Season one gave us some tidbits. The season two episode "Sucker Punch" gave us the first part of the story. In this week's episode of Castle, "Knockdown", we get the next big chunk of the mystery.
I'll get to the rest of the episode in a moment. But first, a recap of what we know so far about Johanna Beckett's death.

Who killed Beckett's mother? Recapping what we know so far.
I was watching The Big Bang Theory this evening, and CTV was busy promoting the heck out of Castle. There's a new episode tomorrow, in which [spoiler] happens. And, according to the trailer...

more bits of interesting: The Big Bang Theory and Firefly's Jewel Staite
I should have waited another day before posting. I have two more bits of interesting!
First of all, The Big Bang Theory has been renewed. It has been renewed, in fact, not for one more season, but for three more. The quality of the episodes this season has been a little uneven, but for the sake of the occasional episode that makes me pee my pants, this is a definite HURRAY!
On a marginally related note, if you've ever been curious about what those vanity cards at the end of each episode of The Big Bang Theory actually say, you can find them all here. They're written by the producer, Chuck Lorre, who is also responsible for Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly, Dharma & Greg, Cybill and Grace Under Fire. Vanity cards for those episodes can be found through links at the same site.
Secondly, Jewel Staite, who played Kaylee the mechanic on Firefly, is going to be blogging semi-regularly on Blastr. Today's post can be found here. It's a nice mix of information about her life and answers to reader questions. She also talks about why watching Serenity makes her cry.

Star Wars had nothing to do with it
I stumbled onto this article the other day. "Shoulda Been Bigger: How Star Wars Killed Babylon 5." It posits that science fiction fans were so wrapped up in the Star Wars prequels that they had no attention left to spend on science fiction television like Babylon 5. And that in a world with no Star Wars prequels, presumably, Babylon 5 would have launched into a hugely successful franchise.
I call bullshit.

Firefly references in Castle
Here at last!
I am a huge Firefly fan and I adore Castle as well. I get such a kick out of all the little Firefly references that they've been sneaking into Castle over the last couple of seasons.
And the good news is, I've finally put my little notes together and created what will be a comprehensive list of all the Firefly references in Castle, with details, explanations and clips!
Have you noticed any references that I've missed? If so, I'd love to hear about it. Want more details? Have any questions? Drop me a comment! I'm very excited about my little project.
