Jasper thanks. I really liked Finn, I think he has great potential and Im sure theyll be great lab geek pals with Hodgins. In saying that, after watching a video of HH at the Paley fest. November 11th, 2011 5:20 pm, TinkonBrink on Then when asked by her best friend about not having Booth there, she gives a reply of I wouldnt care. about not being there or told about it in person. During lunch at the diner, Booth tells Brennan that Tina's stage name was Tina "The Python" Thomas. I really hope the writers take note and dont ruin this tv-series for us. The Victim: Tina "Python" Thomas a professional competitive eater who could dislocate her jaw and swallow food like a python. I hope to heck something good will come out of this and that well see some sort of spark again between these two. Youre right what in the world? The writers are totally screwing with b&bs relationship and it really sucks. Which right now is making me feel pretty glad. The negative reaction from critics and fans was overwhelming and ratings suffered. Wouldnt that have been an easy callback to talk about their little girl in her lab in the treehouse? I dont understand why Cam wouldnt have asked Booth to do the background check instead of putting Angela into that position. Again, I ask, who was the Brennan in this episode, Who is this woman. What are you doing? I guess maybe Brennan reads while Booth watches sports. The excuse of she (Brennan ) is learning is tired and no longer works.. I agree its hard to watch Brennen have to work to understand Booth on this level, but it is a true representation. But this new Booth, well, he didnt even really have a reaction to finding out he was having a girl anyway. The gross gaging is part of it all if you havent noticed bones do have episodes like that early on its what makes the show. (I mean that in a good way). JASPER- I watched a few of your videos this weekend. Why is he offering up additional, non-relevent info about a colleague up to a suspect? Please, people, act like you love each other. Especially the nature of itand HOW, after the indeed, literal walking in his shoes, did she figure out that she should have included Booth in things? Again- inconsistancies are killing this show. My Verdict: Im not a fan of hot dog eating competitions, so this case was a squeamish no for me all around. Only, this time, acceptance is not going to happen. And I know I am not in the mirority. Maybe I am Brennan and just clueless but it seems like I am not alone by reading other fan comments. When Hannah left, we had roughly half a season that could have been spent watching B&B deal with the impact of Hannah and grow closer to each other. I think she is still very much guarded and she is letting go little by little as each episode goes by. A review needs highs and lows not just judgement on everything. Finn Abernathy rolls off the tongue. I am sorry that I did not just go to another room and watch Greys because it was so good. Thank you so much for writing these reviews. Its amusing to me, but also can be annoying. watching her do this made season 6 brennan such a waste. Instead, we got mad, impervious and a date-burning ceremony. I would rather see them not officially be a couple and be in love than whatever the heck is happening so far this season. THANK YOU, thank you for being honest, and.not working for fox. Again- the relationship can be explored in depth and in an adult way with the Bones and Booth we have learned about and watched grow over six seasons. My husband will not even bother watching the show with me. Brennan isnt that dumb. Even though the premiere was decent, this season so far has not restored my faith or love for the show. That was nice, because it took my mind off how horrible the episode was. On other matters, not sure yet what I think of Finn hes okay Want to see more of him. How else do you explain the sudden end to the Hannah storyline. There is no spark between B&B and its not because they are finally together its the poor dialog. Those things cant be blamed on Emily getting pregnant or even on the existence of Hannah. February 18th, 2012 3:35 pm. Probably why the character of Brennan was written the way she was as well. Hopefully before the show ends I can say that it got its spark back. If the shows writers are representing Brennen as a person with Aspergers disorder, then they are spot on. November 11th, 2011 9:39 pm, Anna on It was a highly disappointing episode to me and left me really underwhelmed and that is saying A LOT for me, who usually finds quite a bit in an episode to truly enjoy. November 11th, 2011 4:13 pm, alison tabor on There were many positive views of the episode on this post however, and I choose to be inspired by those. Thoughts from you? My GI Joe doll, My show, My script approval..dont like it, f off. There were no scenes like in the past where all the squints were together in the lab. Have them argue about the case. Brennan is that clinical and cold regarding about rationalizing why she didnt consider asking Booth to go to the ultrasound? Brennans moment with Finn even demonstrated that she has empathy she knew where he was coming from (and I didnt mind that her questions were direct) I mean, I dont think anyone else would have asked those specific questions. Girl, boy, sack of potatoes, shrug, whatever. I can understand the