No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

She's the one Bones scared off by calling their vacation a dry-run at living together, I think.

Angela was the one who kept calling it a dry-run at living together. I think at the time she was really overtly trying to shove Brennan and Booth together, and was doing everything she could to ever-so-sweetly get rid of the girlfriend. Causing relationship anxiety was one of the weapons in her arsenal.

The look on both their faces is too perfect.

And we just cruised past PBS and saw an episode of "Jeeves and Wooster." It's so weird to think, "And he grows up to be House."

OMG, I laughed. And laughed.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Is House a procedural? is it all those procedures?

And - talking about Bones - you'd think that with three CSIs, Bones, etc., on TV people would have learned (aside from what a furry is) not to leave any bodily fluids behind if they kill someone.

Tom Fontana (formerly of Homicide: LOTS) has left the new show The Philanthropist because his vision was too dark for NBC.

Toddson, despite the soapy aspects of House, it's the diagnostic aspect of it that puts it in the procedural category. I think it's about 60/40 diagnostic/soap. Unlike Gray's Anatormy, which is more like 70/30 soap/medical. We don't cotton to the soaps here, that's Minearverse. *g*

Yeah, we can criticize the stupid diagnoses and the Victim of the Week. Plus make much of House/Wilson.

Before I translated the acronym, my first response was, "Yeah, true, dead bodies everywhere."
