Okay, so did no one catch Nathan's little Firefly shout-out on this week's Castle?

[Castle's staring off into space at the crime scene]
Det. Beckett: Hello?
Castle: Hm.
Det. Beckett: You okay?
Castle: I had sex with my ex-wife this morning. My first ex-wife, Meredith, Alexis' mom. And she's thinking about moving back to New York. Do you know what that would mean... to me?
That would be a Very, Special, Brand, of Hell. The Hell of the deep-fried Twinkie™.
Dets. Ryan & Esposito: Deep-fried Twinkie™?
Castle: Yeah, the guilty pleasure that you know is bad for you, so you only do it once, maybe twice a year, for the novelty...
[Dets. Ryan & Esposito nod knowingly]

I did catch that!! I grinned, but then was laughing harder at the 'deep fried twinkie' and then the knowing nod from the 3 men. God, I'm loving this show.

Ah, yes! I heard that line, but I was immediately distracted by the concept of the deep-fried Twinkie.

I really love this show:)

THANK YOU so much for posting this! I was amazed that it wasn't posted earlier, and I would have posted it but I couldn't remember the exact conversation. I remember saying, "Wait, did he just say 'Special Hell'???"

"We need to keep our heads so we can ... keep our heads."

I got the reference... and the twinkie line was great, and dead true!

The show is excellent, but I'm getting very nervous it won't get a second season.

Ahhhhh! Thanks for posting, my channel was still showing weather radar and rotational zones that might turn into tornados at that point of the show. For some reason, I just felt like I'd miss something really important. Dang it, I'm so sad I missed that! Hehe, guess I'll just have to watch it again On Demand! :)

Also, *grumble grumble* I'm frustrated that he's in his metro, tailored blue/black shirt/blazer so often and not dressed down in his brownish colored coat from the pilot. Though, I *think* I saw the return of the brown coat in the preview for next week, but it could have just been my wishful thinking playing tricks on my brain. I'll be sad if this gets cancelled.

Thanks for the insight to this CLJ. The wife and I have been watching CASTLE religiously and I’ve been hanging on every word for FF references from Nathan ( guess I wasn’t hanging good enough) anyway, I didn’t catch the nod to Firefly from Shepherd Book to Capt Reynolds in the ABC tv series. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I also look for FF references from Adam Baldwin or any of the cast from the CHUCK tv series on NBC. It is my firm belief that many of the writers of television shows have a certain respect for one another and enjoy excellent writing just as anyone else. Who’s to say they don’t sneak in a little fun line here and there with respect to companion writers?

Thanks again for the info. I’ll be looking for what you’ve posted the next time I watch that particular episode of CASTLE, yes I will watch it again.

Z, out
