Two Words: Cleopatra's Bed *commence screams*  
Oh. My. Goodness.

BONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, Fox .... THANK YOU to whoever wrote the awesome episode that aired last night. And THANK YOU to the Fox censors for keeping that scene in. And THANK YOU to Michaela Conlin and TJ Thyne for being so damn sexy and making that scene unbelievably hotter than hell.

Just .... THANK YOU!

Other points of what made the episode 2.17, "The Priest in the Churchyard" extremely awesome:

* TJ, TJ, TJ, TJ. Seriously, that man secretes sexy out of every pore. Especially when he's lovin' on Angela.

* Gordon Gordon. Okay, Stephen Fry needs to join the cast as a REGULAR, because he is downright hilarious, and spot on (well ...except for the lies he fed Brennan and Booth about why she didn't sail off into the sunset with Sully).

* The end scene, with Angela calling Gordon Gordon on his hogwash re: Booth and Brennan. YOU GO GIRL!

* Cam's comment, when she came upon Jack and Angela making out in the lab, "do I need to throw cold water on you two?" Are you suggesting a shower scene for TV's hottest couple? Oh yes, please do!

* Brennan and Booth's constant bickering about religion. (I'm with Brennan all the way on the topic, but did she *have* to keep pushing it, when it clearly upset Booth?).

* re: above topic. Brennan's constant questions for the priest(s) and the looks that Booth gave her for every one of them.

*SOME OF MY FAVOURITE QUOTES FROM THE EP:*

"Can't you just live with the fact that if I'm wrong about God I'll burn in Hell?" - Brennan
"That's tempting." - Booth (and the look Zack gives them both)

"I have my own place, Jack. I need my place." - Angela
"I need you." - Jack (ensue screaming from my end...)

"You want to be one with him?" - Dr. "Gordon Gordon" Wyatt
"In a strictly scientific sense!" - Brennan (yeah, *sure* Brennan. "Scientifically" *snort*)


"Dr Wyatt, we need you to do it with her." - Brennan re: Angela. (oh, sweet naive Brennan...)

In conclusion: I wish to ALSO thank Fox, the writers at Bones, and the ENTIRE cast (especially TJ and Michaela) for making me so freaking excitable and "high" that I could not get to sleep until some ungodly hour, because all I could think about was what I had just watched on TV.

Oh, and Crossing Jordan was on last night too, wasn't it? Yeah, kind of hard to focus after the hour of Bones, but ... interesting storyline. Nice to see that Meredith Monroe is slowly making her rounds of the dramas (CSI, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, BONES, and now CJ). Somebody give that girl a steady job already!

EDIT: Emily Deschanel? I think I love you... (as if that's not the coolest hoodie ever!)

Another Fun Meme...  
Okay, guys ... you know the drill! Answer the following Qs in the form of a reply, so can learn all about you *evil laugh*  Thanks to [info]callieach for the original post...


And since I haven't updated in, *like* forEVER! ... here are some random thoughts for the day:

* Jack Hodgins is SO FREAKING CUTE when he smiles, laughs, talks, and does just about anything.

*
(in a singsong voice) *I know what's going to happen on Bones, I know what's going to happen on Bones!* Bad, bad girl - getting her hands dirty in the spoilerdom of Bones.

* I'm writing again! Yippee!!! It hasn't really been all that long since I've done something small, but now I'm inspired to do major things. I'm *so freaking happy* about it, too! And I've got my very first - OFFICIAL Bones fanfic written, proofed, and ready to post to fanfiction.net when my "probation" period is up! Four more hours...

* Crossing Jordan: Pssht! Was it necessary to move it to Wednesdays? Seriously? Like I don't already have ENOUGH to do and to watch on that day? All I can say is that TPTB at NBC are *damn luck* they didn't move it to 7 pm, cuz if I'd had to choose between taping Bones or taping CJ ... well, those of you who know me *know* which choice I'd have done with.

