Mistletoe's Musings

Have you missed me? There has been such a lot going on with icon making and re-watch discussions that  my Season 4 re-watch has fallen behind somewhat. So, to remedy that today, we have two pivotal episodes in what turned out to be a serious illness for Agent Booth. Why nobody picked up the symptoms, what with concussion, stun gunning and two instances of hallucinations is just one of those crazy things that happens on television shows. Anyway, here we go with the next edition of A Booth for all seasons: Fire in the Ice and Hero in the Hold.

( Fire in the Hold or hero on the ice, it's all Booth all the way. )

I don't know what happened to the centre bit on Color and Artist's Choice. I hope it doesn't detract.

Now on with my other two Challenges.

Here is a very brief update of A Booth for All Seasons. It is brief because there is a run of episodes where we have very little Booth action except he gets progressively dumber. Whether this is because of the brain tumour or writers decisions that Sweets needed a boost, there is not much to add in the way of background. ( Okay, you just have to give me a minute, okay, you can have your boobies all to yourself. )

Here we have this month's entry for tvcrush20in20 .

Big shift in the weather: not Icelandic volcano or Rapture related, just a low in the Atlantic. So wet and windy.

Let's get Booth to a place we haven't been yet: with his roots showing.

Well that was very long, but it gets rather bitty after this so I gave it a good going over.

Still windy and stormy out

See, I mention that May is the month of renewals on Sunday and DB tweets on Monday that Season 7 is good to go. *preens*

So let's get on with Season 4 or I'll never catch up. Technically I have started Season 4, but when you check episode numbers, several of the early ones have a 3 as part of their identifier, namely, in numerical order:
The He in the She  3AKY15
The Man in the Outhouse   3AKY16
The Finger in the Nest  3AKY17
The Crank in the Shaft. 3AKY18
I assume, this was to make up for the writers' strike ravaged shortness of Season 3. It means I am not going to look at Booth's office until I reach Episode 4AKY01 which is The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond although there will be a backward step in The Crank in the Shaft to look at THE CHAIR. Just a small snippet today as I'm a bit distracted.

I was going to do more, but I haven't done the research yet, so it must wait.

It's another glorious day in the neighbourhood and amilyn 's timeline for Booth post reminded me that I hadn't got started on Season 4 in quite such as timely a fashion as I would have liked. I think I was prevaricating because the first episode was greeted with a certain amount of antagonism on this side of the Pond, because of the cliched view of the UK it presented. This had nothing to do with Booth, but I need to say it. The British aristocracy is not royalty. They are wealthy landowners who may trace their titles back to Norman times (11th century) but they are not relatives of the Queen. These are the exceptions:
Duke of Edinburgh - Prince Philip, married to the Queen. He is Greek. He does not own Edinburgh.
Duke of Kent - Prince Edward, Queen's first cousin, a grandson of George V
Duke of Gloucester - Prince Richard, Queen's cousin and grandson of George V
Duke of Cornwall - Prince Charles, Queen's eldest son
Duke of York - Prince Andrew, Queen's second son
Earl of Wessex - Prince Edward, Queen's youngest son.

Secondly, the police in London tend to be referred to as the Met., short for Metropolitan Police, rather than Scotland Yard. Also, homicide is not the name given to  police investigations of murder in this country

Right, after that is out of the way, everything else is just nitpicking.

Oh, I'm going to miss the first day of our first game at home on Wednesday if I go to the Quayside. *ponders* Quayside I think. Good food, good wine, good friends. I can go to days 2 and 3 instead. he he

Here is my entry for this month's challenge over at tvcrush20in20 . This month's topic was female characters. So,  we have four mainstays from the distaff side of Bones.