time jump, but if they think this is what people feel they missed out on, it is silly. Shouldnt she be telling this boy to get a haircut instead? Brennan is including her daughter in her work but earlier says she would not care if she had not been told the sex. He has to face hard questions about his past and morality but soon bonds with initially hostile Hodges. Im not ready to write the show off or anything, but Im also not ready to declare it the best season ever. Again, WTF? Hart still has time to once again correct what is wrong with the show. Sothis episode, The Hot Dog in the Competition, had a lot of disgusting, gag-worthy moments. November 11th, 2011 6:28 pm, Alexandra on November 11th, 2011 2:09 pm, Osteon on Not just because he has a Riggins look either! :)). The sad thing is when Bones dwindles down this season there will probably be an outcry of how the Moonlighting Curse killed the show. I personally am not seeing that at all. I dont know about you, but Booth sitting five feet away from Brennan and poking her belly with one finger was just heart-melting. This episode had me constantly confused by the message and the characters. I felt more honest love and affection between Hodgins and that python than I have between B&B this season. That landlady is cold! They are not real people. Fangirls will oooh and aaaah over Boreanaz in his shorts or Brennan doing a John Wayne impersonation minutes (in TV world time) after not understanding why the father of her baby is interested at all in the babys genitalia.. I really expected much more from that end scene. 1 Episode 2013. And worse, clueless regarding Booth, a man she has known and worked with for nearly a decade, a man she loves and is going to have a child with. For too long have they kept the main leads apart and after the disaster that was season 6 we still get this miserable writing. The Lab Results: When Tinas body is moved to the lab, it begins to expand and the missing python comes out from within the abdominal region. Are they out to teach young woman that they cant aspire to be THAT WOMAN without suffering dire consequences, which she must endure if she wants that hunky Alpha Frat Boy to marry her? The writers seem to forget that this is season 7.what do you think happened in seasons 1-6 because theres history with Booth and Brennan! Following a disagreement over the baby, Booth and Brennan attempt a little role . It would be just like Booth to do that the one who said he would take the guy down like a flea. SHALLOW. November 13th, 2011 6:08 pm, Olivia on But whatever, this was just a heavily used smokescreen throughout the entire episode and has no real importance in the grand scheme of the Bones universe (unless he ends up killing them all) I love the journey we are being taken on. Go along with him or leave. Oh God, thank you! Your review is right on the mark! hehe. There are so many things that Brennan should (and has every right to) ask him about (namely Hannah related) but we all know that will never happen because the writers just love to make Booth look perfect. It seems that the creative minds of Bones are now focusing on The Finder. florida department of agriculture license status / dougie vipond partner / dougie vipond partner November 12th, 2011 1:03 pm, Laura L on them. There is clearly a disconnect with the writing of this show. Now would it have killed the writers to just give a wonderful sweet moment between BB going for an ultrasound and finding out the gender of their baby? No. But overall, I still really loved the ep. This was not the worst episode but from what all of the other critics who previewed it, I was expecting much more. who played tina the python'' thomas on bones INTRO OFFER!!! got lost in the mess of this episode. And they are sleeping together according to the shows producers. I really get a chuckle out of the creators saying that the B & B relationship is so organic this season. dont. What seems important to other people might not be as all important to her. It does, however, support my theory that the person on the show that appears to be least in touch with humanity is, in fact, the greatest. My GI Joe doll, My show, My script approval..dont like it, f off.. Brennan and Booths interactions were my least favorite parts of this episode. That the awesome, AMAAAZING news that Booth and Brennan are going to have a baby girl (AHHH!) I know Hart wants to keep tension, but making Bones a complete moron isnt the way to do it. *****Hodgins referred to himself as an ass hat What are your thoughts on Finn, and the way the team reacted to him? Angela seems to be preaching to Brennan. Forgotten. It was her who had the problem and needed to change. What happened to the steep learning curve. There are plenty of sites for fans to go to and a number of critics who enjoyed the episode and the season. And the way each character reacts to him is rather appropriate. Lets start with Caroline. You know, it make one wonder if we are getty crappy episodes because it pisses HH off that the fans tell him and his script writers that they have blown it with the characters. Her claim to fame is that she can eat 65 hot dogs in one sitting, and she once shoved down a 12 inch wiener. But as the case goes on, the team finds out that Tina was looking to bail on a high profile sponsorship. Hodgins and