    • Trivia
      According to Andrew W. Marlowe, Nathan Fillion read with 125 actresses to find the perfect Beckett.
    • Goofs
      In many episodes detectives track somebody by using the entrance/exit information from their MetroCards. In NYC the card is only swept once at the entrance but not on the exit (except on Staten Island where card is swept at the exit only), so the person can travel almost the entire subway system with only the entrance recorded. Exit swipes are in use in Washington, DC and San Francisco's BART where zonal fares are in use.
    • Quotes

      [repeated season 2 episode open]

      Richard Castle: [v.o] There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people: psychopaths and mystery writers. I'm the kind that pays better. Who am I?

      Richard Castle: I'm Rick Castle.

      Richard Castle: Castle.

      Richard Castle: Castle.

      Richard Castle: I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?

      Richard Castle: [v.o] Every writer needs inspiration, and I found mine.

      Kate Beckett: Detective Kate Beckett.

      Kate Beckett: Beckett.

      Kate Beckett: Beckett.

      Kate Beckett: Nikki Heat?

      Martha Rodgers: The character he's basing on you.

      Richard Castle: [v.o] And thanks to my friendship with the Mayor, I get to be on her case.

      Richard Castle: I'd be happy to let you spank me.

      Richard Castle: [v.o] And together we catch killers.

      Richard Castle: We make a pretty good team, you know. Like Starsky and Hutch, Turner and Hooch.

      Kate Beckett: You do remind me a little of Hooch.

    Let's be fair...
    Yes, this is a great vehicle for Nathan Fillion because he's gets to play the lovable scoundrel, which truly is his bread and butter. I was worried when I saw the pilot that they were going to shoot their premise in the foot but was impressed at the end when they gave you a new basis that could last longer than a few episodes. Now if we're fair and judge this show on it's writing and acting rather than on our excitement that Nathan Fillion is back then we must conclude... that the show is still pretty good. I have been impressed with the story lines up to this point and while the short description of the "who-dun-it" may sound like scenarios we've heard before, these writers aren't satisfied with a "Law and Order" ending. They've already thrown out the triple and quadruple switchbacks with the uncovering of the culprits. And all the while allowing Nathan Fillion to fill the screen with his smarmy charm and allowing him to cavort with an attractive, albeit, hard-boiled female cop.

    The great part about this show is that they haven't really set up Fillion as a Sherlock Holmes. He is playing a seemingly educated street-wise poetic guy, but he isn't the one with all the answers. For every conclusion he draws, the female lead makes just as many and may refine Fillion's, which is wise on the writers' part because his character works because of the inherent flaws that come with being a writer rather than a detective.

    It's a clever show that's a must-see if you're a Fillion-atic and a pretty good hour even if you're not.
