On the first view I count four.

6) The killer's last name was Frye...Kaylee's last name.

Meh, I was hoping for more Firefly references. The entire thing was more Galaxy Quest than any other show. Even the laser weapon (which is not feasible at this time) which can generate killing power with a hand held power source, looked like an NSEA Protector blaster than anything from Firefly.
I firmly believe that Director Jonathan Frakes had Ed Quinn do "Commander Peter Quincy Taggart" more than anything else. IMHO

I'm with SVDrifter here. I was hoping for more Firefly references. Instead, there were heaps of Star Trek references, and a Galaxy Quest kind of vibe. Good fun, but not Firefly enough for me. Star Trek got mentioned by name multiple times, while Firefly wasn't--it was just "that Joss Whedon show." Also, what was with Alexis walking around in costume dressed as a--what? In real life, Molly Quinn went to Comic Con dressed as Mal. Pity they didn't refer to that. I also got fed up with Castle repeatedly expressing his disdain for "Nebula 9."

When I saw the title to this episode I totally geeked out. I did think of Star Trek but, I kept thinking there would be plenty of Firefly references. The show, I thought had the perfect excuse to go nuts, but missed a golden opportunity IMHO. Still though it was fun.....by the way you guys all missed the very first Firefly Easter egg in the opening sequence at :30 seconds.

As far as Castle's negative comments of Nebula 9, he was playing the part of the Firefly haters out there that constantly trash our show. I just thought of another reference - Kreavers. Of course they couldn't use Reavers, so they did the next best thing.
All in all, it was a fun episode.
SGG

Good morning browncoats!
I was at work Monday night pulling an all-nighter when my better half called and said, “You have to watch Castle when you get home, you have to have to have to!”
Well I did, and I started laughing about ten seconds into the show (and I didn't quit laughing or smiling for a whole hour) certainly one of the best Castle episodes that ever aired IMO. I so enjoyed the Firefly references, and the Star Trek, and Blade Runner references, and so many more.
I really like that Kate was a “geek girl” when she was younger, and that Javier & Kevin were geek-ish in their younger days too. I think that there’s a little geek-nerd in everyone, even if they won’t admit it.
Anyoo, I do agree with everyone here, it was an episode funny and worth every second of attention….I even watched the entire episode again, immediately after it ended, so that was two full hours of joy.
Z, the Browncoat… still holding
PS: Waiting for “Browncoats Unite” on the Science Channel on Sunday night. Can hardly wait to see those smiling Firefly faces; they always seem to have so much fun when they are together (I feel like I’m there too and included). Nathan should see that more Firefly alumni have guest appearances on his show.
Z,out

Yes, but it really should have been called Castle: The Galaxy Quest parody. That would have been way more accurate a description. Calling the episode a "Firefly Parody" just got people's hopes up and then dashed them.
But then as Browncoats, we're rather USED to having our hopes raised and then crushed aren't we?

Well, I followed the policy of "Don't whine about it, do something!" and wrote a fanfic, "The Shiny Frontier" -- my version of how the beginning of that Castle episode should have gone, to pay proper homage to Firefly. :-) Just posted it in the Blue Sun Room today. Wrote it yesterday, and thus was able to incorporate some shiny things from the 10th Anniversary Special. I put the Blue Sun T-shirts in for you, MRSAX. :-)
