What do you mean by "call foul"?

I mean it's the "oh by the way these two had sex, but we're only going to let you know now" foul. It's not quite as bad as the X-Files version, but it still feels cheap to me. They didn't earn this from what they've shown.

I haven't watched Bones in ages but I heard about the finale from a friend.

I agree Moonlighting came to an end for reasons other than the two characters having sex, but it keeps getting repeated by journalists and producers as a reason for teevee relationships.

"And it allows us to keep them precisely who they’ve been for the past six years, and yet move them forward without getting into the stuff where you kind of go, “Eww, now they like each other; there’s no point in watching the show.” Nobody really wants that happy domesticity."

From the Ausiello bit linked above. I don't mind some happy domesticity. Where is this idea coming from that happy domesticity is boring or that the people who are H and D have lost their personalities or intelligence in the process?

I hope they get Paget Brewster back in CM. I feel like apologizing for hoping her pilot fails, but she's so good in the core BAU group.

Does anyone else remember reading the really good article in EW way back when (when they did good entertainment journalism and weren't a People mag clone) about how the actors banding together for the last season of Friends so pissed off producers all around Hollywood that, basically, there was a producers pinky-swear to never let it happen again. They would henceforth fire someone preemptively to scare the actors out of sticking together. (I think EWs editorial policy started to go downhill from that point on.)

So I think that's what happened with CM. I wish I were reading that all the actors stuck together and that they are all getting the same monetary deal. Good grief, for all that the producers were whining about Friends at the time, it's still a money making machine for all of them. Idiots.

I'm so relieved that AJ Cook is coming back. CM is now my favorite show. It took, what, 6 years for me to notice it existed!

AJ is coming back? YAY!

So in trying to figure out why Gillian Anderson is trending on Twitter (I love that most of the posts on trending subjects are always "why is _____ trending?") I came across people saying that she should be the new captain on Castle.

I've seen other musings that the new captain would be a woman, which would be interesting (and presuming Beckett will be butting heads with the new captain they might go that direction), but I kind of like the dynamic that Beckett's world is made up of men and Castle's of women.

Holy cow, what an unpleasant episode of CSI.

right?

It wasn't like this season was all that great anyway. I can see myself not watching the show anymore.

I would happily have drifted away at the beginning of this season, but my husband was still interested for some reason.

But the whole episode was pointless, because you knew what had happened. And the character of his poor wife was there just so that she could be tortured and give him manpain.

Bones: Did no one mention that they seem to have borrowed the Liam wig for this episode, or did I miss it?

It was my first thought - but I didn't post it.
