If you thought George R.R. Martin had a monopoly on shocking character deaths, guess again.
In reality, killing off your faves is a tried-and-true tradition in TV. At worst, it's the result of a cynical ratings grab or behind-the-scene turmoil. But even when that's not the case, it can still be a controversial practice. Death is a part of everyday life and deserves to be treated as such, yet certain shows are better equipped to handle the topic than others. For example, medical dramedies like "M*A*S*H" and "Scrubs" were particularly well-suited to the task, seeing as their characters had to deal with people dying on their watch weekly. Likewise, the heroes in Fox's long-running crime procedural "Bones" spent their days, in a figurative sense, speaking to and trying to better understand the dead.
Still, as difficult as it can be for those watching at home to say...

"Bones" came along at just the right time to fill the hole left by "The X-Files." Chris Carter's semi-cult hit sci-fi horror investigation series wrapped up its original run on Fox in 2002, with nine seasons, a movie, and just over 200 episodes under its belt. Three years later, Hart Hanson would debut his own procedural on the network, with Emily Deschanel starring as the fact-minded forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan opposite David Boreanaz as the more emotional FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. It didn't take a stretch to draw a line between the duo and "X-Files" FBI agents Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), from their near-identical personalities and dynamic to their evolution from platonic buddy team to romantic duo.
Since there was no point in delaying the inevitable, Hanson acknowledged the elephant in the room right off the bat. At one point in his and...

The Fox series "Bones" ran for an impressive 12 seasons, from 2005-2017. It starred David Boreanaz as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth and Emily Deschanel as Temperance "Bones" Brennan, a forensic anthropologist. The two characters spent years working together on some difficult and tragic cases, but that doesn't mean the show didn't have its lighter moments. In the season 3 finale, "The Pain in the Heart," Bones believes that Booth had been shot and killed at the end of the previous episode. When she finds out that he didn't die, she bursts into his bathroom while he's in the tub to confront him.
Booth isn't just having a regular bath, however. He's smoking a cigar and drinking from a beer hat with a bandage on his chest. You know, just your average day. His explanation for the beer hat? "Hot tub plus cold beer equals warm beer. Hat equals solution." I mean,...

The power couple of Bones and Booth sure experienced their fair share of gruesome deaths, explosive confrontations, and a whole lot of will-they/won't-they romantic tension throughout all 12 seasons of the hit procedural "Bones." When the series finally came to a close in 2017, after over 200 episodes and a decade of consistently sky-high ratings, fans braced themselves for a wistful and dramatic end. Of course, that season-long conclusion involved a highly-anticipated wedding between forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz), a formidable killer with ties going all the way back to season 1, and the deadly bombing of the show's central headquarters: the Jeffersonian Institute Medico-Legal Lab.

It's both exciting and heartbreaking to know that Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 12 is the penultimate installment of the series.
As thrilled as I am to get answers to this sin eater mystery, and as hopeful as I am to see Temperance's curse finally broken, it's difficult not to be disappointed in all the plot lines and character arcs that feel incomplete.
And worse to know that this is the end of our relationship with the Drew Crew.
For several episodes now, no one has even mentioned Temperance or her death curse. We know that's what's keeping Ace and Nancy apart, but it almost feels like the show has forgotten as it's found other ways to drive a wedge between our favorite couple.
The first three installments of the season were amazing, but we haven't had a satisfying romantic moment between Nancy and Ace since Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 3.
That montage was epic!

Nancy Drew has the most horrible luck when it comes to love.
Her former boyfriend, Owen, was killed. Then Ace died during her hallucination and then fell under Temperance's death curse.
And now on Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 10 Nancy shot Tristan with a crossbow and almost killed him.
Oh, and we failed to mention that Tristan is actually a sin eater and, even without the poison arrow, is still fated to die before he's 30 years old.
To think that Nancy was attracted to the gorgeous lobsterman because she thought he was uncomplicated. The Universe definitely has a sick sense of humor.
One of the only low points of this installment was that there was far too much Tristan. Yes, the guy has the most adorable eyes I've ever seen, but he's not Ace, and I'm a diehard Nace shipper.
The more time Tristan is around correlates directly to the...

It's rare when shows last for over a decade that fans are still clamoring for more, but that's been the case for Bones since it wrapped its 12-season run in 2017.
Thankfully, series creator Hart Hanson isn't ruling out the possibility of the David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel procedural drama staging a comeback.
"We are in contact with each other," he told Variety on Friday as cast members and creatives from the series reunited for a WGA picket at Fox Studios.
"Everybody on Bones is in contact with each other. At separate times, it's like, 'What are you doing? What's the availability?'"
When Bones Season 12 wrapped in 2017 on Fox, the ratings were still strong, so it's likely viewers would welcome a comeback season.
Unfortunately, getting a new season off the ground could be difficult.
"Fox broadcast Bones, but Disney now bought 20th, so they own [the show]," he said.

It’s just convenient that the slime, which by now has mixed with Horseshoe Bay’s reservoir and even made its way to homes across town, is taking its own sweet time to take effect. Meanwhile, another situation involving a demon arises that Nancy has to deal with on top of trying to break Temperance’s curse that is keeping her from Ace. Episode 3 of Nancy Drew is all about Nancy and her friends trying to do their best to manage the supernatural. And that isn’t easy.

The Doll
The Plagonnia Doll gains the spotlight in Episode 3 of Nancy Drew Season 4. On the one hand, it allows the Thenellis demon to take control of a kid named Avery, who is bent on killing George’s sister Jesse and her friend Birdie. On the other hand, it has the ability to break the curse that keeps Ace and Nancy apart.

There are times when being a TV reviewer is a very cool job. Like today, when I got to watch Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 3 ahead of everyone else.
Yup, you can hate me later. But with only a grand total of 11 installments in the final season, these writers are packing a lot into each one.
So, if waiting for Wednesday night is just too much for you, and the anticipation is too distracting, I've got you covered with a little something to get you through.
Here are some highlights to look forward to from "The Danger of the Hopeful Sigil."
Fair warning, if you want to remain completely spoiler-free, you need to Stop Reading Now! You've been warned.
In this episode, Nancy, Ace, and the entire Drew Crew take breaking this love curse seriously. They're all in, but Temperance's handiwork isn't about to make this easy.
