My goodness, Slaughter is psychotic!

I've only caught one Firefly reference (other than the brown coat) so far, and now I can't even remember what that one was.

What did I miss? It was mentioned in interviews there were several references in the show, but I just didn't catch them, if they were there...

I think there were several that were right on the verge of being Firefly references. I’m thinking that since “Castle” has such a large and devoted browncoat following at times dialogue in the show might seem to be related to Firefly when maybe it was not intended.

That being said I’ll list three that I thought were pretty obvious.

1) Castle playing with a dinosaur at the very beginning ( had me laughing out loud right out of the gate)
2) Richard Castle & Detective Slaughter share a browncoat ( another reference that couldn’t be denied)
3) Detective Slaughter = Jayne Cobb (Jayne Slauobb)

Also Slaughter seems to speak many lines that are near, or pretty darn close to Firefly quotes that had my ears perking. Castle does the same.

Nathan & Adam are the browniest browncoats there ever were.

At the end, when the episode is over, Nathan and Martin Downey Jr. tout Joss Whedon’s “The Avengers” super cool!

I thought the tissue in the nose was a possible Trash shout-out.

Yeah, there were a few times where lines seemed close to something that was said on Firefly, but not those words. I wish there had been a few obvious ones though.

I forgot about the playing at the beginning! That had to be a nod. I laughed, but just because it was funny.

I did get a real kick out of the Avengers plug.

MUTT999, that's also a possibility! Maybe I was looking so hard, that's how I missed some of that stuff.

Some possible additional nods: (1) Castle is tricked into thinking someone died, only to have it revealed that he's the butt of a joke ("That's not funny!"), even calling into question the sanity of the joke's perpetrator. Got dished back what Mal served to Simon.

(2) At 24:03 and beyond. Slaughter offers something to Castle to drink, "That'll get you flyin' right." Castle replies with a wistful look, "Nope, it's not gonna do anything to turn back time." (sniff... still flyin' cap'n?)

(3) 13:20, witness says, "He screwed up another job last week. Abandoned a truck full of stolen medical equipment on the F.D.R. after he ran out of gas." XD

I thought when Castle's mother came in when he was playing with the dinosaur and said "What are you playing at??" it reminded me of "KAYLEE! What in the sphinter of hell are you playing at???!" but yanno, cleaner...

Also, was this episode purchased at "Stereotypes R Us" or WHAT??

Last week with the Aussie/Scot...now IRA, Mexican Cartel, Jamaican Rasta'a... They needed to work in a sleeper cell just to be completely well-rounded I think they were slightly trying to say some cops are crazier than the rest of the thugs out there, but...geez.

Americans are SO FREAKING STUUUUPID! I mean, it's fun...but It just felt like an hour long *FACEPALM.

Ah #2 totally went over my head when it happened. That had to be one!

and I didn't really hear #3, so that's how I missed that one.

I recorded the show last night so I should probably watch it again!

Well, one thing I will give Castle credit for, is that it tends to give races, religions, cultures, and subcultures a fair shake. They never make it about "oh, this kid dresses up like a were-wolf sometimes and this guy goes to see a dominatrix. DEVIANCY! They're the killer because they have messed up appetites!"

The same can't be said for SOME crime drams... ¬_¬
