Oh my goodness, this episode is so beyond stupid. I had heard that this show goes downhill after season 5 but I never could've imagined that it could get this bad. I thought the invisibility thing was silly but this is a whole other level. Castle and Becket's relationship has had its moments and even carried the show at times, but lately the writers seem to be using them purely for fan service. We have known since day one that their relationship is why the show exists, Castle is there helping the NYPD because they have a connection and she is his "muse" or whatever. We do not need it spelled out to us how important they are to each other, and we really really really don't need this well written, GROUNDED, whodunnit cop show to have an alternate universe episode so to explain what the protagonists mean to each other. Then the corniness, from the I love you bringing him back to the sunset last minute moment with one of the worst green screens I've ever seen. I'm convinced they had them ((spoiler!!! Get married in this episode purely so fans wouldn't want to say that they hated it. I liked them together to some degree so I'm genuinely upset that this is how they got married)))

That is 45 minutes of my life I will never get back. Plus I hate to say it but their chemistry in this episode just isn't what it was in the earlier seasons, I think the writers must've thought that the show needed their yearning slow burn bs back but they utterly failed to recapture the magic. And a finial point, chalking up Castle and Alexis' entire relationship to his books selling well is deeply disrespectful to both characters. I mean geez oh man it's a procedural cop drama, could you really be THIS out of ideas?
