verdana November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 The episode was just ok for me, I mean after watching the episode twice I still dont get the AU part. Did Castle hit his head or what? Another small nitpick would it have killed Castle and Becket to have Lanie Esposito and Ryan there, those three are Castle and Becketts best friends. No he didn't hit his head as far as I'm aware, they seem to have left it up to the audience to believe whatever they wanted to about the AU and what happened which is what they did in Time Will Tell which Miller also wrote. I don't like it, they need to give rational answers to things this is not the Xfiles. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/17316-s07e06-the-time-of-our-lives/page/3/#findComment-557208
TWP November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 (edited) Interesting. I just re-watched the wedding scene. After Beckett says, "It's Perfect," Castle suddenly gets a worried look as if he disagrees. Is Castle's past going to get in the way of their fairy tale romance? Or is this just another case of Marlowe inserting crap that never gets any further explanation. Atrocious CGI aside, I still loved the wedding. I think it trumps the Always end scene. Castle saying "Mrs. Castle" in that husky voice....mmmmm, dreamy. I think I may be hooked again. But it could mean I raise my expectation level above "doesn't suck". Marlowe doesn't want that.

verdana November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 (edited) Speaking of drinking, still can't get over Jim Beckett drinking what looks like champagne! How could writers/production have missed that?! I watched that bit again and it does look like that. Doesn't help when they shove a big bottle of champagne into shot either to underscore its celebration time. I'm surprised that no one tweeted Terri about it, they were tweeting about everything else. Or may be some did and she refused to answer those ones! I feel sorry for Beckett, she only has dad family wise (I'm discounting old Aunt Teresa) but they can't even manage to let her get a few words in with him on one of the most important days of her life. Presumably they did talk but off screen of course which is of no use to me. I know Scott is presumably working on other things a lot of the time but they obviously keep him on call so you would think they would write something more substantial so they can enjoy some father/daughter moments just like Castle does with his family. The Time of Our Lives – A Good Cop/Bad Wedding Photographer Review Melanie noted Jim drinking too as she says that was a "major goof" given this has been a major point driven home throughout the course of the show. I think quite a few would agree with her on that. Edited November 12, 2014 by verdana Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/17316-s07e06-the-time-of-our-lives/page/3/#findComment-557543

The thing I was worried about was the Sorenson situation. I knew that was going to be in the episode and my concern originally was if you took away the AU how does it play to them getting married after Beckett's concerns at the beginning when they're going into the warehouse. I saw the look on Castle's face more relief than concern to the perfect comment since it bookended the scene at the warehouse (perfect day, etc).

KaveDweller November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 I liked this episode a lot but must admit that in the back of my mind I was wondering if doing the AU was “jumping the shark” into Fringe territory. What I didn’t like was that this Castle essentially got AU Castle killed and on his return didn’t give it another thought. That’s all very well for him because he jumped back into a living body, but the AU Castle no longer has one and so must die for real. Seeing that the AU Castle has a daughter and Mother too, Castle messed up the AU real bad in order to get his ‘affirmation’ that life together with Beckett was better than without. The writers could have done without having to wring out a big “gives his life for Beckett" scene, IMO. If it makes you feel any better, I just saw two different fan fics where AU Castle survives the shooting and he and AU Beckett end up together.

It was one of my favourite moments actually, Fillion did that really well, he's so good at those little reaction shots which can convey so much without him having to say a word. Like some others, I read Castle's reaction to Beckett telling him that it was perfect to be one of almost overwhelming happiness and satisfaction and some relief from his guilt that he was able to give Beckett a perfect wedding after what happened last time and with this being so spur of the moment. No sense of foreboding at all. He was happy and at peace on hearing that Beckett was happy with the wedding. It was a beautiful moment from them both. I do love when they dance and embrace and whisper in each other's ears like that. Love the height difference when Beckett's without heels, but they fit so well physically like this as well. Only wish there had been shots in the episode showing them like they were in the pics released after the episode, with foreheads touching and looking at each other with love before closing eyes together contently. Seeing the individual headshots of them as they danced was nice, but I wanted one of them close up together where we could see their facial expressions as well before panning out. Well, she's married to a millionaire now. No reason to worry about that credit card bill. Still would love to have a talk about money as newlyweds. Surely it's bound to come up (or should have already). Castle's probably issued her a credit card from his accounts, or opened a joint account with both their names. How does Beckett feel about spending his money? Maybe he's mentioned the Hamptons house being their house. There's a lot that goes with being Mrs. Castle and I'd like them to touch on that. But they haven't been interested in the subject before so maybe they won't be now. If it makes you feel any better, I just saw two different fan fics where AU Castle survives the shooting and he and AU Beckett end up together. Beckett survived getting shot in the chest, so why couldn't AU Castle? I enjoyed those fanfics. Glad to see Capt. Beckett find some happiness of her own with AU Castle even if it wasn't the Castle who was already in love with her in the episode. These pictures from Andrew the camera guy are interesting of the BTS work on the wedding. They are interesting and really take away the romance of filming heh. Kudos to the actors for mustering up the romantic vibes whilst standing in front of a blue screen on a fake looking pavilion with an artificial fan blowing at you in a cavernous warehouse. I wonder what Stana's reaction was to filming/seeing the bluescreen and the sunset in the episode after they abandoned the beautiful location and dress in the finale. Luke seems to be seriously into denim at the moment he dresses Stana in it a lot. I don't find it appropriate at all for her job, far too casual. Still can't get over Capt. Beckett wearing what could pass for a black bra as it was so low cut under her power suit. I think Luke described it as "sexy business", which I find completely inappropriate for a police captain, or any businesswoman who wants to be taken seriously. ;) Not surprised the writers haven't responded to either the use of the blue/green screen, or the geography and drinking mess up because they rarely respond to slip ups. ;) It didn't ruin the wedding for me or anything, but the terrible sunset which if so obviously terrible to lay people must have been beyond obvious to the professionals. So why did they choose that option when they knew there was a risk of marring a beautifully written scene and all too important moment? They had plenty of time to plan ahead. They had scouted a beautiful (wasted) location last time. Was it budget issues? But if they had enough budget for a 3rd wedding outfit ;) and chose to blow so much on the barely used wedding location in the finale, they should have known to leave enough in the budget for the all important real wedding. I don't watch Bones or Revenge but imagine those shows have had multiple wedding(s). Did their wedding locations ever look as fake?

