I got about ten minutes into Bones and just gave up. I NEVER do that. Blew my mind.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And given the fact that Pelant was a sick fuck with contingency upon contingency, I would not have been strolling casually out of the building. I would have been hustling out of there and calling the bomb squad, HAZMAT and SWAT.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
We never really came to a firm consensus about Person of Interest, did we?

IMO, I think it is kind of the show's fault. About 80-90% of the show is (has been?) squarely procedural. But then there is the 1-2 eps a year that focus on the computer. We don't even know (really) what the computer *is*, its capabilities, and how that will drive the story.

Yes, I am completely willing to blame the show.

I agree with this, and at the same time, I don't see a problem with talking about the sci-fi elements of the show here, if people want to discuss them. I thought the Root parts of this week's episode were particularly interesting, and also kick ass.
