Okay dudes. So now that Bones has descended into a world of suckiness and hurt, I think it's time there was another vehicle for David Boreanaz to showcase his particular brand of being a champion of good through the medium of brutal violence. So we need to come up with a format that will include all of the following:

• The Dave digs.
  
• The Dave wears a hat.
  
• The Dave rescues puppies.
  
• The Dave hugs distraught children.
  
• The Dave wears a white vest.
  
• The Dave broods.
  
• The Dave does the Angel Dance.
  
• The Angel Dance must now also include a part where he plays air instruments.
  
• The Dave uses his Charm Smile on someone.
  
• The Dave punches people.
  
• The Dave pistol whips people (this bit is super-important - these days, if someone isn't getting pistol-whipped, I don't feel I've been entertained).
  
• The Dave smashes down doors.
  
• The Dave is involved in a brutal, knock-down drag-out fist fight that lasts no less than ten on-screeen minutes.
  
• The Dave sulks.
  
• The Dave makes his "please don't seduce me" face.
  
• The Dave is cranky.
  
• The Dave is inappropriately giddy.

Now, I realise, looking at this, that I could get all of this by watching Angel or Bones, and that's fine, except for the parts that involves Sweets or Cam or Fred or Connor or snoretastic plot arcs about Gormogons or Jasmines. So really what we need is something that already has a great plot, but can be adapted for The Dave without the need to introduce annoying pointless characters who wreck ewverything.

And thus was born: The Dickens/Zombie/The Dave Extravaganza - an entire season of Dickens adaptations containing all the blood, gore and zombies that Dickens would have intended if he had been alive when the Evil Dead movies came out. Nicholas Zombilby, Zombie Expectations, Bleak Zombie, Zombie Twist, A Zombie of Two Cities, the Zombie Tollbooth - the possibilities are varied and marvellous.

Also I think Lindsey should be in it, because I just watched Dead End and I had forgotten how entertaining his big gay unrequited crush on Angel was. And really, if there was ever anyone who deserved to get savaged by zombies, it was... well, actually it was Gavin, because he REALLY sucked, but watching terrible things happen to Lindsey was a key aspect of Angel in my house. Also, Leverage is a bit rub and he doesn't get his hand cut off or ANYTHING, so let's go back to traditional values, where getting in the way of justice means you get your parts cut off. YAY!

I know you were talking bones but I just had to confess something to someone who knows what I'm talking about.

I have the biggest Tom Baldwin crush ever. This is caused by two main things.

1. He cries a lot - I only just realised I like it when men cry!
2. People ALWAYS seem to surprise him and want to talk to him as he's just getting out of the shower with the naked wet look - suits me fine, if fact keep sending them round!

So that's it! - Thank you for listening.

Oh my God, I know! He is so marvellous! Why isn't Joel Gresch in more things? I love how earnest he is, like, about everything. Whether Kyle is talking about a trip to the batting cages or Jordan is describing the fate of mankind, he listens in this completely serious way and then he kind of sits there and considers it before he gives his opinions. BUT AT THE SAME TIME he is totally manly and willing to pistol-whip people if the situation warrants it.

I love how he's always totally suprised when someone interupts him in the shower - you'd think by like, season three he'd have started putting a chair and coffee cups in the bathroom for when Diana/Marco/Kyle/some evils "accidently" interrupt him when he's naked and glistening andandand I'll be in my bunk.

Okay - I'm massively behind on LJ, but that's what happens when life off-line suddenly exists.

*whispers* I still love Bones. {ducks flying zombies}

This, however, made me laugh hysterically. I agree with your list of things for The David to do (well, except the white vest...seriously, no. Just...no.)

Love the Dickens/Zombie idea - hey, if it can happen for Pride and Prejudice, it can happen for...well, anything Dickens wrote, just like you said. :)

I never watched Buffy or Angel, but I do know that, because of Bones, I will follow* The David anywhere (at least for the pilot episode).

*...and I mean that in a totally non-stalker-ish, virtual way. ;D

I think Dickens would have wanted zombies in his stories. Also chainsaws. He was just born too early.
