I do remember something about the name change from the PI, but I don't remember more than that.
re: the delivery girl, Angela's only reaction was to be flattered, which I figured would be the standard reaction of an openminded woman.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have been TiVoing things to watch while DH is away this week. The "Three Stories" House is going to be on and I grabbed it and am totally psyched. One of the best-written hours of TV ever, IMO. Yahoo!
If you had to pick the best House, L&O, Bones (or any of the other shows on this thread), what would you pick?

The last two eps of last season's House. Wilson being so worried about House, then House nearly killing himself trying to save Amber for Wilson--it's good stuff.
re: Bones, the ep where she finds out what happened to her mother--I suck at titles. It's first season. And the second season one where we meet her father, the one where the corrupt FBI director is killed. It's directed by David Duchovny.
Edit: "The Woman in Limbo", the season 1 closer, is about Brennan's Mom. "Judas on a Pole," Ep 13 of Season 2, with Brennan's dad.

“Not dead yet!”
Two episodes in Bones that were absolute standouts for me were ones with Stephen Fry: "The Girl in the Gator" and "The Priest in the Churchyard." In fact, it's in looking at the IMDB listing for the latter that I find evidence that Angela was once sharp as all get out with respect to human nature and relationships.
Dr. Gordon Wyatt: [after Angela tells him he was wrong about Booth and Bones's issue] I stand by my diagnosis.
Angela Montenegro: You stand by the FBI. Your first priority is to get Agents back in the field solving murders. [Wyatt chuckles]
Dr. Gordon Wyatt: Your romanticism is endearing but as the bard says "Lovers and madmen have such seething brains such shaping fantasies that apprehend more than cool reason could comprehend."
Angela Montenegro: He also says "Journeys end in lovers meeting every wise man's son doth know."
That's the show I miss.

Dang, I missed the Bones premiere, but it sounds dreadful, so I'm not sorry on that account. Still, breaking up Angela and Hodges? Tilt!! No!!
What is wrong with TV writers that they can't write actual relationships, only tension and relationships that might happen? It's pretty consistent.
The "Three Stories" House
That is one of the finest hours of TV ever, yes yes. The 2-part House finale was the same format, actually: piecing together what happened in flashbacks cross cutting with analysis in the present. Good stuff.
Some of the Dexter eps are extraordinary. Whitefont for those who haven't seen it, because this a show that's best unspoiled, IMHO, starting with the one where he has an epiphany about addiction after attending an AA meeting, and the next 1 or 2 where he actually lets his guard down and trusts the English chick are amazing. Oh, and the one where he lets down and trusts the shrink as well. There's a fic from Yuletide about Dexter seeing a shrink that's a knock out, just stunning, but I digress.

Have they ever said on House when House and Wilson met? I can't remember if Wilson was around when House was hooked up with Obnoxious Female Lawyer Person or not.

I love the Bones episode that happens just before Christmas, I don't remember if it's the first or second season, when they all get locked into the lab because Hodgins and Zak (Zach? I'm never sure of the spelling) accidentally let loose some sort of airborne contaminent. Families come to visit from the other side of the glass door, and they talk about their holiday celebrations, and make gifts for one another, and other than the ear-piercingly AWFUL rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" played over and over, I just adore that episode. The title has something to do with 'Bomb Shelter.' The One With the Bomb Shelter?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
That's my favorite episode, too, Morgana! I also love the other Xmas one with her dad in prison, but her brother brings the tree just outside the prison so Max & Tempe can see it.
I, as a rule, hate xmas episodes...unless they are done well or against type.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That's the first season, Morgana.

quester, that was Booth and his boy that brought the tree to the prison and hooked it up to the engine to light it up. Wasn't the brother inside with Brennan and Max? (Actually, was the brother an inmate himself at that point?)
Edit: thanks, aurelia. I couldn't remember which season that episode belonged to, but I knew it was early. Angela being impatient with all of them and tapping her foot in that elf shoe makes me laugh every time.
