Firefly's Fillion Moves into Castle

[8Diagrams(WU)]

Cool show. Hope one day I can see him do Mal Reynolds again.

I usually always assume it's new without seeing the adverts - so if it isn't then it's my bad.

I think they play a preview no matter what and yeah its a repeat.

 

[Gilpesh]

Nice job messing up, Beckett.

Yeah, well. These things happen . . . on television. It's gonna be another two season before they both finally get wise at the same time.

 

[Matt]

Yep.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

So I'm guessing this was the season finale?

Since at the end of May another show will be playing at the 10pm spot and there was no preview for next week.

Wish they would advertise it being a season finale, but i guess anything thats not LOST isn't worth the time to say so.

 

[KenK]

It's still one of ABC's stronger dramas. It's fanbase is only increasing, far as I can tell.

No wonder they've been bugging him to finish the book. They've promised a September release :

Oh snap! That's pretty cool!

 

[Dr. Evil]

I had forgotten that Castle's ex-wife was his publisher.

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

dang im sad i have to wait for more episodes. poor Beckett dumped her boyfriend and now shes gonna be alone all summer. =(

oh and when i saw Iron Man at the midnight showing they had a pre-preview thing on Castle... it was cool. but what i noticed most was that Kate had really long hair!

 

[BlackLantern]

she broke Michael Truccos heart...harlot, harlot I say!!!

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Gonna be interesting to see how things are played out in Season 3. Will it be a Booth/Bones type of thing from Bones or what?

I didn't realize we had a Castle thread! t: this show is a gem, one of my current favs. The Castle/Beckett dynamic is just so watchable, great chemistry, and the mysteries are a cut above most on TV, a perfect blend of whodunit and humour.

The finale was great, so close and yet so far for Caskett! Kate has replaced Olivia Benson has my TV cop crush. :heart:

don't do that....I don't care if you are a mod, I will stab you

I loved the finale. I liked how everyone was looking at Beckett toward the end just as she was about to tell Castle how she really felt about him after how they've worked together. But I also liked the way it ended with Castle's ex-wife coming in. Sucks we have to wait for the follow up on this...But I'm sure it'll be worth it.

I saw you posted in this thread and did it purely b/c I knew it would irritate you. I usually avoid the Skate's and Jate's type stuff but I am a devoted Team Caskett guy.

I love how the show doesn't treat its audience like blithering idiots like a lot of other shows. The writers gambled that us watchers would be smart enough to keep up with their wit, and they gambled correctly. It shows in the fact that Castle has been regularly trumping CSI: Miami for almost a couple of months now and I read that at least one episode even got 14.5 million viewers.

Here's a review from last season that remains appropriate today:

Jane After Dark talks about why she loves Castle

1. Nathan Fillion is boyishly charming. I’ve been a big fan of this Joss Whedon favorite since seeing him in 2005’s feature film Serenity. I finally completed that awesome circle by watching Firefly last winter. Fillion has the ability to be goofy one minute and deadly serious the next. In Castle, he plays Richard Castle, a best-selling mystery author who’s raising a 15-year-old daughter Alexis (Molly C. Quinn) — and, in many ways, his free-spirited live-in mother Martha (Susan Sullivan), as well. Having killed off his latest fictional character, Richard found inspiration in NYPD detective Kate Beckett, after being called in to advise on a case. Now they’re working as pseudo-partners.

2. Stana Katic is beautifully brainy. I still see Carla Gugino when I look at Katic, but she’s slowly coming into her own identity for me. I love that she’s smart and gorgeous, but also that she’s the strong one of the Castle/Beckett partnership. She can make a perp cry like nobody’s business. You get the feeling that she doesn’t have to try too hard to resist his charms, but there’s definitely a spark there. She seems both flattered and repelled by the fact that she’s the inspiration for his new fictional character, and yet, she’s starting to appreciate his attention to detail on cases. They make a good team.

3. Molly C. Quinn is adorably responsible. I love the relationship between Richard and Alexis, and the fact that she’s much more sensible than he is. Sure, he’ll evil-eye the boy who takes her to the prom, but that’s only after she takes away the fake severed head he plans to freak the boy out with. And laser tag? What a fun dad.

4. The writing is captivatingly snappy. The writers have created such great characters on this show, and I love the dialogue between Castle and Beckett. Castle harks back to not only great whodunit shows like The Rockford Files and Columbo, but also classic film duos like Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn in any of their films, William Powell and Myrna Loy in The Thin Man series, and Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert in It Happened One Night. It’s a joy to watch Fillion and Katic perfect their craft.

5. I can watch it with my kids. I’ve never really gotten into the darker, modern-day crime procedurals because a lot of them are too dark and edgy for me to watch with my kids (a teen and a tween). Castle has all the elements of a great procedural, but it’s also fun and fresh. You get a body and a crime scene at the beginning, but then it’s really all about the characters and how they interact to solve the crime.
