Castle has got a really tough season ahead. It's competing against The Blacklist, which is a very high profile new show and Jerry Bruckheimer's new drama Hostages.

Looking forward to this as well. Monday is really packed.

Really good episode... can't wait too see how it continues

Why did you start another thread for this episode, instead of contributing to mine? Just curious...

Anyway, I liked "Valkyrie" too; definitely worth the wait. There were a lot of twists and turns; the writers better have done a great job for the next one.

Does the daughter's dumbass new boyfriend remind anyone else of this guy?

That was a good episode with a surprise ending.

I'm putting the over/under for when Beckett returns to the NYPD at 7 episodes. The show is all about how the two of them solve cases together. With her working for the feds on classified cases they can't work together.

But this was a good episode. It will be interesting to see who was really behind the break-in.

My guess is they'll be back in NY as soon as this case is resolved. She'll realize that he's more important than her career and go back to NYPD.

Good episode, nice twist ending. Can't wait to see how the writers resolve this and how long it takes for Beckett to get back to NY - my guess is four episodes.

Watching it now and it seems like they are setting up a spinoff for the NYPD crew.

Cool episode. I don't see beckett in DC long. Messes up the nice dynamic they have with the crew in NYC. Was weird seeing Lisa Edelstein in this.

Definitely a good start to the new season.

The twist ending was cool with Castle being poisoned by the aerosol toxin. Of course he isn't going to die, but the show always makes reaching the end point of the case fun.

I think Kate will be make in NYC in 3-4 episodes. Interesting see Lisa Edelstein here. She actually had good chemistry with Stana. They worked well as partners.

I work late tomorrow. That's why I was able to watch so much tonight.

Good start to season. I agree they will all be back in NYC stat.

Would be a funny gag if Alexis had a different guy over each episode.

Pretty good episode. Agree that they'll return to NYC soon to retain the cast chemistry.

I was thinking he reminded me of Sid from The Descendants.
