Nathan Fillion likes Indiana Jones a lot

Remember when Nathan Fillion did that Indiana Jones-esque scenen in season 2 of Castle? Well it seems he (and the audience) liked that a lot. In the third season of the crime show Castle the protagonist Richard Castle does talk a lot about the Ark of the Covenant.

episode „Setup“ (season 3, episode 16):

CASTLE
Which it is. What do you think's in there?

BECKETT
I don't know. Might be empty like Al Capone's vault.

CASTLE
Oh, no. Think of all the amazing things that are found in storage units at times like this. (fake German accent) Ark of the Covenant, Dr. Jones.

[Castle strikes a pose and Beckett lifts the door. A single small crate is at the back.]

CASTLE (cont'd)
Well, the Ark of the Covenant was in a crate.

Ooh, what's in the crate?

episode „To Love and Die in L.A.“ (season 3, episode 22):

[INT. CASTLE'S SUITE - MORNING]
CASTLE
Wow. Somebody's up early.
BECKETT
Hey.
CASTLE
What? Did you pack a murder board?
BECKETT
Concierge. Called down, and then ten minutes later, voilà.
CASTLE
Ah, Maurice is amazing, isn't he? I bet if I ordered the Ark of the Covenant, he'd come through.
BECKETT
Wouldn't you be afraid to open it?
CASTLE
No. It only melts Nazis.

And now let's order that Ark of the Covenant...

The fans of both Richard Castle and Indiana Jones seem to have fun with all the references. Here is an hilarious fan trailer for Castle with an Indy touch: "Indiana Castle"

 Throw me the idol, I throw you the vacuum cup...

Now for season 4 they should give Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) some Marion Ravenwood scenes :-)
