* ShowWithinAShow:
** "The Late Shaft" - Bobby Mann Live is a mashup of the Letterman/Leno/O'Brien/Fallon late night TV shows, where the host Bobby Mann (played by Tom Bergeron) is the Victim of the Week
** "One Life to Lose" - Temptation Lane is a shoutout to daytime soaps.
** "Nebula 9" - A ShoutOut to ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' (due to its short life and cult following) as well as ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and ''Series/BattlestarGalacticaClassic''.
* ShowerScene: Beckett gets one in "Tick, Tick, Tick". The scene has many variants of the trope; the shower silhouette, the in-shower cam, the leg washing, the stepping into a towel, etc. [[IncrediblyLamePun It gets hot.]]
** She gets nekkid again for a glass of wine and a long, hot bath with a Rick Castle book. 
* ShownTheirWork:
** Castle researches the material in his books before he writes them so as to present an accurate depiction of the subject matter. However that doesn't stop him from taking ArtisticLicense with [[HollywoodVoodoo certain subjects]].
** In "Always Buy Retail", Castle brings in an expert on Voodoo he'd used in his books. She explains that voodoo is a serious religion, and that Castle had sensationalized it with gratuitous sex imagery. 
** In one episode, a killer was said to have been synthesizing [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDX cyclonite (a.k.a. RDX)]] from formaldehyde. While formaldehyde is not a directly used in the synthesis, it is used to manufacture of the reagents used in synthesis. A sort of pre-precursor if you will. It was pleasantly surprising that the writers bothered to give a plausible method.
** In "Wrapped Up In Death", the producers used a bio lab tech to show that they know what Carbon-14 dating is ([[Series/{{CSI}} unlike some other shows]]), and why it would work on mummies...and why it wouldn't work with the mummy in question. [[spoiler:It's only a 4-month-old mummy.]]
** In "The Late Shaft," Lanie gets a chance to explain MAO Inhibitors, and that you shouldn't take anything fermented with it (especially not balsamic vinegar).
** In the season 2 finale, a bullet fragment is said to have been fired through a polygonal rifled barrel, such as those found in Glocks. Not only would it actually be possible to discern that from a bullet fragment, Glocks actually are one of the most common handguns to use polygonal rifling.
** In "Punked" the writers managed to accurately portray SteamPunk, actually contracting many professional Steampunk costumers for the club scene and having Castle deliver a very accurate summation of the philosophy of the subculture. This was especially rewarding after the poorly researched equivalent in ''Series/NCISLosAngeles''.
** "Last Call" gives us a pretty detailed history of New York during Prohibition, where there were a lot of speakeasies, supposedly because Mayor Jimmy Walker was an opponent of Prohibition.
** Sadly, ''not'' used in "Undead Again", where the drug scopolamine's effects are totally mis-stated. 
* SingleTear: [[TheCutie Ryan]] is the only one crying when they meet in "Knockout", [[spoiler: after Captain Montgomery's death.]] A perfect single tear rolls down his face.
* SleepCute:
** The episode "Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind" has Rick Castle and Detective Beckett wake up in her police car after they were taken, interrogated then drugged by mysterious government agents. Later they are asked "Are those hickeys?" "I wish... They're from the injectors" he answers.
** At the very beginning of "Cuffed", before they realize that they were--yet again--kidnapped and drugged.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Castle's generally a lighthearted optimist who's more willing to see the best in people, where Beckett's more of a hardened cynic who's more inclined to think the worst. Both have had their belief systems challenged, but the series seems to be leading to Beckett gradually warming to Castle's viewpoint of the world more than vice-versa.
* SlutShaming: A rare male example. Beckett is happy to shame the show's resident slut, Castle, who shrugs it off with good grace. See also: UrbanLegendLoveLife.
