Loved it! Loved it!Loved it! Beckett coming out all sexy and Martha ruining it I love the Caskette moments especially the wife moments when Kate asked the boys to make sure they call Castle and let him rub the lamp. LOL! That was such a wife thing to do. I love when she has his back like that. The baby is born and thank goodness it is okay as well as Jenny. I will forever call Castle fantasy augmented. LOL!! Castle locking Kate out of interrogation I almost fell out of my chair. LOL! I will be watching this episode a whole lot of times.

OMG I had to rewind scenes over and over with this episode

Best episode of the season in my opinion, added greater because of my love for the Disney Aladdin movie.

And you know I've seen that book '1001 Arabian Nights' and just when I think I'll get to it I don't because I end up reading other books but damn, Castle's summary made me want to read it now!

Okay so those thoughts aside, time for my real review.

~*~*~

Caskett:

Gah the one thing I had wished they had wished for was "a baby of their own". How perfect would that have been given that the episode was all about wishes and then ended with them at the hospital welcoming the new Ryan baby?!

And afterall, why not, these two are jumping each others bones like rabbits so a baby would be logical right!

Other than my own little fantasy, Caskett was downright amazing.

OMG Caskett sexy time in the kitchen was amazing. (as a Stana fangirl moment- thank you camera angles!!!! )

It was great up until that moment when Martha ****-blocked them
Loved Beckett hiding behind Castle. LOL.

Castle and his fun theory making and Beckett's annoyance/pretend annoyance.

So adorable when Beckett told the guys she wanted Castle to tag along in case they found the lamp, and then to give him the first rub. Too adorable on Beckett's part- the crazy things she does for her hubby!

Let's see then we got the cute cheek kiss and then later on we got Beckett wanting her man to take her to bed

Oh man so hilarious when Castle rushed in front of Beckett and locked her out while he made some comments to Genevieve

And OMG the Caskett cuteness overload at the hospital, I died with all of that, they literally melted me into goop!

Let me just say, I have my wish: I wish for a CASKETT BABY!!!!!

~*~*~

The Case:

I love when the show takes on cases based off fantasy or classic tales so when this one was going to be about Aladdin's lamp and Genies I got super excited as "Aladdin" was one of my favorite Disney movies growing up.

I spend too much time on American literature/American history that I've never gotten a chance to explore other cultural tales (unless they have to do with UFOlogy from other countries, then I'm all over those) so I don't know much in terms of Middle Eastern tales.

Castle's summary of '1001 Arabian Nights' sure peeked my curiosity of that book though even though I have considered reading it time and time again.

I loved how fun this case was. And it was very Classic Castle in the best of ways. Mainly that I couldn't peg the killer! I love when it becomes hard.

And all the theorizing was fun as hell especially on Castle's part. And even Castle getting into all sorts of trouble.

I felt so sad for that professor, that she turned out to be the killer. She was actually the least I would have expected. I guess because I've had some of professors back in my college career that you don't think these kind and seemingly sweet older men and women could have the potential to do such things.

OMFG, the boys finally found a way to get Castle! I laughed so hard when they showed him a picture of the tv show Genie

~*~*~

The End:

Gah can we talk about that ending! Absolutely one of the best endings this show has had in a long time!

So terrifying about Jenny's pregnancy scare but I'm glad things turned out okay in the end.

And it's a boy, I was so hoping that Ryan's next child would be a boy!

Nicholas Javier Ryan.

Such a perfect name. Even Javier works with it. And I love how Ryan stuck to it- how he told Javi in that fire that if he had a son he would name it Javier and sure enough he did.

(Okay fantasy playing out: Now Caskett have a baby girl and then baby girl Castle and baby girl Ryan grow up as playmates and become soulmates, making the Ryan's and the Castle's as in laws )

We got group hugs and Caskett lovin'- what could be more perfect?!

Overall, amazing episode

So many feels this episode

Caskett kitchen scene was amazing, loved Kate's robe. Gotta leave it to Martha to interrupt them . Only Martha would continue to go on and on and then basically tell them to get back too it, like she did nothing wrong

The case was awesome and gave me S3-4 feels. Loved Ryan and Espo getting Castle with the Genie picture

Stana's facials throughout the whole episode were on point. She speaks volumes with her facials alone, no need for speaking .

Castle saying he doesn't need any wishes at the end that he has everything he could ever want his comment about a time machine to fall back in love with Beckett was everything .

I teared up at Jenny beginning to have issues in labor. I wouldn't think the writers would go there and would let him be okay but the feeling Seamus gave out in that scene really hit me. Love the name- Nicholas Javier Ryan I love that Ryan stuck with what he said about using Javi's name.

And I so agree with you about a future with Nicholas and a baby girl Castle though I really want their first child to be a boy to protect his younger sister if they get to it, it could work and Nicky would only be say 3ish years older if the baby Castles are born back to back. Or they could be twins

Man this season keeps getting better and better I swear TPW and AH are bringing it back to its core with crazy Castle theories, boys knocking on him, Sweet heart melting Caskett moments and good cases. I love them so much for it. not that S6 or S7 were bad in any way I loved those season so very much but its nice to tap back into why it became so popular in the first place and this ep did just that.

i mean the beginning These two never stop and I LOVE it damn Beckett being all sexy in her lingerie and Castle gaping haha as always Martha interrupting she has the WORST timing ever I loved Beckett hiding behind him and leaning on his shoulder during their convo She totally killed the mood saying she had the same thing LMAO oh my god....

Enjoyed Castle telling everyone about that book I've never read it so intrigued me. His head jokes were wonderfully awful haha even Castle Jr wasn't buying

The case was super intriguing with Aladdin's Lamp his obsession with Genies was too damn funny with both Alexis and Kate. Their banter behind the window while Espo/Ryna interrogated Lars partner too damn funny classic Caskett.

He may have been a goober whole ep but he was her goober she was Love-balling him all over that ep

The scene when they're home discussing the mystery blonde Beckett was SOOOOOO jealous oh my. Her saying she wanted to interrogate him and getting irked bout the master business and calling him her man hehe and saying should be more interested in taking his wife to bed They were on point in this ep

Beckett asking the boys to wait so Castle could rub the lamp first was so perfect haha she's such a good wife hehe

The end scene with Jenny's labor was crazy serious at first and how Castle used his 'wishes' to to help their Kid. was so sweet. The last part Castle always knows just exactly what to say even Beckett was like damn that was the best answer you could've given hahah god i love them

I didn't see who wrote the ep but please let them write more enjoyed every minute of that ep.

Yup. First time writer on the show. She was an assistant last season. If we get season nine I hope she gets to write more. She gets Caskette and the rest of the group. It felt like old style Castle.

I love how jealous once again Kate was. It is funny to see. And I will never ever forget Castle locking out Kate during the interrogation.

I second that. Would love to see her write another episode next season if we get one. She made good use of everyone on the cast including those not shown (Jenny having the baby for example). I liked her use of history as well (Castle's theories).

I loved this episode. There were so many great Caskett moments. And I loved Castle at the crime scene, his jokes about head out without him and heading to the precinct.

And the final scene when he said he wouldn't need a genie, because he has everything he could ever want.

Besides, the scenes with Ryan and the others in hospital were great and I loved the second name of his boy is Javier. By the way, it reminded me how much I would love if Caskett would also get a kid and I hoped so bad that now they would wish also for a child. And if they get a baby some time, I'm also for a boy as first kid. He can be best buddy with Ryan's boy. And then a girl.
