I just remembered that I haven't posted about Thursday nights episode of "Bones" yet - 5x07 "The Dwarf in the Dirt" - so here are my thoughts on it.

Loved seeing Gordon Gordon again - he's awesome and his scenes with everyone were really good. Sweets especially. Actually Sweets was really sweet (ha! Pun not intended) in this episode. I liked how he was upset because Booth went to Gordon Gordon with his problem instead of talking to him - it was really nice that Booth only did that because he likes him and didn't want to put him in an awkward situation.

It was brilliant to see Booth actually admit how he, obviously, feels about Brennan. Well he didn't say the words but he didn't exactly deny it either! When he said "She doesn't love me, I would know if she loved me" I was like "but she does!! She does love you!". I guess Brennan is hard to read and he can't tell - either that or he's too scared to do anything about and is using that as an excuse. Or maybe he's totally adorable and really doesn't think she loves him back. Aww. I loved that she knew that he'd been holding his coffee in a different hand and that he was walking up stairs starting with a different food. Talk about observant! Who would notice that kind of thing?

Loved this moment too.

Brennan: No, I like good boys
Booth: Really?

Lol!

i really don't know where their relationship is gonna go next - I know they're not gonna get together yet but I also can't see them dragging it out for much longer. I'm interested to see how they're gonna play this now.

Nice to see Vincent Nigel-Murray back too!

Oh, and while I don't like guns or anything Booth looked super hot firing that big gun at the beginning of the episode. Did you see his arms? Wow! And in that waistcoat? Awesome!

Oh, and what was with all the random Jeffersonian employees who kept walking in going "can you sign this" all the time? That was weird.

Okay, guys, this post is gonna be a bit epic - like Tolstoy long. You've been warned!

So, yesterday after work Vicky, Jo and I headed up to Birmingham for Rogue Events' Evening With "Supernatural" event! We got there fairly early (the event didn't start til about 6-ish) so looked around the Christmas markets that were in Birmingham town centre (they almost made me feel Christmassy but not quite) before heading to our hotel (the Jury's Inn) which was totally posher than I expected given what we'd paid for it. After signing in the woman at the counter said "here are your key cards, room 1013" and after checking the form she gave us we were like "1013!! Hahahahaha! We're gonna meet Skinner and we're in room 1013!". Needless to say we geeked out about that for a fair amount of time (and even took a picture of the front of our door! Lol!). The fact that we were there to meet an X Files legend (who was also in Supernatural, of course) and we were put in room 1013 totally blows my mind! What are the chances of that?!

After checking our room - which was really nice - we popped out for something to eat before getting ourselves all sorted out and heading down to register. The guests in attendance were Rob Benedict (Prophet Chuck), Chris Gauthier (Ronald from "Night Stalker" and star of "Harper's Island"), Mark Pellegrino (who is Lucifer in season five and was in "Dexter") and, of course, Mitch Pileggi (Samuel in "In The Beginning" and Skinner from "The X Files"). After purchasing an extra autograph ticket for Mark, who had been added at the last minute, and a single photo op with Mitch it was time for the group photo session which was included in the ticket price. As we were sitting in the front row we were amongst the first people to get pictures. I have to admit I was really nervous about walking up there by myself but Chris and Rob who were standing at the back were really welcoming. Mark and Mitch who were sitting on chairs at the front didn't really say much. Really nicely arranged photo though. Then we went back to our seats while everyone else got their photos done. During that we also purchased some 10x8 pictures they were selling for 4 for £10.

Then we sat down again and nervously waited for our turn in the individual Mitch photoshoot - it didn't take long for us to be in the queue for that and, as Mitch was sitting down, I was quite scared! Lol! He's quite a big dude and seemed kind of intimidating sitting there! Jo went up first and mentioned how he felt like Santa Claus sitting there waiting for people to come and sit with him! After the photo when Jo started to get up to leave he tapped her on the back and asked her her name. Awww.

