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

It's funnier than any procedural needs to be.

Is it funny for the right reasons? Is Brennan supposed to be found absurd? Because I can't like her or get behind her. I can only mock her. Now, if the show were "Bug & Slime Guy (Romances Art Girl)" I'd be there every week. As is, it's getting ditched pretty soon.

Flip flops are the only shoes, sometimes, for tropics.

There are plenty of sorts of sandals, some that go on and off very quickly, that are not flip flops. Some of them don't even make the nasty smacking noise.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

For now, I hold the position that "funny is funny." She's inconsistent but I find her Aspergers funny.

I wonder what Hart Hanson's position is. Probably "ratings are ratings."

She's inconsistent but I find her Aspergers funny.

Can people with Asperger's write the books she...okay, fine, let me let it go. If I had a job I wouldn't even have an opinion. So I'll shut up.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is Hart Hanson still with the show? Or was he just gone for a while to develop something else?

A temporary absence would help explain some of the inconsistencies in Brennan. It seems like she is returning to the more logical/less socially ept character that she started out as.

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

The real reason is that people in flip flops aren't actually barefoot.

Clearly.

I miss my good pair of sandals. They finally died.

Judging from IMDB he didn't go anywhere. He doesn't have any other IMDB credits since Joan of Arcadia ended. I think the inconsistencies are there to serve the plot like variations in Buffy's strength were--but they stand out much more.

Clearly.

You think, and I think, and yet...

They hint. They tease. They are like the lingerie of the footwear world. But they aren't nekkid.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Can people with Asperger's write the books she...

My friend with Asperger's who is studying politics and philosophy at Cambridge would say yes.

Does she write chart topping mysteries with steamy sex? Given how much about people escapes Bones, I really wonder what the people in her books could be like.

I'm assuming the "real" Temperance Brennan, Kathy Reichs, isn't profoundly broken when it comes to common cultural awareness and how people interact and that her books stand a better chance of success. I might put one on hold at the library to see.

Also, silly use of Tarot in tonight's ep, but TV usually does that.