* SmugSnake:
** The killer, [[spoiler: Scott Dunn]], in "Tick... Tick... Tick...[=/=]Boom!" -- he clearly ''wants'' to be a MagnificentBastard and spends most of the two-part episode one step ahead of the police and the FBI, but this is more than balanced out by his tendency towards {{Villainous Breakdown}}s whenever things go against him and his general slimy, arrogant know-it-all demeanour.
** Simmons, the drug lord Beckett brings in to ask about her mother's murderer in "Knockdown". [[spoiler: He actually gets her angry enough to throw him against the interrogation mirror and cracks the hell out of it, not to mention nearly goading Castle to a fistfight.]]
** The little bastard from "Hedge Fund Homeboys". Both Castle and Beckett really, really want to take that punk down.
** The prime suspect in "Undead Again" even wants to fill up a comment card for the level of service he received while being held inside the precinct.
* SniffSniffNom: In "Murder Most Fowl" Castle finds a feather in the victims pocket, sniffs it, licks it and then declares that it's from a bird of prey. He also concludes that therefore, the man must have been killed by the nefarious [[EpilepticTrees "Falcon Killer"]].
-->'''Castle:''' Struck down by a killer with the speed and cunning of a bird of prey.\\
'''Everyone else:''' (''incredulous look'')\\
'''Beckett:''' Don't ask.
* SoCalization: In "The Third Man", in Alexis' jealousy over her father's attention, she mentions that her classmate wants him. She then says that she's seventeen, "but she'll be legal in three months!" The age of consent in New York is seventeen.
* SortingAlgorithmOfMortality: Lampshaded by Ryan to Esposito in "Under The Gun" who comments that because Esposito is snarky and Hispanic, he'll definitely die first. Castle tries to lampshade it but Beckett cuts him off.
* SoundtrackDissonance: In quite a few intros where the camera pans down to a corpse, relatively light music can be heard playing the background. Especially dissonant in the intro to "Home is Where the Heart Stops" with that cheery little pop playing as the camera slowly pans to the body.
* SpecialEditionTitle: "Countdown"'s title sequence is simply the logo, unanimated and tinted blue, to prevent MoodWhiplash.
** "Kick the Ballistics" has the logo in normal colors, but no cheery music, again to prevent whiplash.
** "Demons" has a Halloween special version of the intro, with the piano music played via OminousPipeOrgan and wolves howling.
** "The Blue Butterfly" has the tune played in sax, jazz style.
** "Always" has the logo in slighly greener tones, without cheery music.
** "Swan Song" features an rock version of the theme tune.
** "Secret Santa" gives us a Christmas-themed version, not unlike the ''HomeAlone'' title music.
* SpecialGuest:
** Joe Torre, a baseball player and manager, who appears in "Suicide Squeeze". Castle is fairly nonchalant, having met Joe before and not being overly interested in the game anyway, but Beckett can barely keep from {{Squee}}ing and immediately rushes off to call her dad to gloat.
** Chef Rocco Dispirito appeared in "Food to Die For" during Castle’s date with Beckett's high school BFF.
** Gene Simmons shows up in "To Love and Die in LA" as a friend of Mike Royce's.
** Castle calls Wes Craven in "Scared to Death" for help on a scary case.

moving to sub-page Castle.Shout Out

Changed line(s) 149,250 (click to see context) from:

* ShoutOut:
** A great many (some mentioned above) to several of the actors' previous works. See the ActorAllusion entry under Trivia for more details.
** A couple to Creator/AlfredHitchcock. The plot of "Double Down" is based on Hitchcock's ''Strangers on a Train'', with both the film and the novel that inspired it getting a mention. In "Tick, Tick, Tick," taxidermy is referred to as Norman Bates' favorite pastime. "The Lives of Others" is a direct homage to "Rear Window", a fact that is lampshaded by several characters in the episode (later, it turns out that the "killing" was staged and the whole thing really ''was'' a homage to the episode, even in-universe). 
