shit for at least seven or eight episodes. Arrrrggghhhh, I hate reset buttons!
I have completely, utterly given up on Bones. The show is dead to me. I'm glad to hear it's gotten slightly less sucky on the ship front, even though I probably won't ever watch it again. (It wasn't just the ship that irritated me--it was making Booth into a great stupid lummox when he used to be a reasonably intelligent FBI agent, and continually resetting Brennan's social skills back to nil, and DEAR GOD, SWEETS, whom I hate like practically no other character ever in the history of ever.)
Once upon a time I was a spoiler whore, so they usually don't bother me. I don't often make an effort to find them these days, but I'll read them if I'm curious enough and/or they fall into my lap without any effort on my part. Though my plan was to read your spoiler cut after I had seen the episode (which I did), I also wouldn't have minded if you had told me that the last two minutes were Massive Castle Fail. ;)
As for Bones, I will tell you that Angela and Hodgins did finally tie the knot when they were in jail together two or three weeks ago, so at least you can be cheered by that thought. :D
Awwww. I came to pretty much detest Angela near the end of my time with the show (somewhere...in season four? I think my last straw was that episode where we saw Sweets's scars, literally, from his abusive childhood or whatever it was), but somehow, I still managed to ship Angela/Hodgins. He deserves so much better than her, though, ugh.
