Castle Season Premiere: What to Expect...
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.

where is Lanie? Will there be a new captain- maybe kill her off- so we can get a more professional and supportive captain.

Castle is by far the best show on TV. Never been so excited for a new season.

Not fair - here in the UK we've no idea when we're going to see season 5. Just hoping iTunes will have it for us on-line.

I really have to stop reading spoilers. Now I really cant wait for the premiere. And the "The Final Scene is Awsome" just makes me all sad now since the episode doesnt air for another 20 Days.

Can't wait for Castle--I've started the Castle marathon leading up to the release of last season on DVD on the 11th-- I did a Firefly earlier this summer, and fell in love again with Capt. Mal, and Rick Castle is almost as wonderful, and if that's all I can get, I'll TAKE it!