Abernathy will later start a business, on the side, together under the name Opie & Thurston. I think he is going to be a great addition to the team, and I look forward to more of him. Hey, what do you know, I actually followed the case this time! November 12th, 2011 1:22 am, Fred is My Homegirl on However, I completely agree with you on the whole not liking how he affected the other characters thing and the scenes with him in it were heavy-handed. The fans will always have something to gripe about. EVER. November 13th, 2011 11:19 am, eridapo on over the last 6 years. In many cases, those things could have been dealt with quite adequately through a few lines of dialogue or scenes of interaction. So, yes, I hate. Jasper- Yes, that was me. I dont eat hot dogs for the reasons Cam provided for them being so well preserved (unless I can find preservative-free ones). would put up with Brennan. Actor: The Good Lord Bird. Instead, we got mad, impervious and a date-burning ceremony. The cold, dead corpse of Daisy It was lovely of her to get a dvd of the ultra-sound for Booth, but I couldnt help thinking how much better it would have been if he had been invited to see it first hand so she wouldnt have to apologize yet again. I enjoyed the episode. d. the mother of all fights- the airing out of six seasons of feelings (OMG the possiblities) So her character development this season so far has not been great. At this rate, Brennan will be pre-season one soon. Thurston Howell III is a very pretentious millionaire who expects certain standards to be respected even when stranded on an island. Sarah I agree with you! And yes the empathy thing? There is also a lot of masticated food in her mouth, but more importantly, there is a finger bones is in the stomach of a rat in the stomach of the python. Sarah on damage may be beyond repair. @WTM When Hannah left, we had roughly half a season that could have been spent watching B&B deal with the impact of Hannah and grow closer to each other. @Caroline type in Bones Paley Center What a Punk, the video is about 4 minutes and a few seconds long. D. Sweets, my dear little duck, referred to the baby as the little girl Brennan is carrying.that just weirded me out. Maybe this is reflected as to how he wrote Brennan last season for rejecting Booth. Just for laughs? November 12th, 2011 1:50 am, TinkonBrink on This is especially true for Hodgins, who immediately resented Finns fishing-hole approach. The lessons learned by both Booth & Brennan (about themselves and about each other) seem to be built and dismantled so many times (for the sake of a resetto prolong the tension) that all the beauty has been sucked out of the journey and it renders any subsequent milestones meaningless and without heart. Ill stick with Caslte. It was another lesson for Brennan to learn. I had no problems with the concept of Hannah because I was hoping that we would get to see Brennan and Booth realizing that they were one for the other. Oh God, how I wish that this is the case, that they know this is not going to work for this show. We now have Opie and Thurston although Finns extreme Southern euphemisms were kind of wearing on me. I never thought Id think that Booth seemed happier with Hannah last year than he does with Brennan this year, but I do. I dont know WTF the writers are doing to Brennans character and how she interacts with Booth. The film concerns a genetically engineered . The case is that of a female eating competitions champion, whose corpse is being eaten from the inside by a live snake. As for Brennan, its just a classic case of Brennan. Gotta say I found the episode disappointing. There is no online registration for the intro class Terms of usage & Conditions But then, for me, last season for the most part, made no sense. a. The only way it could have been more so is if shed walked to their closet and put on a pair of his Vans. Actually to give credit where credit is due, Emily chimed in when David was giving a very detailed and serious comment to the question posed by Andrea. I love the show. Ugh. Vanessa- I am always interested in the men/hubby take on this show when they are fans too. I agree with you Sarah, the writers need to keep the tension between B&B by resorting to the same tire arguments of seasons past ruins any good scene later in the episode. I like the actors on the show so I dvr and watch later but sometimes I just turn off the episode. Thats when I decided to leave and take BONES off of my TiVo. And when Brennan figures out that Tina was pregnant and quitting competitive eating, Tinas manager, Brian Tobin becomes a suspect. I feel his pain. In season six, she (and we who watched) carefully navigated different levels of partnership, relationships and introspection, lowered that wall, and declared herself strong. LITERAL. i was disappointed to see brennan act that way towards booth in this episode, when in season 6, she seemed to be attuned to booths feelings. Brennan (Ive never earned a B in my life!) Heh I was totally on the other end of the spectrum. November 13th, 2011 11:43 pm, mugee007 on well, i was happy for them too.. i just feel bad for booth. The crime was somewhat more interesting than last weeks, it felt like it had a beggining, alittle investigation and an end. So we start with the Booth & Brennan pastryroll it out until its perfect.
