Like our Round Table panelists, many Castle fans are still processing the shocking events on May's season finale.

But, instead of looking back, ABC is giving viewers a reason to glance ahead: the show will bring on a new police captain this fall, a woman the network describes as "ambitious, good-looking, career-minded" and "more adept at politics than police work."

Will she allow Castle the sort of access to cases to which he's grown accustomed? We'll leave that question for another time.

For now, we just wanna know: Who would you cast in this key role? Angelia Bassett? Diane Lane? Submit your suggestions now!
