Interview by DH w/ DB re his new show Bones (there's an Angel question, so I figure it fits in here)
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.
Early ,'Objects In Space'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
RE: Bones
I've read a couple of Kathy Reichs' books on Temperance Brennan. They're pretty good, so hopefully the show will follow suit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not based on the pilot.

Not based on the pilot.
The pilot isn't very good or it doesn't follow the books?

I've heard it stinks worse than circa 1995 rat-eating Angel must have.

What is even happening?
I've heard it stinks worse than circa 1995 rat-eating Angel must have.Well, I'm glad for David. It looks like he'll have a huge, long running hit series on FOX, then.

Well, that's a shame. The books are pretty decent. Not great, but entertaining. Reichs does go on at length on some of the forensics/science stuff that I tend to skim, but the character development is good and Temperance is a likeable, smart lead.

In the previews, DB is looking and sounding mighty smarmy.

It made me realise how much I was taking for granted with The Inside. I mean, we have a woman who has difficulty relating to others, who's had a huge trauma as a kid, and is devoting their life to solving issues relating to death and crime.
But completely uninteresting. Yeah, I bitched about Rebecca's blank affect. This isn't that. This is ... plasticky. The writing's not tight, the suspense non-existent.
Just not good.

Didn't work for Point Pleasant.

Totally. The books have a much more serious tone, IIRC.
Oh, and now seems the time to ask. The Tivo Newsletter seems to believe that Monk is a spinoff of CSI. Can somebody tell me they're craxy before my head explodes?
