Lol that is why you do not drive distracted... you'll run into some guy with a bomb in the back of his truck lol...
Also, Deeks is jealous of Kensi hanging out with Nell haha... I think it's good for them to be hanging out amongst all the testosterone lol! But Deeks may not be so manly - he and Eric are the only 2 who have ever seen Sound of Music!
The guy with the bomb was arrested by the FBI (and the Feebs are being assholes as per usual on this show) so they can't interview him... But it's not all bad news, because.... NATE'S BACK!!!!!! :D So much happiness about this fact haha
I wonder how long it' s been since he's been there... Are he and Deeks well acquainted? Hmmm he's a shrink, i wonder what he would have to say about Deeks and Kensi's partnership... And Deeks's jealousy issues!!!! Oooh that'd be good!!
Yes I'm rambling, the video is frozen -.-
Why does no one ever hug their comrades on this show?? They haven't seen him in ages, and people get shot and recover and no one hugs them!!!
HA Eric and Nell to the rescue lol I love that he tech nerds are the most 'human' lol... God she's tiny... And ooh, hinting at a relationship between Nell and Nate? I think Eric will be getting jealous...
So Callen and Sam trick one of the FBI agents to let them into Gavin, the bomber's house... But then Agent Ambrose shows up and kicked them out.. But Deeks and Kensi show up to the diner where Gavin was arrested, and find his goth-chick girlfriend.
LMAO Eric's going to 'work out' at the gym with rediculous shoes which apparently 'build arch support' hahah i knew it - he's awkward/jealous about Nell and Nate... OOH Nate's a smart one, he noticed that Nell was flirting with him earlier when he first showed up, but not now, when the two of them are alone... So clerly i has something to do with Eric! and she was clearly rying to make Eric jealous!!! OMG!!! So then in an effort to prove him wrong she says 'Okay, Eric? Really? We're taking about Eric? I mean, Eric? Ok I'm gonna stop saying Eric now...' that was hilarious!!
Evidently Deeks says the same thing as I do, he says a word and then 'make that plural. Bikezzzzzzz....' lol cos a bunch of motorcycles came roaring towards the garage where they were waiting, the garage that Gavin had called before he was arrested.
And Hetty calls to say that a radical terrorist group called to take respinsibility for the car bomb - and said there would be more. UH-OH!! (but come on, I saw that coming!)
The FBI dude is a toolbag, he says 'oh Nate, how dare you blah blah you've gone over to the dark side' and Nate goes 'I thought there were no sides' HA love this guy he's so smart but he doesn't take crap - the best combination! Quick plot point - Gavin (the guy whose truck blew up) was an Iraqi war vet - his entire squadron was blown up by an IED. He tells Nate that he doesn't know who put the bomb in the truck - and he gets angry. Then he tells Nate that clearly the FBI has it out for him - and then Ambrose bursts into the room and takes Gavin out. Shocking. It's weird how the FBI are the good guys on Criminal Minds, but annoying on CSI and this show.
Deeks and Kensi (they need a couple name. Densi? Keeks?? I know they're not a couple, but they're a partnership lol) tried to act undercover and bust into the biker garage. I say 'tried' cos they took like 5 steps inside and someone yelled 'Cop! He's a cop!' Deeks chases a guy out the door, turns out he's an 'old friend' lol and he says someone was asking around for a small bomb - which would be used to take out someone specific - not a chemical bomb, like the one in Gavin's truck.
Densi are at the goth chick girlfriend's house, and she plays a 'giant violin' (cello) haha Deeks apparently used to play the violin O.O which makes sense, as apparently he's only 'part Neanderthal' awwe I love him lol
Eric traced the call which had told the FBI the tip about the car bombs - it's a giant abandoned building surrounded by parking lots, which, as Sam says, is the 'perfect place for an ambush'. They see a car siting in the middle of the lot, and as soon as Callen bumps the lock on the gate surrounding the lot, the car EXPLODES - it was really loud and actually made me jump lol and then I went to cover my ears, forgetting that I was wearing headphones. Laugh away.
They figure out that Gavin was not acting alone (which was pretty much a given from the beginning, since that's what the FBI thought, and they're ALWAYS wrong on this show...) and that Mia, the girlfriend, didn't 'exist' until 6 years prior. It was her phone on which the calls were made to the bikers, and she has disappeared since talking to Deeks and Kensi at the diner.
