Oh noes! Iz is spoiled! Oh, that one... I never really considered Castle to be a detective-mystery show. It's a romantic comedy with detective-mystery tropes. Of course, the big mystery you've probably already encountered... And, of course, your conjecture only works in the environment of a TV show, rather than real life. So if a show was to concentrate on the real life decision process rather than TV reality, does that make it a bad plot?
:D Yes, it's not a detective-mystery show, although it is set in the same kind of setting.
The critical word in the exposition was 'vaporised'. The dead person was vaporised, so the body could never be found. If the body was never found, then in true soapie style, the 'dead person' will turn up in act four.
There were many reasons I stopped watching CSI of any kind. Firstly, the interminable 'Science!' which had to be presented in New! Exciting! Camera shots! Secondly, the journey to find out who had Done It once the first minute or so had revealed enough details for that to be figured out, that journey was just not interesting enough. Thirdly, the characters felt like they were not going to grow as characters, except in specific episodes where we Find! Out! Backstory
( ... )
I also HATE romantic comedies, by the way :P But I love Castle. That's because most romantic comedies tend to fail the reality test, and are really only a substitute for a tub of chocolate icecream. What I hope is that they continue to let the relationship develop naturally in Castle and don't stall it simply to maintain a false sexual tension. Which reminds me, I must propogate a friends meme.
