The Return of BONES: One Week & Counting

What is happening, BONES watchers! Are you as excited as I am for new BONES episodes? We are now just one week from an all new episode. One Week!

When our show does return, it’s going to be back on Thursday nights. A very crowded Thursday night TV schedule, so we are going to need everyone to watch.

To get everyone excited I thought I would share a little recap on what’s gone on this season so far. And if you’re interested in finding out what’s coming up in the next few new episodes, then continue reading after the jump.

The Cases…
They’ve been okay this season, but they’ve taken a backseat to the relationships on the show. But you gotta give BONES chops. They’ve managed to cover dog fighting, transgenderism, the world of the stuffy English and a body in an airplane microwave. It’s no “Aliens in a Spaceship”, but I’m not complaining.

The Squints…
Zack never killed a guy, and only Sweets knows it. Sweets has been on top of his game this season, but no one is listening. Except maybe Angela. But is she listening to her heart or her hurt? And Hodgins…He’s lost his best friend and his girl, but he’s trying to stay cool. Cam’s keeping it all together, for the most part, and showing she’s a good friend to Booth these days. Also in the mix is a revolving door of wannabe squints/grad students.

Booth & Brennan…
They are still themselves, somehow misunderstanding one another, yet still knowing each other best. They are getting closer, and it’s interesting to me that both seem to be taking risks where the other is concerned. I’m happy with their continued progression.

How do you think the season has gone thus far?  Are you excited for the show to come back?

Here’s what’s coming up over the next few weeks on BONES.  STOP READING if you don’t want to be SPOILED!
