Episode Eighteen: Curse You, Aqua Scum!

After an unanticipated hiatus, the girls are back, catching you up on tv from the past three weeks. In addition, we are joined by Frank from Frank's Music Free-For-All and the brand new Echo Alert podcasts (you may remember him from Chic Geek episode 13) to discuss Smallville. That's right! Ky is all caught up and now we can rant and rave to our hearts content without spoiling her (which makes Faith oh so happy).

Episode 17: The Phantom Rated R

A sort time ago, in an apartment very, very late at night. . .

Ta-Da! It's episode 17. This week we bring you the first of our monthly Star Wars discussions with Steve from Geek Out Loud! There was so much to talk about that this episode got rather lengthy, but we had a ton of fun recording and hope you enjoy listening.

Episode Seven: Decoding Illness

Sickness has struck. Again. Actually, based on what we've seen on Twitter, we're not the only one's who keep waking up with sudden headaches and sore throats. Personally, I blame the good old North Carolina weather. We were wearing sweaters in early October, and now we're back in t-shirts and the occasional light-weight jacket. Due to the election there wasn't much tv this week. But that didn't stop us. We're dedicating this week's episode to one of our favorite authors (Faith's been in mourning all week), Michael Crichton, died suddenly on Tuesday, November 4. This week we discuss the two of our regular shows that did air (Gossip Girl and T:SCC) as well as True Blood and the return of Bones (yay!). We also bring you our thoughts on Buffy Season 5, and encourage everyone to check out Felicia Day's webshow "The Guild", which is to begin its second season on November 25.

TV week: (6:45-20:15) Gossip Girl, T:SCC, Bones, True Blood

Bones 4.06: The Crank in the Shaft

FINALLY! That's all I have to say: FINALLY!

We FINALLY get some reaction from both Angela and Hodgins concerning the fact that they broke up (a month ago). I was beginning to believe that we were never going to see the situation play itself out.

And I really feel that we are FINALLY getting our characters written back to the way we've known them. Starting with just the beginning of the episode. The first thing we see is a shot of Booth's "cocky" belt buckle. I think that's the first time we've seen anything like that from him all season, even his socks are not sticking out in my mind.

The case was ok. I actually haven't figured out why the FBI was investigating it, other than the need for Brennan and the rest of the squints to put together the pieces. However, they're independent contractors (as Brennan makes very clear in this episode), so why would they need the FBI's help? Because I'm pretty sure they don't have jurisdiction over that office building. Great, now I'm curious. I'll have to ask someone about that later.

Overall, I was pretty happy with this episode. Once again the revolving grad student made me laugh (though that lip ring would not have been allowed in a real facility), and everyone seems to be interacting in a more natural manner. I don't mind if they change, but it needs to feel natural. But now I'm really looking forward to the next episode.

Episode Two: OMG Serena

We're back with another fun filled episode following an overwhelming week of television. NBC premiered almost all of their shows, including a 2 hour return of Heroes. We tried to cover everything, which makes for an interesting overview. We also get into our first Buffy segment, covering season one, what we like, what we didn't like, and our favorite characters for the season.

BTW: Faith wants to apologize to all of the Bones fans. She was very tired when we recorded this and had completely forgotten about "The Finger in the Nest" when she mentioned the ratings she had done on live journal. She gave it a 7.

TV Week Segment: (6:30 - 26:15) Spoilers for T:SCC, Bones, Heroes, and Gossip Girl

Music used this episode:
"New York Girls" by Morningwood
"Supervixen" by Garbage
