While most of the dialogue was in English, many of the incidental phrases ("come in", "thank you", and so on) were in Chinese, as was pretty much all the cussing. Everyone we encounter on the show is, at the very least, biligual, speaking both English and Chinese. This is reflected in the language and culture of their new future society. And one of the founding concepts of the show is that America and China are the two great superpowers on Earth when humans have to leave the polluted planet behind and move to a new solar system. The "TV show I used to love" is, of course, Firefly.įirefly was a science fiction show, set far in the future. Season 3, Episode 9 - Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind Later, Beckett compliments Castle, saying "Hell of a shot, Castle."Ĭastle’s reply: “I was aiming for his head.” ![]() When Castle sees Beckett in trouble, he shoots the gun out of the killer’s hand (without harming him at all), which eventually allows for the killer’s arrest. She had given Castle a gun on the way in, just in case, because he was her only backup – the rest of the team being across the street in a building rigged by the killer to blow up. In the episode “Boom!”, just towards the end of the episode, Beckett is being held at gunpoint by the crazy serial killer. When the Captain turns to Jayne and says, "Nice shot", Jayne's response is a slurred “I was aiming for his head.” Later, the crew gets into a firefight in that same cargo bay with the bad guys of the week, and Jayne, still semi-conscious in the stairwell, manages to save the Captain's life by shooting the bad guy’s leg out from under him. Jayne eventually passes out, and they try to drag him back to the infirmary, but he’s too heavy, and they end up leaving him where he falls in the middle of the stairs in the cargo bay. Simon, the doctor, doesn’t think this is a great idea and mixes a sedative in with the painkillers (Jayne having earlier been shot). In Firefly, in the episode called “Train Job” (which will be #2 on the DVD box set, but was actually aired as the pilot - it’s a long story), the great big strapping (male, despite his name) mercenary, Jayne, decides that he doesn’t want to wait for the Captain (played by Nathan Fillion, aka Castle) and first mate Zoe to get themselves out of the pickle they’re in, he wants to take off right away. And yet, none of us are quite willing to let it go. Firefly, the series (there was also a movie), lived and died in the 2002/2003 television season, putting it a little more than 5 years prior to the Castle episode's original airdate in 2009. Is a good-natured dig at Nathan Fillion and the fans. Mal was the head of our scrappy band of space cowboys.Īlexis: "B, didn't you wear that, like, five years ago?"Īlexis: "So, don't you think you should move on?" The hallowe'en costume that Castle puts on? That was what Nathan Fillion's character, Captain Mal Reynolds, wore on Firefly. Please feel free to goose me on any that I've missed. They make me absurdly happy when they turn up, and I thought I'd start to keep a list, with details included for the casual viewer who, perhaps, cannot recite entire sections of dialogue. They have been popping the occasional reference to our dear, departed Firefly into episodes of Castle. Nathan Fillion also adored the show, and I have to assume the writers and producers on Castle did as well. It lasted 14 episodes before Fox cancelled it, and it is utterly and completely beloved by almost everyone who's ever seen it.
