Check out AJ Cook's twitter (@ajcookofficial) for a snarky response to the latest development.

Can anyone c&p for the non-twitterers?

How does a recruit who runs the obstacle course in her spare time and got a concussion in hand to hand combat not be able to handle an unsub that she knows is dangerous?

She's athletic, sure. But basically an admin at the start. That much didn't bother me. But it was stupid, and took her a long time to twig to what was going on.

If she actually joins the BAU (and after Hotch's way over the top "this doesn't mean you're joining the BAU" schtick @@) I will be displeased.

But man, I do love her hair.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Anyone know if they're doing THE EXPENDABLES the sequel? I'm apparently PERFECT for that.

SSA Aaron Hotchner is such a stickler for the rules and regulations, except when he's not.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I found Seaver kind of one-dimensional, nothing she said or did made me want to know her better . But I am also super annoyed with tonight's Bones, so maybe I am just grumpy.

I don't think she was Mary Sue at all. She had a special and tormented past, but she didn't twig onto what was happening all that super fast, she wasn't a closet ninja.

Yeah, after all that, she didn't even give them anything to work with. The pet thing didn't get them anywhere, it was Garcia who twigged to the tech background.

-t, what bothered you about Bones?

I watched it in the background, not paying much mind, and kept thinking that this episode was way more cerebral than they've ever attempted and it didn't quite work out.

The last scene with B&B was fairly sugary but it did strike me as plausible.

It was plausible because of Booth's reactions. He clearly didn't want to hurt Tempe, but he wasn't going to sugarcoat the truth either. He loves Hannah and more importantly, she's not a consolation prize and that is as real a relationship exchange as I've seen on any show in a long, long time.

Art Crawl!!!

I almost thought that Micah was a figment of Bones' imagination.

I did, too, sumi-- I was waiting for the whole thing to wind up being some Wizard of Oz scenario and was already prepared to throw things at the screen.

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

I don't regularly watch Bones, and I'm not a big Brennan fan, but she seemed really unhinged this week. I'm glad they showed the picture of the victim at the end, but the degree to which she was overwhelmed by her associations--that would have really really worried me as a friend, more than the following and the sombre looks she was getting.

Me TOO. I totally expected the dream/knock on the head/traumatic amnesiablahblahblah outcome.

It was weird that they used so much 'supernatural' stuff...in terms of talking to the dead woman, seeing Tempe's picture where it didn't exist, etc. etc. but then to end on a totally rational, real-world conclusion.
