Review - Castle Season 2 Episode 24 A Deadly Game

I was hoping the writers wouldn't go down the typical route, but they did. The big decision the last 4 episodes have been coming to arrives and Beckett chooses Castle, breaking up with Demming. BUT--before she can fully express her feelings to Castle, and I think we all know where she was going, Castle's ex-wife/publisher, Gina, shows up. Apparently she and Castle talked for hours the previous night and will spend the summer in the Hamptons. After all those crestfallen looks Castle has given the past few episodes, it's Beckett's turn to be disappointed. Well, should have acted faster.

And as these artificial roadblocks go, this one wasn't very original. All Beckett had to do was finish the sentence and Castle could make a decision, but Beckett was about a minute late. It's only the second season, so there's still time before the show becomes Bones where the relationship has become insipid and trite.

The case was the usual stuff revolving around the cool idea of a spycation. At first, the people in charge of the spycation, so they follow up on leads that end up nowhere until they focus on the victim and discover 2 affairs. The woman's husband who the victim was having an affair with killed him.

Score: 8.9/10
