Wee Chekov on the old CM! Crazy-ass.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wee Chekov on the old CM!
Oh, emm, gee! I was wondering where I was recognising his cute curly ass from. Poor little thing. I always felt so sorry for his character, considering.

Relegated Gus (and Jules, and Lassiter) to useless again, and made Lassiter weirdly reckless. What was with the gunfight in the restaurant and him shooting at a shadow?

Bones is just the last place it came up, but it seems to come up wrong so often (I'm pretty sure Criminal Minds got it right, though)...Tarot 101:
Death card? Doesn't mean death anywhere as much as it means change. Not on Bones, but I'm pretty sure I've seen The Hanged Man used to signify death too. How boring of the Tarot not to actually mean that.

Anybody else have a problem with the way Brennan went all panick-y and "girl"-y when the doc attacked? She's kicked way scarier ass than that guy on previous occasions.
ita - I too automatically say, "...which means change, not Death!" whenever shows pull the Death card for us.

Maybe it's another brain tumor.
Also, when Sweets said that thing about how Booth wasn't in love before the surgery because the brain! scan! said! so! It almost like I could hear the screams of Booth/Brennan shippers howling in fury across the internets.

I'm not even a shipper, but he's been giving her soppy looks from the first season. And they've known--Sweet's known as long as he's been there. Why is he making that point?
Yeah, bound Bones took on Adam Baldwin. This time she went all wobbly in front of an overweight desk jockey with a scalpel, which she pulled out when Booth told her not to, and then they clutched at each other like it was huge, and then she wire short sleeves and no bandage and no wound.

“Not dead yet!”

Yep, I was yelling "rebirth" at the screen. Oy.
then she wore short sleeves and no bandage and no wound.
Thank you-- I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
But you know, it seems almost like tradition for the first few eps of Bones to be more than a little shaky (last year's romp through merry olde England, anyone?) So as usual, I'll stick with it.
And I took the brain scan thing to be just more of a reiteration of what Cam said-- basically, "Be really, really freakin' sure that you really do lurve her because beneath the hard shell, she's really a Special Snowflake."
(I liked how Cam put it better than how Sweets did.)

At this point when I watch the show at all it's for the side characters - Cam, Sweets, Hodgins. Sometimes that's enough to make it through an ep, sometimes not. With the packed Thursday night line up this year, I don't think it'll make the cut very much.
Sad, because I really liked the first couple of seasons.

I still like DB and Booth. I like ED as well, but the inconsistency of Brennan is tiresome and annoying.
