I finally watched this past Bones. I'm very impressed with this little show. Just when they go all schmoopy Bones-n-Booth troo luv, they have Bones push Booth up to the very edge of what he's willing to do. And if you allow yourself to think that what was presented in the episode with the murder was not necessarily the entire truth--the montage with Max stringing up the Deputy Director etc.--it's a plausable story, that Bones could have done it (whether she's strong enough to haul a body up on that cross is something else).

It falls apart on why she would plant the sharpened pipe in the ashes to implicate her father etc. and Miss Julian should have said, "She's a mystery writer, this is a made-up plot!", but I found it plausible enough to look at the calm faces of Bones and Max as Booth was looking at them and think "In this situation, she could possibly do it."

This reminds me of the character Harriet Vane, also a mystery writer accused of murder, but Harriet was always so horribly, horribly mortified by it all. It will be interesting to see what publicitiy will come out of this and whether there will be calls for Bones to be arrested.

I do like my little show. I wonder if the curled up body is part of that serial killer they were starting to follow at the beginning of the season.

I do like my little show.

I do to. It's not love, but I feel protective of it nonetheless. And I've been seeing affectionate write-ups of it TV Guide (take that for what you will now that fonebone is gone) and in Entertainment Weekly (which is pretty much my pop cult bible these days), which makes me psyched. It may have flown under the radar but been successful enough to keep doing what it's doing.

Though, stupidly, I will probably sitting down to eat at the beginning, which is always a bad idea.

Well, I was right about that.

Also, didn't the Piano Man singer look an awful lot like David Boreanaz? Obviously not him, because he could sing, but...

Okay, if this is going to turn into yet another fat girl stalker story I'm going to lose some of my affection for this show.

Boy, this is pretty watch from the hall.

I've wondered this before, but -- how is Brennan a best-selling author, but no one's heard of her for that?

No one reads procedural mysteries?

In other news, DUDE.

Yep, brenda pretty much sums up where I was sorry this went. The singing didn't bother me at all (mostly because I was impressed with both deliveries), but the stalking stuff was painful going into offensive in the end.

Is this the first time Bones has handled/fired a gun?

And yes, they went There. Oy.

No, she's a trained marksman.
