they've done a couple episodes now where Brennan goes on a TV show

You know, I could buy it if it happened once: The author thinks she'll be fine, the publisher/publicist has no reason to believe it won't, then she gets sstage fright and everything goes to hell. It's the repitition where reality breaks down.

On an unrelated note: Stop watching Bones and read Watchmen. Then bring it back to me so I can loan it to the other folks who have been clamoring to borrow my copy.
