| Trivia | The actress who plays Ryan's wife in the show, Juliana Dever, is Seamus Dever's (Ryan's) real life wife. See more » |
| 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. See more » |

| Quotes |
[repeated season 3 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: I'm Detective Kate Beckett. Kate Beckett: Beckett. Ilya: Aah! Richard Castle: Beckett? Kate Beckett: [restraining suspect] Could you get some backup, please? Richard Castle: [v.o] And thanks to my friendship with the Mayor, I get to be on her case. Kate Beckett: [caught searching Castle's book in a bathroom stall by Castle] Oh! Richard Castle: Do I look like a killer to you? Kate Beckett: Yes; you kill my patience. Richard Castle: [v.o] And together we catch killers. Kate Beckett: I *hate* this case. Richard Castle: I know! Isn't it great? See more » |
