Hil, yay! Wonderful!
And, OK. I'm gonna fill these hideous paperwork, and hope I'll get that scholarship. Wish me luck, and Paris!
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Aims, I saw an article a little while ago about an 8 year-old kid who saved his 4 year old sister from a kidnapper, and made sure to scratch the guy so he could "collect DNA," which he learned from NCIS. So I think letting kids watch age-inappropriate procedurals is a good thing.

Am I inuring her to the concept of death and creating a serial killer?
You may be setting her up for a career as an ME. Good job security (I assume), but the dinner conversations might not be what you'd like.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Funny you mention the job thing - she totally wants to "put dead people together" like Tempe.
Jessica, that's freaking sweet. Although I'm a bit afraid the Em likes Jack and [insert intern here]'s experiments a little too much. I might have to make the rule that her and Joe are not allowed in the lab unsupervised together anymore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wouldn't let her watch SVU or Criminal Minds, if I were watching a kid, but most of the ick on Bones is how grossly they display the corpse of the week. I guess if that doesn't disturb her, you're okay?

Here's the article: [link]
Once he got his sister free, he wanted some evidence against the man who was trying to take her, so he scratched him to get a piece of his skin.
"It's called DNA and I saw it on 'NCIS' on TV … with my father," he said.

She doesn't seem to be bothered by it. There have been a few eps - mostly ones where the case is about a child - that I don't let her watch. Thank goodness for NetFlix instant and the descriptions for each episode.
And! Watching "Bones" doesn't seem to lead to as much of a meltdown with her if we turn it off as she has when she's watching her shows.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