** "Little Girl Lost". Castle is asked why, with twenty-six bestsellers, he feels the need to shadow a cop. He points out that the ones on TV [[CSIMiami seem oddly fixated on their sunglasses]].
** When asked what they call perps, some of the names that the officers answer with are [[TheDarkCrystal Skeksis]] and [[Series/LandOfTheLost Sleestak]].
** In "Ghosts", they mention an old oil tanker bombing that crippled the captain. Who was the captain? Why, one [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Captain Pike]]. Many of the Castle crew are Star Trek alums. 
** In "Deep In Death", Beckett discusses how she sometimes visits Little Odessa (Brighton Beach, Brooklyn). When she was Hana Gitelman on ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', she tended to be in Odessa, Texas.
*** From the same episode, Castle grants Alexis permission to see ''Theatre/{{Fame}}'' with her boyfriend "but I have dibs on ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''." Molly Quinn, who portrays Alexis, did voice work for the film.
** In the season 2 premiere, Castle asks the coroner if she wants some music, because she's [[spoiler: taking a fingerprint from the inside of a glove]] and he says that in ''Series/{{CSI}}'' they do it to music.
** Anyone who follows NathanFillion on Twitter probably squealed with pleasure when in "The Double Down", he slipped in his catch phrase "Bam, said the lady", and again when he made the puntacular offshoot "Blam, said the lady" in "Last Call".
** "Vampire Weekend" is full of [[Trivia/{{Castle}} Actor Allusions]]. Check that page for a list.
*** Castle references ''Film/{{Underworld}}'' when talking about the body.
*** The episode itself is named after a popular indie rock band.
** In "A Rose For Everafter," the name of Castle's NewOldFlame is a ShoutOut to ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' (Kyra '''Blaine'''), as are the resolution of the [[LoveTriangle Love Quadrangle]] and this quote:
---> '''Kyra''': Out of all the murders at all the weddings in all the cities in the world, you walk into mine.
** Quite a few to ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'', actually. In "Last Call", Castle is considering starting up his own bar, and trying to think up a name. His mother suggests "Rick's Cafe Americain". Castle says "That's much better than my idea: [[IncrediblyLamePun 'Castle-blanca']]"
** In "Den of Thieves", upon walking on Castle's poker lesson for Alexis, Castle's mom references ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' with a [[HypocriticalHumor similar joke]]:
--->'''Martha:''' "I am shocked, shocked, to find gambling going on in this establishment! ''[Pause]'' Deal me in."
** In "The Third Man" Esposito asks Castle and Beckett "why are you so obsessed with some motherfreaking snakes on a motherfreaking plane." [[SnakesonaPlane Sound familiar?]]
** Though probably not a shout-out per se, the baseball-themed episode "Suicide Squeeze" was written by Jose Molina...which happens to also be the name of a baseball player who most recently played for the New York Yankees.
** In "Wrapped Up in Death", Castle finds a familiar looking [[IndianaJones brown fedora and whip]], donning the fedora as he examines a sarcophagus. The episode title itself sounds like yet another murder mystery/bestseller reference, this time to the "InDeath" series by J.D. Robb.
** Three ScoobyDoo references: Castle compared Beckett to Daphne and tells the villain "This is the part where you say 'And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for YouMeddlingKids!" and Beckett said the infamous "Ruh roh" towards the end of the episode after they find the killer.
** You might notice a certain [[ConanOBrien red hair talkshow host's]] Dwight Eisenhower mug in "The Late Shaft".
** When Castle mentions a gun that shoots ice bullets, he's bringing up a very old trope in murder mystery. Most recently, used in ''Deception Point'', a Dan Brown novel that involves this (at least in the first act).
** In "A Deadly Affair", one of the suspects is called [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander]] [[Series/{{Angel}} Doyle]]. Later, apparently the scriptwriter for Nikki Heat is [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Spike Rosenberg]]. Someone's a JossWhedon fan.
