On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Is HtGAWM gonna be discussed here?

It doesn't seem to be any more of a procedural than Scandal is, which usually gets discussed in Natter, right?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The pilot gave a roadmap of the full season, I think. Almost everyone seems fairly unlikable. I am not sure about it, but it is making me think more than most other premieres.

I don't know what I think about it either. I don't like the "3 months earlier" device, although I am curious how they get to that point. And there were some really weird moments that I'm not sure I want to make sense of.

It does seem more of a procedural (the way we use the term here) than Scandal is, to me, although it's hard to tell from just one episode.

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

Anyone read the Nikki Heat books? The latest one has a bit of an unexpected gut punch in the acknowledgements, in that they aren't written by "Richard Castle."

I've been asking myself in recent years why I'm still watching BONES. Saw the season premiere tonight - no other way to put it they fridged Sweets.

The fact that I'm probably still going to watch it because I want some justice for that pisses me off even more. Don't ask me why I just don't stop watching - I can't seem to do that with shows I've put a lot of years on.

I stopped watching Bones after Brennan and Booth got together, and I stopped watching Castle after Captain Montgomery got fridged. I've got the first three seasons of Castle on DVD and the first two of Bones, so I can rewatch those.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Yeah, I think I'm done with Bones now.
