There's an awful lot of stupid in that show. My first thought was also that no tech would take that bullet without paperwork. It's legally worthless without a chain of custody.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yes, my first annoyance was the "hey, tell me about this bullet". Sure, that's how it works.
My second was something I'm seeing in every cop show since the invention of the cell phone. The good guy in question is speeding across the given metropolis to save someone from being killed, frantically calling said someone to warn them the bad guys are coming but the soon-to-be victim just isn't picking up the phone!!!!!
You're the only cop in this town? Send the closest law enforcement. Make a call and send the police or the FBI or the CIA... heck, send the fire department. Send a fire truck. Get the closest someone there as soon as you can. The bad guy only has himself, you've got garbage trucks, postal workers, any government employee with a bullhorn will do at this moment.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Huh. I expected Beckett to make a decision on where she wanted to be. Or at least have the opportunity to. Whoops.

That was the kind of Castle I enjoy, and now they can drop having him involved in any more international intrigue. Which is good because Bones was another fucking (but hopefully last) Pelant episode.

And also awful. I especially hated, we're in this building that Pelant could have rigged with any sort of crazy shit, so why don't we pause here and talk about getting married rather than just getting the fuck out of there.

I got about ten minutes into Bones and just gave up. I NEVER do that. Blew my mind.

And given the fact that Pelant was a sick fuck with contingency upon contingency, I would not have been strolling casually out of the building. I would have been hustling out of there and calling the bomb squad, HAZMAT and SWAT.
