    • 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.

    Creative, Witty, and Nathan Fillion
    I just finished watching the first showing and I am very pleased. Others and I have been starving for more Nathan Fillion ever since Firefly. It seems he has finally landed a lead role, which he has so definitely earned, in an interesting looking series. At this juncture, I don't have many predictions for the series which is a rarity these days and I think that it will be fun watching Castle and detective Beckett's relationship grow. The writing was quite creative even though it sometimes felt like they were rushing things. I think its possible that they could have made this first episode last another week or two, however, at the same time, its fast pace leaves no time wasted. I found myself sprinting into the kitchen for munchies and racing back in hopes of not missing any of the action. I will definitely be watching this next week :)
