For most of tonight’s episode, the mummified motif present in our case of the week (which, despite being set at the Jeffersonian and involving mummies and international intrigue, seemed even more trivial than the past few weeks’) seemed overly appropriate. The whole “Brennan dates someone else” plot line seemed sort of ridiculous two seasons ago; […]
You have no idea how relieved I am to be typing this: I REALLY enjoyed tonight’s Bones. Don’t get me wrong, it was by no means a perfect episode (the 007-ness was a bit hoaky for me), but it made me happy. The final Booth/Brennan scene almost made up for all of the push and […]
I wish I could say that the Bones premier erased all my doubts about that damn finale. I really wanted it to. I feel like all I do of late is hate on this show, which is sad, because it’s probably the show that I am the most invested in. I think my number one problem […]
**If I could have written a worse case scenario for how the writers of Bones would deal with all they promised us for this finale, it might go something like this: extended dream sequence for 55 minutes, cut to the hospital room, Booth has amnesia.

I’m as loyal a Bones viewer as any, having watched it since it’s premier four years ago, and loved nearly every minute of it, but I’ll be the first to admit the show is flawed. The quality of the writing vacillates wildly between episodes. Take this season. We have some truly brilliantly written episodes, subtly […]
After four episodes of Bones in two weeks, I think I can forgive the show that this past one felt a little… empty. It’s not that it was a bad episode, it didn’t have me cringing or wanting to write angry emails to Hart Hanson, it was just lacking either the goofy or profound heights […]
Last week, when I realized a day late that Bones had an extra episode on Wednesday as well as our regularly scheduled Thursday, it was like a gift from the television gods. This week, when I discovered, again a day late, that Bones had an extra episode on Monday all I could think was -WHAT?! […]
Wow. Just when, a few episodes ago, I was ready to write off this season of Bones as missing the pop and verve of previous seasons, the past few episodes have been amazing. I’ll admit it, though, as my one caveat, that I am true and through a sucker for Booth and Brennan stuff (when […]