I was next up and as soon as I walked over to the chair he said "hi, what do you want for Christmas?" and I totally didn't know what to say so just laughed nervously! Lol! As as I sat down he asked me my name and when I gave it he said something like "hi, Tracy, I'm Mitch, nice to meet you". Awwwwww. I replied with something like "nice to meet you too" and after the picture said goodbye and left with a big smile on my face! Seriously he was a total sweetheart! He's a big dude and looks like a total badass but he was so softly spoken and really sweet. I also get sorta worried about meeting someone like that in case they're really horrible. The picture came out really well too.

After that it was time for the single photoshoots with the other guests but as we hadn't ordered any of those we just went back to our seats and waited for the Q&A - with only about 40 people there it didn't take very long!

The talk was awesome! Mitch, Mark, Rob and Chris played off each other really well and people asked some really good questions to everyone. Jo and Vicky asked a few good ones but I was too scared to say anything! As we were sitting on the front row I felt really exposed and if any of them had looked at me I would totally have forgotten what I was gonna say! Lol! What was really good was that the questions were asked to all of them, it wasn't like one guest got all the questions and the others were left out.

Great questions were asked and the guys talked about so many different things and projects they'd done. Even though it was a "Supernatural" event, and they did talk about the show, of course, they also talked a lot about "Harper's Island", "The X Files", "Criminal Minds" and various other things. A lot of what they talked about wasn't really related to any specific show and was more focused on acting as a profession. It was a really great talk and I really enjoyed it. I was especially pleased that Mitch talked about his appearance on "Criminal Minds" as the episode he was in (season four's "Normal") was an absolute cracker! He seemed really proud of the work he did on that show - and so he should be as it was a great performance.

After the talk we had a short break during which our photo shoot pictures were given out and were awesome! We were all so pleased with them.

Then it was autograph time so we all headed over to the guys - and queued for each one seperately - we joined Mark's queue first, I asked him if he could write my name on it which he did asking me how to spell it and when I told him he mentioned that it's his wifes name too! As he was signing my cool 10x8 I said "I haven't seen you as Lucifer yet but I really enjoyed you in Dexter!" and he seemed pretty grateful and very cool. He'd mentioned in the talk that the things in a script he doesn't like seeing are the words "charming" and "menacing" which was funny because that's exactly what he is! And is, obviously, why he's been cast as Lucifer! He was a really nice guy though.

After Mark, we headed over to Rob and he was a total sweetheart! I was gonna ask him if he liked being in the UK but Jo, who went before me, asked him it already so I just rambled something about how much I loved him as Chuck, that he's a really cool character and I can't wait to see him again! As he signed my picture he asked me if I wanted a specific message written on it and I just said "whatever you want!" so he wrote "I am the Prophet Chuck!". Lol! He was really sweet and seems to enjoying the whole fan interaction thing. He personalised the autograph too!

Next we headed to Chris and collectively told him how much we enjoyed "Harper's Island" and Vicky asked him why so many Supernatural actors were in it - he said it was just a weird co-incidence - as he was signing mine I told him that Jo figured out who did it really early on to which he replied "really? She guessed it was him?" and then started coughing (he was so shocked, obviously! Lol!) and then added "it's okay, it's not swine flu". Lol! He also asked if I wanted it personalised and asked the spelling. he was a really nice guy too - and seemed like he could have chatted longer.

Finally we went over to Mitch - we'd decided to leave him til last as he was the guest we most wanted to see - and he didn't disappoint! Vicky asked him about "Stargate" and he chatted about that for a while, then Jo mentioned that we were all massive X Files fan and loved Skinner. When I got to the table and he asked me my name and the spelling I really couldn't think of much to say so threw together "I really loved your appearance on Criminal Minds! I was gonna ask you about it earlier but you answered it before I had chance" and he replied something about how he'd really enjoyed doing that episode so I said that it was the best episode of the season (in fact I think it's one of the best "Criminal Minds" ever but I didn't say that) and he smiled, winked and said "thankyou". The I thanked him for the autograph, said goobye and started to walking away as he mentioned that it was nice to meet me. Awwwwwww. Total legend!

Mitch, Mark, Rob and Chris were all totally awesome! I literally woke up this morning and said "I can't believe we met Skinner!". Hahaha!

Today we walked around Birmingham town centre for a while, had something to eat and them came home on the train.