* re: the show I don't watch, and will forever deny watching is ... ready for it? ... Nip/Tuck. After having a run in with Mr. McMahon when he was in Winnipeg years ago, and learning he's a major JERKWAD, I'd never want to watch something he was in. But I have to admit, last year's storyline with The Carver was damn compelling...

TV Land Blah Blah  
This week's television viewing had some definitely high peaks, and some definite lows. Let's start at the beginning (with the low)...

Sunday brought along one of the best, most well-written episodes of Crossing Jordan ever produced in its 6 seasons on air. There have been few that have touched me as deeply as "33 Bullets" did.

My avitar marks a little tribute to
 
The Loss of Det Lu Simmons. Lu arrived as a new character to Crossing Jordan last season (I think) and I immediately hated her guts. She was a "know it all", and when she hooked up with Woody - grrrr - I was not a happy camper at all. When rumours surfaced that the writers would be "killing of a main character" on the show this season, I immediately thought "please, let it be Lu" because I really couldn't stand her. In the premiere this year, she made it her duty to have Jordan thrown in jail for a murder that she couldn't have committed.

But by the second episode of the new season, I had fallen for Lu. She seemed to be a totally different person - friendly, outgoing, and even a little naughty (Jordan-naughty). The friendship between her and Jordan seemed to be building, and it was good! They worked well together and it was nice to see Jordan with another female in the field.

BUT alas ... this past Sunday came, the third new episode, and of course ... Lu had to go. *Sniffle*. Tears have been shed for the episode, for the awesome acting done by Jill Hennessy, Leslie Bibb, and Jerry O'Connell. I cried when:

- Jordan was shouting at Lu to argue with her, dammit!
- Lu said, "I feel ... calm"
- Jordan, after trying unsuccessfully to keep Lu's heart going, whispered, "I'm sorry, hon"

I get a little misty just *thinking* about the episode right now ... it was amazing, and moving and ... sigh. Mustn't dwell...

A Lu Tribute:

               

AND THEN ...

On Wednesday, I was rewarded with the LONG AWAITED new Bones episode. But since I've recently started a continuing education course that had to be on Wednesdays ... I had to wait until Thursday night to watch the episode.

Still ... it was amazing too! Brennan's arch-enemy Howard Epps found his way out of prison, and was on the loose - making each of Brennan's close friends his personal targets. Poor Cam (and yes, I said "poor Cam". After losing Lu this week, I've decided to start enjoying Cam just in case the writers of Bones are chatting with the writers of CJ and get some ideas) ... with her inhaled plaster dust, and Angela with the heart, and AWWWW ... Hodgie saying "if Epps comes near Angela, I'll KILL HIM".

And
oh my word ... when Zach and Booth end up with the bomb planted in Caroline's ... shudder .... body, and the news report that follows the blast states that "Zach Addy died at the scene" ... oh my word (again) ... I nearly passed right out. After losing Lu, I couldn't believe that ANOTHER character was gone. Thankfully ... it turned out to be a story the FBI had planted, and Zach was okay (big sigh of relief). I really don't think my brain, or heart could have taken another television-related death.

So that was my excitement for the week ... television. I also had a new House to look forward to (with an unusually nice mix of sarcastic House and serious House) as well. Ah House ...

While I'm here, and on the topic ... I though I'd share some of my most favourite websites pertaining to these lovely shows ...

My most absolute favourite-check-it-daily one... *drumroll*

SEARCHING BONES - It's seriously your "one stop for all the most current Bones info". Lynn, who runs the site, has got picture galleries, cast information, character information, and the most prompt episode recaps I've ever seen! Kudos to you, Lynn!

Also,
Conlin Online - the only known fan site dedicated to the awesome actress, Michaela Conlin (Angela Montenegro on Bones)

I think that's about it. There's also Lynn's House Is Right website (same awesome up-to-date stories), and the Crossing Jordan Encyclopedia (a smaller site). Not to mention, the official sites for Bones, Crossing Jordan, and House are all pretty good.

HAPPY TV VIEWING!