Ok I want to know how tall Nate is, is he massive? Cos compared to him, Nell's like a woodland creature, but - even though she's small - she doesn't seem that tiny compared to anyone, except maybe Sam... Come to think of it, Hetty's smaller lol so nevermind... Anyway they both kick ass, despite their small stature! Maybe I could learn from them :P Nell's now all confused cos she thinks Nate thinks she has feelings for Eric haha...
They track down Mia through her cello repair servicing guy.. Apparently she was actually named Jessica, and they find her parents' house being house-sat and they find out that Mia/Jessica had been dating a Muslim guy who was arrested for terrorism and then murdered while in jail - AND the busboy at the diner where Mia/Jessica worked knew the guy and had changed his identity, too - six years ago. Callen figures they're out for revenge because their friend was murdered. And Ambrose was the one who arrested the Muslim guy.
They go to catch him and - shocking! - he runs away. But it's ok cos Sam and Callen catch him after he takes off. But he won't tell them where Mia is - but Ambrose is her target, so Eric tries to track them.
They realise that Adam, the busboy, had set up Ravi, the Muslim student, and then recruited Mia after Ravi's arrest so that he could use her to get to the FBI. They track Mia and Ambrose to a baseball field and realise that she's there to try to talk Ambrose into releasing Gavin, so she would have wanted some way to record their conversation - and that Adam had put the bomb into her tape recorder.
Lol Sam takes the bomb from her and they go 'Do you know what you're doing?' 'No.' 'Is it safe?' 'No.' 'Do we all need to be here?' 'No.' and Ambrose takes off lol
So Ravi and Gavin were innocent, and Mia isn't in any trouble because she hadn't planted any of the bombs, she was only trying to prove that her friend was innocent.
And it turns out Nell and Kensi had been at the monster truck rally (Nell says very pointedly to Eric 'I don't have any plans tonight. Or any night in the forseeable future. Unless the moster truck rally comes back to town.') and she and Eric walk off together.. Leaving Hetty to get the last word, as always: 'I'm surprised I didn't run into them..'

Glee - 'Big Brother'
After (oh my god how many weeks was that? Five? Six?) TOO LONG, Glee is finally back!!
And Quinn is NOT dead - she's just in a wheelchair. For how long? Nobody knows. But shes insisting that she will dance at Nationals - a statement which made my mother and me snort because of its delusion and melodrama... But it's good to see her looking TOTALLY FINE AND NOT BANGED-UP AT ALL. Good greif, I know everyone on this show wears too much makeup, but c'mon! She was in a car accident for Pete's sake! She should at least have some kind of bruise or scrape...
Anyway, I loved when she and Artie (ironically) did Elton John's 'I'm still Standing'. And there was a funny story about that - until the day before this episode aired, I had never heard that song before in my life. The day before, the music video had been on Video On Trial (another epic show I watch - Canadian, too!) and it was introduced as 'One of the best-ever Elton John songs... With one of the worst-ever Elton John videos.' (You should go watch it, it's rediculously hilarious. And one of the dancers is now a judge on Dancing With the Stars. Also, keep in mind this video was made when people still thought Elton John was straight. Not sure how they believed that after that video, but I digress. Go watch it.) My mother insists that I must have heard that song at some point in my life previously - but unless I was under the age of 5, I would have remembered. I have a mind like a steel trap when it comes to remembering music. My family calls me a walking iTunes.
I loved Blaine's brother. He was hilarious, and brought one of the best-ever recurring jokes on this show ('If you want to be taken seriously, point.') He also looked a lot like Cheyenne Jackson, the guy who played the new Vocal Adrenaline coach - and was also on 30 Rock - and for some reason always plays a Canadian, even though he's American... Blaine and his brother totally ROCKED that mashup of 'Hungry Like the Wolves' & 'Rio' I love Duran Duran! :)
I also loved his performance of 'Fighter' it was really awesome how angry he was - I love when people punch-dance!!
I thought it was so cute how Artie and Quinn are together, especially when he told her 'you can do it. I believe in you' when she was scared of the wheelchair ramp - made me tear up a little! Except I felt so bad for him, because he was being so nice to her, since he's the only one who knows what she's going through, and she's all 'I don't need your help, I AM going to walk again.' Plus, even if she does get better, he's going to feel even worse, cos she has that chance of recovery and he never will.