*** Both writer Jose Molina and actor Nathan Fillion, of course, are alums of Buffy (and, more importantly, Firefly). Allusions to these shows were frequent, especially in Season 2 when Molina was writing. 
** BreakingBad gets a shout-out in "A Deadly Affair," mentioned as "that cable show" about a high school chemistry teacher cooking meth, thought to be mirrored by the current case. The same episode gets a shoutout to ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'' with Castle in the hall of mirrors in a pistol fight.
** Castle gets to slip in a Double Rainbow reference while grilling Beckett over her lack of belief in psychics in "He's Dead, She's Dead".
** It also makes references to the following famous time-travel works: ''Literature/TheTimeMachine'', ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', and ''Literature/TimeAndAgain''.
** Castle has a custom ringtone for calls from Beckett -- an OminousPipeOrgan; he likes to say "[[ISeeDeadPeople I Hear Dead People]]" whenever it sounds.
** "Anatomy of a Murder" has plenty of pretty blatant {{Shout Out}}s to ''GreysAnatomy.'' It's also the title of a court drama movie starring Jimmy Stewart.
** In "Famous Last Words," the murder victim led a band called [[Literature/AliceInWonderland Blue Pill]]. 
*** The same episode also contains a JerseyShore reference where the names Sammy, Ronnie and Pauly are mentioned by a rather fake-tanned woman with a poof...
** "Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind" was one long [[XFiles The X-Files]] reference, complete with Castle as an AgentMulder referring to Beckett as AgentScully. Castle even whistles the theme tune at the crime scene.
** Two suspects in "Countdown" are named [[Series/TwentyFour Evan Bauer and Jack Cochran]]. In addition to the obvious reference, Robert Cochran and Evan Katz helped write, create, and produce the series.
** "A Slice Of Death" is one looooonnng homage to the noir genre. Even the episode's twist is a direct ShoutOut to ''{{The Usual Suspects}}''. The murderer, a fan of noir, uses frequent references in their nefarious operations. 
** In "Pretty Dead", Beckett recalls that her beauty-pageant-contestant roommate made their apartment into their "own personal Vietnam." Castle responds with [[Film/ApocalypseNow "I love the smell of hairspray in the morning. It smells like... victory."]]
** "Heroes and Villains" is full of {{Shout Out}}s to comic-books including SpiderMan, IronMan, {{Daredevil}}, and {{Deadpool}}, as well as a ''Series/GameOfThrones'' reference. And Creator/WilliamShakespeare.
** In the episode "Eye of the Beholder" there's a thief named Serena Kaye, a reference to Cat Woman aka Selina Kyle.
** "Demons" has Castle pleading with Beckett to say it -- she [[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} "ain't afraid of no ghost"]].
*** [[spoiler: The murderer in "Demons" also played a major demon on Series/{{Supernatural}}...coincidence?]]
** In "Cops and Robbers" the robbers use the aliases [[DoogieHowserMD Dr. Howser]], [[DrQuinnMedicineWoman Dr. Quinn]], [[TheCosbyShow Dr. Huxtable]], and [[{{MASH}} Trapper John]]. There's also a mention of Film/DieHard, [[Series/{{House}} Dr. House]], [[Series/{{Lost}} Dr. Shephard]] (or possibly [[{{Series/GreysAnatomy}} Dr. Shepherd]]), and DrPhil.
** The episode "An Embarrassment of Bitches" guest-stars Hilarie Burton, who played Peyton Sawyer in the show OneTreeHill. The episode title is probably a subtle reference to the aforementioned show, whose initial title was "An Unkindness of Ravens".
** In "The Blue Butterfly", besides the general Noir style, Castle makes an explicit reference at the end, calling the titular Blue Butterfly [[Film/TheMalteseFalcon "the stuff that dreams are made of"]]. This also references the fact that [[spoiler: the butterfly is a fake]].
