Obviously, spoilers for the ep ahead...
Eye-Q: Well, it's still possible it's both.
Overall, I liked the ep. The whole amnesia angle was kind of expected because they needed something to "reset" the relationship between Beckett and Castle (up to a point).
But the way they set it up was not expected. So now we have two month of mysterious activity for them to uncover which has the potential for several good episodes and a good season-wide story arc. Let's just hope they don't leave that largely unused like they tended to do with such stories in the past (Bracken).
A negative point for me: The ep rushed through a two-month timeframe without taking the time to appreciate how much the loss of Castle has to affect his family, friends and first and foremost his wife-to-be. I realize Castle is a lighthearted show at heart, but there was some drama missing here.
In the end, I hope this was a season opener in the literal sense: a first ep setting up the rest of the season. If that's not the case, it was indeed a wasted opportunity.