Another heart-breaking story about this episode - Sue discovers that her baby is a girl, like she hoped, but it will have Down's Syndrome :( That's so sad that she always has to look people with disabilities, but it's such a kind, loving side to her, especially with the scene at the end when she hugs Becky and says 'she's gonna be just like you'.
I actually liked the rendition of 'Somebody I Used to Know' which is funny, cos normally that song makes me cringe and here's why - the video is really weird and creeps me out, cos they're all covered in paint.. It's hard to describe go atch that one too. But anyway, every time I hear the song I picture the video and all its creepiness. But Blaine's version was different enough that I didn't really mind it lol and it is a good song!
Jesus-man (I can never remember his name!) was really nice talking to Quinn, even though she kinda shut him down at first - and is he now in New Directions? That'd be awesome!
We ended on a good note (for me, at least) Finn developed a backbone! And he told Rachel to shove it, cos she keeps trying to run 'their' life according to what she wants, and isn't even considering his happiness, but why would she - she's all he needs to be happy, of course! I hope they break up -.-

The Finder - 'Life After Death'
May I begin by saying that 50 Cent is a better actor than I expected him to be? Of course I can, it's my blog.
50 Cent is a better actor than I expected him to be :P
And Walter dances exactly the way I expected him to XD but it was hilarious! I have friends who dance like that - Of course, they're all white too haha
On a slightly unrelated note: I really hope this show gets renewed for another season, despite having been moved to the Friday night 'death slot'...
Because 1) too many shows are off the air after this season, and I hate when shows only get 1 or 2 seasons to showcase their awesomeness (Accidentally On Purpose, Pushing Daisies, Mad Love anyone???)
2) It's hilarious. Nuff said. and
3) Walter/Geoff Stults is so cute! Lol
I loved the line where they're talking about finding famous dead people and they mention Elvis and Walter says 'Elvis is ____' and gives them an address XD that was beautiful - he really can find anything! (Unless that address is where he was buried, that'd be a little disappointing cos it's public knowledge)
I thought Walter was a little insensitive when he was talking to the dead rapper's family.. But Leo smoothed things over, he's so good with words, no wonder he's a lawyer haha
It was also really stupid that Glade (50's character... wait can I do that? Separate '50' like it's his first name?) was all obsessed with finding this 'stolen' music, because 'each track that's leaked costs me $2 million' uh... No it doesn't, it's not like you're having to pay and losing money, it's just extra money you DON'T get. Which is stupid, cos clearly the guy's a freakin billionaire already. Boo hoo.
And the part about the rapper being killed in a playground was weird... Who expects to find a rapper in a park? For children? Which was also sad - and did anyone else find it slightly morbid that his mother had a picture of that same park where her son was killed hanging in her restaurant??
I loved the experiment he did with Willa - one of the other amazingly unique things about this show, nobody else has massive 'scale models' of things and runs around conducting experiments 'this represents this, that represents that' with random objects!!
And Walter has strage epiphany-causing dreams (which honestly make me think he's on some kind of drug... Or just his brain's messed-up when he's awake, so of course it's going to be even MORE messed-up when he's asleep lol)
So the lawyer's a bad lady and the rapper (who whips out guns at the slightest opportunity, but decides to put it down in this case) is actually a softie? And the dead rapper was accidentally killed by his brother? Who was the real 'brains' behind the fame, because he (at the age of what, like 12?) wrote all the raps?
I gotta say, I didn't really see much of that coming lol. But it was good :)

CSI - 'Split Decisions'
This one was a fascinating concept, especially at first, when this scary fat clown-lady saw a man (whose slot machine she had just taken) get shot, and the entire casino was locked down so they were hunting through the whole place, trying to find the killer.
They find some girl who admits to recognizing the guy from the security footage - she says she had slept with him the night before, and then delivers possibly the funniest line of the entire episode: 'I'm not a slut.' HAHA ok c'mon you met him that night, in the hotel bar? And decided to film yourself having sex with him? Yea suuuure...
Sara interviews the victim's son (the man was a doctor) and it's so sad, his mom had died a few years ago and now his dad's dead too.
