You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Looks like I mean Dr. Camille Saroyan.

You may recognize her from such other Buffista favorites as Walt's mother on Lost and River's teacher in Serenity.

What the others said. Didn't like her at first, because she was in Brennan's face like Poochie, but she got better.

House: So did Wilson--or that terribly bold kidnapper who isn't him--get the pickup off some other electric guitar, or did he--or the terribly bold kidnapper--really take apart what is apparently an incredibly valuable guitar?

And can Hugh Laurie really play the guitar or was that a stunt player--except when he was playing that awful chord at the end?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Wilson dismembered another guitar was my read of it.

Hugh Laurie plays both guitar and piano really quite well.

She replaced the uptight boss guy.

who I loved and missed. I still don't really like her, but her character has a definite place in the show.

Thrive to spite them

I don't really like this Criminal Minds. I like the show, but the case is meh, and the voice overs of Gideon's angst is just meh. And the end was -- that just seems extremely out of character.

And I didn't like the storyline from last season where the head woman is gunning for Hodge's badge.

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

[Bones] The uptight boss guy was fun and it made logical sense for the Jeffersonian to have an anthropologist in that position. But with the direction the show has taken they can make much more use of a forensic specialist. The switch was sudden enough that I did wonder if there were other meta reasons though.

It also allowed for some romantic tension. In the beginning, they tried to play up Booth and Angela, but they figured out that it wouldn't work and stopped trying to make it happen (do you hear that Eureka?)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay. I'll give her a chance. But I'm keeping my eye on her, do you hear me, show?

So what happened with Bones' dad? Why did Zack leave for Iraq? What's the status of Angela & Hodgins? And srsly, yo, did they both totally lose a bunch of weight or something? They seem all...weird and angular and much more generic looking.

So what happened with Bones' dad?

Booth finally found enough evidence to establish that Dad's current alias was the same guy as wanted criminal Max Keenan and arrested him for the murder of the FBI director who was trying to kill Bones and her brother. Dad let himself be arrested because the alternative was disappearing on Bones again.

Why did Zack leave for Iraq?

The government put out a call for forensic anthropologists to go to Iraq for something. Hodgins wanted Zack to be his best man at the wedding--see below--but Zack told him that if he, Zack, were killed in Iraq he didn't want the memories of the wedding tainted with "and then the best man was killed". He told Booth that he figured Booth would understand why he was going because Booth "knew more about honor and duty than anybody I know."

What's the status of Angela & Hodgins? And srsly, yo, did they both totally lose a bunch of weight or something? They seem all...weird and angular and much more generic looking.

Hodgins kept asking Angela to marry him, she kept saying No until Hodgins realized that it didn't matter if they were married so long as they were happy together, and she was so thrilled to have a man who understood her that she said Yes to getting married. Cue several cute scenes about arranging the wedding, including a re-visit with Angela's Dad, the guy from ZZ Top. During the wedding itself, a guy from the State Department shows up to say, "No, you can't get hitched, because she's still legally married to that guy she jumped over a broom with in Fiji."

What? I watched the repeats.
