User Reviews

Entertaining, but...

Let me start off by listing the good points of this episode:

1. The case was interesting and very entertaining. Sexpionage! It doesn't get much better than that.

2. One of my favorite actresses, Jaime Ray Newman, guest-starred. I've loved her ever since she played Lt. Laura Cadman in the Stargate Atlantis episode "Duet". It's always a joy to see her on my screen. :)

3. It was great to see the tension and jealousy between Lanie and Esposito. When they first got together, it seemed like it came out of nowhere, but now that they're broken up, I really see the chemistry between them.

4. The team dynamic was fantastic! I especially loved the "fight" between Ryan and Esposito.

5. The CASKETT MOMENTS!! They were all amazing, but my personal favorite is when Castle describes his "date". The look on Beckett's face really tells me that she still has feelings for him.

Now for the bad part of this episode:

"Til Death Do Us Part" was entertaining, BUT... There is one part of this episode that was very disappointing - the wedding. I was hoping for beautiful vows between Ryan and Jenny, the "you may kiss the bride" scene, their first dance as man and wife... Instead, the wedding got stuffed into the last 2 minutes of the episode. It was like the writers forgot about the wedding until the last minute and decided to squeeze it in at the end as an afterthought. We've only seen Jenny in a handful of episodes, and although I like her, I don't really know her. I wish the writers would explore Ryan and Jenny's relationship more. Castle and Beckett aren't the only characters, you know! Oh, that reminds me, I was also hoping for a Caskett dance scene at the wedding reception...

All in all, this was a great episode, but the ending could have been SO much better, despite the wonderful "third time's the charm" moment between Castle and Beckett. 8/10
