Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was watching Bones the other evening and - to give you background - there's a Dorothy Parker poem where she says men always bring her one perfect rose (and laments that it's never one perfect limousine). On Bones, Booth brings one perfect fingerprint ... which is duly appreciated.

Is Bones starting tonight? Or next week?

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

Next week, along with a whole bunch of other stuff I watch.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Man, I know other people had negative opinions about the season three finale, but I *loved* it. I thought it was awesome, with the whole double cross and all. I can't wait for season four.

Well, I enjoyed that it was exciting and totally HSQ-tastic. I felt sad about it, but that's fair enough - Doyle, Anya, Tara et al. But I also found it a bit implausible based on my recollection of the key plotline wrt Colby and his chum and their history - the scenes with the two of them absolutely did not gel with the finale, unless I'm misremembering it all. I hope I am misremembering it all, because it felt like wobbly retcon, and that's what irritated me. (That said, next season looks Very Exciting Indeed.)

yes, me too. I am hoping that Colby is a triple agent. Cause I love him and want to have hot sweaty horizontalness with him. Or verticalness, I'm not picky.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, I think he's going to have confessed for an ulterior reason and will be absolved this season.

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

They just reran the episode with the friend and no, it didn't make the finale make any more sense.

The only other explanation I could come up with was that the actor decided to leave and this was their way of writing him out.

I'm so glad SOME shows did reruns this summer. I thoroughly enjoyed Bones and am looking forward to the next season. They'd better rerun next summer, though!

Oh good, I'm glad Medium has moved to Sunday, but it won't until January? Bummer. Sunday night's the best night of the week for getting in bed and watching TV in real time IMHO - it's my "appointment tv." I really like this show. I'm definitely an old bat - I'm sick of shows where oost is The Thing (which means I might really hate Pushing Daisies, the Ultimate All-Oost, All The Time story by the look of it; but we'll see). I enjoy and admire Medium for having a recognizable real relationship. And I love the detail that when Allison and Joe talk in bed, they just talk - they don't reach over and turn on a light. I hate that in a TV show; it's so unrealistic.

NBC has Sunday night football which is why they have nothing on Sunday 'til the Spring.
