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.
Not sure if I'm disenchanted, but I'm definitely very disappointed. I mean, I get it that it's not his fault and he only did what he did because Castle thought Beckett was going away for the weekend with Schlemming (yes, I know that's not his name, but it's how Castle wrote it in the novel), but still. Mucho disappointment.
omg, Skinner had me rolling. I about died watching him go all *wibble* on them.
My theory is A, at least Beckett looked devastated by the turn of events, B, you know Castle's getting text-threats from everyone else at the party ("you IDIOT!") and C, I'm thinking he comes back at the end of the summer and is all "Yeah, that getting-along thing lasted about 3 days. Which for us is a record, actually. She went home right after Memorial Day. So how was your summer?"
Still stupid, definitely, but. I think I'm getting used to stupid. Desensitized, maybe. Like a 10-year old with violent video games.
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.
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...

And I am not disappointed that Demming is going, I will miss yelling "ANDERS" whenever he walks onscreen.
