Behind on most of my shows, among other things, and I'm plodding forward.  Just saw the Castle episode "The Time of Our Lives."  WTF?  I mean, it was a cute episode and the ending was a) lovely and b) a long time in coming, good job finally getting it together, show.  But seriously, what was this plot?  I mean, I'm an SF buff, I can suspend my disbelief through a departure from the possible, but only if that has been telegraphed to me by the plot of the program in advance.

You cannot go 7 seasons having everything be essentially real-world logic with occaisional departures into silliness and a handful of plotlines which could be explained by supernatural means or natural ones depending on how you want to take it, and then be like "Oh hey, alternate universe episode kids.  Bye."

I just don't get it.

Personally, I didn't mind it.

What I liked is that it played itself off as possibly being a dream, similar to something like The Wizard of Oz in a sense. You can come to the conclusion that it might've been an alternate reality, or that it was just a concoction from Castle's mind as something that he needed to come to terms with regarding his relationship with Beckett. So it worked out well, imho. Also, it had little connections to how they first met and everything, it was cute.

I agree that it was cute. I don't know, I guess I just found the possibility of a mundane explanation a little more tenuous than usual. I didn't think it was bad, just... odd.

Yeah, that one kind of threw me, too - but it was Castle, so in many ways, I just shook it off and rolled with it. We ARE talking about Rick here, lol!!
