I love watching Tim Roth work. He has that great actor thing, where even though he's not imposing looking in any way, you just can't take your eyes off him even if someone gorgeous and tall is standing right beside him.

Very much so. Because Sunjata's a dreamboat, but my eyes were more on Roth. He doesn't even play a likeable character (not nasty, just not empathetic) and I still can't get enough of him. He's definitely better than the show. Ooh, I should go read the fact-blog about this week's episode.

I'm with you Scrappy. I love Roth's performance.

I'll be honest, after seeing his other work, I didn't think I could be sympathetic to any character he might play on tv. Glad to be wrong.

On a weird, personal note, I would love to have someone like Lightman in my life. Not the manipulative stuff, of course, but the idea of having no pretense would give me a great sense of calm, I think.

I would find being 'seen' in that way more attractive than any muscle. And by that, I do mean porn.

At least they're explaining the weird things from earlier in the season. That's what I like about Bones, they know their own history.

What I liked about it too, was Brennan's absolute certainty that something was wrong. This is, I think, the first time her brilliance has come into play for something that's very personal, rather than a case and I think it gave added urgency to that scene where she pulled him out of the interrogation room.

and I love that what made him go to the hospital was her looking him in the eyes and urging "trust me!"

Everybody in the waiting room was good. Sweets having his mini-meltdown, whoever it was who muttered "So quick".

I love Sweets as a character. One of the best representations of a real therapist I've ever seen on my screen. Makes me so happy.

I've been mulling this Bones. The baby thing isn't entirely out of left field. Brennan went a bit googly over the baby that swallowed the safe deposit key several episodes back--the original "Dancing phalanges!" moment.

Did I read it right, that she decided not to have a baby when Booth said he wanted to be involved? Or was it a "We're having a crisis right now, the baby issue needs to be tabled" thing? I don't blame her for having little faith in emotional bonds. I think she acknowledges the bond between herself and Booth, but she doesn't have faith that it would stick in the long term. As many times as they clash over religion and such, it wouldn't be pleasant.

Though I'm curious to hear Max Brennan's reaction to the idea of Booth knocking up his little girl.

I don't know, though, connie, I think they alluded to that aspect of their relationship during that conversation between Angela and Brennan when Angela pointed out that Seeley was very smart in allowing Brennan to be the smart one in their partnership. That he's good at recognizing what she draws her strength from and kind of gently pointing out that it takes a special kind of strength to do that. And Angela saying that Brennan should reciprocate and let Booth have the thing that he's good at. (It was the ep where she was trying to improve her people/interrogation skills.)

I think it was a big wake-up call for Tempe, maybe not one that she totally believes yet, but it's out there, at least.