( Pictures!! )

Thanks Jo, Vicky, Chris Gauthier, Rob Benedict, Mark Pellegrino, Mitch Pileggi and Rogue Events for an awesome night!!

You know I ordered that really awesome coat (plus a few other random bits) from the Asda website the other day? Well, the package arrived this morning - minus the coat. With nothing written on the invoice regarding it or anything so I quickly fired up the computer and checked the website where it had the coat in my order marked as cancelled. While I was getting ready Mum phoned them up (there's no e-mail on the website) and it turns out that the coat is out of stock so it was cancelled at their end. I should have received an e-mail about it but, clearly, I didn't. And still haven't. Needless to say I was pretty miffed. I only ordered the other bits because I was ordering the coat. If I'd known I would have just cancelled the whole order.

The black sequin bag I ordered at the same time is pretty cool though (I might use it tomorrow), but I really wanted that coat!

In other news: I watched "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" last night - I wasn't planning on watching it but just stumbled apon it on one of the Sky Movie channels. I thought it was quite cute. Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks were good together and had good chemistry. I don't think it Kevin Smith's best though. I'm not sure where the honour of that goes though. "Chasing Amy" maybe? Anyway, I quite enjoyed watching it. Before that I watched "17 Again" again. Another cute movie.

Oh, I keep forgetting to post about this, I'm going to this tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to it - it's gonna be fun. And it's Skinner, baby! I'm gonna pack my bag in a minute as I'm going to the train station straight from work tomorrow.

It's Thursday again already which means it's "Bones" night already! Woo hoo!

"Warehouse 13" was good again last night - Pete was awesome, of course, but that goes without saying really! His scenes with Myka were cute again - loved the scene when he told her to stay with her father while he went after the other artifact but my favourite moment was at the end when he was waiting outside for her and did that cute little "helloo" when she came out and she responded with an equally cute "hellooo" back. Awww. I love it when (non)couples have really cute moments like that. I don't really know why. They just seemed so comfortable with each other. Adorable. Sometimes I like the little moments more than the big more obvious shippy moments.

I also loved that he even went to see her parents in the first place - especially that he beat her there and was eating already when she arrived! Lol!

Great interaction between Pete and Claudia too - all the cast of this show have really good chemistry together.

Oh, and that ongoing storyline I keep harping on about was in the background in this episode and is gonna be predominant in next weeks finale. Can you believe that? Finale time already! It's flown by. I hope there's more episodes in season two than this one! 12 episodes just isn't enough. I also hope that the DVD comes out soon. I want it.

Mum met me after work today (we had to take something back to Dorothy Perkins) and after buying another ShakeAway milkshake (yum!) I found an awesomely cute bracelet on a jewellery stall in the shopping centre - it's got little purple stones on it and little animals. It's too cute. Of course, I had to buy it. Here's a picture. It's much better in person. It worked out about £7.20 (I think). The stall was 10% off today for today. It looks like a lion, a lioness and two zebras (maybe a male and female?) I don't really get the meaning but thought it was adorable and good for the price. I'd never bought another from that stall before but I'll definitely be looking at it from now on.

In other news: "FlashForward" was quite interesting last night - I still don't think it's as good as the hype (are they ever?) but it does seem to be going somewhere now. The stuff with Jack Davenport's character was interesting and I totally guessed that all the other gang members would have the same tattoo so Mark (I think?) probably didn't change history the way he thinks he did.

I wanted to see more with the other doctor (the dude, not Mark's wife) and the woman volunteering at the hospital (who is also the babysitter). I think I want to ship them. They have good chemistry.

I really need to remember the names of the characters!

"Warehouse 13" is on tonight. As "Chuck" has finished now I was gonna watch it at 9pm instead of on Sci-Fi+1 at 10pm but I think I might watch Alan Davies on "Horizon" on BBC2 at 9pm instead. It sounds "quite interesting" (ha!).

Guess what I did earlier? I only bought another coat - I ordered this one from the Asda website. I don't need it or anything but when I got home from work Nicky had the website open and was like "you should buy this coat" to which I replied "I don't think I need another coat....ooh, that's nice!". Lol! Hopefully it'll look as nice once it gets here - I also ordered this.

