My Favorite Scene, So Far, of the Fall Season

It's Pajibically Delicious / Dustin Rowles

Trade News | September 24, 2009 | Comments (18)

I’m not going to offer up another review of “Castle,” this season — I reviewed it twice last year. Once after the pilot, giving it a middling review, and again, after watching the entire season and noting that it’s actually pretty decent light entertainment, and hills of beans better than most cop procedurals, thanks largely to Nathon Fillion, who finally landed a show that made it to a second season. Congrats, Mr. Fillion.

However, I did want to bring to your attention my favorite scene of the 2009 Fall Season, so far, if only because it felt so magically Pajiba-like, hitting on a few of the site’s touchstones (and two of the Most Bangables) in about 10 seconds.

I’m probably overreacting, but damnit: I was very fond of the scene and felt compelled to share.

Here it is:

I found myself repeating this exact scene to a friend, and this is why I heart Pajiba: it's like coming home. Well, it would be like coming home, if my home was a supremely magical place filled with aptly placed Heigl bashing, loads of snark and people with good taste, instead of just southern Louisiana. Yowza.

I was actually watching that on Monday, and when they had that exchange, my mind just went " PAJIBA!!!1!"

Sorry to burst the pajiba circle-jerk some of you are having guys, but snark pretty rife throughout the geeky parts of the internet (i.e damn near everywhere) and the 'Hollywood is out of ideas.' meme you'll find close to everywhere on the web as well.

I don't think there's another actor ever who can say "wee triangle" half as beautifully as Nathan Fillion does. Maybe I'll even watch this show.

Though that would mean either reconnecting my cable TV or stealing it outright from Bittorrent. Hmm...

It's because it's Fillion that it's so brilliant. It's a funny line, but he sells it - he can sell just about anything, honestly.

True story: Fillion went to Iran and convinced Ahmadinejad that he was actually Jewish.. and gay. FOR FILLION.

He's that good.

Or, Ashlie, it would be like coming home if home was a place where the only thing keeping everyone from having sex with each other was the fact that no one ever actually sees anyone else.

Fire up the Tank... it's Pajibacon Time.
Coryo, Ashlie, I'll pick you two up first and then swing by for... well, hell, everyone.

Quick response on that one, Spender. We strike a nerve?

Posted by: coryo at September 24, 2009 7:13 PM

No. He's just a Pajislut.

I wish I were a guy just so I could be convinced to be gay for FILLION. As it is, I am resigned to just profess my love in a simply heterosexual way.

Like Ashlie I apparently felt compelled to mention this to all of my friends whom I felt would appreciate such a comment. The problem being that none of them follow movie news enough to find it as funny as I did. Castle may not be the best show currently on television, but that doesn't mean that every so often it can't get something right- and even sneak it on to network television. Besides, who wouldn't want to see Ryan Reynolds as a triangle? I bet he'd have fun with it.

Was that a 'Green Latern was gonna go to Fillion but went to Reynolds' instead in-joke? Or am I mixing up my comic-to-movie trivia?

I've come to realize that every time I look at this on the main page, "Pajibically" sounds less like "magically" and more like "diabolically".

Which is really kind of perfect, in a way.

I can't understand what he's saying!! it's too fast! and it's too noisy here at work!! urg. I see hands waving in triangles and the lady from the Tylenol commercials (nice hair, btw) and and and *cry* i wanna go home...

Neodiogenes, you don't need cable or bittorrent. You can watch the show on Hulu in the US or on watch-series.com outside the US.

I, too, thought of the Paj and you, Dustin. :)

Posted by: Sarah C at September 26, 2009 11:11 PM

The fact that the scene had Fillion, a mention of Hollywood running out of ideas, and a positive mention Ryan Reynolds all made me think of Pajiba.
