The guy sold the business to the company that Joe had been working for originally - so, effectively, there is only ONE company he could work for in that town.

I love that Grissom has a boxer.

Joe could be a substitute teacher! Yes, if he wanted to be an aerospace engineer, there were 2 places...but did they talk about moving? Something quick he could be doing in the meantime?

I'm just not a Joe fan right now. I don't like huffy.

I missed some of CSI. I'm pretty sure I caught a promo intimating that we'd find out (via Burroughs?) more about Sara and Grissom. Did we? I saw the phone call at the end; was that what they were talking about?

Joe would be a good substitute teacher! I don't think they ever talked about that possibility. He talked about having to move to find work but Alison nixed the idea.

Does anyone know when/if new Bones starts?

A week from tomorrow.

Did you guys notice that last week on Without a Trace the baddies were played by Nick Wechsler and Henry Thomas? Thus linking Roswell and et.

Monk related: Stanley Kamel (Dr. Kroger) has died.

Oh wow. I was just thinking recently how much depth and interest there was to that character that I hadn't noticed in the early days.

[link] Ausiello has some info about what happened re the photo in CSI.

Question: What happened to Catherine finding the picture of Grissom and Sara that was teased all week? That scene sure wasn't in the CSI I watched on Thursday! — Kathy Ausiello: Good question — let's ask exec producer Carol Mendelsohn. "The scene where Catherine finds Sara's picture on Grissom's fridge is really fun. But the paradox of writing a procedural is that sometimes even our favorite scenes (scenes that show the personal lives of our CSIs) aren't required by the narrative. We wrote the scene because, like Catherine, we're dying to snoop around Grissom and Sara's relationship. But at the end of the day, crime-solving trumped romance. The scene drove our hearts, but not our investigation." However, Mendelsohn tells me that she was "so charmed by the scene" that she went and posted it on the Internets! Even better, here's the link!

Question: OMG, was Grissom talking to Sara on the phone at the end of Thursday's episode? Is Jorja coming back to the show next season?— Shannen Ausiello: I'll let Mendelsohn tackle the first part of that question: "To everyone who's pondered, 'Who is Grissom talking to in the final scene?' — well, her photo was on his fridge." (Look — the screen-grabbed proof!) [link] For an answer to the second part, you'll have to watch my new Ausiello Report vodcast.

New Bones! I'm watching new Bones!
