Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

And Zach! How I've missed you, Zach!

Also, Zach and Hodgins first experiment together. Loved!

Is this the character that was a serial killer-in-training?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

there were moments in Sweets' office when i was sure they were constructing that story just to mess with him...creating a convenient "creation story" for Booth's socks/ties/belt buckle dealio and throwing in a nice makeout session for shits and giggles. Then i guess they weren't. Very touching ep, and nice way to deal with the situation. Zach looked very....puffy. Is that actor having medical isues?

I'm wondering if having Bones go so analytical over the relationship, to the point of saying "No, this cannot work out" when Booth is "Yes, it can! I'm the guy who says it can work out!", will upset some of the more love-conquers-all folks. Then there are those who might get turned off by her alleged coldness. I adore her refusal to go against what she believes in order to placate anyone, even Booth or Angela, who are of the "Let's give it a whirl" school.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

He's bipolar. It probably is a side-effect of his meds.

I was underwhelmed by that episode. Nearly everyone was a caricature in the flashbacks which I guess could be chalked up to unreliable narrators, but it grated on me.

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

So, House. Hugh Laurie directed. David Strathairn makes a good guest star. Some amusing comedy bits, but all in all, not a stellar ep, writing-wise. The directing was perfectly serviceable. I guess I'm not done with this show, but it's really not doing much for me except in isolated bits (which, in retrospect, is what it's always been doing, but sometimes there are more bits than others and this kept to many characters apart I like to see interacting).

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

House: I actually thought the pairings of who was stuck with who was interesting because it was unexpected. Though, there wasn't enough Hugh Laurie for me, and I was expecting a bigger reveal from House.
