I don't know what I liked better, having a small firefly reunion on Castle, or the two Joss Whedon alums Downey and Fillion compairing roles during the avengers promo.

>Slaughter is wearing a sorta military-ish olive drab coat<
I think that might have been Adam's jacket from 'My Bodyguard' :-)

I loved Adam's rambunctious acting in this. Ethan Slaughter is a memorable, colourful character!
Devout Keeper of Jayne's Lunchbox

While the grittiness of Slaughter seemed a little overboard for me, Adam seemed to be having so much fun playing the part.

Classic cheese. Loved it. I'm glad someone else thought the stuffed nose was reminiscent of a scene we all love from FF.

Well, I enjoyed that Castle episode more than I have enjoyed any for a while, and it was mostly to do with Adam and Nathan working together and dominating the screen. The folks above have already pointed out a lot of the references. Here are the ones I caught. Some of them...maybe it's just me seeing Firefly references in ordinary dialog, but still... :-)
Dinosaur play (Castle doing voices in Wash's style)
"Unless that’s a problem" ...like Book and Kaylee in Serenity Pilot
Slaughter is wearing a sorta military-ish olive drab coat -- in the style of Jayne in several episodes
Castle wearing a brown coat. (!!!)
Castle holds out hand for shaking and Slaughter ignores it (Mal with the Councilor’s body guard, War Stories)
"Any friend of the mayor is a friend of mine" (like Mal and Inara in Heart of Gold, although I wouldn't have minded a "business-like relationship")
Brian (the Westie) barges through Castle like Jayne does with Simon in …I forgot which episode. Maybe it's more than once.
Slaughter drinks from flask, passes it on (like Jayne does with Simon in BDM)
“Let’s do this” outside the Irish bar (like Mal and Zoe in Train Job)
Bar fight (was I just seeing things? but it reminded me of the bar fight in the beginning of Shindig...they used a stool in both scenes)
Handkerchief/bloody nose (like in Trash)
Truck of medical supplies…out of gas (Ariel and Out of Gas)
"Go caveman on that partner" (Jayne didn't say this, but Slaughter's line is so characteristically Jayne-like that it had me laughing)
"Pack a little punch there for a writer" (of *course* he packs a punch...he's *Mal*!)
Pretending that he killed the guy in the Jamaican shop (Mal's joke that Kaylee's dead, in Serenity Pilot)
"That guy’s insane. He’s insane." said by Castle (turnabout's fair play, Mal) (Wash's line from War Stories; also Wash's "You are psychotic" from Serenity Pilot)
"Nothin’. Well obviously not nothin’. We’re talkin’…. (reminded me of Mal and Zoe dialog)
"You shoulda seen the look on your face (laughing)" (Mal in Serenity Pilot, dished back to Castle by Slaughter)
Guy in the garbage truck...Jayne in the airlock (Ariel)
"Make sure I could trust you. That you had my back" said by Slaughter. (Shades of Ariel, Mal unable to trust Jayne)
"But nothin’" (Castle) (Used in the same way Mal says it to Inara in Trash)
"Let’s do this!" (Castle) (Mal to Zoe and Jayne in Train job)
"I like to keep my options open" (Slaughter) (Jayne in BDM re: grenades)
"Whoa whoa whoa" (Castle) (exactly like Mal backed up to a cliff in Train Job)
I had about 5 others that I wasn't sure of, so I left them off the list.
Lots of good stuff there and some did have me thinking twice when they happened (but forgot about them later) I still haven't gotten around to re-watching the episode, but I might get a chance today.

Just started re-watching the episode and the way Slaughter says "That is a very fine coat" is quite reminiscent of Mal saying "very fine hat". I may be pushing it here, though...

Best Castle yet. Like watching one of the campier FF epps.
What was the new original quote about "manhood"?
I deleted my DVR like a dope. That's one of those keepers you have to watch again and again to catch all the jokes.

Awesome.
Here's a question for the entomologists out there:
At the beginning, when Castle and his mother are arguing about hiding Alexis' college acceptance letters, there's a print of a winged insect in a frame that comes into view a couple of times. Is that a random bug, or..?
(...Or have I just watched Castle a lot and not noticed that?)

I can't remember, did they play Castle's little cop theme or not?
Seems like this would be the appropriate episode to break that out again.
I'm going to have to watch it a 3rd time, aren't I?
