    He also referenced his soap opera past on the first episode of Castle. Susan Sullivan who plays his mom also started out in soaps so that is something they share. Many actors, or maybe it is their PR people, shy away from their soap credits - not Nathan.

    He was interviewed on Ellen and he shared a story about when he purchased a house and there was a stray cat. Long story short the cat was being attacked by raccoons and he ended up bringing the sickly thing into his house, spent a fortune on vet bills and built stairs so the poor old thing could climb onto his bed. He really is a sweet Canadian boy.

    Who else here can't stand Twitter? Hate the name, hate the branding, hate the vernacular.

    "Heat Wave" is #26 on the NYT bestseller and #8 at Amazon.

    @UlyssesPony: I've been reading it the past few days--it basically reads like an extended episode of the show, except with "Nikki" instead of Beckett and "Jamie" instead of Rick. The book is short (~200 pages), but enjoyable, and the back and forth banter between the characters is virtually the same as on the show. If you like the show, you'll like the book. Totally worth my $11.

    @debo matar la zombi goldberry83: Exactly. Our mere mortal Kinsey scale categories break down in the presence of Fillion.

    It's not weird at all. He's just that handsome and charming. And prettier than she is.

    A common term in the military is to "square" yourself away, which is where I assume the 5x5 comes from.

    @jaredafrica000: First number is signal strength, second is signal clarity, on a 1 to 5 scale (in radio communications that is). Squared away, I think, refers to the military obsession for everything being literally squared, rectangled, or otherwise perpendicular in and around your bunk, esp. in basic training.

    could this man be anymore charming?! i love nathan fillion!

    everytime i see him on tv (and i only see castle because of him) it is like a bittersweet moment... it's always great to see him on camera but it also always hurts a bit to see him and think that he could still be our beloved Captain Tightpants. =')

    My Nathan Fillion love knows no bounds. I want him to be my best friend. And my boyfriend.

    I wish I'd been awake last night to catch this episode, but I was all tired out from travelling and turkey eating. I can't wait for the Halloween episode though.
