Castle, season 6 so far

[tari_roo]

I must say I was a little annoyed with the cliffie ending of season 5. It felt... too soap opera-ish and OTT, but I was willing to go with it. Now though, the opening episodes of season 6 have me on the fence. I love them, because it's still Castle and he's awesome and he shock-kissed the Captain as a strategy! but it also feels weird.... which is also perhaps a sign that the 'overhanging weirdness of Castle's disapperance' is working. The fence for me (the one I am circling warily) is I don't know if I like the 'disappearance' subplot. It feels too... I have no words, too peculair for Castle?
