Bones, Who, Alias, Invasion - One Could Make An Interesting Sentence Out of Those Words

[asta77]

Busy and exhausting week and I’ll spare you all my venting about work and, specifically, my #$!*^&@^ boss. ;) Anyway, I missed the opportunity to wish dkellergrl and roquelaure (another survivor of The Board ;) a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! . I hope both you lovely ladies had wonderful days. 

Now to catch up on TV viewing…

I usually don’t talk about Bones, but since Cathyteach2

Re Doctor Who - those creatures wield the knitting needles that make the fabric of the universe. I know all about them having read Dead Romance, a spin-off of a spin-off of Doctor Who. My first image of them was this one and so when I saw them on tv I went "Ooooh! I know exactly what those are and what they do and everything! And how appropriate that they turn up here!" I thoroughly recommend the book too. There's a review on the UK listing that explains where the New Adventures series comes from if it helps.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting.

Thank you so much for the recap, Mary! You are the best! Now I don't feel so bad for having missed it. So, the Hodge and Angela thing was continued this week, huh? Weirdness. And I guess I'm just as glad that I missed the child-dying-episode. You know me, I'm just a big puddle of mush when it comes to that kind of thing.

As for Dr. Who, as I mentioned in my LJ, I was weepy when the dad died (again) but then it is that time of the month and maybe the hormones were talking, LOL!

I didn't watch 'Bones' until last night and when they immediately revealed the plaot was all about this girl's impending death I thought maybe it was a good thing this was the episode you missed.

The Hodge and Angela thing was pretty much contained to one scene. Angela is talking to he and Bones and getting emotional thinking about everything Amy is going to miss out on. She leaves the room and Bones starts to get up to go after her and Hodges says he'll take care of it. As they are talking he has that infatuated look on hsi face that he now seems to have whenever he's in a room with her and he gives her the idea about the Virtual Louvre.

I was sad when the Rose's dad died because she got this brief opportunity to know him and then had to watch him die (again) knowing that there would be no third chance. It's just that given the perils of time travel I still have a hard time buying that the Doctor went along with this idea.

Yes, I'm with you on this. He was very cavalier about the whole thing, wasn't he? I mean, you'd think he would at the very least have sat her down and explained the potential horrible badness that could result before just saying, "I can do anything!" and smilingly helping her to alter the universe. But aside from that, I did enjoy the ep. :)

Thanks for the Hodge/Angela analysis... wonder where the writers are going with that...

My main reaction was “WILL!”

I actually shouted that aloud. Will + Ana Espinosa + minimal presence of Rachel Fucking Nichols + ignoring the plot meant that it was a fairly pleasant hour to spend. Seeing Amy Acker and Gina Torres on Alias was a funny fandom collision moment, too.

I actually enjoyed the show for the first time in a long time and it was largely due to ignoring the plot. I really don't know what the hell is going on anymore and am probably better off for it.

Ya know, I forgot that those two worked together before! Then again, I do try to forget about season 4 of 'Angel'.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I'm having a fabulous birthday weekend.
