I slept until 9am this morning. Wow. (all right, after getting up to feed the cats, I got to sleep until 9). Now to get to all the things that I let slip in the last few days of downward logroll...

Random tv thoughts:

Bones: impressed, but seriously annoyed. As I said elsewhere, Z was, as they pointed out, a weak personality in ways that could be exploited the way it was described (especially after his stint with the military, which had to have left him open to self-questioning). My problem with the ep wasn't that he was twisted in that way, but that it was resolved so quickly (Bones had him dead to logical rights, but once the kool-ade's been drunk, it's damned difficult to cough it back up). They needed another half hour or so, IMO, for it to unwind in a properly believeable way.

House: Damn you, Egan.... *sniffles* Damn it, I hate being emotionally manipulated. Even when I'm complicit, I hate being manipulated. But damn. That was chartorture of the most subdued and effective sort, that last bit between House and Wilson. Ow.

and in much older yet still relevant tv:
"If they can find new ways to kill each other, why can't they find a way to end this damned stupid war?" Amen, Colonel Potter. Amen. Watching the MASH marathon and reunion show this week, I was reminded how very much this series formed me, not only as a thinking, feeling person, but also as a storyteller...

I totally agree about Bones. They needed to explain more of the how and why. It was too quickly neat and tidy.

I loved MASH, the series. Col Potter was a favorite. Of course, the first Alda sidekick was great.

I have been convinced that Zack had Aspergers Syndrome, not a weak mind. His thing was logic and he'd never get involved with a cult that assisted a wacko to eat people. It doesn't make sense. And neither did this stupid episode.

I love House. Even with the disease of the week formula, it's a beautiful thing.