No idea about Revenge as I have never watched it, but Bones had one wedding in a jail cell (Hodgins/Angela) with a sheriff and judge as the only others there (long story) and their aborted attempt was in a church before that. And Booth and Brennan wed outdoors in some garden near the Jeffersonian. In their case, it really was outdoors, with everyone present. So, no fake backgrounds there, anyway.

KaveDweller November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 Still would love to have a talk about money as newlyweds. I would love this as well. I really can't believe it hasn't already happened, because it seems like such a natural thing. There should have been some kind of reference to a pre-nup too. Not that I think there should have had one, just that it should have been discussed. Still can't get over Capt. Beckett wearing what could pass for a black bra as it was so low cut under her power suit. I think Luke described it as "sexy business", which I find completely inappropriate for a police captain, or any businesswoman who wants to be taken seriously. ;) What I find amusing about it is when we first see Captain Beckett she's wearing a turtleneck under her jacket. Then she meets Castle and comes in the next day with super low cut top. It reminds me of all the theories about how Beckett's appearance changed over the years because of Castle. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/17316-s07e06-the-time-of-our-lives/page/3/#findComment-560772

I totally agree and noticed that as well. I think Beckett's wardrobe changed gradually over the seasons and, yes, I think it had something to do with Castle. I think it was Beckett coming into her own and being okay w. showing this side of herself that was already there. "Don't tell me you dressed like that for Esposito?" Yes, even Castle noticed? lol. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/17316-s07e06-the-time-of-our-lives/page/3/#findComment-560813
verdana November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 (edited) #No 3 is fantastic, thank you Samantha, black and white is the way to go! No fake background for the Bones wedding in fact I wonder whether Marlowe deliberately fucked his up just so there would be no comparisons made between the fans and entertainment critics. Okay may be that's reaching but it does make me wonder because there has been some needling there in the past between HH and Marlowe and the Bones wedding was well received as I recall. The low cut neckline on Beckett with that jacket was not necessary, the one thing I've always liked about Castle is that they usually avoid that kind of thing. I would love this as well. I really can't believe it hasn't already happened, because it seems like such a natural thing. There should have been some kind of reference to a pre-nup too. Not that I think there should have had one, just that it should have been discussed. Based on Amann's recent interviews we might finally be getting to hear about things like this, because lets face it what else have they got on the table to interest the fans if they're not going to delve into their private lives in some way now they're finally husband and wife? Although as for the prenup there's no way in hell a wealthy guy like him with lawyers on tap (and the wealthy always do) that he wouldn't have sorted the situation out by now with Beckett. He also has his daughter and mother to think about and secure their futures too not just Beckett. That doesn't mean he would have automatically got one (although his lawyer would no doubt be wanting him to best structure his finances to take account of all eventualities including a future scorned spouse) but the idea he's just got married after two divorces no less without even bringing the matter up is laughable.

