ABC’s ‘Castle’ season 7, episode 11 preview: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, and a mystery showdown
At the end of Monday night’s winter finale for “Castle,” the show delivered what was somewhat of a shock: No longer are we going to see Richard Castle as a part of the police investigation. Captain Gates was forced to dismiss him, on the grounds that his ties to the mob may be dangerous for the NYPD.
So where does Nathan Fillion’s character go from here? Well, he decides to go it alone? On the next new episode airing January 12, you will get a chance to see Richard Castle decide to be a private investigator for a change, and will attempt to solve cases entirely on his own. Oh, we can sense the comedy already!
The great thing about this particular story is simply the opportunity to see some funny situations unfold. After all, Rick is not nearly as good of a crime-solver without Beckett, and we understand that the same could be said vice-versa. Somehow, Rick figures out a way to be useful despite his lack of police training.
We don’t imagine that Castle and Stana Katic’s character will stay apart for long, mostly because these sort of twists only tend to happen for a couple of weeks before order is restored. Plus, so much of the charm of this show revolves around its central relationship, and while having them be rivals in the short-term may be fun, they are going to need each other in the long term.
So now, take a deep breathe, and try to get through this hiatus.

I feel like they should’ve focused more on 3XK story or create new good serial killer or just continue Bracken or something else rather and that god-knows-amnesiac myth, that is awful and so obviously doesn’t work. And no Caskett. Well, there is Caskett, but they act weird like no Caskett. So, Caskett is no longer working too. They’re married but don’t look like one. Sad, but I believe they can repair it. And then this..Good call for a game-changing actually for the show is on its edge, really in danger. But, if Rick can’t behave the way like he used to be, I don’t know then if this angle will work. Rick now, he is childish. We, well I, no longer see that hot-naughty but suave-wiseass-well networked-famous author Richard Castle. I know they want to show the character development or so, but it’s not character development, it’s getaway-can’t-do-nomore physical thing. The Actor, seriously, needs to take his work seriously. Both leading Actors need to behave professionally. Richard Castle now is more like a douche than then.

Let us be united in our hope that the competition between Castle and Beckett will be short lived before returning to unified investigation of homocides. Hopefully the episode(s?) will actually be fun to watch without Castle being portrayed as a buffoon. I understand that the reason for this is so that Castle can continue to work with Beckett otherwise it would be totally unrealistic. The winner would win everything and the loser would lose everything – time, money and personal accomplishment to name a few.

Did Marlowe step down rather than see his idea turn into a mile high pile of stink. To TPTP, No Caskett, no show. To TPTB, Castle is just not very interesting as a solo act. Castle alone is (just what’s the word I am looking for), oh right, BORING!! (and silly).
