But inspiration is coming in the most fortuitous if unlikely of ways. It wouldn't be a problem if the laid-back Lothario weren't suddenly faced with a major case of writer's block. Bored with the cop character who has been his bread-and-butter for a string of chart-busting crime thrillers, Rick has decided in his latest tome to blow his hero's brains out, thus making a continuance of the series a little difficult to say the least. (And probably has.) But he also knows how to modulate them as the occasion warrants, and where in his former role as Captain Mal Reynolds he could definitely play the bad-ass card when needed, here as womanizing bad-boy, party animal and bestselling novelist Rick Castle, he's a whole lot less serious. I can count the number of actors on one hand who can pull off the 'charming rascal' vibe in a way that never gets old, and Nathan can do those guys in his sleep. CASTLE wants to be a mix of all three, and fortunately one of the most valuable weapons in its arsenal is the rakish charm of its featured lead actor, former FIREFLY star Nathan Fillion. The problem is that when you have a pairing that mixes snappy patter and grudgingly mutual admiration with just a touch of sexual tension, the recipe is only going to be as good as the charisma of the two leads involved, whether it's a sitcom, dramedy or police procedural. Oh, yeah, we've seen this one before.Irresistible-force-meets-immovable object.
