Nathan Fillion Plays a … [Spoiler]
Posted on September 28, 2009 | 27 Comments
Here’s an exciting sneak peek at an upcoming episode of Castle. The special Halloween episode finished filming recently and this image appeared online. It looks like our loveable Richard Castle is dressing as a Browncoat, looking oddly similar to a character from Nathan Fillion’s past!
If ever there was a reason for Firefly fans to start watching Castle, this is it. Tell your friends. Castle airs Monday nights at 10/9 central on ABC.

Very cool, but please don’t plaster spoilers on the front page with no warning.

I LOVE SPOILERS I AM THE KINDA PERSON THAT READS THE LAST FEW PAGES OF THE HARRY POTTER SERIES TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN. KEEP THEM COMING. IS IT BROWNCOAT OR BROWNCOATS? WHAT EVER… WHAT IS BECKET WEARING?

Um, yeah chill. I didn’t ask for the spoilers to be removed. I know other people like them. Some of us just like to wait until the episodes air. I just hope spoilers will be behind a warning. Thanks to the admin for changing it.

Hi, do you know if this episode will be available online after it’s aired tonight? I won’t have access to a television till Thursday, unfortunately! Thanks.

Very much looking forward to this. Nathan’s a fantastic actor with a great sense of humor. I’m also wondering what Stana’s character Beckett will be wearing…

Sweet… I love the fact that Rick is such a sci-fi geek. Leaving the bridge to Alexis, the constant Star Wars references for the episode that aired on Jedi day and now this. While I don’t expect Beckett to be the Halloween dress up kind of girl unless its for a case, I kinda hope she goes as an Stargate character or Claudia Black’s Farscape character.
You guys gonna be in the chat room tonight?

Oh, that’s AWESOME. I can’t wait for this one!

How cool!! Now I can’t wait. Lovin’ me some Firefly just last night. That episode is gonna rock. I can’t wait to hear how many refrences he uses during that episode. I have a feeling there will be at least one.

I am so thrilled about this news. Just so you know, Nathan Fillion was interviewed on WZPL (99.5 FM) Indianapolis this morning at 9 a.m. Found out about it on Twitter and was able to listen to it online. They might have the interview on their site. Anyway, the gal on the station is a huge fan of his, and she asked him about him dressing up as Mal Reynolds. Nathan was like, “Where did you hear that?” She mentioned she had seen it on Twitter, and while he didn’t exactly admit to it, he said the episode would be filled with lots of references, and fans wouldn’t be disappointed.

Just found it…here’s the link to the podcast of his interview this a.m.:

Oh I love it, Rick & Mal both at once LOL love the fact they sneak in bits from Nathan’s earlier roles. I’m pretty sure there will be a Firefly reference in there somewhere and how much you wanna bet Beckett will tease him about it?

I’m a BIG Firefly/Serenity fan and I think it’s kinda cool that Nathan pays homage to a great part of his past. Watch the show all the time and can’t wait ta see the Halloween show! Will Beckett dress as Zoe or Inara? I see her as aZoe type gal!
September 28th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Oh yer she’s definitley a Zoe girl BUT can you imagine Rick’s reaction if she was dressed as Inara LOL he’d probably faint
Ohhhh I’m wicked

This would be a good time for a guest appearance by Christina Hendricks in a Saffron costume as one of Castle’s old flames, no? Hilarity ensues as Beckett realizes she’s jealous?

I hope that Beckett also wears a Firefly themed costume, giving them an awkward “we have something in common” moment.

So long as he doesn’t burst out in a priest’s outfit. Caleb was creepy enough back in the day.
