No in-depth recap this week. I fell behind and the plot to this one was kinda complicated.
What I Liked
-Castle stays up watching Wives of Wall Street so long he can't feel his butt.
 |
| Alexis thought it was pretty funny, too. |
-Castle's gift for Beckett is a pair of expensive earrings, while her gift for him is a drawer in her apartment. Sure, it's sort of romantic, but that's the biggest cop out you can pull.
-Bad boy billionaire Mark Chilean. Come on. Put a little more effort into naming your parody characters.
-Three's Company-esque shenanigans when Castle puts the earrings in the Cap'n's pocket by mistake. His inability to remember what he wrote on the card was very conveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenient.
-The killer breaks down and confesses because she has trouble finding her keys. They've had some stupid murderers on this show in the past, but this one was by far the stupidest.
Final Thoughts
A lot of the acting in this episode was really terrible. Some of it was by design, but I'm not sure all of it was.
I'm a bit fuzzy on how Lanie and Esposito can date openly, but Castle and Beckett can't. Just because she's the ME, it doesn't mean that they don't work together in semi-dangerous situations on a regular basis. Plus, are cops any less likely to do something stupid to save their partner than they would be to save their girl/boyfriend? These days, Castle and Beckett probably only need to get a waiver from HR or something like that, so the whole 'secret romance' plot contrivance is silly.
Overall, I really didn't like this one. The plot had a lot of unnecessary twists, and the killer was one of characters who showed up at the beginning and then wasn't really seen again until the end. I really wish they'd stop doing that.
