I have GOT to get out of here.

[icepixie]

I went down to the DMV this morning to renew my license. Before I left, when I was deabting which book to take with me, I went with the fun book (Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin; this is my second time through it) rather than one of the things I could read for class and felt really transgressive. I think I actually may have said to myself, "Tee hee! I'm being so bad!"

A LIFE. I need one, stat.

This week's Bones was anvilicious. Not that this is new.

"Maybe I'm here to get you to tell someone you love them"? Oh, please. I guess we'll be seeing that at some point soon. I'm ready for them to get it out in the open and get it over with.

Did like the ghost. He was funny. Kind of sweet, too. Was surprised at who the Gravedigger turned out to be! I figured it would be the novelist, or they just wouldn't find him again. (Definitely thought it would be a him.) Although, uh, do they have evidence to convict her? Brennan seemed to think they didn't. It does seem like they would have to rely on circumstantial evidence. Maybe there will be a trial episode later this season.

I figured Perotta would be a larger presence. Oh, well. I did like that Sweets had only about five lines, and there was no intern. Woo. All we needed was Zack, and it would've been like old times.

I felt so bad for Hodgins all through this. Ouch.

Did anyone else think the music was especially bombastic this time around?

Awwwwww! Perhaps you need to seek help.

This week's Bones was anvilicious.

And ENDLESS. Booth went through, like, every Action!Escape!Trope ever! Stuck in a box! Trapped in rising water! Now there's C4! And red wires! And explosions! And helicopter rescues! It was exhausting to watch! (And wasn't that watch of his supposed to be an awesome escape tool? Instead of... a flashlight? And what seven-year-old gets his dad a GPS watch?)

"Maybe I'm here to get you to tell someone you love them"? Oh, please.

Wouldn't it suck to come back from the dead, only to be used as a pawn in neverending UST?

Was surprised at who the Gravedigger turned out to be!

Um, when they revealed it, I was all, "Wait, who are you? Have we even seen you before?" And then Brennan walloped her upside the head with a briefcase?? Lots of Tense!Brennan!RARRRRR! this week...

I definitely thought it was the novelist. All that foreshadowing for nothing!

I did like that Sweets had only about five lines

Yes! They were all, "Sweets! Go away!" and I all, "Yaaaaay!"

All we needed was Zack

That is frequently all we needed. WOE.

I felt so bad for Hodgins all through this. Ouch.

Oh Hodgins, I love your manpain!

I think you misspelled "graduate."

YES.

An exceptionally precocious one. Because God forbid any TV kid be average.

And yes to the exhaustion. Ow.

I know I'd be pissed.

Um, when they revealed it, I was all, "Wait, who are you? Have we even seen you before?"

The logic holes have started to make themselves apparent. Did she get put on the case before or after she kidnapped Brennan and Hodgins? Because I got the impression she started doing the killing after she was on the case, but then they seemed to imply she was the new person and the other characters knew the old one...?

Yes! They were all, "Sweets! Go away!" and I all, "Yaaaaay!"

MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN NEXT WEEK???

Maybe I should get a master's degree, to educate my spelling skillz!

Construction paper and cotton balls and glitter WILL NOT CUT IT, Parker!

Uhhhh..... in my own Personal Canon, the novelist did it. I'm gonna have to throw my hands up in the air here.

MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN NEXT WEEK???

MAYBE HE WILL MAGICALLY MORPH BACK INTO STEPHEN FRY???

Sounds good to me.

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

I think it took 14 anvils, tied them all together and THEN dropped them on the fandom this week rather than the usual one or two. I like Perotta. I LOVED Cam telling Sweets to go away. I don't know why he showed up again for them to give over the evidence though.

This.

I don't know why Sweets is ever on this show. I want him off my screen, though.

Winter's Tale is one of my all-time forever favourites. Gah. The narration is breathtaking.

Oh my goodness, yes. It's one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. I remember I was in NYC six or nine months after I read it for the first time, and I was all, "We are GOING to Grand Central Station. I want to see the ceiling."
