I kept thinking they had stolen writers from Life, or something. Patrick was so totally Charlie Crews last night.
That is so wierd, because I was thinking that today, mulling over Jane's joy in creating the sandcastle. Here's a guy who has suffered a huge loss, but his day-to-day interactions are ones of joy and playfulnesss. And I realized that it's his Zen. Although maybe more hiding than dealing than Charlie. At night, he's under that sigil, but by day, he's goofing and child-like, like it's his coping mechanism as well as a front to the anguish underneath. But he also openly acknowledges that he's been punished, even if he's vague as to the how, and yet continues to find joy in life, in the simplest ways possible, and that is so very very Charlie Crews. instead of fruit, we have tricks and games and sandcastles.
Also, Simon Baker continues to be hawt.
On House, they said the name of the town where the funeral was was Lexington, right? Which Lexington did they mean? I really can't think of any Lexington within reasonable road-trip distance of Princeton where House's Confederate flag comment would make any sense.
They didn't specify, but I thought Kentucky. Is that 500 miles from Princeton?
Hmm. Looks like about 600 miles. (I've never driven further west from NJ than Bethlehem, and I'd thought Kentucky was further than that.)
If it was Kentucky, than nearly all of that road trip should have been through mountains, but I'm not going to complain too much, since, unlike a certain other show set in New Jersey (Point Pleasant), I've never noticed any palm trees or coastal red rocks in outdoor shots on House.
In my area (the Philadelphia, PA region) they're playing a Bones repeat, the one where a motorcycle racer gets killed.
Well, I was betrayed by the TV station, and they showed sports instead. So I popped in the tape of the episode where Brennan and Booth care for the baby who swallowed the key (after his mother had been immolated).
It's Lexington, Kentucky. The author has an explanation of what's going on at her blog.
Of course it was a Doris Egan episode. I should have known.
Oh! Driving overnight. That makes it make a bit more sense.
