    I don't think that the main character in Bones is really a Mary Sue... isn't the character supposed to be based on the author who wrote the books that bones is based on?

    That seems to be pretty much the opposite of a Mary Sue.

    Bones is like a martial artist, musician, expert marksman super scientist. She is kathy Reichs mary sue.

    It's not a Mary Sue because who the fuck would want to be that woman.

    my fiancee?

    Your fiancee wants to lack most basic social skills?

    The fun part was when one of my classmates went well what about trans stuff and I just opened up on them. Not in a vicious attacky way but a you are in no way qualified to have this conversation way.

    so someone asked a question

    and you told them they don't get to ask taht question?

    No no I basically gave a Podly-style response talking about things they'd never heard of.

    This is why I let other people worry about social stuff now. I dislike feeling like an obtrusive ignoramus for giving a shit.

    It's not your fault if someone starts railing at you for talking about subject you don't have a masters in

    very loosely based, to the point of having little in common, according to my wife, who has read some of the books but hates the TV show

    Re: anniversaries.

    We just pick a weekend in September and call that our anniversary. Whenever it seems we aren't gonna be otherwise busy.

    got married during a month-long bender?

    Not getting married till I finish my degree.

    We did kind of a gentle transition from "best friends" to one day we looked at each other and said, "Uh, we're sort of a couple aren't we?"
    *pause*
    "Yeah, I guess so..."

    Fifteen years later, still best friends.

    But no real "first date" to pin an anniversary on.

    Wait, you can do this? It wasn't in the fucking manual. I'm okay with the dates though because forgetting New Years Eve is hard as hell.

    I'm pretty sure this is the main reason my old roommate's fiance allowed her to go wild with her NYE wedding date idea. That, and I think he probably just didn't care. She's super pumped for it, though.

    The girl wants a traditional summer wedding. So I won't get that.

    I only watch Castle right now, and thats less crime drama and more who done it. Slight difference but it helps me sleep at night (well that and my nathan fillion cardboard cut out).

    Them mocking "Enhance" was great. And he really is ruggedly handsome.

    I think the winter wedding will be neat. And at least we don't have to fuck around with trying to find something to do for NYE this year. lol

    Also, Castle is great. I think my recordings are screwed up and it might have missed it last night though--I won't be able to check until Thursday though... gah.

    Reichs is still a creative consultant on the show, also a producer I believe. So this is her vision as well as the horrible writers.

    If Bones and Angel had a good supporting cast, the show would be good. But it has a wretched supporting cast, and Bones and Angel aren't good enough to make it work with crap secondary characters.
