I'm going to keep my Cuddy thoughts on this episode to myself, lest I come across as pervy.

Oops, guess I blew that cover. Oh well.

Cuddy is really hot. But I think the schoolgirl ensemble did little for her.she looks hotter in what she usually wears.

Bones annoyed me. They can't believe that anyone really thinks Booth is going to die. He's only going to sport some sexy wounds and be attractively battered for a while.

However, on House , they could decide that it would be interesting for House to spend some time in a coma or paralyzed or brain damaged for a while, and I'm putting even money that Amber's a goner. There's some real peril potential over there. (Plus really good Wilson-woobie potential. His girlfriend could die! His long-time man-crush is injured! Good times. I found it interesting that it was Wilson and Cuddy doing the CPR. Were none of the acolytes willing/worthy?)

Bones is entertaining fluff. House is drama.

Bones is entertaining fluff.

While I will agree that, since as far as I know Tim Minear hasn't joined the writing staff, there's about a 99.9% chance that Booth will live, I don't know that I would say that the entire show is fluff. I just think that there's a difference in the kind of characters and the way they're being portrayed. For example, characters on Bones get to be happy for more than five minutes at a time. Bones can be pragmatic without being hateful.

On House, I'm not going to lie, I've had trouble discerning House's motivation for most of this season. Or, rather, where they are trying to take the character. I don't really understand the re-staffing, though his method for choosing new doctors was typical for him. But I think the character notes seem to be scattershot, all over the map and not really getting picked up on. And not just for House, but for Cuddy and Wilson as well. Don't know if that's a side effect of the strike or what.

Of course, YHouseMV.
