I hope the mid-show recap for Bones is a short-lived experiment.
yes, I find it very annoying.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

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 . . .

I never watch Lie To Me, so it never occurred to me. And I don't blame Sweets for being peeved. It wasn't long ago that he had his childhood history being dragged out, and now his professional competence is being questioned.
For a change, this wasn't an actual murder, more manslaughter, and if Beaver hand't pulled out the nail he might have survived. I like the fact that the perpertrator doesn't always turn out to be that bad. Heck, this could be called self-defense, since Beaver was in the middle of assaulting her.

Yes, she might even have gotten probation, but the whole "hiding the body and lying about it" thing might be a problem.

Plus the whole "Your girlfriend's engaged to be married to someone else," fiasco.
To paraphrase Bull Durham, "He's been dealing with a lot of shit."

I like him standing up to her. He'll use his insight to help them solve the case but not satisfy her curiosity after she's been so dismissive - good for him.
