Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Looks like we're safe so far. Hee.

Man, I love Sweets. I thought he was going to be a completely lame throw away character for a little light comedy relief, but he can really bring it sometimes!

And I do heart Fisher. I wish they'd let him stay around.

Yeah, I want to cuddle Sweets too. I did like ... the name escapes me, the British doctor with the redundant name who treated Booth, but I am happy with the inclusion of Sweets in the cast.

Oh, my. I think Fisher has found twu luv!

Ook, a pear of anguish. I've seen stuff like that on the History Channel. Really doesn't bear thinking of.

Well, if you ever want see one of those medieval jawbreakers demonstrated in a movie, just rent MOTHER OF TEARS. They show that one during the opening mayhem sequence. Excruciatingly nasty, and, yet, still not the worst thing in that scene.

Ah, I think just seeing it on that bare skull was enough and any extraneous mayhem caused by other devices are free to keep themselves off my viewing screen.

Marisa Coughlan. I don't recognize her from anything I watch, but IMDb says she's been quite busy on TV.

"He's kind of my hero."

This is the Bones I love, odd characters doing fun things. And Sweets puts the entire premise of "Lie to Me" in two sentences.

And the geeks weren't too much figures of fun.
