MONDAYS 10|9c Latest Full Episode: The Double Down
CASTLE - "Vampire Weekend" - As Halloween approaches, Castle and Beckett are called to a graveyard where the body of a young man sporting vampire fangs has been discovered with a wooden stake driven through his heart. Their investigation takes them deep into the heart of New York's underground vampire fetish community, where they learn that the motive for the victim's murder may be hiding within the pages of the graphic novel he was writing before his death, on "Castle," MONDAY, OCTOBER 26 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on ABC. (ABC/MICHAEL DESMOND)MOLLY QUINN, NATHAN FILLION
Halloween is near and Castle is thinking about dressing up as a space cowboy for his big costume party. Anyone else think Nathan Fillion could handle that role with a certain degree of serenity? But we digress, partially because we don’t want to plug another franchise, but primarily because there’s a mystery that needs solving.

Castle meets Beckett at a cemetery where they find the body of a young man stabbed through the heart with a stake. The victim even has fangs! They are able to ID the dead guy as Crow, his chosen name within the Vampire Fetish Community. His real name is Matthew Freeman. At Crow’s apartment, they discover he was working on a graphic novel. His landlady mentions a girlfriend that Crow had argued with recently.

They locate the girl, the Vampire Mistress Vixen, who says they fought over another lover that Crow had taken – Daemon, a writer with whom Crow was working on the graphic novel. Daemon and Crow had been shadowing Morgan Lockerby, a former Coven member turned paranoid homeless man. Later, Beckett learns from Ryan that there’s a print on the stake belonging to Lockerby.

CASTLE -

Which costume should Castle have worn?

Should Castle have stuck with the space cowboy look or the fangs instead of switching to Edgar Allan Poe?

The Edgar Allen Poe costume for sure, looks distinguished. Vampire High Summary

Edger Allan Poe rox. I like Edger Allan poe but hes like not at all like Castle. He was a serious writer, like in the raven with the *tap tap atpping at my chamber door.* castle writes a lot differnt then Edger Allan Poe. I know, i read Heat Wave. Who truly wrote that book tho???

HELLO!!!!!! his space cowboy outfit is his costume from his show Firefly. in the show he was Captain Malcolm Reynolds. So yeah, he shouldʻve been the space cowboy a.k.a. Mal

I thought Edgar Allan Poe fit him very well. I know the show is always about the investigation, but it would be fun to have a bit more personal time and a bit less chasing the bad guys. The show is so formulaic it would be nice if we could see into their personal lives a bit and not have the 3 or 4 leads that make sense but don't work out narrowed down to 2 or 3 and have more time for other stuff. I'm always excited when the cast gets to interact on a personal level.

i think that Castle should have stood with the first idea which was the space cowboy because Beckett commented on it and i think he looked amazing in it :) and it was cool to see him in that again

The writers, whoever had the idea, to have Nathan dress up as the "space cowboy" should be cheered and taking out for lunch. My wife and I are big "Firefly" fans and seeing Nathan dawn the Brown coat again was a nice suprise for his fans. The dialogy between he and his Daughter I thought were shadows of William Shattner and the Star Trek fans in the old "SNL" skit. We thought it was the best opening we have seen on Castle to date. Thanks.

Most definitely an independent space cowboy! In tribute to all the browncoats in the verse, the fans most definitely noticed - thanks for remembering us. Here's to you Captain Fillion Tightpants. Good work and keep flying. We'll support all the decent shows that you guys do. Cheers!

If anyone noticed Nathan Fillion was wearing his Captain Malcolm Reynolds outfit from Senerenity and ever had the gun. Should have worn that but they put that in a goof

I think he should have stuck to his Firefly Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds uniform he still looks the part after all these years.

Are you kidding?! Captain Tightpants all the way. Those first few minutes were outstanding. The fact that you put Mal back on TV just shows you know who your viewers are and what they'd give anything to see. And a Buffy reference? You all ROCK. By far on of the top three episodes you've done. I love this show. Keep up the excellent work.

The browncoats will rise again. (Cue spaceship rising in background) My wife and I absolutly LOVED the tribute and think that it should have been continued. We'd like to see more tributes thrown in if possible. Malcolm Reynolds was definently one of his best roles if not the best.

Hmmm, since the name of this show is CASTLE and he plays a WRITER, I think Poe was the way to go...but I also enjoy the pop culture references to past characters.

No, I like the way they did it. It was a good shout out and we loved it and it wasn't overdone for the people who haven't seen Firefly and Serenity yet.

not the fangs, that just wasnt him. I can see why he went with Poe, being a creepy writer and all.. i hoped he would stay the space cowboy, Maybe Alexis convinced him to try something new. I LOVED the space cowboy outfit, cant go wrong with that.
