But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

-t, what bothered you about Bones?

I don't know if I can articulate specifically why, but I found the whole over-identifying with the victim story profoundly irritating, especially the way the rest of the team accommodated it. Possibly in character, I don't know, but irritating.

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

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

In all fairness, the suspension was bullshit, and letting Garcia into the system would help themcatch the unsub. And led to the greatest Garcia hacking scene of all time. "have fun getting out of the wormhole" "oh, boy"

I couldn't watch Criminal Minds. To AJ Cook's point it was so offensively similar in appearance a character as to take me right out of the story. After I fumed through a few scenes I had to shut it off.

I don't know if I'll go back.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Because she was a pretty blonde? Would it have changed your opinion if they'd changed her hair or something? I am curious.

Personally, I don't like that they dropped JJ's character but whatever Rebecca Locke's new name is seems to be a different character to me.

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

Her character and JJ's are nothing alike.

I just realized that many of the weird little moments in this latest CM were consequences of the team still not having a full-time liaison - the one guy being miffed that they were doing their own background checks, not getting all the files to start with, even Seaver returning the laptop. It's not a big thing, but it does make me appreciate the writing.

And it's nice to know the writers are on AJ's side, you know? Willing to write in snarky shit about her departure, and show the impact of not having a JJ around.

Fecking network execs and their fecking shit.

Exactly.
