I just have to butt in and say WORD. I thought maybe I was crazy and didn't understand what a "federal case" really involved, but it seems to me anything involving death in or around D.C. is considered one in the Bones world. It was driving me nuts, too, until I decided I couldn't afford to care about it any more. :)
Yeah, but if you are going to write about it, I think you need to care. And of course I have the references to prove it (because I'm me...sad, isn't it? ;) ).
Oh, I'm not arguing they shouldn't care. I believe they definitely should be as accurate as possible. But considering how little they seem to care for accuracy in all aspects of the show, I've just concluded for my own sanity I have to give up caring what they do. Although it probably won't keep me from bitching about it whenever possible. :D
I just feel free to bitch. And then rewrite the ep the way that I think it should have been! ;) Hell, I rewrote the season three season finale TWICE I was so unhappy!
OMG I just read that list of crimes. Cruise ship crimes? I can't believe the Bones writers haven't taken advantage of that one yet. Maybe that will be the show's finale with B/B getting married at sea by the captain. LOL! *sings* The Love Boat...
But don't laugh -- we use that list at the beginning of every story to make sure that we've got a real federal case. That's how 'Human Puzzle in a Packing Crate' worked for us...the crime was on an oil rig in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and out of state waters...
