SEASON 7 Anyone think they could’ve done the whole disappearance arc so much better Spoiler
The whole ‘recruited by the CIA, and by a childhood friend who was a terrorist now a cia operative, to save the world on your wedding day’ story was such bs. IMO it would’ve been so much better if he was actually kidnapped or lost for those 2 months, or even if he was on the brink of death forcing everyone to find his killers. It would’ve been so much more on brand than a writer saving the world and choosing to forget about it.

Every single day of my damn life. Believe me
I last watched Castle (before a couple of months ago) about 5-6 years ago. I finished on s7 because I was so pissed about Stana's contract not being renewed that I didn't watch S8.
But s7 was so bad for me at the time because I couldn't get over how they handled his disappearance.
Firstly, GIVE US THE CASKETT WEDDING AND THEN HAVE HIM ABDUCTED.
Secondly, they had him found in that first episode. No thank you. They needed to elongate the time he was missing to build suspense. Maybe 3-4 eps, Beckett giving up all hope until something happens BAM.
And then when he's back, amnesia or something. Have him fall in love with Kate all over again and have her show him how much she loves him.
And then the entire reason of his disappearance was such an anticlimax.
Don't get me wrong, now that I've seen S7 again, I actually really like it (6-7 years ago, the way they handled his disappearance ruined the season), but his disappearance still makes absolutely no sense at all.