Then they found the guy hiding in a closet in a hotel room ... I can't remember his explanation for hiding lol but he says he never met the slut (or not slut...). And, of course, he denies killing the man in the casino. Then they find that his DNA matches the blood from the killer, and I'm hyperventilating at this point, cos i knew - he has a twin!! My sisters are identical twins, so I always consider that possibility when there is conflicting DNA evidence. Not only that, but this first guy has an alibi for the time when the 'non-slut' was being picked up in the bar - they find on the security cameras that he was re-entering the hotel from a baseball game at the same time as his 'clone' can be seen across the hotel at the bar. But he says he wasn't a twin, and his birth records confirm, he was a single baby.
So they figure that the guy who slept with the girl was the killer, and go find him - in bed with 2 other girls. Compared to him, the first girl looks like a nun...
He ALSO denies killing the man, says the 2 women are his alibi... But he's identical to the first guy, and has a different birth record saying he was younger and born in a totally different place from the first guy.
And the antibodies in his blood don't match that of the killer - neither do his brother's.
At this point I made a big *gasp* face cos this was ripped off from an episode of CSI: Miami about four years ago, when these triplets (who knew each other, but hid their existance from everyone else) conspired to kill the one woman's husband. But back to the current episode...
Anyway, they track down the other guy and find him - dead. So case closed, right? Not so much - he was murdered. By the other two? After he did their dirty work? Not so much - more DNA at that crime scene implicates a fourth brother. And at this point I'm thinking 'geez comeon! Was the doctor creating a clone army??' (Because we found out that he had made in-vitro implants into all the mothers of the 3 men - and then they all had crappy lives, so they blamed him for creating them and conspired to kill him).
But no, Archie's facial recognition program scans the entire casino/hotel and finds the fourth brother - who was the doctor's son. I was actually very surprised by this twist ending. I can't remember why he did it, and I really didn't care... He thought his father didn't really love him, only his mother had, and when he found out (after his mother died) that she had been infertile, and that he wasn't even biologically hers, he snapped and found the other 3. But he made one mistake - he cleaned up and established alibis for the other 2 (not counting the dead one) and accidentally put himself on the line.
Good surprise ending to this episode, somewhat predictable line though - oh no there are 2! Wait now there's 3! And the kid didn't even really look like the 3 grown ones!
Still, I give it a 98 out of 100 - the percentage of the population that doesn't have a twin or triplet :D

Bones - 'The Bump in the Road'
I'm honestly getting kinda tired of blogging -.- All the typing hurts my arms, and often it takes so long to recap something that's happening, I get too far behind so I have to pause and type and then restart and type some more. And SOMETIMES the damn screen freezes up and I can't see what I've just written, or if I've made any mistakes - gee, it's doing that RIGHT NOW!!
Because I watch so much TV online, I often end up blogging at the same time. But i've decided to do somethign a little different this week - watch the show first (on airor online) and then type a short summary of my thoughts AFTERWARD. That way, it'll only be my thoughts, rather than just a play-by-play, which it often ends up... And also it won't be as incredibly LONG as many of my recent blogs have been.
So, last night's Bones was interesting. I was expecting them to do an episode where she was still at home with the baby, and maybe consulting with the lab via phone, but they didn't so whatever. It was interesting to see how they suddenly made the baby six weeks old, (the actor baby still seemed way too old for that) and Bones was so protective. I found that hilarious, seeing that whole new side of her.
Booth and Brennan as a couple was a very interestign dynamic - when she was pregnant, they still seemed as though they were partners, and nothing more (minus the hilarious sexual tension they had in earlier seasons), but now that we see the 2 of them getting ready to work in the morning, and they're living together, it really sinks in for the viewer - and I have to say, I liked it.
A lot of the time, I cross my fingers for certain people on shows to get together, and then end up regretting the nauseating results (Finchel from Glee, anyone?!) but that's never been a problem on this show! Well, I hate Daisy and Sweets, but I never wanted them to get together anyways! In the earlier days, when Hodgins was courting Angela, that was adorable - and now that they've been almost married, broken up, one-sided love, and now married finally - they still are adorable!
So anyway, I totally loved the accident Bones had when she was trying to send a picture of the body to the lab, but accidentally sent it to the director of her daughter's daycare instead!! Doesn't matter how high your IQ, everyone makes mistakes with their phones from time to time. I sometimes hit the 'reply' button twice, causing it to 'reply' and then 'send' a blank message! My friends always freak out cos they think it didn't work and I have to apologize, feeling very sheepish for my overeager clicking. However, I have never messed up as bad as that, sending a photo of a dead body - and then her reaction was so priceless, clicking the screen, and then going 'is there an 'unsend' button??'
