I missed the opening of Criminal Minds last night, Toddson. Sounds funny.

Gilmore Girls is over.

Aw, bummer. I totally found this show after the fact (S has watched it for a while, and since it's one of the shows that gets rerun all the time on cable during the day, I'm now pretty much caught up), but I've really enjoyed it, and it's made me laugh lots and lots. I'll be sad to see it go.

Oh, yeah, Angela's fire ritual "marriage".

I get the idea that Angela really despises anything that defines her future, whether it's pleasant or not. She loves the idea that anything and everything could happen to her. I mean, she flashed her tits at the airline counter clerk--that's an intro to a character!

I think she'll run to escape the very attractive "trap" she thinks staying with Hodgins will put her in.

I think it's for the best, honestly, and I've been watching since the beginning. This season in particular has been very rocky, with the Palladinos gone. Not to mention Alexis Bleidel has been pretty public about wanting to move on, leading to conversations at the studio level about continuing the show without the creator AND without the main character...I can't imagine any good would have come of another season.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

We're missing an episode of Bones that was yanked because of Virginia Tech. so the relationship between Angela and Hodgins appears to be moving faster than it should.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, we missed the first proposal.

GA: It was odd hearing the GA cadences from non-GA characters. Also, oddly my cousin had beagles named Pete and Tillie.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Oh, come on -- like Angela kissing Hodges and then turning down his proposal wasn't annoying.

I didn't think it was! I think because we lost last week's episode, we didn't get that same sense of continuity, but I could see that they were making it interesting. And [promo pics spoiler] since I know how it turns out, I'm content to go along for the ride.

Gilmore Girls is over.

Huh. For some reason I'd been thinking this entire season that it had been cancelled (for the end of this season) at the start of the season. So I've been thinking it's the last one the whole time anyway. Easier to let go, anyhow.

Angela kind of laughed and said, "Oh, that took?" and started talking about fire dances and Tahiti, I think it was.) So there may actually be a husband kicking around out there somewhere. Not that Hodgins couldn't afford the lawyers to track him down and divorce him.

No, I think it has less to do with that and more to do with the dude from New Mexico who died while she was staying with him. She would only give him three weeks a year, even though she loved him and he wanted more; for whatever reason she couldn't settle down, which is part of the reason she was hesitant to get into a new serious-type relationship with Jack. So I think some of that reservation is present in her refusals--she wants some kind of certainty that she's making the right choice (where, in her mind, she should have made the right choice years ago with NM dude, but can't because he's dead) which manifests itself in this feeling she's talking about. I have faith that Jack will get it right, though. They're too awesome together.

Watch for Alexis Biedel to bomb playing the world's tiniest hooker next year to "free herself" from her Rory image.

She already played a hooker in Sin City.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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.

see, that would never actually happen in DC. First, no one would be impressed by the guy being the FBI, and there's too much chance that exactly what happened would happen!
