I know, Frank! I love this show and this was one awesome episode.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

For the record, this is some of the worst Ally McBeal style trial lawyering I've ever seen. Entertaining, yes. Realistic hell no.

am I the only one who is creeped out that the lyrics over Brennan and her father hugging is "don't you wish you could throw your panties back at them?"

Is it really? Ha! I never listen to song lyrics most of the time, I can never tell what they're saying so it's irrelevant to me.

I couldn't make out the lyrics, but thought the overall sound was a bit trite.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I didn't notice the lyrics, but I love that they made the jury believe that Brennan could be a murderer. Great episode.

I don't know that they so much believed that Brennan could be a murderer, but that someone else could have done it.

It was "pennies" according to CC, not "panties".

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

Yeah, it was pretty bad. When Angela started going on to Brennan about what was "right" as she was being taken from court, I was thinking "They're letting her say this in front of the jury?"
I don't know that they so much believed that Brennan could be a murderer, but that someone else could have done it.
Yup. It was a circumstantial case, so all the defense had to do was find someone else who fit the circumstances to raise a reasonable doubt.
One other nitpick was Brennan mentioning that her dad was facing lethal injection because that's how Maryland carries out the death penalty. Doesn't matter what Maryland does. It was a Federal case.

Just got caught up on the last Bones/House (before tonight's).
Loved the phalanges. Good for Bones for investing in the town.
CSI was kind of jokey, and the burning death was horrifying.
DX, could you please explain the green blood? I thought I understood it the first time they explained it but I didn't retain it.
The blood tidbit I know is that abalone have copper-based blood, so it's blue, and they are all hemophiliacs. (Also that awful people are poaching them by illegally scuba diving to get to them, and the ab populations are crashing. Why don't those people get chomped by great whites instead of 60+year old triathletes! /rant.)
