I guess the ABC Television series, Castle is popular! I fielded quite a few emails and comments about the article I wrote last week regarding the brilliant marketing strategy ABC is using by publishing a book written by the lead (fictional) character of the series. I think the series has a HUGE number of female fans, if the comments I received were any indication..LOL
I mentioned in last week's article how the actor who plays Richard Castle, Nathan Fillion, also played Capt. Mal Reynolds in one of my fav sci fi series, Firefly. So, in an unexpected turn of events, in this week's episode Castle dresses up as a space cowboy (i.e. his character, Mal, from Firefly) when he's trying on costumes in preparation for his Halloween party.
Now, the icing on the cake would have been to permit him to mention the uncanny resemblance between himself (Castle) and Mal Reyolds of that little sci fi show that was canceled after one season or to make some other reference to it other than just the clothing....Guess the Castle writers either couldn't overcome the copyright issues with the Firefly folks or didn't think of doing so. Had they made the connection more overt, I bet it would have greatly increased DVD sales of both Firefly and the followup movie, Serenity.
