That opening scene was hot.

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

I loved that I got to see Michael Ironsides, who may be longer in the tooth but is still sexay...and Scott Cohen on my screen at the same time.
Casting like that reminds me of when radio stations do 'deep cuts', where they go back and showcase the good stuff we may have overlooked.
I'm glad to see those guys working.

I'm watching the Bones pilot. When did Zach lose his personality? I don't remember this level of snarkiness in the few later eps I've seen.
Or am I being insensitive to RL issues?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The writing of the characters on Bones has been way inconsistent. Some actors can probably compensate and/or argue their way to a more consistent character. I suspect he was not in a place mentally to be able to do that. I don't know what Deschanel's excuse is.

Has anyone on this show done it? Neither Bones nor Booth (especially Bones) is particularly consistent. They were finding their footing, and I think they decided to go with more stereotyping for most of their geeks. Only Hodgins gets to be socially ept.

TJ Thyne and Tamara Taylor are the only ones on that show that I'd give much credit to.
I give them all a pass for the first season, but once they've played a character that long they really should take some ownership if there are things in the writing that they question.

Which is the problem I have with how NCIS writes most of its characters, especially DiNozzo. That ep when he posed as a john and fumbled it completely was waaaay off considering his established backstory as a competent and experienced former cop and go-to undercover guy.
