Okay, I did a dumb thing--I watched a random episode of Bones.
Which seems to have been the season finale. Why is this dude so psychic that Booth can't slip Bones a note and ask her to act normal? It's not like she ever acted normal.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't watched Bones in a season and a half. Not since they did that one-year jump.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
with connie. I stopped watching when I couldn't finish that fucked up dream/weirdass season finale a couple of years back.

I think the writers' strike really did in Bones for me. That arc with poor Zack as the villain's minion really needed a few more episodes at the end to properly set the drama. Wretched timing for the showrunners.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think the show still had another year or so in it for me (though I totally agree). After that it just got so twee and I don't know but I can't stand to watch it anymore.
I did stumble across a few first season or two episodes recently and it made me a little nostalgic.

Well "I must turn down this hard-won marriage proposal from my stoic gf for the safety of these strangers around her without bringing her genius mind (that I called out earlier this ep) to bear on this problem" seems...like not much has changed, that's how it seems.

I have the first two seasons of Bones on DVD, and I don't really feel the need for the others. That one where we meed Bones' dad is a wonderful ep. Didn't David Duchovny direct that one?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think my last episode was a season finale. The one that ends with Bones on the lam? My favorite is the first Christmas ep.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Andrea and I just finished the season finale of S2 of Person of Interest.
Yeah, I'm going to have to say the show just veered hard into Boxed Set territory.
