Bones: "Run! Flee!" I guess Hodgins and Angela are going to be living in sin now.

Brennan was getting all sorts of emotional. What a fun show. That preview was next to useless, though. Which only makes sense, I guess.

Yeah, given that they havent' started filming yet!

(But mostly I guess it was to let people know that they're coming back.)

Although then why did he "give" her to be married? Inconsistent.

I know. It would have been better to say "Nobody gives Angela away, I'm just taking a walk" or even for HER to say "I do"

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

do you know if that is the actress' own child?

Are you talking about Kathryn Erbe? She has a 10 year old daughter and a 4 year old son. I don't watch the show, so I can't help you beyond that.

On Bones, it was fun to have a season ending wedding that didn't get all sappy (even though the A story went there).

Earlier I watched the most recent Brothers and Sisters. OMG, that had me absolutely sloppy with the tears.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I sometimes watch CI, and usually watch SVU. I'm almost certain that this week's episode (teenage girl in foster care, turns out she's actually in her late twenties and has been running away and showing up in a new city as a homeless sixteen-year-old, getting back into the foster care system there, then running away again just before her "eighteenth birthday," for years) had the exact same story as one from a few years ago. Different crime leading to the cops finding her (in the old one, I think she'd murdered a teacher who'd recognized her from an old school), but it was the exact same backstory.

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

But I think that was one of the other L&Os. Now they're not only trading guest stars back and forth and ripping off the headlines, they're cannibalizing each other.

Over at TWOP people are talking about rumors that Jericho might show up on TNT. I don't have any idea whether these rumors are based in any sort of reality.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

I keep expecting Kurtwood Smith to show up and call him a dumbass everytime they call him "Foreman".

Kurtwood Smith already showed up this season as the father of Dave Matthews. I don't remember if he had any scenes with Foreman and I think I remember being disappointed he didn't have any with Wilson.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Kurtwood Smith already showed up this season as the father of Dave Matthews.

I'd completely fogotten that. I do remember at the time I was floored because he WASN'T playing a hardass dad for once. I don't think the "Eric Foreman" thing pinged me then for some reason (and I completely missed the DPS reference - D'oh!!!).
