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.

I thought so too, but I watched on tape delay so I assumed someone must have said it before I got here. Ye gods, it was atrocious.

did no one mention that they seem to have borrowed the Liam wig for this episode

that cracked my shit right up. I don't even watch the show anymore and I'm laffing and laffing.

At least this time, it was supposed to be bad.

Oh, Flashpoint. I love your Canadianness.

I just found myself saying out loud that I thought Adrian Monk was considerably less fucked up than Patrick Jane. But now I'm wondering if I'm working on incomplete evidence, as I haven't by any means seen all the available eps of either series.

Based on the evidence (and I think I saw 4 or 5 seasons of Monk), I would agree with you.

Having watched all of both of them, Jane is more fucked up. There's medicine and therapy for what ails Monk. Or even a revelation...an epiphany...moving past the moment of discovering why his wife was killed.

Jane is a psychopath. He's just someone you keep from taking lives. Luckily he's only interested in killing one person.

It occurs to me now the premises of Monk and The Mentalist are more similar than The Mentalist and Psych. Huh.

And! Blam! At least he cried when he did it.

Just watched the finale again.
