Thank goodness for Nascar!
ReplyDeleteSo the Bones season finale will be a cliffhanger for Booth? I was really hoping it would endanger the team/whole cast.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know it will be a cliffhanger?
ReplyDeleteSo,New girl finale is now named Elaine's big day?...Cool,right on. btw," shocking announcement" part of it all is making me anxious,I reeeally hope it isnt what i think it is.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying I know it'll be a cliffhanger. Brennan believes that Booth is a target and since Pelant tried framing her last season, I'M ASSUMING that Pelant will be after Booth this season (finale). I know it's a prediction, I'm not 100%. It's a guess.
ReplyDeleteI must be the only person, but I really am not a fan of this "Pelant" story arc. I feel like it diminished the respect I had for the show. Gravedigger had a bigger impact on the show. I feel like the writers are selling this guy as a bad guy.
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy when football returns!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm the only one who watches Hell's Kitchen - but I'm finding this group of chefs seem to have more issues than past seasons. I don't know that I've ever seen this many bad services on the show.
ReplyDelete
