On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hated the first episode of Bones, but I tried watching again later in the season and started liking it. It's not a show I would worry about missing, but I enjoy it.

Jericho, I don't know, I keep thinking it will turn a corner and become something I really like, but it hasn't yet. I feel obligated to watch it, though, in case it starts being really good.

And I think Aillean is right about House orchestrating the whole thig so he can be sure he's not stepping on Wilson's toes when he makes his move on Cuddy. I didn't put it together whileI was watching, but it makes sense.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am watching Jericho for the first time, and there is a boy on it who looks so familiar. He has dark hair and was just talking about being the "vibe" guy. I am not sure if he is just reminding me of someone I know, but has he been in something else?

The interesting thing about Bones and a potential relationship is that Brennan is generally oblivious--though that mess with Sully has her thinking things a little diffferently--and that there are real, serious differences between Booth and Brennan, ie, religion. Booth is devout and Brennan is baffled by that. He does not appreciate her attempt to analyze his faith from a sociological point of view--especially because she think faith is a failing of logic.

It's almost buddy-cop thing with the male-female dynamic.

No, I don't know the name of the actor (or the character.)

I am so pleased that Stanley is back. When NONE of the promos mentioned him I was going to be pissed off that everyone was all worried about Eric (dead weight) and no word of Stanley (or Heather!)

I loved House. After Wilson yells at House, he leaves and there's the whole "Night, Wilson" "Night, House" thing.

I just can't decide if House is asking Cuddy out because he's interested or if he's playing games.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Even the reruns I've seen of Bones have often made me go "wow are they pushing that ship", so even if it wasn't there in the beginning, it's been there for quite a while.

I, too, called the connection to the brother, what with the behavioral stuff.

I really really really don't want them to go down the House/Cuddy road. I'm okay with them having a history, but I just don't really see it working (well, that and I'm a die hard House/Wilson girl)

Asshats. They want us to all be rooting for Emily/Jake -- see how much better this episode was with zero Emily?

Ooh, the morse code was "One got away," so maybe Heather isn't dead.

Man, took a second to figure out what was being w-n-p'ed. This thread's going to need a playbill....

Wrod.

Also, I'd like to go and sit in Sheryl's corner. I'd love to see more characters of opposite gender that don't, in fact, have or want to sleep together. (I mean, only a corpse wouldn't want to sleep with DB, but you see my point...)
