Miss watching Nathan Fillion CASTLE episodes? With the newest season of THE ROOKIE coming to ABC on September 29th and a second season of ABSENTIA on Amazon Prime Video, I thought it would be fun to look back at the beloved CASTLE episodes starring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic that ran for 8 seasons on ABC. Do you have a favorite episode?
5 of my top favorite Nathan Fillion CASTLE Episodes (in no particular order):
The Good, The Bad, and the Baby (Season 6, Episode 10)
Synopsis: When a dying man leaves a baby with a priest, Castle and Beckett end up taking care of the baby while they investigate.
I loved watching Castle and Beckett trying to take care of an adorable baby in their care. Seeing Castle’s paternal instincts were ovary-warming. (is that even a thing?)
Nanny McDead (Season 1, Episode 2)
Synospis: A woman’s body is stashed in a laundry-room dryer in an upscale apartment building where she was a nanny; Castle tries to get inside Beckett’s head while writing the first novel in his Nikki Heat series.
This was the episode that hooked me on CASTLE at the very beginning. I loved Sarah Drew in the guest spot as nanny Chloe. And the original Season One chemistry between Castle and Beckett was spot-on.
Little Girl Lost (Season 1, Episode 9)
Synopsis: An FBI agent takes over the case when a two-year-old girl is kidnapped and a hefty ransom demand made. Despite instructions from Beckett to stay away from the investigation, Castle gets involved when he finds out that the FBI agent is her ex-boyfriend.
This has to have been my favorite mystery/case. I loved Julian Acosta as the father of the missing girl and also it was great to see Beckett and Castle deal with their unspoken chemistry when her ex-boyfriend (Bailey Chase) shows up.
3XK (Season 3, Episode 6)
Synopsis: A dead woman leaves clues indicating that the Tripler Killer, aka 3XK, is back after a four-year hiatus. Castle and Beckett play a deadly game of wits with the killer to prevent more killings.
Any episode featuring serial killer 3XK (Michael Mosley) was a highlight.
Food to Die For (Season 2, Episode 22)
Synopsis: A well-known chef is found frozen to death in the kitchen of a New York restaurant; Castle shares an attraction with a former classmate of Beckett’s (Julie Gonzolo).
Guest star Julie Gonzolo gets one of the best lines in the series. Fans of Castle + Beckett will definitely love the flirting going on in this episode.
Gosh, there are way more episodes I’d love to mention. Maybe for another post?

The Good, The Bad, and the Baby was one of my favorite episodes too! Everyone should watch Castle!!!!
castle just makes me happy. and it was so cute when they were caring for the baby.
I have not watched it but now I think I will.
Castle is HILARIOUS and a good one for the family to watch.
I love Castle!! Nathan Fillion has been one of my favorite actors since FireFly. Now I enjoy watching him in “The Rookie”.
FIREFLY. Ah yes. I remember Firefly being the teacher’s example in my screenwriting class in college.
I have never seen the show, but I have heard great things. It sounds like it is very entertaining, and I am a fan of Nathan Fillion – I’ll have to check out the show since we will be home a lot.
it is very entertaining! and Nathan Fillion does not disappoint.
Loved castle, was so sad to see it and bones come to an end
I keep hearing Castle is a good show to watch, and now i’m even more curious! Looking forward to seeing those 5 shows.
I need to check out the series. I like Nathan Fillion. Would be great to watch now that I have time at home.
I have never tried to watch but it sounds like an interesting show to be watch, will definitely checking this out!
We love the castle! The two main characters had great chemistry and the supporting cast was hilarious. Such a great show I watch that any day – we were kind of sad when it ended. I can’t say I remember these episodes specifically, but the show in general was one of our favourites that we both agreed on here actually.
I haven’t followed Castle after watching season 1. Your post makes me want to binge-watch all the series.
Oh, how interesting. I’m a fan of Nathan Fillion and have yet to watch Castle. Great suggestion. I will have to check it out.
First time I heard about this series. But it is a good time to discover new content. Gonna give a chance with the first season to see if I get hooked.
My husband was on this TV show!
He is such a great actor. I love his on-screen presence. I was so bummed when this show got cancelled.
Castle is one of my all-time favorite shows. I’ve been a fan of Nathan Fillion since I first saw him on Firefly.
I haven’t watch this series, Netflix is getting boring and i need new show. This is perfect!
I haven’t watched Castle and now I am asking myself why! I will check to see if I can watch these episodes you recommended. Sounds like a good show to binge watch!
I only started watching Castle last year and only because my sister wanted someone she could binge-watch the series with and loved it. It not as annoying as I thought it would
I’ve never seen the show but you have my interest!! I’m gonna check it out now!
I would really like to see this show. I will keep an eye out for these episodes for sure!
I have not watched a single one…not heard of Castle before, but will add to my watch list xx
i havent watched Castle before, but this might be a great watch. 🙂 I have to list it down. 😀
“The Good, The Bad, The Baby”….that episode is genius….and very hilarious, too! Castle should do a renew, honestly.
I haven’t watched Castle in a long time! I hope to watch it again soon. I have to take note of it.
It’s totally new to me. Lists of episodes are looking cool.I will check it and see it.
I’ve never watched Castle but I’ve just seen the promo for the rookie and it looks great. I’m planning to watch that one.
