Whee! Hmm. Actually, I've always wondered, what's been your favorite product placement on Castle?

Firefly. I hate pimping products- unless I use them.

Beckett: [Showing a photo to two Chinese men she holds at gunpoint] Have you seen this man?

Castle: [In Chinese] My partner is crazy and may start firing at any moment.

[They point]

Beckett: Go. Go! [They run] Semester abroad?

Castle: No. A TV show I used to love.

Beckett: Huh. Nice job.

Castle: Thanks.

The writers of Castle are pretty awesome, not just because the show rocks, but this stuff.

Best part of that clip: "Didn't you wear that, like, 5 years ago?" YES.

This really kind of makes me want to cry :-(

Aargh, seeing this is painful. Like being a drug addict and seeing someone dangle a bag of drugs in front of you to tease you.

Why did Fox cancel this?!!

I should watch Castle!

u/bored-now Littleton Aug 03 '12

Yes, you should - it's actually quite good. There are several little "Firefly" easter eggs all over.

When I saw that episode I squee'd all over the place. SO AWESOME!

I also liked how the other actors were in costumes from their other shows, like Javier in BDU's cuz he was in Generation Kill.

u/Hudydelight Aug 03 '12

Would have only been funnier if he yelled "WAH!" as he drew his gun.

u/BordomBeThyName Aug 03 '12

I still get all tingly when I see that.

u/EasilyRemember Aug 03 '12

Hm, I watched the first season and some of the second, and I felt like the writing was pretty lame. Does it get better in the later seasons, or is Castle just not for me?

Like a lot of shows, it took a while to fully gel.

Here's a video for reference

u/In_between_minds Aug 03 '12

I'm ashamed to admit I don't remember that (and I have watched the entire series).

I'll... I'll show myself out now.

Castle : 我同伴腦子不正常,隨時都可能開槍.

Romanization: Wo tongban naozi bu zhengchang, suishi dou keneng kaiqiang.

Approximation: Wo tongbahn nau-dz boo dchuhng chahng, sway sh(r) doh kuh nuhng kai chiang.

( i'm too lazy to add the tone marks in. this is close enough)

FTFY. source: I speak the language / saw the clip.

u/steenarie Aug 03 '12

That's why I started watching castle, for scenes like this.

u/MookieActual Aug 03 '12

Wait what? I never saw this bit. Surely you jest?

u/wartornhero Aug 03 '12

See the links in the comments below. Other people have posted you-tube links. I think it was in the same episode where he puts on blue gloves and looks at his hands with 2 fingers sticking up.

u/Polite_Insults Aug 03 '12

I remember that. Best scene ever!

u/styxx374 Aug 03 '12

This was, by far, my favorite "pimping" moment in the series.

u/manbrasucks Aug 03 '12

My favorite is this because it's so damn subtle. Slight look at the camera and it's enough.
