Ok really late here, but I am just catching up on a lot of last seasons shows.   Upto season 5 of Bones, and maybe it's because of having watched the last 4 season in about 2months instead of 5 years, but I found something that I find really weird.  In the first couple of seasons (especially the first) it was shown and talked about, especially by Brennan, how she was was very proficient in martial arts, being trained in 3 different styles, has worked in many 3 world countries, been to Iraq and other "hot spots" in the middle east, and has stood up to many violent, aggressive people in the show's run  In this episode she is attacked by a chubby doctor with a scalpel .  She should have kicked his butt, but instead she cowers and runs and gets stabbed.

I don't like this, I enjoyed her being tough.

It was a good return, granted I had only to wait for less than a week since I finished the last season.  Well unlike the beginning of 5, Bones was tough again, loved watching her kick not only 1 person's butt, but kicking 3 of em.  Alot in the episode, and I felt they brought it in very good.

Regarding Lance's new look, from the previews of next week's show he looks clean shaven, what a shame, I kinda liked the 'Piano Player" look.  Speaking of looks, I don't know if it is the straighter hair or what, but something about Brennan's look feels off to me

sanggye

I don't know if Bones handled it well, she has a hard time with expressing her feelings, especially to herself.  You can see some of the sadness and jealousy she has (good acting there)  Hannah at least admits she has some jealousy and is trying to work it though by admitting it.

Relating to the murder, it was too simple, I saw it right away, not the reason, but who done it.

I agree, Booth and Hannah might last the season, though I doubt it.  More as Bones starts realizing that she missed out and Booth, once the flames of passion and adrenalin start cooling down, either Hannah or Booth are going to get antsy (my guess is Hannah)

sanggye

My favorite parts were the beginning and the end    The whole perfect murder conversation was great, especially with her response to Booth's "i always catch my man".  And her coming out in the tutu, skeleton outfit and cartoonish gloves.

The show will be back in 3 weeks (November 4th)

Yes, I agree Barb about both the humor and like we mentioned before, Bone's being able to kick butt  

sanggye

I agree kellemanske, Angela asking her seemed to be the clincher.

sanggye

I agree, once was somewhat funny, twice would be overkill.  I am also getting tired of the revolving interns (just hire someone), I miss Zach

sanggye

I also kinda liked how Hannah and Bones are building a connection and somewhat of a friendship.  Though, I kinda agree that the cop story is going to be trouble, but I still think it won't be death, don't think setting Booth up with a close death would be good for the show.

Didn't notice anything between hodgins and angela, I think their interactions with everyone else was normal, and except for the scene with Hodgins on the plastic, they weren't shown together.  I just think the writer for this episode just didn't focus on any other relationships other than Hannah and Booth and Hannah and Bones.  Most of it the episode was done outside the lab.

sanggye

It's not that they are not attracted to each other, that came out for sure in the last season.  They are heavily into each other, most of last season was Booth realizing that he was in love with Bones, and Bones even said she felt for him, but she is not a gambler like he is and needed a sure thing (I think she knows a casual relationship would be out of the picture with Booth).  You have to remember that Bones looks at sex and relationships much differently, very logically  And they did get together once (pre-show, in a flashback) which is why the book that Sweets wrote ended up just being trashed

Yea the skeleton thing was cool, but what ever happened to the Angelator from the first couple seasons (the holographic thingie, ) I miss that

sanggye

That was really precise about the death-knell aspect of romance of two main characters, thanks Barb.

I am pretty sure for the last couple seasons, all the simulations have all been on monitors, one episode Hodgkins did a big wooo, look at the size of that screen, thing.

sanggye

This episode had a lot of heart, much more than the last couple and seem to touch on all the cast, Daisy & Sweets, Angela & Hodgins, Booth with getting old, Bones just being logical & hot, Camille with her ancestors.  Well Written

Bones getting hit on as a cougar and Sweets getting hit on by the cougars was hilarious, and seeing Booth getting jealous of it, because he was too "old", then he brandished the napkin which was never mentioned but most likely had the one woman's number.    Also liked seeing Angela get into the zone with resurrecting the slaves images.

sanggye

Alright episode, brought back Nigel, so that's makes all the interns for this season, he is just as irritating as ever.  The murder in chocolate was pretty interesting.  Hodgins finally making the baby announcement, Cam being too controlling in her mothering.  Outside of these, it was a decent episode, nowhere near the best, just middling in my opinion

sanggye

Bones still trying to keep a good attitude about the Booth/Hannah relationship.

sanggye

Yea I am really hoping she doesn't become a full-time cast member, would really prefer the intern shift over that

sanggye

I agree Barb, I think it will come up again and probably again.  I liked this episode, though it was a little odd to me.  Brennan, I could see talking to the dead girl, though it is highly unlikely, especially hearing them talk back, because it is completely illogical.  Also, i like the Night Watchman, but this "sudden" friendship between the two (I know he has worked there for years, we just never seen him before), Bones joking and understanding his jokes, when 3/4 of the time she is clueless when someone is not logical, was completely out of character.  And she has always made the distinction betweem "hard" Science (her work) and the "soft" science (psychology, sociology and philosophy) but here she is listening to someone who is not a scientist in any way (he attends lectures) but sprouts philosophy and pyschology and she doesn't even shudder let alone argue (like she does with Sweets)

sanggye

But the friendship with the night watchman didn't start in the episode (within the 3 days), according to the familiarity and words of the two.  He came right in a plopped the food right down on the table next to where she was working, like he has done it a thousand times, and she easily took what he offered.

sanggye

Don't think he was a figment of her imagination, though the thought crossed my mind
