I can't believe Castle actually continued on this path of cliche romance and it's many obstacles of contrived bad-timing.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Of COURSE it did! It doesn't just follow the cliche, it OWNS the cliche! It holds the cliche in its giddy embrace, and rides it for all its worth!

Between last week's NCIS failure of giving me anticipated McGee/Abby moments (other than his really stupid "joke" and subsequent intestinal issues) last week and this week's missed moment between Castle and Beckett, I am a very disappointed procedural 'shipper right now.
Hmmph.

Art Crawl!!!
I was not prepared for that to be the season finale of Castle.
UNFAIR! Want more new Castle!!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am actually pissed at Castle because I didn't think they'd been riding the cliche train up until this point. They'd been working pretty decently. But that timing mismatch was hokey as all shit.

“Not dead yet!”
I actually think they deliberately worked the cliché for a reason. Not precisely sure what that is yet, but the hook-up with the ex/editor/publisher is a little too convenient for color TV. And what, exactly, did they talk about for hours?
Castle can be stupid with women in a lot of ways, but I don't think he tends to make the same mistake twice-- i.e., his first wife and second wife are as different as two women can possibly be, and Beckett is different still from the two of them.
I'm willing to ride it out.

I hope you're right, Barb.

I completely expect she's being literal -- she intends to hover over him and force him to finish the book, and then leave. I sincerely doubt we're going to have a prolonged Castle/ex-wife relationship. If nothing else, she seems too smart for that. (:
Thus, in the fall, we get both characters back at status quo, and too skittish to jump into relationship mode.
