Tonight: Nathan Fillion is Castle

It’s not scifi, but fans of Firefly’s Nathan Fillion will want to tune in to Castle, premiering tonight on ABC. Nathan plays mystery writer Richard Castle who learns that a real-world copycat killer has started staging murders from scenes depicted in his novels. Castle is questioned by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic, “The Spirit”), a bright and aggressive detective who keeps her investigations under a tight rein. Together, they try to solve the mystery as the sexual tension between them increases!

I guess after that, Castle is hooked, since he’ll be helping solve a new mystery each week. As a scifi bonus, the first episode was directed by Rob Bowman of The X-Files!

Check it out at 10:00 every Monday on ABC.
