Bones: I really hope not. I love Angela/Hodgins, and her leaving or dying would break him, and this isn't one of those shows that I think would effectively break its characters in interesting ways.

Tonight's GA is the pilot for the spinoff, right?

Yeah. Or, I'm guessing the second of the two hours is.

Yes, tonight is the two-hour pilot for the spin-off.

I wonder if Angela shouldn't tell Hodgins some version of the thing she told the shrink: because I bet he would get that for her it was too soon. (I mean, waiting a week or two and trying again really isn't the answer.)

I'm DebetEsse in this. And yes, I get plenty of annoying in Bones too, hence the periodic defection to Jericho. But I like Bones's pretty better, and I really like Angela and Hodgins. If it could be the Angela and Hodgins show, or really, even the Angela show, with David Boreanaz standing around being pretty, and occasionally tough and/or funny, it would be great for me.

DB is very good at being goofy (remember the Christmas show?)

I don't remember it now, but I agree that he's good with the goofy. Also, with the miserable. Regular stuff, he's ok.

I was happy to note DB was doing the hockey pro-mos on versus.

Go Sabres! (Please do not break my little black hockey puck of a heart, again.)

I like how everytime that Hodgins would go to put his feet up on Booth's desk, Booth would just look at the feet and Hodgins would remove them.

I watched Criminal Minds last night and the opening sequence was amusing. The three women in the unit are out at a bar and two are commenting on how the third, going to the bar to get drinks, has managed to snag a man. She comes back to the table, hands around the drinks and tells them that this is (name) and he's an FBI agent ... and they start grinning. They're all wide-eyed and admiring, asking him what Quantico's like, whether he has to carry a gun, what he does. He smiles and tells them his work is classified. They ask to see his FBI ID and he gives some excuse, at which point one of them pulls out HER FBI ID and says "does it look like this?" and the other two do the same. He sort of sputters and fades off into the crowd.
