From 'Cuffed': It took me a couple of viewings before this little joke hit me.  I know there are others, not the obvious ones, but ones that take some noticing. Others?

From "The Dead Pool", interrogating the Byelorussian: 

 

"I was expecting 'moose and squirrel'."

From "Punked": 

CASTLE: (discussing being there for Alexis, for every one of her 'firsts'wink "Even her first word…."

BECKETT: "Let me guess — Daddy."

CASTLE: "No, it's 'denoument'. I stressed story structures from an early age."

 

(one of the great, completely absurd lines out of nowhere).

From "Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind": 

 

When Castle checks on his phone as to what is available off New Jersey Turnpike Exit 9, the second attraction is 'Lilliputin State Park".  A reference to Lilliput (the imaginary kingdom in Gulliver's Travels).  It is also interesting that there is a 'lilliput mussel' which has invaded New Jersey recently,  and has been the subject of some ecological mapping. 

 

(The first attraction is the Assanti Arts Centre, which I assume has some reference to the kingdom of Ashanti in Ghana. But that may not be the correct reference).

I'm not getting the moose and squirrel one.

*googles it.*

I think some jokes are kinda hard to get when you're from a foreign country.

"Moose and squirrel" refers to an old American cartoon Rocky and Bullwinkle.  Rocky was a squirrel and Bullwinkle was a moose, and their archenemies were a couple of agents from a fictitious country, but Natasha and Boris's accents were Russian (this was during the Cold War).

Very sly reference!

Castle was referring to the cartoon The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.  Rockey was a flying squirrel and Bullwinkle a moose.  Their arch enemy's were two Russian spys named Boris and Natasha, whose evil plots they were constantly "thwarting".  If I'm remembering correctly, Boris and Natasha would refer to Rocky and Bullwinkle as "moose and squirrel".  So, I would say in this case that Beckett and Castle were Mr. Chop Shop's (can't remember his name) moose and squirrel.

Oops.  You beat me to it! Smile  I had forgotten that Boris and Natasha weren't Russian.

I had forgotten that, too until I looked it up.  The "fake country" was very thin–classic cold war stuff.

Found Castle, Jr. (AKA Det. Ryan) saying "Whoever he was, he went out with a bang." in Poof! You're dead

From "Punked": 

 

CASTLE: “….Ergo, the killer could have entered present time through a time ripple, killed Goldstein, and then gone back through the time ripple, which means we just have to find the time ripple.” 

BECKETT: “Could you please stop saying ‘time ripple’”!

CASTLE:  “Yeah, it does sound kind of dirty, doesn’t it.”

 

I love this little scene, especially because the last line is completely ridiculous.

In "Cuffed" Nathan suggests that they cut off a hand to get out of the handcuffs — hers because "it's smaller" — and he makes obvious reference to the recent "127 hours" film, but the original reference is to the first man-and-woman-handcuffed-together scene ever, in "The 39 Steps" — Madeleine Carroll is able to slip out of the handcuffs (it takes her awhile) because of her small wrist.

A bit OT, but have you seen the BBC remake of The 39 Steps with Rupert Penry-Jones and Lydia Leonard?  The way they played the 2 main characters of Richard Hannay and Victoria reminded me of Castle and Beckett the first time I watched it.  The fine art of bicker, banter and eye sex.

Hi, I did see it, and really enjoyed it.  Some people I know didn't like it, but I thought the two leads were brilliant together.  It was obvious that the ending was designed for there to be a sequel, but I guess that never happened.

A slight little sly reference in "Double Down" (multiple lovely puns in the title itself), one of my favourite episodes.  Following the reinstatement of the second bet that the loser will have to wear a dress for a week, Beckett says: 

"You bet your britches the bet is back on."
