Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Maybe if I had seem the promos it would have bugged less, but as it was it felt like the purple elephant in the corner that no one was talking about.

When Pushing Daisies did that scene that was identical to the dream sequence in Vertigo, that was clearly an homage, not a ripoff, even though they did not refer to the film at all. Sometimes the intention of the writer/director is transparent. Sometimes, not so much.

And, I should think, a matter of the overall tone of the show. The tone of CSI:Blue being Very Different from Pushing Daisies. t /ObviousGal

Anyway, thanks for the info on the promos. At least it was acknowledged somewhere. I was just getting frustrated feeling like, "Why aren't they mentioning it? They can't think we don't recognize it! Or was this written by someone young enough not to know it's been done? But no, that can't be it - even if they hadn't seen Rear Window, Disturbia was just a few years ago..." &etc.

So I'm not crazy. This time.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OK, does Bones take requests? Can someone murder Daisy? Horribly?

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

Hawaii 5 0 preview. I had thought Grace Park was playing DDK's character's wife. Guess not. And guess she gets to be fun.

I'll check it out.

“Not dead yet!”

I'll take one Alex O'Loughlin wrapped in a bow, plz.

And oh my stars and garters, it's gonna be fun to see DDK being a cop.

Compassionately intolerant

I enjoy Bones, and I'm perfectly willing to suspend all manner of disbelief but Badass Billy Gibbs comes to Hodgens to get help getting a car back? Nuh. And Uh.

Only halfway through. Maybe it will make sense later.

I'm liking that Hawaii 5-0 preview--they even gave the theme song a decent plug.
