I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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

Was it just me who wanted Gibbs and Claudia Black's character to go to really dirty places?

EVERY woman since Sofer's character has had better sparkage with him. It's a crime.

That's who that was! Also not just you.

Yeah, I'm actually hoping that she is the one trying to reveal Gibb's secret so that maybe someone will have an excuse to shoot her.

Bones has an uber-creepy tone tonight. I'm expecting something bad to happen.

Indeed. I expect Max to do something he really shouldn't, but only he can under the circumstances. He does value family above all else (and I think he's started to consider Tempy's group as family).

Thankfully, I was wrong. I'm glad they actually found evidence to bust her. However, I'm totally spacing on the episode when they caught the Gravedigger in the first place.

They replayed it tonight on TNT just before the new episode aired. I don't know if someone planned that or if it was totally accidental.

I vaguely remember it being a fairly anti-climatic episode.

Catching the Gravedigger was not nearly as interesting as putting the Gravedigger on trial.

And as soon as I saw Max I said, "Oh, lord, he's going to use his own methods to settle this." I liked Brennan's logic in this. Yes, she has feelings about the things that happen, but she is first and always ruled by logic, and her idea about dropping the charges was a brilliant maneuver to counter the Gravedigger's attempt to disqualify all evidence the Jeffersonian was handling. If she were to go the evil scientist route, she'd be unstoppable, because she's got Max's ruthlessness and the ability to not be swayed by emotion. The beautiful/handsome captive wouldn't get her to spill the entire plan just for the chance of nookie.

Not even a little bit just you.

Your lips to G_d's (or the writers') ears.

EVERY woman since Sofer's character has had better sparkage with him. It's a crime.

But even she's got better chemistry with him than Jenny ever did. I was never so happy for one of the "good guys" to get killed.

Aack! Skimmy unfocussed eyes over the rest of the posts 'cause I fell asleep before I got to watch Bones last night.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

News about next season is leaking out: [link]

It looks like:

  • Jimmy Smits' pilot is back in the running now that Law & Order is canceled.

  • The Rockford Files reboot is DOA.

  • A whole bunch of other cop and lawyer shows have been picked up, but no word on David Tennant's.
