Long before Nathan Fillion was solving crimes with Stana Katic on Castle, he was soaring through space on the short-lived cult fave Firefly. Now, for the first time, Castle is reuniting Nathan with one of his former co-stars on the ABC crime series.
In an episode slated for spring, Adam Baldwin, who played Firefly's Jayne Cobb to Nathan's Capt. Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds, will guest star as a detective named Ethan Slaughter. (How's that for a character name?)
Slaughter is described to me as a rough and tumble cop from the city's gang unit who lands a case that Castle is desperate to follow. Along the way, Slaughter shows Castle a dirtier side of police work that forces Castle to reconsider what he's willing to do to close a case. As the season nears its cliffhanging conclusion, expect this new alliance to place Castle in the line of fire like never before.
My sources tell me Nathan is over the moon about this fun nod to his sci-fi past. Nathan and Adam also co-starred together in Firefly's 2005 spin-off feature film, Serenity.

New wig.. Groovy.
He also looks like he has dropped a few pounds. His face looks leaner. Maybe he laid off those footlong Spicy Italians.

So. bad. :rofl:
Looking forward to seeing this ep.
Whew. IMDb only has 20 episodes listed for season 4, but I read on Wiki that there's 23.
So when does Toupeey McToupeenstein appear?
This may be a spoiler, unless you watched Adam's panel at ECCC.
[spoiler]Adam said they were working on doing more with the Ethan Slaughter character. So I would assume that means he doesn't get killed.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Now that Anne Wheaton is trying to get him blacklisted from cons he'll need to rely on his acting more. Which means [spoiler]canceling Dragon*Con.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
From the preview: "You're a grown man."
HA! That was "awesome."
Sherlock :haha:
Jake and the Fat Man :haha:
That'll get you flyin'.
Nice entrance. :fbshiny:
Nice swap from the Ricky Linderman jacket to the brown coat.
I noticed Linderman's jacket right away, although Jayne did wear a army green jacket the first time he met Mal and Zoe. :squee:
(and in Train Job, etc. etc. etc.)
I was waiting for either Nate or Adam to comment on the colour .
Then again it was pretty obvious anyways ....
Fun ep .
:like:
Not nearly the number of shoutouts that one would hope for.

I was sorta hopin' for "Pain is scary." when Slaughter was questioning the Jamaican with a trash compactor .
Aside from the brown coat, the only one I caught was when Slaughter offered Sherlock a bit of the hair of the dog and said "That'll get you flyin'" and even that was a stretch. They said the catalyzer was there, I guess in the junkyard.
AB was more Jayne than John and he looked like he had fun. A lot more fun than he did with Chuck, but maybe that was because he didn't look constipated.

I'd like to see Slaughter again .
Maybe even become a rival for Beckett's affections ......

Or get his own series.
They'd have to flesh out the character more, but I could see a series based on the character doing well.

And supporting cast, like Slaughters cute ME at the beginning of the show.
Jason Mamoa would be a good sidekick. The testosterone fog would be thick.
I suppose the undercover guy might be cool too .
And he could have a new partner every week .....
;)

My only memory of MB is the abortion flap and the painter who never painted .
Or was it her choosing to be a single parent ?
Either way , there was a painter ....
???
The running joke was that she had a new secretary each week, almost always incompetent.
Probably the best one was when Marcia Wallace showed up and was everything she could hope for. Efficient, polite, one step ahead of Murphy. Then Peter Bonerz and Bob Newhart showed up at the end and begged her to come back and work for them again.

I had to Google her - I knew I knew the name though ....

I'm surprised that clip isn't on YouTube. :(

I quoted that during the show!
Adam played him over the top a bit but that was the point.
The garbage truck reminded me of an airlock...
