Seriously? OMG! WTF?

It seems like the last few seasons of Castle have ended with contract negotiations between the leads Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, and this season one of them wasn’t asked to renew their contract according to Deadline. ABC reportedly needs to save some money on the ageing procedural and they did not ask Katic and Tamala Jones to return for the 9th season, if there is one.
I ask you, with these forced departures, is there any reason for this show to go on? I say close the book on this series. It is time. Actually it has been time ever since they made Castle disappear on his wedding day and still have not explained what really happened. They tried to this season, but I got bored and fell asleep during that episode.
On that note, a few weeks ago, my friend predicted that show was going to turn into Castle running his private eye agency with his daughter (Molly C. Quinn) and Hayley (Toks Olagundoye). I guess she was right, and I was really hoping she was wrong.
Back to Katic, here is what she had to say to Deadline about her departure, “Rather then distract from what was an amazing experience, I would just like to say that I’m very grateful to ABC for giving me the opportunity to be a part of a much beloved show. Thank you to the fans.” I am sure this won’t be the last we see of her. She will wind up on something that appreciates her. Something Castle hasn’t done in years.

UPDATE: Jon Huertas Tweeted an update about Seamus Dever and his situation, “Who knows what ABC has in store at this point. @seamusdever & I haven’t been asked back yet either… Uh oh. #NothingIsAsitSeemsAnymore” Without the four of them there really is not reason to do another season.

Tonight at 8p on Fox, we get the 4th episode of the 6 episode X-Files event.
In Philadelphia, a group of people are forcibly relocating homeless people off of the street and now the ones responsible are dying very gruesome deaths.
Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Mulder (David Duchovny) are called in to investigate the murders because they are “spooky.” Will they be able solve the crime before anyone else dies or will this unknown creature kill all of his targets?
Things will get complicated for them when Scully gets a phone call that her mother had a major heart attack and is in a coma at a DC hospital. She goes to be with her mom, but it makes her think about William. For the first time in the revival, the agents really deal with the son they gave up for adoption. Get the tissues ready because you are going to need them.
While I am happy Fox brought back The X-Files, I am sad it is only for 6 episodes because each one is better than the one before.

Then over on ABC at 10p, Castle is finally back and it is something to sing about.
Martha (Susan Sullivan) is rehearsing for a charity performance that calls for fake snow to fall down on her and her backup singers, but instead of the white stuff coming down, blood pours down. When they bring the storage container down, they find a woman inside.
Now it is up to Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stania Katic) to solve the crime, but via different paths. You see, they are back together secretly, but everyone including Ravi (Jon Huertas) and Ryan (Seamus Dever) still they think they apart. Which makes things awkward for Castle and the two detectives because he has to lie to them and tells them that he is having an affair. When they hear that, they turn against them. Can they forgive him without knowing the real truth of the situation?
Back to the murder, turns out the victim was in an A Capella group, and Ravi talks to them in the only language they understand, music. Be prepared to blown way by Huertas’ singing voice, I know I was. Castle needs to do musical episode just to accommodate it.
Until then we have tonight’s wonderful episode.
