In the first 12 minutes a great firefly reference and a Buffy reference.

"Didn't you wear that, like, five years ago?"

Priceless! I wish we had gotten more of Castle as our lovable Cap'n Tightpants!

I do love how they started out the episode...

That was the most AWESOME scene I've seen in years!!! He looked so handsome in it!! I just screamed and jumped up and down!! Probably the one thing that has truly made me happy in months. I'm so thankful...

There must be something else. Nathan posted this on Twitter today:

"If you are thinking the Easter egg of lore is the browncoat you are mistaken. I said you have to be clever, astute, acutely aware, and cute."

I know I heard Tom Bergeron say something about Firefly before the show started, but I missed what he said!

OMGGGGGGG it was just TOO perfect seeing our BDH in that wonderful Brown Coat. And the dialog????
I almost fell off the chair laughing....

"Didn't you wear that like 5 years ago?"
"Yeah"
"Isn't it time to get over it?"

At which we laugh but shout "HELL NO!!!"

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Best episode EVER of one of my favorite of the new(ish) shows!

Had to rewind and watch it again, the wife and I were laughing so hard. Giddiness abounds.

Wait... Easter Egg... Did it have something to do with the actual egg?

It would be clever, but "Feggin" doesn't ring any immediate bells with me.

I can't be the only one who caught the reference of Castle being called ' a monster ', can I ?

As soon as I heard it, I thought of Kaylee's comment from Our Mrs Reynolds.

I thought it was the twangy dobro music when he comes out in his Browncoat costume. Very, VERY Firefly, that music. If you recorded it, go back and watch again, see if it doesn't ring a bell.

Oh, absolutely, spot on. I caught that to.

And, as for the story, I knew the tombstone they glanced at in the beginning of the show had to have some significance. I'm waiting to hear if that happened to be a prop from the Sunnydale cemetery, though it being a different network, I'm kinda guessing not.

I thought the same too, at first, but then there's always the BDM. That was only 4 years ago.

Wonderful episode. I'll have to watch it again and again.

I also saw lots of Moreana on the commercials for "V". I'm glad they are highlighting her.

Now all we need is Alan, Jewel, Sean and Ron to do guest appearances on Castle or V to complete the goodness.

I don't know if this could be the hidden Firefly Easter egg on the Castle set, but in the scene when Castle enters the room as Mal with his gun drawn, is that a Darth Vader action figure on the shelf to the right of him? Wasn't that kept in the cabinet of Serenity during the series?

I believe I may have teared up when I saw Mal jump onto the tv screen again. Even though he didn't shout "Bwah!"

My mum and I squee'ed so hard during those five minutes.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I just knew they were going to pull a "Who are you supposed to be" joke

(well, that or my dad's suggested "You don't look anything like that guy" joke, bwahahaha!)
Ah, good times. And yes, I caught 'shindig' in there as well. Mention of Buffy and lycan/vamp lore was total icing on the cake.

Dunno about Darth, but Kaylee had a miniature Han Solo in carbonite figurine on the shelf, next to her bunk.

I agree with Kwicko

Although I’ve liked all of the CASTLE episodes this particular one was the best and my favorite! The references I noticed and had to laugh at were;

Castle as Captain Reynolds

Buffy

And Hands of Blue ( gloves on Beck)

We also got to see a lot of “V” commercials and Morrena looks great. Can hardly wait till next Tuesday.

Thanks goes out to ABC for giving the cast and production team of Castle the freedom to put on a show like this.

Z

I will watch it again to see if I can catch the other references made.

its hard to see on the little screen capture, but take a look on ABC's site for a bigger, clearer picture. To the immediate right of the pocket on his coat, I'm pretty sure that's the engine part from "out of gas". Don't know if its the broken or replacement part, but I saw it right away. I think Nathan is about the coolest guy ever.

Have just sat through this on the 'Net (The entire 'Castle' to date, back to back over the last couple of days, actually.)

Just...love. Spent the whole first few minutes squealing like an itty bitty fan-girl. And then rewinding it to squeal again.

Bam! said the lady!

Just the look on his face. "I like it."

So do we, Captain.

RIPWASH

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 himself

The 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.

I parsed it as a pun on "Fagin" from Oliver Twist. Still doesn't really mean anything.

Could the (really great, incidentally) Edgar Allen Poe costume be a clue?

(I also squeed out loud at the Firefly music cue.)