In other news: "Fringe" was good again last night. It was episode 2x07 "Of Human Action" and reminded me a lot of "The X Files" again - the season three episode "Pusher" this time. I also thought it was totally obvious that the kid was responsible and was very surprised that Olivia and co didn't figure it out sooner. I didn't guess the bit at the end regarding the Taylor's though. That was interesting.

I loved the Walter and Peter scenes again last night and there little moment with the crepes right at the end was really cute.

I was sure I had something else to post about but I can't think what it was now. How annoying.

I enjoyed "Bones" last night as usual but (and this might be just me as I haven't checked any fan reaction for it yet) God, Angela really annoyed me! The arguement she had with Brennan was completely ridiculous! It was like Angela didn't get her own way so she threw a strop! What is she, 12?? I was really annoyed when Sweets (and then Booth) said Brennan should "let her have this one". Yeah, give in to her so she'll do it again. Great. I used to like Angela but ever since the whole Hodgins thing I just find her annoying sometimes and last night she really ticked me off! Hodgins is better off without her. And where the hell did Angela/Wendell come from? She's totally just using him as a Hodgins replacement (incidentally they were totally wearing the same - well, almost the same - shirt). Grrrr! Really, when did she a start acting like a spoilt child?

The case was good again though and Booth and Brennan scenes are getting more couply as the show goes on. I swear if I didn't know better I'd think that they're actually together but we just didn't see the scene when it happened - I know though that Hart Hanson would be a dead man if he does that! The way he held her hand in the diner was just such a couple thing to do. Such a sweet scene too and so natural, like they do it all the time because neither of them reacted. The looks they shared were killer too. None of them reacted to the hand holding thing but he totally had a reaction to her taking his tie off - maybe he's thought about how that might feel before? And when she touched his face, he enjoyed that too. Oh, and him undoing his top button? Hot.

Loved how Booth knew something was up without her saying anything and his "Bones, I would do anything for you. I'd die for you, I would kill for you but I am not getting in between two best friends" was probably the cutest and most revealing thing he's said to her. He so loves her!

Another great final scene between them too - it's good to see that Booth's surgery hasn't been forgotten about so let's hope it's addressed a little more as the season goes on. As much as I love this show, ongoing storylines (apart from the Booth/Brennan thing, obviously) isn't one of it's strengths. The way her eyes lingered on him right at the end was so telling. She so loves him!

Seriously, after that final scene I literally shouted "Oh, just get together already before we all die!" even though, honestly, I don't want them to get together yet. It's too early but if we keep going on like this it's just gonna drive me crazy.

After that I watched "Lie To Me" which was really interesting this week, it was nice to see some insight into Agent Reynolds' background. Before last night we didn't really know much about him and what he did before joining The Lightman Group. Great scenes between Cal and him too. Liked when he tried to say thanks and Cal just said "oh, shut it!". Ha! He's awesome. Oh, and when he mentioned that person who caught him when he fell, he meant Gillian, right? Please tell me he meant that. Rationally, he could have been talking about anyone (his ex wife maybe?) but the shipper in me really wants him to have meant Gillian so I'm gonna just go with that.

I headed to the cinema today and saw "The Fourth Kind" which was good but not quite as good as I was expecting.

First of all let me make it clear that I'm a believer in this kinda thing (in theory anyway - I believe in the possibility of alien abduction but that doesn't necessarily mean I believe all the alleged incidents of it actually happened) but even I found it difficult to believe the "based on a true story" aspect of this film. I don't think an intro and outro by Milla Jovovich and the director warning me that what I'm gonna see might be disturbing and telling me to make up my own mind based on the evidence really helped with that. A understated text into would have been more effective, in my opinion.

The use of so called "real footage" was a nice gimmick and was really what set this apart from other films of it's kind. Having scenes of Milla Jovovich playing Dr Abigail Tyler running parallel to recordings of the "real" Abigail gave a really nice effect and worked really well. As did all of the other video and audio footage - including other patients under going hypnosis and police footage. All of which conveniently malfunctioned when an encounter of the fourth kind allegedly happened. While all this evidence was good, it didn't seem very balanced. We had Abigail telling her story of what happened but nobody else showing the other side of what could have happened. It was hard to make up on my own mind based on one persons version of events.

