"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

HMOG, The Unit. Jonas stepping to the guy who walked up to him on the street, and then after finding out that the guy threatened his wife, dropped him to his knees with the fingertips of one hand. WORLDS OF HAWT.

Vortex, that's a given -- Jonas is just worlds of HAWT. Tall, with a deep, commanding voice that sounds like he could create universes if he wanted to. Protective, macho, principled man. Unlike, say, Mac, or the Colonel (although I do respect him for backing his men). (But I refused to rewatch the episode where he slept with that woman in - Panama, was it? - because it was necessary to his cover as a married man. Uh huh. And she just happened to look like an exotic model.)

But I really wish every damn drama on the air wouldn't feel the need to end every season with at least a dozen plot threads dangling in the air. If I like the show I'll be back again in the fall -- they don't need to leave so many questions unanswered. I likes me some closure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bones: I'm so glad they mentioned the whole buried-alive thing. It's always bugged me that they didn't seem to have any lasting effects from that.

Also, the fabric softener thing was cool, and made me think the writer had recently done some site visit to a real lab where they actually do that, and Booth's reaction was the same as the writer/visitor's.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

But I'm not sure you can really narrow down sushi restaurants by the ones that serve uni. Even in DC.

And none of them had even heard of the existence of ceramic knives?

I'm willing to suspend lots of disbelief.

Art Crawl!!!

Jericho: EVIL CLIFF-HANGER!!!

Also, great to see Heather. I guess the plan is to tie up some loose ends next season. Assuming that they get one.

Cam: Satisfied.

Angela: We were working
Cam: You were working IT.

What is even happening?

Jericho

sumi, I had forgotten it was the season finale, so at the end, I was waiting for the scenes for next week and they never came. Scott said, "What if that was the finale," so we checked for upcoming episodes on TiVo and realized it was. It was a good finale, even though it was an EVIL CLIFF-HANGER!!! But I like finales better when I realize I'm watching a finale, ahead of time.

Also? * They killed Major Dad. Bastards. He was one of my favorite characters. I can't believe they killed him. * It made for good tv, but still.

Well, based on the promos I totally knew that they were going to kill him off.

I was hoping there'd be some cheesy life-saving moment. Seriously, he was one of my favorite characters. I am glad Heather is alive, though. Too bad she didn't notice the flag before she told the Colonel about Jericho and New Bern.
