Where's Narrator? She should be piping up about Angel's ring, any moment, now.

I was in my bunk. (Hey, at least it's a Joss show.) Ah, yes, the search for Angel's Ring. Many a fine post was spent on that search.

I expect Narrator to jump in when y'all get to Go Fish.

Xander. In a Speedo. Wet. Hmmm. Back to my bunk....

The Pack has Xander being dangerous. Always pretty.

Speedo beats pork rinds, anyday.

Xander dangerous. Yum. The Pack was the first time I ever found Xander the least bit attractive. And then - zing!

Dangerous Xander was nummy. Really nummy.

But "freaked-out Mom who hasn't heard from her teenage daughter in months" trumps just about every other excuse for overreaction.

I think that we got hints that Hodges had a crush on Angela before. It's the escalation that's sudden and undefinable.

The sudden onset had me rolling my eyes, but now that they've established it, I'm enjoying it. I think it has potential to contrast nicely with Booth/Brennan's non-involvement.

I actually think "The Witch" is my second-favorite episode of Season 1, after "Prophecy Girl". I think "The Pack" would probably be third.

Yeah, I guess. I love the episode. It's just that Amy's mom never pinged me as a MotW the way, say, even Marcie did. I'm not sure why. But it is a stand-alone (future Amy issues, aside), so I guess in that respect, it is a MotW. Maybe "Teacher's Pet" pings me as sooooo MotW because that's about all the episode has going on (apart from the first instance of Xander being a demon magnet).

Yeah, because it doesn't seem all angsty and Angela was able to get Hodges to focus. "Booth, would you stop talking?"

Yeah, because it doesn't seem all angsty and Angela was able to get Hodges to focus.

Yeah, that was a moment I really liked.

Yep. It was much better in last night's ep.

Teacher's Pet tonight?