It was filmed well though - everything seemed suitably creepy (I know I'll never look at owls the same way again) which meant the whole film left the audience with a feeling of dread for a lot of the time. Like we knew something bad was gonna happen but we didn't know exactly what or when. The acting was generally strong. I'll admit that I'm not really a fan of Milla Jovovich - I don't think she's made a decent movie since "The Fifth Element" - but she was good in this. She played it just the right way, understated enough. She didn't overact but she wasn't wooden. The balance was just right, it was a very believable performance. Elias Koteas was also good, as was Will Patton. All three gave the right kind of performance for this type of film.

The film was just the right length at almost an hour and half so even though it was a bit slow in places it didn't really drag and it moved slowly along to it's ambiguous conclusion - which would have worked slightly better if we'd been given another persons version of what might have happened. For example the sheriff could have had a theory that was equally as believable (obviously he suspected her of something but it wasn't explored enough), it would have given us more to think about by the time the credits rolled.

To sum up, nice use of archive footage but it was shame it was a bit one-sided. Whether it's actually based on real events is anyone's guess really but that doesn't stop it being an effective little sci-fi thriller and if you're into that kinda thing then you'd probably enjoy it. It might help if you're a believer before seeing it though - if you're not then you probably won't believe a word of it. It'd probably give it about 7 out of ten.

Oh, and I kept thinking how helpful it would be for Abigail if Mulder and Scully had showed up.

Trailers:

"Paranormal Activity" - a great trailer which has footage from the movie mixed with alleged footage of peoples reactions when watching it in the cinema. It looks good and I have to say that it looks shit scary! Even the trailer gave me chills. Although, Surely promoting a movie as the scariest movie of all time is setting it up for disappointment though. I'll definitely be seeing this when it opens. If I'm brave enough.

"The Descent Part 2" - I haven't seen the original but this trailer was pretty good. Looks scary!

"Daybreakers" - a really good trailer for a film that I'd never heard of before. Great use of Placebo's "Running Up That Hill" on the trailer too. I might check this out once it opens.

"Law Abiding Citizen" - while this trailer isn't bad the more I see it the more I don't want to see the film. It just doesn't appeal to me at all.

Well, I've never watched this show (I watched one episode but didn't think much of it but I've heard that it got really good as the season went on) but I can't say I'm surprised, in fact I was surprised that it was picked up for a season two anyway. It was given a chance to improve on ratings (which is more than other shows have got) and it didn't so really this was inevitable.

Dollhouse cancelled

It's been a long time coming really. Ratings have been terrible. Good news for fans is that Fox are going to show the full run of season two so hopefully it'll finish properly for you.

Went to another quiz night last night - and we lost by one point! How sucky is that! It was really close actually. Two teams were tied for first place and three teams (including us) were tied for second. I think after all the tie-breakers we ended up joint 3rd. Or something. We were only one point behind the two teams that were first place (before the tie-breaker rounds) though. And there were a few questions we changed to wrong answers. We totally could have won it! Oh well. What can you do? It's not the winning, it's the taking part. Right?

I got back from the quiz at about 11pm so watched "Warehouse 13" (which I'd Sky+ed earlier) before going to bed. It was a good episode - I didn't think it was quite as good as the previous few but it was definitely an interesting episode - and the continuity seemed really good. It took this show a while but it finally got itself an ongoing storyline a few episodes ago and while the episodes themselves are generally stand alone the ongoing storyline is underlying all the time (I'm trying to think of a way to say that "the on going storyline is on going" without completely stating the obvious). I'm almost certain that the ongoing storyline is gonna play a massive part at the end of this first season.

