They broke the 5th wall? Oh that is awesome.

Writers do this quite often--I think it IS a gesture of recognizing brilliancy. Plus they're just like that.

At a showing of Spiderman 3 I heard someone telling the teens in front of us to shut up by "explaining" the special hell.

Guess it's still relevant. Ha ha. More!

Yes, it's called an "extra", a verbal or visual nod to another show generally by the same actor on a different show. For ex: if Adam were to say to Chuck - "Gee, I wish I had some grenades" or Summer were to tell another terminator "Also, I could kill you with math." You get the idea.

I wish him well, but new shows live on borrowed time.

Yeah, I caught it. Brought a wry grin to my face.
Well that makes two references.
Provided you count the type of "huh" he gave in the pilot ep of Castle when he dropped the handcuff keys, which was similar to the "huh" he gave in the FF pilot ep when he opened River's box.

But I could just be reading into that one.

Shiny!! The Brown coat returned tonight, Nathan Fillion/Castle/Captain Tightpants acquired two tickets to an exclusive party with the ulterior motive of conducting secret business, a sword fight takes place in the episode, he got to dance with the loveliest lady at the party, oh... and did I mention that they called it a shindig?

Oh man, I loved that episode waaaay too much! I'm still giddy! :D No wonder he wants the show to go on!

Cellardoor…………….!!!!!

Yeah….I caught that too. Seems that whole little scene was a little tribute to FF. I would like to thank all the creative forces of Castle for giving the browncoats and Joss a little shout-out like that….and thank Nathan too for his input if he helped with that bit of dialog. Also did anyone notice that the thief at the party was named Paul “Reynolds”. How neat was that”

Ain't it great to be a Browncoat? Nothing like sharing the fun with fellow fans!

And, during the dance, Beckett said "I didn't figure she was a criminal mastermind."

This episode was absolutely hi-larious! Loved it when the guy bid 4k on Castle's book.

Did you know they call you the big whale?

Big whale? Not moby ...

There was also a non FF nod paid to Stephen King in the episode, not surprising considering Castle is something of an homage to the horror master. Anyway the murder victim, Susan Delgado, is a character in the novel "Wizard and Glass" from the Dark Tower series.

It was also great to see Patrick Bauchau as a not so bad bad guy. I don't think he's aged a day since his time on The Pretender. That man brings such class to every role he plays. Hopefully they can find a way to bring the character back.