Finally we bring back the cute southern guy (I forgot his name last week, it was FINI, which is so weird that I could forget that, considering there are now 3 Finns in my fave TV shows - First Glee, then this, and now CSI) but his storyline from this episode was so precious - he meets Cam's adopted daughter Miclelle and the two of them hit it off (Cam's face was priceless when she first realised they were flirting) and he takes her to a bluegrass concert (which I don't understand..) and then Cam got overprotective and told them to stop seeing each other but his little speech at the end where he said he couldn't stop seeing Michelle cos he couldnt stop thinking about her and he was crazy about it, so if Cam wanted to fire him, that was fine... So precious! And of course, she concedes that she was out of line and apologizes for being 'old' (Michelle's words) and that Finn can stay, so he and Michelle kiss and walk off together and made me feel, altogether, lonely -.-
The only 2 things I didn't like about that was 1) what happened to that girl Finn had been talking to at the beginning of the episode, in the diner?? and 2) Cam did have a point when she pointed out that Michelle always falls head-over-heels for guys and then makes bad decisions based on that - like turning down her dream school so she could stay in town with her loser boyfriend 1 or 2 seasons ago.
The insane couponing ladies scared the shit out of me - I've seen those reality shows where they use crzy amounts of coupons to (in my opinion, be greedy and) save a lot of money - but I never expected them to be FIGTHING over them! With fists! And claws! Holy crap. I also felt bad for the husband of the victim - sure he was cheating on her, but she loved her damn saving more than she loved him, so of course he felt neglected! He still wouldn't have had an excuse for killing her, but he was innocent so it's all good.
The angry cashier at the grocery store looked exactly like the waitress lady from the diner they always go to O.O
And, in the end, it was the obnoxious-looking manager guy who had beaten her, causing her to crawl under the truck which eventually killed her. What kind of monster clipboard was that, I ask you?? It was a good 2 inches thick, and made of metal? After all, it dented her skull! Insane. And even better was Brenna's advice to him, 'You shouldn't hit people. You should use your words. That's what all the books say.' That had me doubled over with laughter.
Another highlight of this episode was the return of Agent Shaw! (played by the same girl who was Deb in Napoleon Dynamite.) I love how she's always 500 steps ahead of Booth, but a tad too eager to please... And the fact that she mentioned having a son was a little worrisome - they wouldn't put that in, give her more depth, unless she's gonna be around a lot more - or die. In fact, when she first showed up last season, it was the episode where they had been touting that someone, 'one of their own' was going to die and I thought it might've been her - which would have been preferable, given that the one they killed off was my favourite of all the interns, Vincent Nigel-Murray :'(
All in all, it was a good episode, interesting case, good character development, and very entertaining and romantic.
Why did I think this would be short??
Because I watch so much TV online, I often end up blogging at the same time. But i've decided to do somethign a little different this week - watch the show first (on airor online) and then type a short summary of my thoughts AFTERWARD. That way, it'll only be my thoughts, rather than just a play-by-play, which it often ends up... And also it won't be as incredibly LONG as many of my recent blogs have been.
So, last night's Bones was interesting. I was expecting them to do an episode where she was still at home with the baby, and maybe consulting with the lab via phone, but they didn't so whatever. It was interesting to see how they suddenly made the baby six weeks old, (the actor baby still seemed way too old for that) and Bones was so protective. I found that hilarious, seeing that whole new side of her.
Booth and Brennan as a couple was a very interestign dynamic - when she was pregnant, they still seemed as though they were partners, and nothing more (minus the hilarious sexual tension they had in earlier seasons), but now that we see the 2 of them getting ready to work in the morning, and they're living together, it really sinks in for the viewer - and I have to say, I liked it.
A lot of the time, I cross my fingers for certain people on shows to get together, and then end up regretting the nauseating results (Finchel from Glee, anyone?!) but that's never been a problem on this show! Well, I hate Daisy and Sweets, but I never wanted them to get together anyways! In the earlier days, when Hodgins was courting Angela, that was adorable - and now that they've been almost married, broken up, one-sided love, and now married finally - they still are adorable!
