Castle and Breaking Bad: TV made by geeks, for geeks
Last week, I watched possibly the geekiest ten minutes of television ever. In the Hallowe'en episode of Castle, Nathan Fillion's breezy detective series, Fillion spent the first act dressed as his much-missed Firefly/Serenity character, Mal Reynolds. “Didn't you wear that five years ago?” his … [Read more...]
