Bones is a partnership with an underlying romantic angle.

Castle is a romance with an overarching partnership angle.

Still have to watch Bones S5 and S6, and Castle S3.5 and S4...

Tonight, I watched the most recent episode of Bones with arabel, who's only seen a handful of early episodes and didn't mind what she saw. We weren't very impressed. It doesn't help that arabel's in graphic design by trade, knows a lot of artists, and really hated the extreme wankiness of the artists portrayed in the episode.

Then, we went and watched the S2 episode The Judas On A Pole. And within five minutes, she turned to me and said, "It's a completely different show!" And it was.

The writing was tight, the plot was engaging, the acting was subtle, the team was wonderful and worked. Brennan wasn't a socially maladjusted nerd - yes, she wasn't always fully with it, but she wasn't so socially stupid - that was left to Zack, who did a much better job of it.

*sigh*

( thoughts on Bones 4.03 - The Episode With The Annoying Grad Assistant )

I could rewatch this...as long as I silenced the sound anytime the grad student turned up.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Written for the femme_fic ficathon, to rolleson's request of Sam Carter and Temperance Brennan from Stargate SG1 and Bones. It's been years since I put this much effort into something from another fandom, and it's certainly been an education!

My betas, grav_ity and rodlox, were magnificent and helped out significantly with the archaeological/anthropological side of things. Extreme thanks goes to my sister who gave me her anatomy textbook from which I researched my anatomical anthrobabble, even if she'll never read this entry or this story!