AntiBeeSpray November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 Like some others, I read Castle's reaction to Beckett telling him that it was perfect to be one of almost overwhelming happiness and satisfaction and some relief from his guilt that he was able to give Beckett a perfect wedding after what happened last time and with this being so spur of the moment. No sense of foreboding at all. He was happy and at peace on hearing that Beckett was happy with the wedding. It was a beautiful moment from them both. I do love when they dance and embrace and whisper in each other's ears like that. Love the height difference when Beckett's without heels, but they fit so well physically like this as well. Only wish there had been shots in the episode showing them like they were in the pics released after the episode, with foreheads touching and looking at each other with love before closing eyes together contently. Seeing the individual headshots of them as they danced was nice, but I wanted one of them close up together where we could see their facial expressions as well before panning out. Still would love to have a talk about money as newlyweds. Surely it's bound to come up (or should have already). Castle's probably issued her a credit card from his accounts, or opened a joint account with both their names. How does Beckett feel about spending his money? Maybe he's mentioned the Hamptons house being their house. There's a lot that goes with being Mrs. Castle and I'd like them to touch on that. But they haven't been interested in the subject before so maybe they won't be now. I enjoyed those fanfics. Glad to see Capt. Beckett find some happiness of her own with AU Castle even if it wasn't the Castle who was already in love with her in the episode. They are interesting and really take away the romance of filming heh. Kudos to the actors for mustering up the romantic vibes whilst standing in front of a blue screen on a fake looking pavilion with an artificial fan blowing at you in a cavernous warehouse. I wonder what Stana's reaction was to filming/seeing the bluescreen and the sunset in the episode after they abandoned the beautiful location and dress in the finale. Still can't get over Capt. Beckett wearing what could pass for a black bra as it was so low cut under her power suit. I think Luke described it as "sexy business", which I find completely inappropriate for a police captain, or any businesswoman who wants to be taken seriously. ;) Not surprised the writers haven't responded to either the use of the blue/green screen, or the geography and drinking mess up because they rarely respond to slip ups. ;) It didn't ruin the wedding for me or anything, but the terrible sunset which if so obviously terrible to lay people must have been beyond obvious to the professionals. So why did they choose that option when they knew there was a risk of marring a beautifully written scene and all too important moment? They had plenty of time to plan ahead. They had scouted a beautiful (wasted) location last time. Was it budget issues? But if they had enough budget for a 3rd wedding outfit ;) and chose to blow so much on the barely used wedding location in the finale, they should have known to leave enough in the budget for the all important real wedding. I don't watch Bones or Revenge but imagine those shows have had multiple wedding(s). Did their wedding locations ever look as fake? Bones, no. Heck it was downright beautiful. From the wedding, spoilered just in case. They did an incredible job. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/17316-s07e06-the-time-of-our-lives/page/3/#findComment-561139
WendyCR72 November 13, 2014 Author Share November 13, 2014 Yeah, I liked that, but I wish Booth's vows were up, too. Some great callbacks in his. But on the Castle front, at least the wedding happened. But I guess I'm a traditionalist, because I so wasn't feeling Beckett's pants. The bolero jacket was great, but I'd've preferred a dress or skirt or something. Probably more in line for the fashion thread, but as it is commenting on the episode, I'll split hairs and leave it here.

turnitwayup November 13, 2014 Share November 13, 2014 I don't watch Bones or Revenge but imagine those shows have had multiple wedding(s). Did their wedding locations ever look as fake? Nope. Emily and Daniel's wedding on Revenge was at the Frank Lloyd Wright's Wayfarers Chapel. TPTB went all out with showing the wedding pics, 1st dance & cutting the cake. Jack and Amanda's wedding was sweet, intimate and actually shot on a beach (possibly at Laguna Niguel). At least they actually do a decent job not making their effects look obvious fake. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/17316-s07e06-the-time-of-our-lives/page/3/#findComment-562303
femmefan1946 November 13, 2014 Share November 13, 2014 Beckett-Castle is a mouthful, so I doubt that. Don't ever ever ever double-barrel your name! Take it from one who did way back in 1968 when I married. And mine is made up of two unusual surnames. If you have my husband's name , you are a relation. Nobody can pronounce either one. You will never know how the bank/gascompany/dentist/ hydro/phonecompany have you filed- as first name, second name or both. You can't get a hyphen on a credit card so your maiden name will become your first name. You will have an argument about the family name of the babies. Keep your own name. Or use his name. But please don't double-barrel your name. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/17316-s07e06-the-time-of-our-lives/page/3/#findComment-562543

madmaverick November 13, 2014 Share November 13, 2014 On rewatch, love how AU Beckett's doing her lip biting thing whilst reading the Castle book and after that theory building chemical interaction with him. Oh yeah, girl was interested. It's interesting how AU Beckett was kind of more receptive to Castle than pilot Beckett, or at least, less outwardly annoyed. Even revealing to him she had loved his books after a day and saying yes to a date. Maybe she'd been alone and lonely for longer and was really hungering for a deeper human connection, that she could feel was possible with Castle. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/17316-s07e06-the-time-of-our-lives/page/3/#findComment-564864
verdana November 14, 2014 Share November 14, 2014 (edited) Maybe she'd been alone and lonely for longer and was really hungering for a deeper human connection, that she could feel was possible with Castle. I think she was terribly lonely and that made her more receptive to him plus they had this fundamental attraction to each other, that's what made it so sad when he died in the AU. People were mentioning fanfics and here's a list of them for any one interested in diving in and seeing what they can find. The Time of Our Lives Alternate Universe fics and one more here.
