Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

Telephone saga update.

Went down to parents this morning and, hopefully, fixed phone. Basically it was a reset job and a lesson in watching the battery level for when it needs to go on the charger. I rang when I got home and we didn't get cut off so let us hope that is that. I got my dinner there too so no need for cooking tonight. We watched tennis from Australia and bowls from East Anglia so that was quite fun.

As a result, I haven't had time to watch a film today though I did start my Season 3 rewatch last night so that's one item ticked. I saw one or two things to comment on in the opener and will have to start Soccer Mom in the Mini van again to keep the focus on Booth instead of Brennan's family journey. Incidentally, is it just me, but why would someone with no interest in sports and a lack of pop culture knowledge use and understand the term 'Soccer Mom'? It is such an un-Brennan type thing. She has no idea about soccer and no liking for momness. Careless writing again.

Also, I need to know if the hockey player in the picture behind Booth's desk is a Boston Bruin and if he is famous. Just a theory.





No progress on the Darren Bent story though he will go I think. *pout*

Will ask spouse to confirm tonight, but I think it's Bobby Orr, probably Boston's most famous player and about the right vintage to be a childhood hero of Booth's. I think in a couple of Booth office scenes there is a black and white photo of a hockey player who seems to be flying through the air, kind of sideways. This is also Bobby Orr.

Thanks that is very helpful. I had to google the uniform to work out it was a Bruins player but my knowledge was non existent after that. Any info from spouse gratefully received.

Spouse confirms that the picture is indeed of Bobby Orr. While this question holds no interest for him, his theory on why Booth would have a picture of Orr in his office is that he is arguably the second greatest hockey player of all time (some would argue for the greatest) and probably a sports hero in Booth's childhood, even though he's not a Flyer.

Excellent. I will now research Bobby Orr. I agree with spouse's theory on why Booth would have a non-Flyer picture. ooo I have a project *rubs hands*
