Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Bones: Hubby was saying "I don't believe pony play people are like that, women leading men around and all that."

I proceeded to tell him about the pony show pictures I've seen on the net. He looked both disturbed and impressed with me net-fu. I think he wanted to ask *how* I knew where those pictures are, but he knows I know you folk. Hubby is not so much with the more exotic facets of sexuality. Heck, he gets seriously weirded by slash. And he wonders why I don't let him read my fic.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

OK, Booth's little speech there at the end putting down fetishes? Really annoying.

It was true to character though. I'd find it much more annoying for him to make an out-of-character, PC comment.

Anything non-vanilla when it comes to sex freaks Booth out.

edit: I was in the kitchen dealing with dinner during that speech, what was Brennan's reaction? Eye rolls or more disturbing signs that thinking about sex and Booth are good things?

She agreed with Booth that pony play was crappy sex. She also visibly registered interest when Booth started talking about what was good sex. That more than the speech (which I agree was in character for Booth) was what made me go meh.

She agreed with him -- when he expected her to argue.

I did like her anthropological acceptance of the pony world. It was quite Bones.

I'm still trying to figure out if it was Cobb's money or Sonny's money that Cobb gave her. I'd assumed it was Sonny's at first, but then they implied it was Cobb's, but then wouldn't he have known where it came from?

This had me puzzled as well, but I just took it for really dumb writing. Even if it was Sonny's, the assumption should have been that that money was also marked, and if Sonny wanted his girl to have it, he could have told her where it was somehow, right? Cobb should have known that actually washing the money isn't the same as laundering it nowadays.

It was a good sequence, but I thought he was getting up way too easy after the hits he was taking.

Right? Not even a limp.

And I know I shouldn't laugh, but watching Boulet huff it down the streets just tickled me.

That's one thing I liked about the CSI/Furries episode -- that Grissom was anthropological about it. Kink has never particularily phased Grissom, though.

That's one of Grissom's more endearing qualities.

On Bones, they've established that Booth is Catholic and at least semi-observant. Which goes with the uptight attitude. It is also hilariously the opposite of Angelus.

Well, Angelus was a lapsed Catholic. Very, very lapsed.
