Pony Play and Hypnosis

Leave it to Fox to feature both hypnosis and pony play in one TV episode.

Earlier tonight Bill was watching a recently TiVoed episode of Bones. Usually I don't watch this show because it's pretty revolting and CSI-ish (rotting bodies with disgusting things crawling around in eye sockets, etc.), but I admit "Back in the Saddle" caught my attention about 10-11 minutes into the show. At that point we note that Bones and her FBI partner are investigating a murder that may have occurred at the Ambassadora Bed & Breakfast. The interesting part? The Ambassadora caters to those who engage in adult pony play.

I'd comment on my impressions of this episode, but I think I'll wait a couple of days and give those who missed it the opportunity to watch it first. AOL offers a link that allows for online viewing. (You have to put up with commercials - sorry. I couldn't find it anywhere else except for the FOX website. That site wants you to install software which requires you to agree to their terms of service without letting you read said terms.) To skip the gore in the beginning and move directly to the first pony play segment, you can move the scroll bar beneath the video window so that you begin watching about 11 minutes into the episode.

In addition to the pony play feature there is also a secondary story-line in which one of the supporting characters is hypnotized to remember the name of the man she married. (Don't ask, I have no idea why she didn't know his name.) The hypnosis segment was small but might prove interesting to those of you who are hypnosis fans.
