WARNING: BIG SPOILERS!!!!
Castle's season opener fits right alongside other openers. It's strong and looks like it's a two parter. Starting off the season with "To be continued..." should be illegal but TPTB at Castle has always managed to pull this one out of the bag. Is it the best opener of the series? I wouldn't say that, but it's good and does give a little breather to think that maybe they will pull it off.
First order of business is the teaser. Since last season didn't end on a huge cliff hanger like seasons past have the first scene opens up like any Castle episode would, murder. The rest of the episode is not exactly how a normal Castle episode plays out.
Here's what you can look forward to in next Monday's episode:
Caskett kisses
Always
Frosting
Ryan and Espo fighting over Beckett's desk
Alexis is all grown up and has taken a lesson or two from her step mom clearly
Bracken
Spiders
Lying, deceit, secrets
Action... Girls kicking ass kind of action.
Torture
A lot of questions left unanswered.
"You're great at fetching, I've trained you well" - Beckett to Castle regarding coffee
"Yes, got ourselves a homicide, fingers crossed for overtime pay." - Ryan
Hayley is saucy and not a fan of the cops
"You know most people react differently to a gun in their sides." - Chick that abducts Castle
"This happens to me a lot" - Castle
This episode reminds me a lot of the questions that were going through everyone's minds last season when Castle was missing. Now that Beckett is missing, or gone rogue, the same questions are coming up. Castle and the boys are not about to stop before they find their girl though.
One other thing to take away... Any chance that Lisa Edelstein might have returned to guest again as Rachel McCord went out the window faster than you can say apples.