** In "Once Upon a Crime", an episode about fairy tale-related crime, Beckett asks Esposito to look into a victim's bank account. He responds with, [[ThePrincessBride "As you wish"]].
** From the other direction: sister ABC show "Missing" featured a former CIA agent who became a successful writer of spy thrillers in the episode "Tell Me No Lies". [[http://castletv.net/richard-castle-cameo-in-missing/12782 One of the characters tacks a glance at the back cover, which has a recommendation quote by Richard Castle]]. Apparently, he's a fan.
** The entire episode "Murder, He Wrote" is pretty much an entire ShoutOut to, well, MurderSheWrote.
*** Also takes place at a beach resort with a [[Film/{{Jaws}} Chief Brady and a "shark attack"]] (really just a boat with a neon shark sign). And a lampshaded, "Not to get all [[ScoobyDoo Scooby]], but he would have gotten away with it if not for you, Castle."
** Within the first few minutes of ''The Final Frontier,'' Castle fires off 2 Firefly shoutouts: describing his excitement over a murder "shiny" and listing "that Joss Whedon show" as one of his favorite sci-fi series ever made. In addition, Firefly was cancelled after twelve episodes were aired while Nebula Nine was cancelled after eleven. Captain Max Renard sounds quite similar to Firefly's Captain Mal Reynolds, while Lieutenant Chloe rhymes with Zoe. And then there are the Creavers, the sworn enemy of the Nebula 9 crew, and the horrible things they would do to you (as Esposito describes to a disturbed Ryan) is like a g-rated version of what Reavers would do to you if they ever caught you.
*** As well as the the obvious ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' references, ''Nebula 9'' also appears to be something of a mash-up between various versions of ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaClassic old-school]] ''[[Series/BattlestarGalacticaClassic Battlestar Galactica]]''. Both franchises, accordingly, get name-checks.
*** The episode was directed by STNG alum Jonathan Frakes (who did a cameo) and featured Armin Shimerman (of both Buffy and Star Trek fame), and a variety of other sci fi references. Many behind-the-scenes production staff at Castle got their start with the original BSG or ST. Several recurring characters (Gates and Beckett's therapist, for example) were Star Trek regulars. 
*** Despite several opportunities, the episode even manages to totally ignore Babylon 5, also a Star Trek tradition. 
** "Under The Influence" starts with a younger singer giving an older singer a StealthInsult about her age, which was likely taken from ''{{Series/Nashville}}''.
** "Hunt" references ''{{Film/Taken}}'' (including name-checking LiamNeeson) and ''Literature/CasinoRoyale''.
*** Also {{Missing2012}} by name-checking Ashley Judd.
** "Scared to Death" brings a whole lot of contemporary horror movies into the fore, most notably ''TheRing''. Castle and Beckett visit a suspect in a mental hospital in a scene reminiscent of ''Film/SilenceOfTheLambs''. Castle even calls WesCraven for advice.
** In "the Third Man", there is a close up shot of the "most eligible bachelors". The names of some of the writing staff have been placed under several of the photos. 
* ShowWithinAShow:
** "The Late Shaft" - Bobby Mann Live is a mashup of the Letterman/Leno/O'Brien/Fallon late night TV shows, where the host Bobby Mann (played by Tom Bergeron) is the Victim of the Week

* ShownTheirWork:
** Castle researches the material in his books before he writes them so as to present an accurate depiction of the subject matter. However that doesn't stop him from taking ArtisticLicense with [[HollywoodVoodoo certain subjects]].
*** In "Always Buy Retail", Castle brings in an expert on Voodoo he'd used in his books. She explains that voodoo is a serious religion, and that Castle had sensationalized it with gratuitous sex imagery. 
** In one episode, a killer was said to have been synthesizing [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDX cyclonite (a.k.a. RDX)]] from formaldehyde. While formaldehyde is not a directly used in the synthesis, it is used to manufacture of the reagents used in synthesis. A sort of pre-precursor if you will.
