I'm just now watching last weeks GA, and I kind of liked the pilot show. The script wasn't great, but I like the characters.

Okay, this week's Six Degrees is also Josh Charleseriffic.

Booth eating sushi the dude they're questioning had made was both funny and kind of callous, which was perhaps the intetion.

yes, hilarious! I wonder if he paid?

I just watched last night's csi. Whoa. Based on the next on's, it looks like Sara is the last miniature killer victim. Of course, that romance couldn't last.

I'm also struck by the fact that the show has been on for _7_ years. I wonder if Peterson is ever going to give up. Around years 5 and 6, it seemed like he was completely over it. (plus he got really plump and morose) Now, he seems back on his game.

Beej, I can only hope. I HATE that character.

and how hot was DB in the black tshirt at the end? THIS HAWT.

Bones: Sometimes, I think this show is designed to just deliver me super-hot Boreanaz every week.

He must have been really working the hot this week because I spent most of the episode thinking that I've been watching him on TV for years now, but he's still really hot.

I'm also in the corner with those who are tired of GA. The show seems to be going in circles and doing stupid stuff with its characters. Like they've lost their sense of direction or something. I actually liked the spin-off much better than the current show.

They have had MUCH better writing this season than last. I was about to give it up and they reeled me right back in. I'm not a fan of every ep, but they've been doing pretty interesting stories this season. I like the miniature killer thread.

Last season's CSI did have one of my alltime favorite eps, the one about the family killed except for the little girl who was taken and left bubble gum pieces behind for the CSIs to find. A great Nick episode!

I can't align this dude with the guy who said, "Don't take me into your plans, we'll work it out." But apparently that was only good for when she actually had firm plans, and not when she was still working out.

I'd forgotten about that exchange. Nicely put, SA.

I kind of want to go back and watch the minature killer storyline, because it sounds intersting, but I'll probably forget to do so.

Dude, totally. I have been lusting over Boreanaz since I was 12 years old (god, how much does *that* date me?) and I have loved him a long time. But this show is the first time where I've actually thought, now *that* is one fine-lookin' man. There's something about the way he carries himself, and how much better his weight is distributed on this show (not that I was ever in the camp of people overly concerned with Dave's body form), making him look so lean and squarish, with the clothes and the belt buckle that says COCK (heart you, booth, so much) and the visible tats on his wrists--all this and more make him a character that is, like, perfectly designed to ring my bells.

The thing is, when we started out with the Denny aftermath I was on board, because I thought the grief was nicely handed. And, though I'm in the minority camp on this, I thought the ferry wreck triparter was also very well done--had me cheering and crying like a baby at different times. And for the two episodes just after the ferry wreck, I had hope, that they would make it and that Meredith could be happy and have some family.

But stuff like George and Izzie, and the devaluing of his relationship with Callie; making things more difficult for Burke and Cristina than they at all have to be; and everything with Derek, Meredith, and Thatcher right now--all of this is just abusing the characters for no apparent reason. They are obviously not *learning,* and there's no point in using the show as an experiment of relationships if your characters aren't going to learn anything from the pain you are forcing them through. This isn't Crime and Punishment or Stalinist Russia. This is fucking Seattle with a bunch of well-paid doctors in the first world with way too much coffee. There is no reason to put them through all this suffering, narratively.

I'd forgotten about that exchange. Nicely put, SA.

Thank you kindly, Jon.:)
