Must be getting a spin off storm here. It's black as pitch...there goes me and the apple festival. Well I was warned that Saturday is a nightmare at teh fest parking and people wise. I'll hope this burns off. There's a country band I want to hear tonight.

Remembered what I wanted to say from last night. It was a TV rant. Finished watching Bones. The show went from okay to needing to kick serious butt next week if they plan on me watching it. More under the cut. First off, nothing against the show but I hate when the network raves about it being a smash hit after one episode. Cut me a break. It annoys me enough to go look for something else.

And the show is making it easy to turn it off. I was so infuriated before the opening credits rolled I don't know how I made it through. We have a forensic team worker who can't handle blown up bodies. Well you deal with burnt bodies often in forensic anthropology. So my liking for her tanked. There was more that I can't remember now that irritated me before the credits.

I said it las time I'll say it again. calling them squints and Bones is beyond annoying. It's not cute. It's not affectionate. It's like sandpaper on skin. Dear Dr Brennan you work for a government run institute, treating the government like the enemy is getting massively old very fast. WHy are you and your paranoid conspiracy theory team mate even there (My liking for him tanked too)

Does anyone believe she can blow off homeland security like that? At the very least she could be arrested for obstructing an investigation. I'm betting HS has no sense of humor about this kind of thing. And her attacking the HS mole in the friendship league (or whatever it was), okay, note to self when writing a strong female, D.M. do not have her attacking people wily nily, and tromping on their neck in public. It might sound cool but in reality I'm not sure how this woman is outside of a jail cell.

Other annoyances. That damn holograph. Kill it. The other team mate spying on Booth's girlfriend, dear lord are we in junior high? DB maintaining all of Angel's mannerisms right down to the irritated laugh when angry.

Good Points, yes there were a few. Zach, the only character to not quite annoy me yet. The flesh eating beetles, yes something that would be used. Having proper attire in the labratory. In your face CSI, it is possible to do.

a2zmom suggested looking at this as a non-romance ala Moonlighting or Cheers I see her point. My problem. I despised Moonlighting and the Sam/Diane thing got old fast too. I guess I like it done more subtly like Muldur and Scully (well subtle by comparison)

I'm not sure what this show would have to do to keep me watching for long.

Actually, what bothered me most about the last episode of Bomes was that it didn't occur to anyone that it might have been a murder and not a terrorist attack? It certainly occurred to me.

With the exception of "Homicide: Life on the Streets", I never look to closely at investigative techniques on cops shows, least they make me pull my hair out.

i think I look a little too closely. Sigh. I miss Homicide: life on the street
