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?”
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I hope the mid-show recap for Bones is a short-lived experiment.

I didn't even notice it tonight. I've got to stop doing dishes during the show. But you're right -- I usually see the actors and start watching, only they're not the characters, they're themselves. But in costume on set. Which is jarring and just isn't right.

Ditto. What do they think people might be switching over from? Something on NBC, I guess - they're the only ones with Thursday sitcoms, right?

“Not dead yet!”
Who else loved Sweets at the end of the episode? He killed me!

eh, it was a little too petulant child for me. He could have played it cool and it would have been funny.

Eh, it worked for me. He's had two years of Brennan basically saying he's an idiot for wasting his intellect-- plus, he's still only in his early/mid-twenties. I can't say I blame him, plus he got her right where he knew it would drive her nuts.

Anybody else think that whole turn of the episode was a big plug (i.e. product placement) for Lie To Me? At first I thought it was a diss, but the turnaround at the end made me rethink. Certainly a shoutout, at least.

Not really. If you didn't know about Lie to Me, I don't think you would have picked up on it. Now, if they do a crossover . . .
