*The He in She* an episode of Bones

[lobolance]

Wow. I just watched this week's Bones.  I do in general love the show, and still I was completley surprised. This episode focused on a murdered woman pastor... who turned out to have been born male; toss in fundamentalist money mongering for full effect. :-) And the whole thing was really well handled... from the confusion on pronouns, to the wonderful clear desire of the main characters to be really respectful of the woman who died, to a cool little scene with the shrink throwing out even the idea that 'trans' could be spiritual. As well as a nice subplot with the pastor's son.

And then as the capper, the music at the end was by, I am sure, Antony. This episode meant something to someone there... someone connected enough to know of the singer. Damn. Hats off all around.

Just saw this episode on Hulu. You're right, it was really handled well and respectfully. Thanks for pointing me towards it.
