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.
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.
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.
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.
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.:)
