Just... so... happy...
That entire episode was fantastic. From the first moment to Beckett's costume at the end...

Verrrry nice; and thanx for the catalyzer catch...you've got good eyes!!! I didn't catch the very first part, him getting dressed, so it was great to see it on Hulu, thanx for that, too!
I think the reference to "didn't you wear it 5 years ago?"--was to the BDM, not Firefly; wasn't that in 2004 or '05? Last time he wore it "officially", yes? Would make sense, if it was.
And "Feggin" was definitely a reference to "Fagan"--she said "I'm going Dickensian".
Bless Nathan...he HAD to know how many thousands of Browncoats would be waiting with baited breath--or imagine those who didn't KNOW, and the fantastic shock it must have given them!
Thank you ABC. (Maybe letters of thanx? I'm gonna.) We sure enjoyed it...sigh...

I gotta say . . . it was a nice intro. Nathan, as they say, has to be one of the biggest fans of his own show EVER! Which is extremely cool. And the fact that ABC allowed him and the producers to make such a lengthy reference is a testament to the good faith some folk can have.
The dialog between Castle and his daughter was awesome. And so spot on, regretably. We'd like to think that there's hope (AND THERE IS!!!! Heehee), but that hope is oh so slim. Time to move on? Great little tongue-in-cheek jab at the loyal, die hard fans of Firefly. And quite possibly to Nathan himselfThe writers HAD to know we'd all laugh, rolling on the floor, at that while simultaneously wiping a tear from the corner of our eye.
Kudos to Nathan. My respect for him just grew by leaps and bounds.

"It's okay! I'm a leaf on the wind!!!"
"What does that mean?!?!?!"
That sums up my wife's and my reaction perfectly. We were ROLLING, we were laughing so hard, just from giddiness, but at the same time it's bittersweet, too. But the dialog was just priceless. Huge props to Nathan for still loving his fans, and to ABC and the writers of the show for giving us such a great present. I loved the show already, and I *didn't* at first - the chemistry between Nathan and Stana Katic (Beckett) has really gotten good; before, I felt like he was carrying the show. Now, it feels like the cast and crew are REALLY starting to gel.
Put it this way: there are VERY few shows that I watch in real-time. Castle is one of them. I was all tuned in and ready - AND recording it - well before the show came on. It was ONE of my favorite shows before last night. It just moved way up the list, too. Yes, I'm that easy to please.

Let the wild rumpus start!

Good catch Mutt, wasn't that the name of Niska's viking type bodygaurd that Mal puts through the engine?
-Just another of the many, marvelously shiny winks for us. I'm fair certain I haven't "squeed" prior to this occasion, being a large semi-muscular man and all but I have no regerets on breaking that streak as I haven't laughed that hard or grinned this long for quite a while.

Hellz yeah for ABC bein this cool, maybe we should start sending them blue gloves but with little thank you notes attached!
-Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge!
-He ain't dead!
-...Oh.

I took "Crow" to be a reference to "The Crow" (comic book). There were lots and lots of references to lots and lots of things. In the first 10 minutes alone. It was generally allover great stuff.
I wonder if they've got a pool going to see how many references the fans will get. (If our Capn's smart he put his money on "all of them, in record time, and a couple that were accidental".)
How much do you want to bet someone's going to recognize Beckett's outfit as an obscure in-joke?
Poe: The Telltale Heart. Our first Murder Mystery Thriller. Did anyone else notice it was close to his posthumous belated funeral? (Normally that would be redundant and possibly ironic, in this case not so much.)
I have to go watch it again.

Just watched it again on hulu……hilarious!!
Don’t know if this was posted yet but Castle makes a reference to his daughter if she were going to name the egg Zach Eggfron. A little nod to Zach Efron who played young Simon in the “Safe” episode.
And the fun just keeps coming.
