TV is better with gaming

ivyficDue to the constant squeeing by some people on my f-list, I have started watching Bones. It's kind of like Moonlighting meets CSI, if CSI lost all of the scientific accuracy it has left. To keep myself from cringing at the bad science (holographic image projector? the hell?), I have decided that they're all technomages, who use science as the paradigm for the magic. Angela is a time mage--she's just using that holographic image thing-y as a means of focusing her ability to see into the past. Hodgson is a matter mage (he analyzes stuff!). I'm not quite sure what Bones is--death mage, maybe?
That's what the whole point Booth is making about squints being "different" than normal people. Of course, Booth, without being fully concious of it, is a mind mage, hence his hunches and succesful hypothesizing of motives. That also explains how he managed to prevent Bones from being arrested after she shot a suspect after breaking into his house drunk. See? It makes perfect sense now.
I can only conclude that the giant warehouse space they work in, with the artfully displayed walls of bones, and lack of defined rooms, making it easy for the smell of rotting flesh to waft over the entire compound, is some sort of massive paradox backlash.
