Todd’s Movie Blog

I don’t know how many of you are fans of the show Castle staring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, but I am a big fan.  One of the interesting tie ins of the show is the book Heat Wave, “written” by Filion’s character on the show.  Here’s where it gets interesting to me, the book is supposedly the same one that the TV character was working on in the first season.  It came out in stores about the same time the second season started and all of the characters talk about it in the early episodes.  Here comes the big joke.  Several characters mention an extremely steamy sex scene on page 197.   Now I did not buy the book (I’m not that big a fan), but I recently was able to  get it out of the library (I had been 46 out of 89 hold requests).  Being curious, and a guy, I flipped to the afore mentioned page and guess what, the book ends on page 196 with the characters heading for the lead character’s apartment to spend the night together.  Denied!!!!   I think that is the greatest and funniest fake out ever done with a piece of tie in merchandise.   Kudos to you ABC!
