full size Jonathan Frakes Attends the Wrap Party For Leverage on Nov. 19, 2008

Much to the disappointment of diehard Castle fans everywhere, the cast of ABC's hit crime procedural was absent from this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Although we've since forgiven ABC for focusing on the promotion of new shows, there's still a gaping hole left in our hearts from the lack of Castle-related shenanigans in Room 6BCF.

But thanks to a recent spoiler from TVLine, our void is slowly dissipating. The website confirms that not only will there be a Comic-Con-themed episode in Season 5, but it will also be directed by Star Trek veteran Jonathan Frakes.

Scheduled to air this fall, the episode dives headfirst into a "world of egotistic celebrities, diehard fans, and enough drama for two galaxies."

In other words, right up our alleys.

Although it won't completely make up for Castle's geekfest no-show, we'll take what we can get. But is it too much to ask to see Kate Beckett in costume?
