Woe to the fucking wicked.

Not just Temporary Thread, NEW Temporary Thread.

And House from last night, which I, for one, found entertaining as Hell. Well, I found the House/Wilson stuff entertaining as Hell.

It's interesting to me that House really seemed to be asking "really?", because I thought he could read Wilson better than that.

In some ways, I'm glad they're doing something with Chase/Cameron, given the meta stuff between the actors, and, at least this way, they've got plausible explanations for any vibe-age.

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

Bones got pulled for tonight, FYI, because of the whole Va Tech thing. It was a rerun though anyway.

Art Crawl!!!

No, it was new -- they pulled the new episode and are running a repeat due to the content of the new episode. (Over at TWOP they're worried due to some stuff - non-A Plot that was supposedly going to happen and will now be all out of order.)

He usually can, but he also genuinely worries that, deep down, Wilson and Cuddy like each other more than they like him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think House went through a bit of the "so, clearly, you couldn't put the poison in the cup in front of me" reasoning in his multiple "Seriously?"s and psyched himself out.

Our wings are not tired.

Woo! House in blackfont! Except I haven't watched yet, but I will.

they pulled the new episode and are running a repeat due to the content of the new episode.

I really hate it when reality looks like fiction. Seriously.

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

Yay new threads!

Speaking of Bones--I've been mainlining all the episodes for the last week and a half, and I am so totally taken with this show. Like, majorly in love. We're talking hearts, flowers, diamonds, the whole works. I'm ready to have its nerdy little babies.

I can't believe that a show about scientists, with humour, actual technical terms (tm), and david boreanaz is a) on fox and b) hasn't gotten cancelled by fox.

Also, the chemistry between ED and DB is hot like burning. My god, I am so in love with this show.

He usually can, but he also genuinely worries that, deep down, Wilson and Cuddy like each other more than they like him.

By the end of the episode, I thought the whole thing was House trying to suss out Wilson's feelings before he made his own move on Cuddy. He gave Wilson the tickets, he sent the flowers to make Wilson think Cuddy was interested, and eventually got the answer he wanted. It was both House-like and adorable.

Also, the chemistry between ED and DB is hot like burning.

Really? I mean, I think they have chemistry, but for a while I thought it could go either way between love and friendship. (But maybe that was just me projecting "Dear God, don't make this into Moonlighting.")

Well, I've never seen Moonlighting. And my perspective is definitely shaped by watching about four eps a day for the last ten days (minus weekends). And I totally see this thread of build-up, from episode 101 to 213 (the one I'm on now) that they'll probably deal with in season three or so.

The short story behind Moonlighting is that they had two great characters with smokin' chemistry, but as soon as they actually became a couple the show went downhill.

I think mainlining like that would definitely change the perception. Oh gee, maybe I'll have to rewatch this summer, twist my arm.
