McGee gets the A- and B-plot and still he's just... there. Voss actor did the heavy lifting.

I was struck by the difference in their hand sizes when they fist bumped.

Voss actor was the Worm Boy for years and years on "Bones."  Only interesting thing about the episode really.

Which previous episode was Fletcher Voss in?  

Blood types: "Universal donor" usually refers to type O or specifically O-, but it's not rare, about 7% of the population.  If they meant something else, they should have said so.

Fundraising competition:  A friend's employer had a similar competition. My friend's department fundraiser gave out pledge forms but didn't like the results, so he handed the forms back and asked the department members to pledge more.  Most of the employees did not return the forms again.

According to IMDb, S21,E07

The actor also played a character named Carl way back in Season 1

Wow, probably before T.J. Thyne was even cast as "King of the Lab" Jack Hodgins in "Bones" for it's 12 year stint.

Yes, he played the Assistant Warehouse Manager next door to the recruiting office that got shot by a sniper

I swear they just don't know how to write for McGee. When did they make his character so boring? Maybe it's me( or the coffee) but the only character with any real  life to their acting is Kasie.  It may not have been a fan favorite but at least Knight/Palmer romance was slightly interesting.

This show has really fallen a long way. It needs...something. I thought Gary Cole breathed a bit of life into it a few years ago but now it seems the whole cast is phoning it in.

According to IMDb, he was in a lot of episodic tv I used to watch back then, but he’ll always be Hodgins to me. He even worked with David prior to Bones, having a 3-episode spot on Angel.

Off the Air but still fighting the good fight.

Kasie takes over McGee's fundraiser, and immediately mentions Sydney.

But then later on, you see her whiteboard.....  with a few familiar names.

Jane Tennant

Callen G. (and Kensi!!)

and even Dwayne Pride!!!!!!!!

Nice to see these agents still fighting the good fight.

As a regular blood donor, I felt Jimmy’s pain at all that lost blood.

[nitrofishblue]

I have given 4 1/2  GALLONS (72 pints) of blood over the years. I actually gave plasma. That is where you  give a pint of whole blood. They spin it to      separate the white cells from the red. They then put the red cells back and take another pint of red. Again they put the red cells back. They use the white cells (plasma) to make something that helps patients with hemophilia and sickle cell. My late stepson was a hemophiliac and was helped by this program. Remember you are helping many people old and young by donating!!!!!!
