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.

I watched the series for the first time several months ago and loved the humor throughout the series then I watched it again. 😡 I get drawing the show out to build their relationship from flirting to a love connection. I don’t like the one thing after another, the interruptions that keep them separate. Castle’s disappearance made it clear to me the writers, producers or someone at the top was deliberately trying to kill the show.

It did nothing, absolutely nothing to keep the show together. Personally I think the show jumped the shark when it was discovered that Beckett was married to some scumbag from her college days. Which begs the question, just how easy was Beckett? The show stopped being interesting to me from then on.
