Why people leave buttocks lying around, I'll never know

I just sat through an hour of "Bones" because the advertising heavily emphasised guest-star Stephen Fry. "OMG!" it said. "Stephen Fry! He is in Bones! This is both noteworthy and awesome!"

It turned out that he was in fact an accessory to the soap-opera B-plot^[1]. And, given that not a single shot from the trailer was actually in this particular episode, it seems that Mr Fry's psychotherapist character is in fact recurring in nature. Making his appearance neither awesome nor noteworthy. Except inasmuch as it was Stephen Fry, and his delivery remains as engaging and nuanced as ever.

On the other hand, I now have Heroes 1x19 and intend to enjoy.

[1] or possibly C-plot depending on how interesting you rate the other unrelated soap-opera plot. The episode unfolded as follows:
A) THERE ARE SOME BONES OH NOES MURDER IN TEH CHURCH
B) Our two leads may have some sexual tension, engage Stephen Fry multiple cameo conflict resolution mode
C) Our two supporting characters are in a relationship ha ha

I totally need to watch the episodes past 16...

In fact could do with getting my mitts on the lot. Fancy helping? :)

I can help you with the first part, but in terms of acquisition I imagine you'd rather get them on DVD than CD, and I don't have a writer. Potentially Alex could help on that front though...

fine either way. I have a computer which can handle that kind of thing :)

If he's going to guest-star in a drama, he should be in House ;-)
