The whole thing did not really hold together for me.

“Not dead yet!”

I think he was just a extra-crunchy mix of craxy. Just everything short-circuiting at once.

He certainly made for an interesting character and I really enjoyed watching O'Loughlin play him-- such a difference from Mick St. John.

ETA: The story did have some holes and jumps that bugged, but I stand by liking how O'Loughlin portrayed the character.

agreed. He did a lot with the schlock that he had.

I guess the bread thing was supposed to symbolise the breakdown of the character, but the fact that he was breaking down didn't really make any sense, I mean we didn't really see the precipitating event. Frankly, the bread thing seemed more real than the milk thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Getting shot isn't enough?

On another tip entirely, CSI:NY was well messed up. I've seen the story of Nazis escaping punishment by living as Jews, but this guy took it another level and raised an Orthodox son. I cannot imagine the stress that son is under, finding out he may not really be Jewish, and that his father was Hitler Youth.

“Not dead yet!”

That was probably one of the best CSIs of any flavor in a long while. And Ed Asner was positively chilling at the end.

I meant him being told that the kid was moving to California.

Whoever wrote this episode of Bones is an Animal House fan. The character blaring through the bullhorn is named Greg Marmalard who was one of the evil frat boys. (Okay, actually, hearing it sans bullhorn, it's Harmalard, but still, close.)

And the dean of students is Vernon Warner (Wormer).

And the episode name is the Beaver in the Otter.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm halfway through House. There are some great lines in this episode.

“Oh, God, not her! She’s the one who got me hooked in with Madoff!”

“The main reason my third wife and I eloped was to avoid House’s bachelor party. Have you ever seen Caligula?”
