He very well may have.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I think it may be something like The Maltese Falcon. The falcon turned out to be a fake, but the treasure hunters decided it was a decoy and set off to look for the real one.

What was Castle/Joe's accent supposed to be? A variant on Bronx or something?
I used to listen to the old detective radio shows on CD, and he sounded a lot like those radio detectives, to me.

It's just striking me as wanky and self-indulgent
I'm forgiving them. I do believe it was their 200th episode and that always calls for schmaltz. At least they didn't pull in a TV production company to make a movie about them.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Actually, I liked this Castle more than I expected to. Too often, when a show does this kind of thing it comes off as overly wanky and self-indulgent but this time I was willing to go along with it. And I loved Ryan's "boyo" - past and present versions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That wasn't schmaltz, that was gold! I don't expect to ever see a better #200 than that, even if SPN ever made it that far.
I just dislike all the characters more than I did last week. An even more extreme effect than last week's Grey's had on me.

Unrelatedly, Castle/Beckett is doing really pretty badly against Quinn/Rachel in the E! Online couples poll, if you want to help out this very meaningful gauge: [link]

Castle/Beckett should do badly.

Heretic! I love the pairing. In a way that has me in no rush to see them actually liplock for reals, or anything. I think they're great together the way they are.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And Quin/Rachel are the WORST.
