TFTNT!

Sneak Peek 1 is so funny! Hopefully, the whole episode will be before the big finale!

No problem :)

I haven't seen it yet, but I hope it is a funny and good episode :nod:

Again, so-so.

Loved how Beckett scared Castle a few times :lmao:

And... I will make an assumption that is probably just as 'out-there' as the episode - Castle will use this Victor Crowne for Beckett again at some point.

I liked the episode.

Beckett scaring Castle was my favourite part :lol: and I love that at the end they both scared Alexis and Hayley.

And of course there was a logical explanation for everything :lol:

Let me start by saying, I honestly couldn't get into the episode. For much of it, it really was just background noise.

I have no idea what the case was truly about. The one scene where Ryan, Espo, Hayley, Alexis and Castle were discussing/theorizing about the case minus Beckett only confirmed for me I def. wont be part of S9. I had the thought in that moment, "Well, there's S9 right there."

The only bright spot in the episode for me, personally, was Beckett. The scene were she scared Castle was hilarious. I love those moments of the show!

This episode wasn't good. There something about this season that turned me off about this show. How can the writers make Castle so stupid. I miss the way he used to act in his scenes with other people in it. Beckett was the only part I like about this episode.

I have this feeling she going to get a lot more screen time next week because it her last. But I could be wrong.

I didn't care for this episode much. They should've aired in October though, closer to Halloween. The best part of the show was Beckett messing with Castle and then them scaring Hayley and Alexis :lol:

I agree there is def. something about this season. I've been watching though all the way up until they announced the news about Stana, since then I've recorded and watched it the next morning. I can't watch live knowing it's her last few episodes. I'm hoping she gets more screentime considering it's her last episode though it wouldn't surprise me any if she didn't :(. Really wish they'd come to a conclusion about season 9, it's eating me away not knowing. I really want to watch the finale live but I just can't if it's her last episode and the ending is devastating because then I'll be up all night more than likely crying.

To be honest I haven't watched and probably won't :shrug:

I totally agree, people say give s9 a chance but I didn't really enjoy the Beckett-less episodes this year or many of the scenes without her to be honest. So no, I won't be part of it either.

The Beckett-less episodes had the lowest ratings, but I guess they don't care about their ratings :confused:

I guess I was the only one that liked this episode then :look: :lol:

I do agree about the scene with Ryan, Espo, Hayley, Alexis and Castle in the safe. They're really setting up the new format of the show :(

^^:lol: honestly if they hadn't said two words about Stana being fired I probably would've liked it better but when it's at the end for your favorite character you catch on to the little things (she didn't have much screen time, the other 4 in the safe when IMO Beckett should've been next to her husband). I think a lot of people would feel the same lol. I think knowing about next week made it hard for a lot of us to really get into the ep.

True :nod: It is hard to enjoy these episodes and it doesn't help that Stana is kind of in the background. It really feels like they are preparing the fans for a show without Stana so I get that a lot of people didn't enjoy the episode. I thought the case was funny though and I liked the Beckett scenes we got.

The Beckett scenes are what I remember the most :lol: love how teases Castle she got him good, twice lol

That was funny, and she seemed so proud of herself :lol:
