“Not dead yet!”

ita - I too automatically say, "...which means change, not Death!" whenever shows pull the Death card for us.

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.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

It's starting to fall apart for me. It used to be the ensemble cast was so much fun, but their ranks have been gutted in number and in screen time. I still love DB but Bones herself is getting tiresome.

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

But! She's beautiful and intelligent!

Until she gets herself some violet eyes and a lovely singing voice, it doesn't render her immune from criticism. Unless she has those? In that case I take it all back.

Lovely singing voice...check. Violet eyes...not yet. But HH may yet write them in.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

After Hodgins and Angela had their "King of the Lab" exchange, I just looked sadly at Hodgins and said, "We miss Zach, too." Then I was a little bummed that Hodgins didn't say it.

It was a moment that really seemed to have Zack as the elephant in the room.

In Criminal Minds actor news, MGG just had surgery again on the knee he injured dancing. Let that be a cautionary tale to you kids. If you don't warm up before dancing, you could end up like this. On the other hand, his arms look marvellous.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just got a Criminal Minds book from the library. Will keep you posted.
