# Forensic Gardening
Is like CSI, but with Forensic Gardening thrown in

# Is CSI like Bones with falling over thrown in?

# Have you read the books that Bones are based on?
I've not watched the series as, having seen the trailers I can tell that it's kind of thrown the source out of the window, but I love Kathy Reichs' writing.

# Woman Husband has all the Reichs
I intend reading them at some point

I miss Bones

*edit* Bones is loosely based on the character- but not the setting or indeed adventures/experiences. But is enjoyable and full of good characters

or at least I think so

# Warning: they've sexed Tempe up, from what I've seen.
Because of course, you can't have a central character over the age of 35.

# Emily Deschanel is stunning it's true
But Tempe isn't sexier than in the books. Less so if anything

# Really? I guess I should watch at least one episode so I can bitch properly
she's not stunning to me, not really. Just Hollywood-pretty. You know, genetically more symmetrical or something.

# I just like her eyes
*daydreams*

# Bellucci>Deschanel.
IMO, anyway.

And Zooey beats Emily any day.

# I don't recognise anything except Bellucci.
(I helped save b3ta! drbroon abloooobloobloo, Fri 17 Oct 2008, 14:18, archived)
# Hell yeah!
All except the most recent. The series has completely thrown the original Temperance out of the window, but it's a good show in its own right.

# Which is the exact reason why I'm not watching it.
If Tempe v1.0 wasn't good enough, nothing is.

Edit: you might like Karin Slaughter's work. I do.

# Not got into them yet
I've got a stack of books I haven't read yet, massively fighting the urge to add to it!

# I'll keep my mouth shut about Jonathan Kellerman then.

# I've about 200 of Woman Husband's Crime books still to read
Karin Slaughter, Reichs, Cornwell, Patterson...

# I've decided, after years of loving her
that Cornwell can fuck off. Scarpetta's far too like her, and she goes on and on about her being handsome and all this, whilst obviously basing her on herself. It's just page after page of 'ooh aren't I wonderful in the present tense? Ooh yes'

# I need to get hold of the latest Reichs
I've also got Cornwell, Fleming, Pratchett, Rankin, Goscinny and Uderzo...
