Whilst I admire the HSQ of the final episode, it made me sad because (1) I really had grown to like Colby a lot and (2) it didn't seem to actually gel with the previous storyline about the old army buddy. It's a while since I saw the episode, but it smelled strongly of retcon to me

me too, and not just because Colby is my baby. And I want to do dirty, dirty things to him. And then I want to watch David "nurse him back to health"

Yeah, that broke my heart a bit. I did like that at least we got a glimpse of what a mighty OWCH it was, with the tears standing out in David's eyes and all, but - yeah. Not an earned piece of HSQ, imho.

(...perhaps there could be fabulous fic, though? With David and the anger and the proving of self and....but, you know, I just sort of wish canon hadn't done that.)

It was definitely out of the blue but I hope that the repercussions will happen in the new season.

Hmmm, haven't seen any new promos but I haven't been watching CBS either.

I have an unfinished fic with Colby and David in the one with the blackouts where they're watching the station from Lookout Point and couples are making out all around them.

Nice.

....aw, now I'm feeling sad for the characters again.

So, I figured that I hadn't seen any Numb3rs previews because I haven't really been watching CBS but when I searched youtube I also found none. And over at TWOP people are complaining that they haven't seen any either.

What is up with that?

Numb3rs Season 4 promo - spoilery as these things can sometimes be but it is an actual promo.

Unspoiled speculation on the upcoming season of Bones:

They'll need to do the trial for Brennan's Dad. That'll be fun, the father of a highly respected forensic anthropologist and best selling author on trial for a brutal murder. I wonder if they'll put Booth on the stand and if the ubiquitous federal lawyer woman who told Angela and Hodgins to flee will be involved. I wonder if the death penalty would be a factor, that would be some drama.

Yes, that will be way fun. I think it will be sweeps material.

Plus everything coming out about how she wasn't born Temperance Brennan and all. Poor Russ, his parole office won't be pleased. Plus that woman Russ left behind.
