Sunday Blessings - Nathan Fillion

Today's edition of Sunday Blessings is devoted to Nathan Fillion, star of ABC's new series Castle. However, no matter how many television series or films he appears in, Fillion will forever be, in my eyes, Captain Tight-Pants. Sigh....I really liked Firefly. The character's actual name, of course, was Mal Reynolds, but the nickname given to him by Kaylee (I believe, but I might be wrong) fits perfectly. Fillion filled out those tight pants nicely, and anyone who watched the episode "Trash" on DVD, also knows he doesn't disappoint when not wearing them. As I mentioned earlier, he's currently on the series Castle, playing the role of a novelist who helps a detective, played by Stana Katic, solve crimes. While Fillion is entertaining, he oozes charisma without really trying, the show itself is only so-so. The series wants to develop a love-hate relationship between the two leads, eventually having them become a couple somewhere down the line. Fillion plays the role of pursuer/aggitator well, but Katic has very little chemistry with him. She's sort of lifeless in the role, and the premise is kind of annoying as it draws out the potential courtship of the characters. The series would be much better if Katic and Fillion just got it on right away. That way the show could explore the repercussions, and depict a love-hate relationship where there is at least sex. Who wouldn't want to see a half-naked Nathan Fillion is bed every week? No one I tell you. Praise Jesus!
