Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There was one a few weeks ago that I couldn't watch all the way through. Graphic scenes of animal abuse. A guy who ran an exotic animal smuggling ring was killing people who might go to the police by locking them in a cage with a tiger or hyena. And the animal scenes were way more graphic than anything I can remember them using before. I turned it off halfway through.

Also, I really hope that whoever filmed and directed and acted in those scenes got combat pay. I don't care how well trained it is, no way I'm getting in the same room as a hyena.

I saw that one! I felt the same way except I couldn't not watch it. Do you want to know what happened to the tiger?

I keep watching SVU, but I don't know why. For the last couple of years, it's been Elliot angst (Kicked out of the house. Makeup sex. Wife in labor in a car accident in a patently Very Special Episode. Crazy daughter. Crazy mother. Shot.)and Olivia angst (I was almost raped. My mother was raped. My mother was raped. My mother was raped. I have a half-brother by my mother's rapist.)interspersed with unlikely disjointed plot elements.

Meloni loves playing Bad, Crazy cop. I kind of liked watching it too, till the WTF? got all out of hand and stuff. Sometimes I wish they could do it more like H:LOTS. But then, I think that of many programs, up to and including "Hardball"so, YMMV. Bwah...I'm just picturing Matthews saying "This job's got nothing to do with life," Which would be startlingly self-aware of him, actually, but, never mind.

Which is why it will never happen.

Yes. This. Ah, Tweety. I like him, but he is also totally easy to mock. And he should forgive his mother for whatever made him so anxious about Being Manly. That shit ain't seemly.

They're rerunning the Gravedigger episode of Bones. *sniff* Hodgins in love with Angela, Zack in the lab... I miss this Bones.

So, did the former K&R guy set up the kidnapping? Why grab Brennan just then? Cam and Booth both thought it was significant.

The writers have been too good about following up on previous stuff to let this go--I hope.

And maybe Zack will give Sweets permission to tell the others the truth.
