Awesome! I'm sure we'll all have lots of questions once we see the episode on Monday – can't wait!

It's going to be weird to be formal with him again, lol. He's like one of us now.

Yes, it's a bit difficult to think of things to ask since he always comes in.. but I've got a few anyway! Pick and ask any ones you like, Admin. I just figured I'd post a few in case people couldn't come up with any.

  • When you wrote the episode (Suicide Squeeze), did you already know that Joe Torre was going to be in it — and wrote a baseball episode around that? Or did you already have the episode written and Joe was kind of a sudden addition? Or neither?
  • Who's idea was it to have so much "4th-wall breakage" when it comes to certain episodes (ie. Blue Pill website, songs on iTunes, Vampire Website etc), yours or someone else's? Will we be seeing more of that this season? It's totally awesome.

Not Castle-related, but still fun nonetheless:

  • What was it like for you to write the Firefly stories after so many years?
  • What's something you like to do when you're not writing, working, or sleeping? smile

Can he be honest with us, and tell us which of the characters is really his favorite, and why?

If the stars aligned, and the people needed were all free to do it, what kind of episode would you write that would utilize the talents of ALL these guest stars: Jewel Staite, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher, Summer Glau and Ron Glass?

Thank you for being here with us, Jose!

1. When you tweet, I can't help but sometimes think that you remind me of Captain Mal. How much of you is Mal?

2. How much improv done by the actors ends up in any given episode? 

3. How do you write for the opposite sex, in your case, a woman?

4. You've got a crack team of writers. Did you help write the "Castle Bible/Writers Guide"? How do you decide how far to push a character's boundaries if it's needed? How do you decide on what a character would do or not do in extreme situations; such as, "Oh, Castle or Beckett would do this, but not that."?

5. Do you think you'd enjoy directing, too?

What did you want to be growing up? Did you always envision being in the entertainment industry or was it baseball or….?
Do you know who is writing the Delany episodes?

Where do you draw your inspiration?

Are you really a vampire? When do you sleep? smile

We love you Jose. Keep it shiny.

Let me tell you something about crazy people. The sex is unbelievable.

While Castle clearly has an amazing team of writers, do the actors ever just improv on some of the scenes? Does much of that make it in to the final cut of the show? Can you give us a fun example?

I probably won't be able to make the chat (too late for me) but I have a few questions:

Thanks for stopping by Jose!

You're worked on shows that had been running for a few seasons, as well as shows that were brand new to the airwaves. Which is more challenging, joining a show mid-stream or helping a new show establish itself? Which is more satisfying?

If you could take on the identity of any character you've written or developed, which would it be and why?

- Who improvises or adlibs more, Stana or Nathan? And when does, how quickly does the other come up with their own improv or adlib?

- Will we see Beckett's old flame FBI Agent Will Sorenson again?

- Will we see Kate's father again?

- I think that it's nice that Alexis feels comfortable coming to Beckett for an advice. Will we see that relationship develop more this season and carry on over to the next season?

1.) How did you get into writing for tv and what advice do you have for those trying to break into the industry?

2.) What do you enjoy writing more, scripts or short stories?

3.) How invested do you get in your characters when you write?

4.) What are some good tricks to bust through writers block?

5.) Who is the favorite character you have ever written for?

I've noticed that some of these questions were asked during Jose's last chat. Don't forget that you can look at the past transcripts to see these answers! (I just don't want you guys to be sad when he's not asked these questions for his second time).

I have a question:

What would you say was the most difficult episode script for you to write, whether it was getting facts straight or character development conflicts or some other reason that just made it rough to write?