So anyway, I totally loved the accident Bones had when she was trying to send a picture of the body to the lab, but accidentally sent it to the director of her daughter's daycare instead!! Doesn't matter how high your IQ, everyone makes mistakes with their phones from time to time. I sometimes hit the 'reply' button twice, causing it to 'reply' and then 'send' a blank message! My friends always freak out cos they think it didn't work and I have to apologize, feeling very sheepish for my overeager clicking. However, I have never messed up as bad as that, sending a photo of a dead body - and then her reaction was so priceless, clicking the screen, and then going 'is there an 'unsend' button??'
Finally we bring back the cute southern guy (I forgot his name last week, it was FINI, which is so weird that I could forget that, considering there are now 3 Finns in my fave TV shows - First Glee, then this, and now CSI) but his storyline from this episode was so precious - he meets Cam's adopted daughter Miclelle and the two of them hit it off (Cam's face was priceless when she first realised they were flirting) and he takes her to a bluegrass concert (which I don't understand..) and then Cam got overprotective and told them to stop seeing each other but his little speech at the end where he said he couldn't stop seeing Michelle cos he couldnt stop thinking about her and he was crazy about it, so if Cam wanted to fire him, that was fine... So precious! And of course, she concedes that she was out of line and apologizes for being 'old' (Michelle's words) and that Finn can stay, so he and Michelle kiss and walk off together and made me feel, altogether, lonely -.-
The only 2 things I didn't like about that was 1) what happened to that girl Finn had been talking to at the beginning of the episode, in the diner?? and 2) Cam did have a point when she pointed out that Michelle always falls head-over-heels for guys and then makes bad decisions based on that - like turning down her dream school so she could stay in town with her loser boyfriend 1 or 2 seasons ago.
The insane couponing ladies scared the shit out of me - I've seen those reality shows where they use crzy amounts of coupons to (in my opinion, be greedy and) save a lot of money - but I never expected them to be FIGTHING over them! With fists! And claws! Holy crap. I also felt bad for the husband of the victim - sure he was cheating on her, but she loved her damn saving more than she loved him, so of course he felt neglected! He still wouldn't have had an excuse for killing her, but he was innocent so it's all good.

Big Bang Theory - 'The Hawking Excitation'
I just realised I've been less than exemplary in my blogging about this show over the past few weeks :S But considering I'm not too sure where I left off, and too lazy to go back and rewatch those episodes just so I can write about them, I'm just going to jump back in few episodes later.
We start with a joke about penis enlargement, and I am immediately glad I'm not watching this with my parents in the room.
Aaaand Stephen Hawking is coming to the university!! Not a surprise, considering I've seen all of the promos and recaps on the BBT facebook page, but exciting news nonetheless :) I'm also expecting this episode to contain many jokes about Howard being an engineer, not a doctor, since the plotline is that Hawking needs an engineer to help maintain the equipment on his wheelchair. AND there's the first one, less than 2 minutes in - causing Howard to change his mind about introducing Sheldon to Stephen Hawking. And Hawking, apparently, is the only person who may potentially be Sheldon's intellectual equal (and he's insulted Howard again).
Sheldon's super-jealous haha and Raj's the 'group historian' lol I enjoy that so much! I'm pretty sure I do that too haha (except none of the instances Raj mentioned were ever on the show, so I wouldn't have known about them!!) Howard says 'no' in a whole bunch of languages - Sheldon corrects him on binary - and LMFAO 'Lemme try Gangsta - Hellz Nah' this is so hilarious and Howard 'owns his ass' right now teehee
OMG Howard wants Sheldon to polish his belt buckles!! Does this mean we'll finally get to see the entire Wolowitz belt-buckle collection all at once??!!! This is so exciting!!! I have to admit, his Pac-man one is my fave, but if he has a Mario one like mine, I may die a little of happiness :P Damn we can't really see them, theyre not really arranged on a shelf like I hoped, he dumped them all on the bed, but that's a whole ton of belt buckes! 'Funny thing is, I only have one belt' HAHA it's true! And the way he said that sounded so innocent and cutesy haha he's a good actor, that one.
WTF SHELDON IN A FRENCH MAID OUTFIT???!!!!!!!!!!! MY EYES ARE BURNING FROM THE PAIN AND THE TEARS OF LAUGHTER
And finally Penny shows up, to lend Sheldon some moral support as he washes Howard's laundry.
