"Fastforward." As I just posted in George's poll, I liked this
episode very much. I found the storyline with Keiko and Bryce
touching, and Keiko herself is charmingly spunky.
"Bones." "What did he say to you?" "Nothing." Yeah, keep telling
yourselves that, kids. How much longer can Bones and Booth keep
avoiding their feelings? Anyway, a funny and poignant appearance
by Ralph Waite. Oh yeah, and there was a murder mystery, too.
"CSI." The main story was so-so. I really liked the ending, with
everyone having fun together. And I continue to be grateful that
the writers are keeping Sara in non-whiny mode.

Having Christianity as a criterion for marrying well may not make you
a zealot, but it does make you religious.

I'm not sure he got 'lost' anyway. He went to a friends, was told the
guy died weeks before and nobody told him, and ended up in the park,
where the officer thought he was confused, but hell, that could happen
to a lot of people; he might well have found his own way home after
being given time to grieve a bit. And he either knew Angel's number or
carries a cell or an emergency contact card or something, as the officer
was able to find Angel easily.

The fire was the bad thing; that and him denying repsonsibility for it.

Stargate Universe SGU: It puts the "U" in "SUCKS"!
It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,
fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.
Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!

Oh, right. I was already assuming that anyway, so I didn't think it
was much of a "shocking reveal". Just because she was wearing the
t-shirt with the restaurant logo on it doesn't mean they're actually
in the restaurant! You know, like Hard Rock Cafe tees.
