Last night's H50: I really liked it! I thought it was one of the better eps they've done so far. Not too much McDanno but enough to keep my interest, DDK actually got a few things to do, an interesting, suspenseful crime, and some nice backstory for Danny with Rachel, which Scott Caan really nailed, as usual.

He's this show's big discovery for me--I don't remember seeing him in anything other than Oceans Eleven, and he's the main reason I'm still watching this show.

NCIS was excellent tonight. They did a good job making the actors look younger, and we got some great backstory.

I liked the fight scene on the beach at the end of H50. It was overly flashy, but fun.

NCIS was excellent with the de-aging. I got confused, because I couldn't work out why they looked so weird for a moment, but it was really well done.

I just watched the Bones with the slave ship, but I missed the beginning. Can someone tell me where the slave ship set out from? Why did the slaves all have Western names?

I was iffy on the names as well, and Cam's reaction seemed weird for someone with just the same name as her grandmother.

I think that we were supposed to think that it actually was her grandmother, but she didn't want to talk about it. I think that this was their attempt to be racially sensitive.

Really? huh

I did enjoy the pink stuff on the new bones and watching them try to figure it out.

I think that this was their attempt to be racially sensitive.

I normally choke up like a bitch at anything remotely slave-trade related, and I was heading there with this final moment, and then all the Western names started up, and all I could think was "what? where did these slaves come from? are they relocating US slaves?"

And it totally blew what's usually surefire for me.

Yeah, I didn't say that it was a good attempt.

The Western names totally took me out of the story too.
