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.

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

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.

I think that it's very Brenda. I mean, you're right, but it's very Brenda.

As an owner of a pink trenchcoat, I say go out there and rock your authority and get the work done. Bringing your cat to work, now that's gonna make them think your attention is split.

But Kitty is DYING. What is she to do?

(Imagining Fritz bringing Kitty to work at the FBI. Why don't we get to see THAT? Or Kitty on a stake-out. Really, they could do so much with that aspect of things.)

I've got an old episode of Cold Case on and somebody just talked about moving "upstate" - but they're in Philadelphia and I don't think I've ever heard rural PA called "upstate". Anyone else?

They could be referring to the Poconos as upstate, as that is north of Philly and pretty rural. But I'm from Western Pennsylvania, so I don't know how the easterners refer to their area.

I have never watched House except an odd episode here or ther, but am now TiVoing all episodes that come one. Via an episode guide, I have figured out that I am getting episodes from both this past season and season one. I've even been able to identify a few eps I caught before I started recording. I vaguely remember watching some eps with House getting a gift from a patient, possibly a young woman - drugs perhaps were involved. ring any bells?
