Java, crooked cops set Ted up and busted him for parole violations.

I rewatched part of the Closer this morning. Man, this time the part where I laughed out loud is when Brenda asks Sgt. Gabriel, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" and he says, "Why the Diet Coke?" and the torture demon guys says, "We do what we can" and then Morales just makes this disgusted noise and turns away.

I also love it when Fritz says that what is disturbing him is all the fat jokes and Brenda gets upset with herself and says she's been spending too much time with Flynn and Provenza but what Fritz actually means that it reminds him of another case.

And that significant look Tao gives the others in the camera when he brings Brenda the suspect's file.

The Tribune's Mo Ryan has an excellent look at Life. IIRC, she wasn't a big fan of the show back in season 1, but reading that, it seems to have grown on her.

Life: suh-weeet

I didn't think we'd find out about Charlie's shooter that quickly, or that Charlie would deal with it that quickly, or that the reveal would be so awesomely edited and poetically filmed (Charlie taking his power stance in front of the sun).

Also? the whole bullet thing ... wow.

I know!

Plus - this means we're going to see the Russian again.

Huzzah! Bones is revisiting the Gravedigger storyline. That loose end has been flapping in the breeze for what, 2 seasons now?

It looks like they recast the writer.

My God, I'm ducking anvils already and we're only 15 minutes in. Booth's jungle/combat flashbacks and conversations with the hallucination are going to be excruciating.

I think Bones has jumped the shark. I am not sure I can finish this episode. This is one in a line of bad eps.

I can't figure out what the hallucination is supposed to be. He is actively interacting with Booth. Is this going be all just in his head?
