"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I am watching a syndicated episode of Bones on TNT. I hadn't realized that Zach had gotten home from Iraq in the same episode that the Gormagon's first victim was found. Also, I miss Zach and really wish they had gone deeper into what happened in Iraq and how it lead to him working for Gormagon.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think we would have gotten that, if the writers' strike hadn't shortened the season.

And least, I choose to believe so.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Oh, I do too. I think they could still give that too us though. The team still doesn't know that Zack didn't kill anyone. I was really hoping they were going to find a way to deal with it this season, and the delve into his motives for what he did do a little deeper, instead of that stupid dream finale.

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

Trust my rage

zach wasntthe guy on the motorcycle, was he? I can't remember what he did. He just discovered that Gormogon was watching the vault through mirrors but I can't figure out if he's working for G yet.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think Zach became the apprentice after the guy on the motorcycle.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm only getting caught up on Bones now, but I have to point out one thing that's bugging the shit out of me re: this show. I've seen probably twenty or so eps so far (since the Memorial Day marathon), and other than the completely awesome prosecutor lady, the only times that they have on fat women is to mock them or make them into the crazy person. There was the mother of Howard Epps, the serial killer, whose BO was so bad when they had her in interrogation that Booth was reeling and Bones explained it as the mold growing in her fat folds, leading anyone watching to assume that all obese people smell bad. Then there was the overweight woman who found the body in the fairground's horror house and was told by Brennan she should lose weight. And last night, we met Fat Pam, the singer's stalker who turned her gaze on Booth.

Is there any woman that they have on other than the prosecutor who is heavy yet normal or at least not urged to diet by Brennan?

Is anyone else watching the new season of The Closer? I had the picky observation that Brenda Lee would look ever so much more authoritative and deserving of respect if she weren't wearing that bright pink trench coat out to crime scenes. She wore it in both episodes so far. I'm glad they've updated her wardrobe but I don't think that coat was a good call.

Kathy, I'm still thinking about your question and trying to come up with examples one way or the other.
