But, reactions to the latest ep, No One to Watch Over Me?
I'm glad we got to see it, first off- rumors are flying about a Bones ep that was made that may not be shown now because of the massacre. I think the way they handled it was appropriate, though. After all, it wasn't the actual shooting episode. Having a thoughtful intro rather than replaying shooting seemed a novel way to handle it.
Should we censor everything that's entertaining in the name of protecting sensibilities, when the mainstream media is dissecting every bit of the tragedy 24/7? That seems silly. I think it different than editing out shots of the Twin Towers in series after 9/11. Scale, perhaps? And the fact that shows like Medium aren't direct references? I dunno, it seems the media can't find a balance. And life must go on. Your thoughts? Other reactions to the episode?
