Yes, I liked it.

Having watched the Castle Season 5 premiere over the weekend, I can assure fans of this ABC series - especially those who have been championing Caskett over the years - that they will be anything but disappointed.

Without giving too much away, I've included a few teases regarding "After the Storm" below. Read with caution and consider yourself just a tad bit spoiler warned...

• We see Beckett's bedroom.
• Yes, Castle and Beckett enjoy some intimate time, but it's interrupted in rather humorous fashion.
• Ryan and Esposito? Not exactly on good terms.
• Jack Coleman makes for a terrific U.S. Senator.
• Someone dies in the explosion teased in this Castle promo, while an important file is also lost.
• Sorry, but there's no Lanie.
• The final scene is absolutely awesome.

Castle Season 5 kicks off on September 24. Tune in.