Last nights featured some great character interaction - some great stuff between Pete and Myka, of course (that smile she gave him after he thanked her for saving his life was killer) but the really cool stuff was the interaction between them and Claudia. They seemed to have developed this really nice caring relationship with each other. Almost like they're a family. There was some great bonding stuff between Myka and Claudia and Pete and Claudia have really great sibling-like chemistry together. And I loved that Claudia gave him a hug after everything that happened. Very sweet. Being a Pete/Myka shipper I also loved the smile he gave her during the hug with Claudia. While I enjoy the storylines this show always seems to be more about the characters for me. It wouldn't matter if the storylines were weak as long as the characters were doing something good.

Oh, last nights episode also guest starred Mark Sheppard, who seems to be doing a really good job of appearing in nearly everything I watch! The first thing I remember seeing him in was a season one episode of  "The X Files" called "Fire" ("time to call 911" will always be a quote I associate with him). He was also memorable in three really strong episodes of "Medium". Among other things. He's also gonna be appearing in an episode of "Supernatural" season five (he may have already been in it already for those watching in the US. Or downloading). He's good in whatever I see him in and, as such, was cool in this.

Pete was awesome as usual too, Loved his response when the girls were yelling for him to come and help them.

Claudia and Myka: Pete!!!
Pete (running towards them): Chicks!!

Lol! He's such a dude.

There's only two episodes left of the season now but, thankfully, it has been picked up for a second season! Which is awesome news.  I'd really like to buy season one on DVD but it doesn't seem to be available. Maybe it's too early? Hopefully it'll be out soon.

I think I need some more W13 icons.

Wow, last nights "Fringe" reminded so much of "The X Files". It nearly always reminds me of "The X Files" but last nights episode reminded me even more than usual. It reminded me a lot of "Soft Light". It was quite a good episode though.

Before that I watched "The Xtra Factor" and, although this probably doesn't really make much sense, I actually felt really sorry for John and Edward. They looked completely shell shocked by last nights result and I get the feeling they feel realy bad about it - especially Edward (I think?). They things fans were saying couldn't have helped that either. They must have been certain they were gonna go last night and I think their performance in the sing off proved it. They just went out and gave it all they had. Probably thinking it was gonna be the last thing they were gonna do.

I think the reason Simon kept them in is obvious (although technically he didn't keep them in, the viewers did but he must have known that was gonna be the result) - X Factor ratings have been really high this year because of John and Edward. X Factor has been getting more publicity than ever because of John and Edward. And he knows it.

I can't believe I'm actually posting (and thinking) about "The X Factor". This is the first year I've really watched it and I usually complain about this kinda TV. I have to be honest though, the only reason I'm continuing to watch is because of John and Edward. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The other day I noticed that a ShakeAway had opened in Harrow - I'd never been in one before but as a lover of milkshakes when I saw it I had to go in a try one. After much deliberation i decided on a Hersey's cookies 'n' cream which was okay. Then yesterday I was in Harrow again and decided to try another one so went for an Oreo one with mini Oreo's on top. It was really nice but needed something extra. Then today when I was in Romford I noticed that there's a ShakeAway there too so went in again and got an Oreo and Cadbury's Caramel one with mini Oreo's on top and, boy, it was good! It was sinfully good. I don't even wanna know how many calories were in it!

With so many different flavours available I'm gonna be trying a different one every time!

Current Music: "Our Song" - Taylor Swift

Went to a quiz night last night which was cool but they showed the live Boxing for an hour in the middle of it - which is fine if you like boxing, Unfortunately, I don't really so the hour it was on dragged for a while. The quiz itself was well organized so I think maybe there was some kind of clash and lack of communication or something? Oh, and we won! Yay!

We got home after midnight but I still watched last nights "The X Factor" which I had Sky+ed! I figured I had to watch it before tonights results and I'm going out soon. Besides I totally wasn't tired when I got in - I had a drink of coke when I was out (first one in ages) and as a result (possibly?) I really didn't sleep well last night.

Anyway, during last weeks X Factor I predicted my final two and said Lucie and Joe. After this weeks episode I still stand by Lucie - last nighs was a great song choice for her and she totally nailed it - but now I'm not sure about Joe. He's good (his vocals are note perfect) but I think I agree with the judges (uh oh), he's too musical theatre. I think musical theatre would be the perfect place for his singing and performances.

