I've been noticing it across networks too. Like, Life had the thing with people in trunks, and then I thought I saw a commercial for Without A Trace that involved people in trunks!

Art Crawl!!!
Oh, other theme: cast members from the Riches showing up on Life.
I wonder who we'll see on Friday?

“Not dead yet!”
How long before it shows up on Chuck?
Actually, Bryce was frozen when they brought him back last season.

But he didn't break apart.

“Not dead yet!”
Ew. No. But with any luck, the likelihood that it'll happen again, with the added ew-factor, is hopefully, not high.
Did you see, btw that Bryce is back next week?

Art Crawl!!!
Oh yeah.
(Wasn't he in the last scene ?)

“Not dead yet!”
Yep. Right behind Sarah as she opened the door.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I also really liked the episode
There were just far too many quibbles I had with this particular ep.
For me, Life is very much not a show that I watch for the procedure, but for the characters.
This, and they all felt so off. I learned quickly that the procedures were the weakest part of the show, but I didn't care, because I like how they were there strictly to illuminate the characters. I also watch for the mood and the pacing, and I'm not seeing that. For now I'm blaming that on the pairing with Heroes, but this ep makes my dislike for the uber-sexed "Dig a Hole" seem like undying affection. There seemed to be too many dumb, cheap laughs, which is not why I watch the show. Case in point, we get dropped a rather pivotal scene between Dani and her father that gets no build-up, and is followed up by a cringe-inducing sitcom scene with Dani's hair stuck in the door.
I'm still hopeful, though.

I love Bones. Angela's question about "Are you just pretending to be a jerk?" to Booth raises the question about what he truly does believe and how much he keeps to himself because he knows that personal beliefs and work don't mix.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I think Booth was being a bit of a jerk as his job and at the same time someone who is perplexed by the vagaries of language and what's acceptable usage when refering to a transgendered individual. It's not something I would think the average person ever spends time thinking about.
Booth seemed pretty comfortable in the church at the end and he seemed quite taken with the thought of redemption being transformative in a literal sense, not just metaphorical.
