Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

It was true to character though

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.

Life, enjoyed it and I find that I'm more interested in the conspiracy and Crews' psychology and his interactions with the people in his life, but I'm noticing that the MotW are ending with "very special" moments where the character (the husband this week, the little sister last week) suddenly change character, do an about-face, and pretty much thank Crews for giving them the strength to tell the truth. Ugh.

Things I liked lots and lots in no particular order: -Charlie kissing his wife. And she kissed back. The fact that he still loves her kinda surprised me. I had just pegged him as [not so] secretly bitter towards her. (I also loved his response to her "What do you want?")

-The scene with the attornery where they are say everything but.

-The look on his face when Ted was putting up the fence, and Ted finally getting it, and even after the fence-idea is nixed, Crews still looks like he's going to cry.

-How f***ing scary Crews became when he pulled out his own knife.

-New car!

Another weird thing I noticed is that this show (at least this episode in particular) doesn't have buttons to close out a scene. TV's gotten me so trained, so the absence of a witty remark or gesture (I'm looking at you, David Caruso, and I have a feeling Damian Lewis was as well.)

A witty remark or gesture to end the scene, you mean?

I'm just enjoying it and it's not the motw, it is the interactions between Crews and the people in his life. I was thinking in that scene where his attorney shows up at the station that he just spent 15 years surrounded by men and now, 2 out of 3 of the most important people in his life are women.
