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.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

Since when does Castle start off with a two-parter?
I do love it when Stana Katic gets to be funny. That tongue tied opening scene was fun.
