Castle is Back

Castle came back Monday night with a story involving a dead guy stuck in a tree.  Turns out he became a drug mule when he lost his job in the big Wall Street meltdown.  Yup.  That's what happened.  Meanwhile, Castle played poker with Russian mobsters, daughter Castle was as earnest and angelic as ever, Javier and Kevin were adorable and Beckett has a new hair style.  There were cameos by actual mystery writers, there was fun at the expense of other crime shows and Castle swinging wildly between super cool and puppy dog goofy.  And in the end, as we suspected she would, Beckett forgave him for his intrusion into her pain.  Welcome back, Castle.
