As it is, I don't think any of them are dead

At least Weston and Emma lived to see another day as they were the only characters I liked.

And that Emma is going to raise little Joey to be just like his father.

How's that for imagination? Ha!

I watched it last night (DVR)...

I knew something was going to happen to Ryan and Claire. They can't kill everyone what will happen next season.

I think Claire will die, but Ryan won't. What if Ryan gets her son?

Do you watch Bones? I watched that season finale too...kinda sad.

I laughed at the ending, because I got fed up with "The Following" a few episodes back but Mr. BtA likes it, so it was a "cliffhanger" ending and I teased him.

I love "Bones"! It is my favorite show. Very sad ending, but at least I am not freaking out if someone is dead or not. Did you notice the episode didn't have a squintern?

I can't stand Emma. I wanna reach through the tv and slap her.

I like Bones too, watched it from the beginning though I've missed a few episodes. Yeah I noticed that, wonder why.

At first I wasn't crazy about it, and Bones irritate me every time she said 'I don't understand what that means', but she grew on me. I watched cuz I loved David Boreanaz in Angel and thought he was hot. But the shows got better as time went on.

Bones is my all time favorite. The books are interesting, but can get difficult to read at times. I like when she says "I don't understand what that means" makes me giggle every time. I know people like her, who are so smart, but don't have the sense G-d gave a goose and don't get the basic of cultural references.

You know there is movie where David Boreanaz is nude...full frontal, right?!

full frontal? hmmm...can you slip me a note with the name of the movie.

I've never read the books, my mom has and said they were pretty good. The 'I don't understand' did grow on me, but mostly a lot of the answers Booth gives were/are funny. I think she's really pretty too. I love Angela and Hodge together.

And I'm with you and LittleStar, love me some Caroline!

...It seems the pic I found while looking for a...um...a recipe..yeah, that's it, a recipe, is fake, but you do get a glimpse of it and a great shot of his butt in the movie called "These Girls."

I love Angela! I am glad she and Hodgins hooked up. Angela makes me laugh. I hated when they added Cam but she really grew on me. It is such a clever show. Have you ever seen specials on forensics with Kathy Reichs? She is really interesting too.

Miss Julian rocks! I loved the one where she was flirting with that guy. Mr. BtA and I were laughing so hard we were crying.

for a spicy recipe. Boy did you find one.

I got Hodgins name wrong, where did I get Hodge from. I didn't like Cam at first either.

No I've never those shows. Are they on a discovery channel? I will look them.

I don't know if any have been on recently. You might be able to find some old ones on Netflix. Check IMDB for titles with her in it and then check Netflix. I love forensics, so Bones was a natural choice for me.

Don't know if you are into languages at all, check out "America's Secret Slang" on History Channel 2. They did one on Southern Slang and one on Slang from the Westward expansion. Know where "over the barrel" comes from? How about "redneck" or "y'all?" It was really cute and only a half hour.

When they brought her character on during the trip to New Orleans (incidentally, my partner and I were in NOLA at the time that aired looking for a home), I said, "I hope they bring her back!" She was also on "Better Off Ted" as an HR person...she was a hoot! For the squints, I am more partial to Wendell and Mr. Fazarri. I was so worried they were going to kill him off last week!

I think he may have felt he deserved more recognition/$$ or something???? He did make the show back then. It took them a while to get their footing back without him. I loved him and there were all kinds of petitions on line to bring Zack back. But the bastids didn't!

How can any of the main bad guys die... when the writers have made the FBI and Law Enforcement the most inept bunch of knuckleheads ever on TV.

We lost it with this show a few episodes back, but figured we might as well watch the rest of the season, just to see how bad it could get.

The finale was about what we expected: the epitome of stupider-than-reality cops and smarter-than-reality bad guys. When the last scene faded, my hubby said, "Well, that's it. Everyone's dead, and that's how I'm leaving it. The End. I'm never watching this show again." I agreed.

Why does this show get the ratings it does? It's crap writing, so predictable, especially once you get their schtick. We made a game out of predicting what would happen next (and were usually right). I guess it's star power? But even that falls flat. Keven Bacon and James Purefoy can only do so much with the drek they're given to work with.

Bleh... glad it's done.

Now, The Americans (on FX)... that's got it all: great writing and directing, fantastic actors, and a meaty plot. I didn't watch last night's season finale of that show yet, but am savoring the idea of getting to it tonight.
