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.
Y'know, I really wasn't surprised. The whole UST vibe has been pretty strong all along, much like in Bones. It's so annoying--so many TV shows since Moonlighting has been convinced that UST is the only good relationship style, and consummation will destroy it, so they tell the same annoying story over and over again.
There have really been only two police procedural shows I've ever felt were above the cliches: Due South, and Life. Man, I miss Life...
If it had been a lesser show, I would not have been surprised. But Castle had been so good at overturning cliches, or using them, but in slightly different ways, that I was completely blindsided by this. This is something I would expect of Bones, not this show.
If only everyone would take a page from Due South's book.
