Since the new book is completed, but not yet released, why is Richard Castle still around the precinct? I would figure the city would want to minimize liability by getting him off the streets as soon as possible.

Plus he has no real reason to be there. His research is complete.

I would really like to see them deal with this point, but I am guessing it will be ignored.

Cause Beckett is in love with him

Didn't they mention something about the mayor and the police department liking the "positive press" they are getting in the "high brow" community in NYC, of which Castle is a "darling" member.
 
But it doesn't seem to have gone on sale on the show yet, if the early review copies are just going out . . .

To the show's credit, they're being more or less realistic about how slow publishing is. (As opposed to some other tv shows I can think of, where books go from delivery to publication in about four episodes!)

I wonder how many actual pro writers are watching this show and what they think about it.:vulcan:

It's kind of perpetuating the myth that writers are rich and lead glamorous lives. I guess maybe Castle is one of those top-tier authors on the level of a Stephen King, say, so it's not impossible, but his standard of living is hardly representative of the profession as a whole, especially in these tough economic times, and I wish they'd acknowledge that.
 
True, but, so far, it's more accurate than, say, BONES or JUDGING AMY.

I still snicker when I remember the BONES episode in which her publisher gave her a new car because her latest book had sold so well. WTF?

Yeah, that happens all the time . . .

And he has connections.
 
Castle's Heatwave is number 26 on the NYTimes best seller list. :lol:

At least that is what Nathan Fillion is saying on twitter.

I thought that was only why Beckett was stuck doing the interview. I guess it could be seen as the reason on a long term basis.
 
Castle has helped them solve a number of homicide cases, so why wouldn't they want him to stay on? I mean, you have to wonder why the citizens of Cabot Cove didn't elect Jessica Fletcher the town sheriff after a while. Although they were stupid enough to keep living there despite the horrifically high homicide rate, so...
 
Speaking of which, anyone follow his twitter? He sent one out today about John Frakes.

"Johnathan Frakes is directing. Yesterday, he called me Number One. My heart made a noise that sounded like awesome."

:lol:
Oh wow. I've never seen a more convincing reason to get twitterpated than that quote. I just love him so much - he is such a doll!

As usual, the regular characters make this show. But Alexis' bangs are back. :p
 
Well, that's not true according to the most recent published list:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/books/bestseller/besthardfiction.html?ref=bestseller

However, since the book only came out recently, maybe Fillion's referring to the next list. The current one was posted six days ago, so maybe there will be a new one shortly.

Could be. Most publishers are notified weeks in advance if their books are going to make the list. (I found out about THE Q CONTINUUM when we got an advance peek at the list faxed to us at Tor. I believe my excited shrieks echoed down the corridors of the Flatiron Building . . . .)
