On "Castle" last night, great line from Nathan Fillion for the Browncoats out there. His character, Richard Castle, said a line of dialogue in Chinese.

Beckett: "Semester abroad?"

Castle: "No, TV show I used to love."

I enjoyed that.

Did the girl character then make an exasperated face at Castle?

Don't know.
As you often point out, I only have eyes for Nathan.

Being Lyle Lovett stalkers, Mrs. Cowperson and I were more rivetted by Lovett's turn as a mysterious G-Man than picking up on Firefly references.

The thread title got my hopes up. While I appreciate tongue in cheek references to the show, I would appreciate another movie or a series renewal more...

Sorry. Should have been more careful, I know how you feel.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about as I don't watch this show. Was the Chinese mandarin or Cantonese? Youtube or it didn't happen.

I never really watched Firefly either but I get how some people would get a nerdgasm over this. It'd be like William Shatner wearing a gold Captain Kirk uniform (which tears because he's so fat) on $^it my Dad Says (horrible show).

The haloween costume was a great reference. I rewound it about 5 times. The youtube clip missed the best line from Castle's daughter.

"Besides, didn't you wear that like 5 years ago?"

The best scene (as posted already) was when he came out in his space cowboy outfit in the Halloween episode in season 2. He is my favorite actor right now.

He is the only reason why I watch that show, it is a terrible show, but I watch it just for Fillion.

No the show is not back. No new movie either.

Took my kids to see Percy Jackson Sea Of Monsters. Nathan Fillion was in it as Hermes, best part of the movie too. Anyway, his character gives the young heroes an item to help them; looked like a Hercules thermos or something.

I now paraphrase,

Percy: what is that from?
Nathan: what? It's from the greatest TV show ever, Hercules (something). You know what happens with great shows though, cancelled after one year.

Sorry for the old bump.

It's funny that you bumped this. It reminded me that Serenity is playing at Chinook tomorrow and I think I'm going to see it.
