I think one of the things I enjoy about Castle is how they can incorporate the characters' personal lives without having them take over the episode. Last night there was all the wedding preparation and so on, but they were still working on solving the case (although occasionally distracted).
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

I loved how Ryan was far more distracted/bothered by his lack of real food than by anything wedding related, including his fiancee's past.

I loved that they resolved it with "Um , it's not like we were exclusive. Is that Mongolian beef?" and that he and Jenny had already talked about it, no big. LOVED.
And I'm sorry, but "It's a numbers game. I strike out 90% of the time," cracked me up in response to Beckett's, "Seriously?"

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I was waiting for the big pre-wedding blowup to be Ryan cheating on the diet, not about sleeping with the skeezy guy. But I love that there was no drama, just two people super excited to get married.
I agree about the genius integration of the characters' personal stories. This one yet again made me want to smish Ryan and Esposito.
(have they been calling him "Espo" a lot before and I just didn't notice?)

If they have, I have never noticed it before this week. It sounded really weird to me.

I'd never noticed it before either ... but then, by 10:00, I'm not usually at my most alert.

"Espo" sounded weird to me, too.

It's a rerun, or so my onscreen guide says.

aha! well, thought I'd mention it, since it was floating around in my mind.

They did start using Espo earlier in the season - the first time I noticed it, Beckett was answering a call from Espo, and I was all, "Espo? Really?" So they have used it a couple times, but I would put down cash money that it started just his season.
