I loved the episode until the very last minutes, it is a funny one, with a bit of Dan Brown, some National treasure, and lots of good old Richard Castle. In a few words, dead body, symbols that lead to riddles that lead to a treasure? wow sounds great entertainment. Well, yes! it has action, fun and you see Castle fencing lol. Now, the ending, awkward moment between dad and daughter, and here I am thinking unless the writers are planning something big (like turning hideous-unbearable Pi character into a serial killer that has been deceiving everyone to get close to Castle or something like that).. well, they are ruining the beautiful relationship we have enjoyed between Castle and Alexis. It is understandable that she rebels a bit, or a lot, as she's 19, but the last scene was too much. He was too soft, ridiculously submissive. Man up Castle! She is not 30, only 19 but lectures dad? nope, I don't buy that. She is a spoiled brat (ok, his fault), but she used to be the "rational" and "mature" here. She also questions Beckett now? and Beckett could not be more indifferent regarding Castle's problems. Not supportive at all, come on they are engaged! Again, I had great fun watching this episode and the end left me with a sour taste, almost ruining the whole experience

I have watched the show from the pilot onwards, with its ups and downs, this is one goes downhill. The story arc involving unrealistic savant Pelant ends here, in the most stupid way. The episode starts quite well, with all the good forensic-related stuff we are used to and a great plan to catch the hacker-killer-genius-supernatural almighty omnipresent-whatever this Pelant is supposed to be (here writers are really testing one's intelligence.. anyway..). Angela went from forensic artist to mega hacker, how did this happen? dunno. Bones went from ultra rational, martial arts expert to damsel in distress entering the lion's den ¿what? Booth did everything wrong, as sloppy as possible from the tactical - procedural point of view at least; and ends Pelant's life in a non spectacular, non dramatic, non nothing way. What a waste! is this how you end a story arc that you have been stretching for so long? BANG. Guy died, the arch-villain at the very end was only in love, poor thing. Now, in the same location, seconds after executing a man, would you marry me? Disastrous, insulting my intellect (I say, and I really loved the show!)
