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.

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

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I gave up on Bones. It's been going in a direction I'm not crazy about and when I realized I had no interest in watching the last five eps(which were on the TiVo) I deleted the season pass.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

WRT the Death card: Yeah, I know it means change, but I always think of the one time I got that card when my grandma was ill and I thought "oh no." I mean, I kinda knew she was dying before I did the reading, but still, it was a deeply uncanny moment.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

WRT to the death card, the psychic never said it meant death, she let Angela come to that on her own and then just sat there looking knowingly. Still one would think a woo-woo thinker like Angela would know that it didn't mean death.

But that's not responsible reading.

And she sent Booth off running on the Devil card, which doesn't mean "someone's in deep doo doo" either.

It's just cheap shorthand, using cards with words that have simple negative connotations in the West in the 21st century and tying them to whatever bad thing the writer wants to happen. The world wouldn't collapse from a correct reading--the universe withstood Criminal Minds Low Fi correct interpretation of the Death card.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The world wouldn't collapse from a correct reading--the universe withstood Criminal Minds Low Fi correct interpretation of the Death card.

But they weren't read by Cyndi Lauper, were they? That casting alone made up for a multitude of sins.
