I'd like to echo Kathleen's statement about "Waitress". It's a charming movie, and Fillion plays against type as a small-town doctor.

I love watching Castle for pure entertainment, and avoid thinking about silly details like realism.

I had not heard a word about this novel. Thanks for the heads-up.

Nice post, Cathi. My husband and I enjoy watching Castle. I don't worry about what's authentic on the show, it's pure entertainment. I love the chemistry between Castle & Beckett.
If you didn't catch Nathan Fillion in "Waitress" it is definitely worth the trip to the library, Blockbuster, or getting it via Netflix, On demand, etc...I LOVE that movie.

I am a huge Castle fan.

I like the show BECAUSE it is so unlike real life. I get enough real life on CNN!

I love CASTLE. It's not technically accurate in terms of either police procedure or the writer's life, but it's fun. And Nathan Fillion isn't difficult to watch. ;)

I adore the show because they seem to be doing it for fun sake. And Nathan Fillion is from HERE! I miss Firefly though.

I love Castle even though it's about as faulty on the life of writers and the lives of New Yorkers in general as it is on police procedure. (I, too, like Lofland's analyses -- http://www.leelofland.com/wordpress.) Oddly, I have no desire to read the book.

This isn't the first time a character has written a book. I know at least a couple of soap opera characters have done it. (I am pretty sure those were "memoirs", but I don't remember well enough--it was several years ago that I remember seeing them.)

I'm not, in general, a huge fan of tie-in fiction, though people say this one is exceptionally well-done.

I just recorded an episode of this show (haven't watched it yet), because I'd heard good things about it! New series usually take at least half a season to find their feet, I think, and I think the Fillion fangirl crushes can't be hurting viewership.

Considering how Dollhouse worked out, Joss Whedon nothwithstanding (holding nose), I'm hoping this one with a Firefly alumnus is better.

Actually, thanks to your post, I know a whole lot more about the premise than I did five minutes ago. Thanks!

I love watching Castle as much for Lee Lofland's reviews on his The Graveyard Shift blog (where he provides commentary on the accuracy of the police procedures and forensics) as for the entertainment. It can be a fun romp.

(And Lofland makes it clear, he provides his commentary to help writers avoid glaring mistakes if they're writing police work--he enjoys the show as a romantic comedy.)

Ok. Between Scott D. Parker and now your post I am going to do something I normally avoid: watch a current TV show. I enjoyed Fillion in Firefly and am looking forward to watching Castle. I will have to check out the book when I get back to that side of the el mundo.

This is one of those shows that have episodes that work and ones that don't. I wonder which ones Castle writes! Filming every scene with his daughter as if they were lighting a religious icon doesn't help.
