Clip episodes always seem like throw aways; as though they ran low on budget or no good ideas. This was a better clip show, but it was still "wind up for clips!" so kind of on the "eh" side.

That episode was pretty lame, maybe the regular writers were on vacation.Dave Scarpa said:I hate clip shows they are lazy exercises in writing, it was depressing both Castle and Hawaii Five O with that lamo talk show angle sucked greatly this week.
I'm pretty tired of the attempts to generate dramatic tension by calling into question the nature of the relationship. We just had an episode where Castle would not desert her, and put his life in jeopardy for Beckett and she is considering a move that might undermine their relationship? Just ridiculous.They did it again, end an episode with Beckett looking like she's not sure she should be with Castle.
I would agree Nelson. The (oft-repeated) sequence where Castle and Beckett simultaneously arrive at the same conclusion underscored how much a member of the team Castle has become and Beckett is smart enough to question what the dynamic will be like without Castle's intuitive leaps (and storytelling based problem solving skills.)What was interesting was I thought the editing last night would show cuts of Beckett's reactions to Castle's theorizing on the case. She seemed amused by it. I read it as her perhaps thinking he was a vital part of how she solves cases now. Like she might not accept the job because she realized she needed him. That was before she talked to her father.
