Why bother??? Just leave a blank screen with commercials. Have we not heard the same interplay with the LA police on a different episode. I didn’t find the episode with Lanie funny, just juvenile and cruel. No Beckett, no Vikram, ditch Hayley and the idiot plot, find Castle a new partner, Sumner Glau or better and kust move on. B- more like F-. Doesnt any body care why no body watches any more?????

Every time you think things could not get worse they do. I agree with everything you guys have said I only wish it were not true. The one thing that has not been tried yet is to send over 4 million emails to project sponsors complaining and indicating that we are going to stop watching the show and possibly turning the tv off on Monday night. I believe we might get results that way.

How can you have a CASTLE show when you don’t have Nathan and Stana? The show this week was the pits, why did Beckett not go with Castle? it was not a Castle and Beckett show, they know how to solve a murder with the guys in New York. I have stayed with the show for the whole season hoping that the next show is going to be something like the other seasons but no, they keep saying the next show will be the one that we are going to love and that has not happened yet. I would rather watch the old shows. I think the need to bring Mr. Marlow and his wife back they new how get what people wanted to watch and breaking up Kate and Rick was not the way to do that. I really dislike the writers this year of who ever is running the show. I love CASTLE.

All the wit and sparkle that made Castle so fun to watch are gone. This episode was a generic procedural that could have been part of a dozen mediocre shows. And Stana MIA for the second time? That’s just wrong.

If ABC really wants “Castle” to continue, they need to bring back Marlowe. The current showrunners are doing their best to kill the show.

F- That was the worst. Ok so Stana was away, but ignore her character completely until the final seconds? By everyone? AH must really hate that character, probably because Marlowe loved her. The plot (both of them) were stupid. Didnt care about the murder, GDS and predicted LokSat connection months ago. Hayley sticks around because she is fond of RC and Alexis? No, she is there to replace Beckett. Caskett is dead and AH should hold the wake. Im sure he’ll enjoy himself.

In reply to Conservativefemale43. Since they've already killed the Beckett character with terrible writing, it must refer to another show:-/

This Castle-Beckett separation is bad enough, but a completely Beckett-less episode is just wrong. I don’t know what these showrunners are thinking but they have already ruined 2/3 of the season with this nonsense and need to stop now. Fans primary reason for tuning in is see Castle and Beckett together. The 5 million fans that they still have are only there out of loyalty to the show and the cast. This is a cruel way to reward such loyalty.

What I’d also like to know is, how did Castle know to call this mystery partner of Bracken’s “Loksat” a year and a half ago? If you will recall, the redacted memo in which someone wrote the word “Loksat” in the margin, was only discovered in season 8, when a query that Kate had initiated while at the AG’s office, flagged it. Even if we assume Castle’s dad had access to this memo before Kate and shared it with Castle, remember that Loksat isn’t the person’s real name. It was just a word in the margin that Kate used as a pseudonym to arbitrarily refer to this unknown person. So what are the odds that Castle would refer to this mysterious person by the exact same pseudonym?

Hawley supposedly wrote this episode. If he did, this is amazingly bad. Confused, scattered, disjointed are terms that occurred to me as I watched. Smooth storytelling does not come to mind. If he wanted to provide insight into Rick’s missing time along with a strand and convoluted LokSat connection then what was with the practical joke on Laine and that shot of Fillion with the big guy on the golf cart? The GDS thing was just strange.

Matt, do you think the new TVLine blind item about a drama “killing it’s star in the season finale” would be Castle?

If at best a C. The show writing and running was real bad after having a few good ones this was bad. If this was a spin off of what Castle would be like without Kate, it was a non starter for a lot of people. One would have to think if Rick was looking into the one thing that was so important to him, Kate would have been by his side, no we had the Kate want to be instead. With only 7 episode left I sure hope we see a lot of Rick and Kate together. Maybe that what her new career going to be, and she become apart a Castle PI. Now that we know that LokSat knows them both of them real good, it is time for Kate to come home. I really thought the ratings would go up pretty good this week because of all the firefly info on firefly. But it did not went down in overall. We have had better episodes this year than this one.
