Well, that was cool! Poor Wilson!

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.

I wish that if they had a stalker it could have been somebody else. I don't know - I mean are stalkers overweight? They are mostly obsessive - right? Plus, you could have the issues she had and not be overweight.

I thought that Piano Man guy looks alot like DB too. It was amusing.

I don't want Gormeghan (sp?) to be one of the main guys.

I concur! Though, knee-jerk from the preview (and unspoiled) my first suspect is the New Orleans lawyer.

But don't you know, sumi? Hot guys have to spend an inordinate amount of time fending off the unwanted and frankly pathetic attentions of fat chicks. They don't always turn out to be psychotics (though they have to be at least a little bit fucked in the head to imagine the hot guy isn't simply being polite by hiding his disgust) but even then, it's just kind of icky.

Hmm, I had a different reaction to Bones. I was just coming here to post how much I enjoy the Booth/Bones dynamic. I was really enjoying the singing at the end and I liked that instead of jumping up to get in front of Bones, I was pretty sure he was going to just shoot Pam.

I enjoyed Bones tonight, but I do wish they hadn't pulled out the "fat chick=obsessive stalker because she can't get a guy any other way" bit. I know plenty of skinny chicks who can get pretty stalkery! Although, I liked the way Sweet desconstructed her, it made a lot of sense (whether it was actual psychobabble based on realistic diagnoses and not stuff they jammed together because it sounded good, I don't know, but I hope it was real) and took away a little of the sting.

Yes, the most stalkery woman I know (friend of a friend) is not at all overweight.