John and Edward were brilliantly bad as usual. Ha! I love watching their performances and I could see a career ahead of them after this, but not as singers! They could be the next Dick and Dom and do kids TV or they could work at holiday camps or something. I just don't see them winning X Factor. I think they're awesome to watch (and they're probably my favourite act there!) but I think at the end of everything the show is gonna go back to being about singing and as fun as they are they're not about singing! I actually have a feeling that they're gonna be in the bottom two tonight - maybe with Lloyd (who I actually think gave his best performance yet) or Stacey (who I think is good but I just don't see her winning. I just don't think she's quite ready). I kinda predicted a while back that Jedward would only get to about this point so I won't be too surprised or upset if they do go out today.

I'm still predicting Lucie to be the last girl standing (or as my friend Simon (not Cowell) - hi! - would say, The Final Girl) but I'm not sure who with. Maybe Olly? Who I actually think is the most likely out of the Overs.

Anyway, last but not least Happy 18th Birthday nicky_disaster ! It's scary how much time flies! I know you won't read this but have a great day!

"Bones" - 5x05 "A Night at the Bones Museum" - was great last night! An interesting case which in turn led to some great moments between all of the characters. It was nice to see Daisy back for a while - she seemed less annoying than before - and the scenes between her and Brennan were really funny! Especially when they were both getting all excited about the Mummy. I loved the reactions from Hodgins and Angela! Haha! Hodgins' face was a picture. It was great seeing Brennan like that which was definitely something no-one was expecting! Oh and her talking about the Mummy movie. Lol! I almost want to think it was totally out of character but I enjoyed it too much to complain!

Some great scenes between Sweets and the gang too - loved the moment between him and Cam. Being a psychiatrist he really should have thought of her advice himself - or maybe he was too close to think objectively or something.

The best scenes for me were, of course, the Booth/Brennan stuff - even though part of me knows their thing is getting too obvious and is bordering on unrealistic I still love how their getting these great scenes out of them. The stuff with Brennan and the Assistant Director were fun - I can't decide if Brennan is completely oblivious or she knows exactly what's going and wants to see Booths reaction to situations like this and is trying to shake him into doing something. I can understand how Booth would feel a bit weird about her going out with his boss (even if he wasn't totally in love with Brennan it would still be extremely awkward) and it turned out he was right because it wasn't long before Brennan mentioned him while she was out on her date. Obviously that meatloaf comment wasn't something he just shared with everyone and she just didn't realise. Nice bit of tension in her office about that too before Hodgins interupted. "What goes on between us is ours". God, could Booth be more obvious?

The final scene was great too - another intensely shippy moment between them to end the episode - I swear to God, I thought they were gonna kiss for a minute there. He was definitely leaning in and I'm curious as to what might have happened had the gang not appeared! Something has got to happen to stop them getting together soon because this is just getting silly now!

The chemistry between David Boreanaz and Emiley Deshanel just amazes me every week!

Loved Brennan's dress at the end too. Oh, and loved Booth's "smells like Christmas". Awww.

I enjoyed last nights "Lie to Me" too but weirdly enough I can't think of much to actually say about it. Nice insight into Cal's past though and what he used to use his talents for. I also totally guessed who the undercover FBI dude was - not as early as Cal did though but during the scene when he was asked to use his abilty to tell which of the three people that were tied up was the Fed.

An interesting case running parallel to it too - are we to assume that there's more to Loker's story than he told? I reckon so. He's really growing on me as a character now - I liked him at the beginning of season one but then some of his actions made me question that. He's getting back into my good books now though.

In other, non televisual, news, my ankle isn't hurting anymore but I'd managed to do something to my back/neck and it's been hurting all day - it's sorta in the middle of my shoulder blades but when I move a certain way the pain goes down my arms, up my neck and further down my back/chest. It's be fun. I have no idea what I've done to it, when I woke up this morning it was fine but somewhere between getting dressed and going down to the bathroom this morning something must have happened. I did cough quite violently so maybe I've pulled something? If I sit up straight it really hurts so I'm slouching at the moment which I'm sure isn't gonna be a good thing in the long run. I swear I'm falling apart one limb at a time or something.
