We knew this week would be a crazy
journey once we found out we were dealing with suspects from “the future” and “Time
Will Tell” was definitely an adventure.
Full of crazy suspects, moments, and ideas that even had me questioning
if time travel was possible, the episode definitely got Castle fandom talking. That being said, the episode was full of great
moments but also had some points that were debated among the fandom. This week I decided to add a section called “The
Final Chapter” after the countdown that just has a little more on my opinion
about the episode and some of the hotter topics. Be sure to check it out! Let’s not waste anymore time (because we
wouldn’t want to alter the future with taking too long!) and get started!
5. Creepy Wedding
Vows
Arriving at the abandoned power
plant, Castle questions if their suspect would really come back to such a
creepy place. Beckett tells him if he is
too scared he could stay in the car. He
responds with “alone? In an abandoned power plant? No thank you. Maybe we should put something
in our vows about following each other into creepy places.” Beckett just smiles
and keeps walking but I’m sure the rest of us were picking out jaws up off the
floor. Not only are we getting all the “our
future” talk but now talk about vows?!?!
This episode was putting my shipper feels into overdrive! On a side note, I really hope Caskett writes
their own vows because I would love to hear them even if they do involve creepy
places!
4. Mom
and Dad
Still trying to convince
Alexis that she is making a mistake by moving in with Pi Castle upsets her on
the phone causing her to hang up on him.
Sensing Castle’s frustrating Beckett says “you know Castle, maybe this
is a good thing for her. I mean she sees
us and she sees you starting something new.
Maybes she’s just trying to figure out how she fits in.” Castle still doesn’t quite understand and
Kate explains that “this is about her growing up.” You can tell Castle understands and he talks
about if he had a time machine he would go back and relive all the moments with
Alexis like holding her tiny hand and putting her on his shoulders. Sensing his sadness, Beckett says “I know
Castle but think about all of the great times you have to look forward to in
her future and in ours.” Again with the “our
future! (see moment 2)” You’re killing
me out of Caskett-y goodness here Beckett!
Also, seeing Castle’s dad side always melts my heart so that helped give
this moment a boost. Another thing I
liked was seeing Beckett give Castle a little advice and perspective on Alexis’
actions. I always think it’s a little
preview of how great of a mom Beckett would be and I think it really helps
Castle to have her advice with tough situations. Don’t worry though, the serious moment takes
a usual Castle turn towards funny when Castle starts saying there may not be a
future if Simon is telling the truth!
3. Driving
Me Crazy!
In
the end, Beckett tries to tell Castle that there is a simple explanation to the
case, but Castle keeps talking about the future. Beckett clearly annoyed says “you’re
trying to drive me crazy aren’t you?”
Castle quickly responds with “Well apparently, I already do if we end up
with three kids.” He then wiggles his
eyebrows at Beckett and she can’t help but smile at him. Just then Simon shows
up and asks if they want to know the names and receives a quick response of “YES!”
from Castle and “no” from Beckett. Well
from the future or not, looks like we will just have to wait to see if there
are really three Caskett babies coming and what names they would choose. I know it’s way too early to speculate but
the topic was brought up so I will anyways! I would assume one of the children’s
names would honor Beckett’s mom but no clue besides that. Any thoughts? The real reason this is on the
countdown though, its classic Caskett banter and I love it!
2. “Our"
After
interrogating “Simon Doyle” Beckett immediately says “Castle for the sake of our future please tell me you don’t
believe that guy.” Castle says “Oh, no
but you gotta admit it’s a great story!”
A couple of things on this one:
First, Beckett talked about their future and not just casually, she put
a lot of emphasis on “our” as she said it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I love it when Beckett talks
about her future with Castle! After so
many years of denying it, it’s so refreshing to just have it all out in the
open. *Sigh* Second, I like how Castle
tried to brush it off like he didn’t believe Simon at all but you could tell he
just didn’t want Beckett and the boys to pick on him. If Castle didn’t buy into the whole “from the
future” component the episode wouldn’t have been nearly as entertaining! But back to the big deal here: “our future.” Man it just sounded so great to her Beckett
say that that it jumped straight into my short list for favorite moments!
1. Don’t
Judge a Book by its Book Jacket?
Ok
so maybe that’s not how the saying goes, but it applies here! Finding evidence in the power plant, Beckett
goes to call for backup but is attacked by Garrett Ward. Castle immediately wrestles the guy off her
but ends up being back into a wall and choked by him. Luckily for Castle, Simon walks in and
startles Ward causing him to run away. Beckett raises her gun on Simon and
questions him about getting out of holding and why he is involved. Simon tries to convince her they are on the
same side but she handcuffs him to a pipe.
Not impressed with Beckett, Simon says “Real charmer that one. I can’t believe you marry her.” Peaking
Castle’s interest he asks “How did you know I marry her?” Simon goes on to tell him he saw it on a book
jacket that said “Richard Castle lives in New York with his wife Senator
Beckett and their three children.” At
the same time Castle questions “Senator?” and Beckett says “Three kids?” SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. So maybe this guy is totally crazy, but let’s
take a moment to enjoy our own thoughts of Caskett babies… ok done! Now back to reality. I loved that Castle was stuck on the “Senator”
portion while Beckett was shocked by the “three kids” component. It was so funny to see Beckett’s face! Castle trying to protect Beckett and talk of
Caskett babies? Easily a top moment, but
be sure to read “The Final Chapter” below to see some of the problem I had with
this scene. Even with problems though,
you can’t beat this scene!
The Final Chapter:
Ok
let me start off by saying I absolutely loved the case in this episode. It was so perfect because you have a crazy farfetched
idea that only Castle believed, and then you had little moments like the future
of Caskett and the coffee spill that plant little seeds of doubt in Beckett’s skepticism. And obviously I loved a lot of moments from
the episode (there were plenty to choose from for the top 5!) but some things
from this episode just didn’t make sense to me. The first problem I had, and
let me preface this by saying I do realize that this guy was potentially crazy,
was that they speculated Beckett would be a Senator. I guess I just don’t see
Beckett as a Senator. She tried the federal route once and it just wasn’t for
her. I can’t really see her in that
position so I would have been happier with him saying Lieutenant or Police
Chief (something along those lines).
Senator just made me think of Bracken and I can’t imagine Beckett in
that position. The main thing I have an
issue with here is the Alexis/Pi storyline.
I know a lot of fans are upset about Alexis’ behavior but in all honesty
that doesn’t bother me all that much and neither does the fact she wants to move in with Pi.
She is being a typical 19 year old, thinking she is an adult trying to
make big life decisions on her own. I’m not saying I agree with how she treated
her dad or that she is moving in with Pi, I’m just saying I agree with Beckett
on this one (she is trying to find her place). Also, maybe now that Castle has Beckett she feels like she doesn't need to watch over her dad so much anymore. That being said, I just don’t
see the point of the Pi/Alexis storyline.
Alexis and Castle have always had such a great relationship and all of
this resistance to her dad’s guidance is new.
I guess I’ll just have to ride it out and trust AWM but for now I’ll
just cringe every time I hear “Mr. C” or see Pi. *Sigh* Please move on Alexis! Alright, rant over! I’m not saying the episode was bad, I’m just
saying there were components I wasn’t all that excited about. What did you guys think? The multiple perspectives of viewers is what
makes a fandom great so I would love to hear from you!
So what did you think?
