'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
The book Tempe Brennan is basically nothing like Bones, aside from working in the same field. I don't know what Kathy Reichs is like, but I'm willing to be it's more like book Brennana.
I love Bones, mostly b/c it has Boreanaz all growed up and actually *acting*. It's my carefree fandom, though. I don't think very hard when I watch it, I don't read any fic, I generally don't get annoyed by the stupid shit (which I freely admit exists). One noteable exception was the episode with Booth's "fat" stalker a season or two ago - I had a minor rage blackout over her portrayal.

Random side note - Kathy Reichs was in town last week for our lit festival... I could have seen her speak if I really wanted to. But I didn't really want to and I was in recycler mode, not intellectual talk mode, so I didn't. Otherwise I might have been able to speak to her Aspergerness.
I present this without further comment; just, check out who is responsible for the #1 place-getter. [link]
Marvelous.
Kathy Reichs claims that she sees it as two Brennans-- TV Brennan and Book Brennan. She says she sees TV Brennan as a younger, softer version of Book Brennan.
I gave up on the books awhile ago -- I watch the show as fluff . of course it is silly. I can't defend it but I like it.
Fred, so sorry for you all and Rigatoni. Hope they are able to remedy things.
So I spent 30 minutes this morning thinking it was Saturday.
Unsurprisingly, I'm rather put out that it is not.
Oh, Fred -- good luck to you and Rigatoni.
Health-ma to Rigatoni, Fred Pete.
Poor Rigatoni. I hope he bounces back, FredPete.
my best to you all , FredPete
