more reasons to love db, or ways 'bones' makes me mad

[carlyinrome]

Thanks, you guys. You're wonderful and I love you. I wish I could say more than that, but right now I just . . . can't.

Happy birthday chiara607!

Bones S1 was on sale for nineteen dollars at Target, so I picked one up. I have insomnia, and I'm not writing, so I had the time to watch the first six episodes.

It's been so long since I've seen any of those and I don't watch the show normally (I wait for DVD), but I got the impression Booth worked with them at least a couple of times. Probably for the reasons you gave, though (so, sadly, I can't add anything new and interesting).

I absolutely adore Angela (well, and Booth, but he's sort of a given).

I haven't really watched the show "normally," either; before getting the DVD's, I'd only seen maybe half the episodes.

Screw new and interesting! I appreciate your input.

Angela FTW, babe. She is too hot awesome.

Re: Booth -- I know. I wonder if I'd like him so well if he wasn't DB . . . but, let's be honest: if it weren't DB, I wouldn't be watching the show.

Angela is incredible hot awesome!

You know, I thought I would either really like it or really hate it (having studied anthropology and spending a summer at the Smithsonian). However, it's just one of those shows that's nice to watch every now and then. I probably wouldn't have watched it without DB, either, even though the premise slightly intrigued me. DB totally sold it.

DB absolutely sold it.

You studied anthropology? That's cool. I took one class for some gen credit and never liked it; it felt kind of creepy to me, like you were spying on people. No offense meant, really. I'm weird like that.

My problem with shows like this is that I am a) too "good" a TV viewer -- I think about how it's made, how the writing/acting/directing works, etc. -- and b) pre-med, so I can see a lot of the flaws and they bother me. I need to do some TV Zen yoga or something so I can watch less-than-stellar TV and just enjoy it for the eye candy.

Oh yeah, Anthro is definitely not for everybody. I think it's an acquired taste, but since I've been people watching since I was young, it wasn't a big step for me. That's funny - I always thought I'm weird like that. ;)

I can definitely see how it would be a hard show for you to watch (with your background). I can't watch anything that deals with primates - my pet peeve is the 'calling-an-ape-a-monkey' thing.

Alas, I think you'll finally have to succumb to the "eye-candy" reason for Bones. It's not too hard - Booth only keeps getting cuter (IMHO).

[carlyinrome]

So calling you "cheshire_ape" would be bad?

*ducks*

Booth only keeps getting cuter (IMHO)

That is a damn fact. *swoons*

[cheshire_monkey]

I guess I could let you get by with it (just don't tell anyone I said so). ;)
