Castle Series Finale Recap: Does Caskett Get Their Happily Ever After?
What became the series finale was originally meant to take the show to a very dark place, and become a cliffhanger for a ninth season we now know will never be.
All season long, the show has been building up a grand mystery involving LokSat that gets fully concluded in the last act, so was the final scene, in which Castle and Beckett takes bullets to the chest and gut, even necessary?
Yes, the episode properly wraps up the show's one continuing arc, revealing Mason Woods from the Greatest Detective Agency to be the C.I.A.'s dirty analyst, but it all built to such an awkward final moment that it didn't feel like an honorable ending to the Caskett story at all.
