Casting News: Michael Trucco heats up on Castle

Relationships on ABC's Castle are never stagnant. Fantastic Canadian co-stars Nathan Fillion (Castle) and Stana Katic (Beckett) bring the heat to their partnership week after week, but it certainly isn't exclusive.

The latest love interest for Beckett will be none other than Michael Trucco, the sexy Battlestar Galactica alum fresh off of a guest appearance on V. He will be kicking off a multi-episode arc on Monday's episode "Den of Thieves"as Detective Tom Demming.

Castle meets Captain Mal in Halloween episode

I already love Castle and Nathan Fillion, so obviously his reference to Firefly was a great start to a week of Halloween themed TV. In this opening scene Castle also references cult favourites Buffy (which he also played a character in) and Underworld (ties to which are unknown).

Nathan Fillion as Richard Castle appears in this Halloween themed episode of Castle dressed as a space cowboy. This Halloween costume looks suspiciously like one Captain Malcolm Reynolds. Fantastic!

My favourite exchange regarding the Firefly reference was between Castle and his daughter Alexis.

*****

Quick cuts of belt being fastened, boots zipped and laced, suspenders pulled on, swinging pistol into a holster, tight-pants and a flare of a long brown coat.

We stop and ask ourselves, which Nathan Fillion show have we tuned into tonight?

Richard Castle bursts into the living room in full Captain Mal costume, pulls the pistol and strikes a pose. Alexis looks up, hardly surprised.

Alexis: Hey

Castle: Hey

I was...I was just trying on my Halloween costume...

Alexis: What exactly are you supposed to be?

Castle: Space cowboy. he says matter a factually

Hmm... that punction music sounds familiar

Alexis: Okay; a) there are no cows in space, and b) didn't you wear that like 5 years ago

Yes he did! On a little show called Firefly!!!

Castle: So?

Alexis: So, don't you think you should move on?

From Firefly? I sure haven't

Castle: I like it

And so do I!

*****

Loving it! Great sophomore season so far, keep up the great work Castle!

Castle is picked up for a full second season

Castle, a procedural crime show starring none other then the incredibly charming Nathan Fillion as an author hoping to find inspiration by going into the field and becoming part of a team of homicide detectives has been picked up for a full second season.

ABC has commissioned a full 22 episodes, the show has dropped in numbers but has managed to hold onto a decent amount of the Dancing with the Stars lean-in viewers.

More Nathan Fillion is always good news!