And we have another 'Howard isn't a doctor' joke - from Bernadette! 'If you don't want to be teased about not having a doctorate, get a doctorate! I have one, they're great!' That's even funnier when it comes from her for 2 reasons - 1, she's his financée but still teases him, and 2 - her voice haha
LMAO now Sheldon has to take Howard's mom dress shopping hahaha this is disturbing but also hilarious - unfortunately, since you can't see her they're discribing everything and I have a very vivid imagination haha
Ooh the last challenge is the most difficult of all, Howard wants Sheldon to give him a compliment - and awwe he actually gave Hawking the paper three days ago haha and he IS actually excited, just hidign it very well haha
Aw now they're actually talking this is adorable cos Sheldon's so excited and nervous but polite - but he was wrong hahahaha and unintentionally saying Hawking makes mathematical errors and then he FAINTS ohmygod that was priceless and Hawking was funnier than I expected (yes he didn't actually talk, and all those lines were written for him, but it was a good performance nonetheless.)

Bones - WHAT EPISODE TITLE? BONES HAD HER BABY!!!
Yea I'm posting this super-late but even tho I watched it on the day it actually aired, I was too lazy to run upstairs and blog on EVERY commercial break. So sue me :P
Hmm the case in itself wasn't of much note, except for the fact that Bones in the prison was funny - a giant brawl breakes out and she walks through unscathed, proving her point that they won't touch her cos she pregnant, and hurting a child is against the prisoners' internal 'code of ethics'. I was actually surprised at that point that Booth managed to get his way thru without being hit in the face or something - aren't law enforcement people really low on the list of people to protect in prison? - but he did struggle a bit, nobody leapt out of his way like they did for Bones.
I have to admit, when something about a cookbook was mentioned, I did for a while think the prison guard was the killer, because he bragged about bakign some cookies earlier in the episode. But nope, it was a prisoner - the same prisoner who had prevented the victim from getting beaten up on his first week. But here's what I didn't get - the victim was a Ponzi scheme artist, a white-collar criminal, so why was he in prison with all these gang members and violent criminals?? I guess that made for a more interesting episode...
ANYWAY on to the big news of the night - the addition of the newest character!! Little Christine Angela!! (I really began tearing up when they said Angela was her middle name and other Angela looked so happily tearful - then for some reason I couldn't stop).
I have to admit, that as an avid reader of the Kathy Reich's books (the series upon which Bones is allegedly based), I was hoping they would call the baby Katy (Temperence's adult daughter in the books), but then I was thinking that there was very little left at this point which the TV show had in common with the books, so I shrugged and continued sniffling - besides, this name is more meaningful, after Bones' dead mother, and her alive best friend :)
In all honesty, I knew from the moment that Bones started telling Booth how the manger scene from the Bible was fictional (and when I saw the promos in which the snooty B&B man tells them they can't stay here - and Bones threatens to squat on the lawn) that she was going to give birth in some kind of barn after being turned away from the inn (and seriously, was that at all sanitary? Why didn't they even try to call some kind of ambulance or doctor to come and supervise??). Also - the baby she 'gave birth' to was way too old to be a newborn, its eyes were fully open lol and for a breif moment I wondered if that was actor Emily Deschanel's real-life son...
But all in all, it was a very moving episode, made me and several of the characters cry (side note: when did they get around to fixing up their house? You'd think there would have been an episode where they moved in..), made me laugh a ton, about Sweets desperately wanting to be friends with Booth 'No soccer.' 'Oh c'mon, don't say that!' and then they devised that fake personality test so that they could try to convince Bones to give birth in a hospital (this was even funnier considering I was recently on DVD watching Sweets' first episode, and I clearly remember how terrified he was of Booth haha).
The only problem with this episode I had was of the inclusion of the ever-annoying Daisy - she took some of Hodgin's credit (the yelling when she was watching the camera was funny), she squealed over everything involving the baby, the fact that her presence reminded me of the one thing I dislike about Sweets (his taste in women) and that by her being there, we didn't get to see the cutie Wendell, the cute Southern guy (whose name I can't remember...), or the creepy-looking but nevertheless entertaining Fisher :P The ONE upside to her plotline in this episode was when she and Sweets were making out behind the desk and she made a realisation and took off, leaving him lying behind the desk with his shift all messed-up, to be found by the weirded-out and slightly amused Cam! And his explanation was even funnier - 'I was um, down here looking, um for that thing that, um I can't find... Hey why is my jacket like that?' *pulls it up over his shoulder* PRICELESS.
This was a great way to bring the show back, in a new timeslot no less, after the winter hiatus! Can't wait for next Monday :)
