BONES is Back…It’s About Time

Seeleybaby is back and taking care of BONES for us.  Make sure you show her the love as she covered not one but two episodes last night.  First up is “Double Trouble in the Panhandle” and then “Fire in the Ice”. Welcome back Seeleybaby and GMMR’s BONES fans.

Double Trouble in the Panhandle

It’s good to be back with BONES, isn’t it? I have to admit, I cringed a few times thinking about what this episode would be like, but I was pleasantly surprised. And I think I might be slightly in like with Mr. Vincent Nigel-Murray. But let’s talk about the episode. As Wanda Moosejaw would say, “prepare to be amazed”.

THE CASE:
The skeletons of conjoined twins, Julie and Jenny are found, and Booth and Brennan eagerly go undercover to determine how they were murdered. I thought it was going to be the doctor. Yikes.

THE SQUINTS:

• Cam:When Cam is having fun, she is fun. When she is annoyed, I find her annoying. She was good this episode, and I loved her interaction with my man Vinnie, and I loved her excitement about the webcam.

• Angela: She was good and artsy in the ep, and I liked how she created the scenarios for possible deaths. Is it just me, or does it seem like Angela has backed off on the B+B stuff? This episode was ripe with opportunity, but she didn’t really see it. Hmm…come on, Ange…we need you! How else is Brennan going to catch up to her own reality?

• Hodgins: Once he got the image out of his head, he was fairly useful to the case. Or did he actually ever get the image out of his head? Hard to tell.

• Sweets: Sweets was adopted. I don’t think we knew that. He also has a wealth of knowledge about carnival life. But I really wish he would stop stating the obvious. Which really means I wish the writers would stop having him state the total obvious, especially when it comes to Booth and Brennan.

• Mr. Vincent Nigel-Murray: What can I say? I want him to live near me. I want him to spout off fun facts all the time. I loved it. If we’re choosing faves for squint of the week, he’s absolutely my number once choice. I loved when he thanked Angela ‘ever so much’ for the question.

BOOTH & BRENNAN:
They make a good team, inside the tent and out. While I think I prefer Tony and Roxie, Buck and Wanda also had charm. Classic B+B ‘bickering’, which is the engine of the show. Brennan was certainly impressed with Booth’s knife throwing, and she LOVED the adoration of the crowd, didn’t she? I found it interesting that she was so sad about the end of the charade. It felt a little off that she was the one loving the pretending, and that Booth was the realist, but, whatever. Not too much in the way of romantic stuff, unless you count the fact that they, you know…spent the night together in the motor home of love. And apparently slept so soundly they didn’t hear a circus up and leave. Ookay….

Booth’s ongoing hate (not fear, there’s a difference) of clowns was also a good time. Also his extensive knowledge of hair products was super.

Favorite Line…
Booth: “You’re clowns, right? I throw knives!”

Fire in the Ice

Hey, remember when Sully sailed off into the sunset and we all thought that would be the last of any obstacle between Booth and Brennan (besides themselves, of course)? Hmmm….and what about all that Booth vs. Sweets action! Intense. I liked the episode very much, and I’m anxious to hear your thoughts.

THE CASE:
The episode opens with Booth (and weekly squint, Wendell) playing some intense hockey. Booth gets sent to the penalty box, and Brennan rightly figures that he doesn’t like that much. Booth gets physical against a rival player, but when that man ends up dead a month later, Booth becomes a suspect. And for the record, being an FBI agent would be kind of easy if all murderers confessed, just like that.

THE SQUINTS:

• Cam: So Cam the roughness of the hockey. And she also kept figuring out ways Booth could be the murderer, but she didn’t really mean to. I did really like the way she stood up to Caroline when the DA was interrogating Hodgins and Wendell (They’re Booth’s people, btw. Me too).

• Angela: Okay…I’ve had some time to think about it, and I’ve decided that I’m ready for Angela and Hodgins to either be together, or not, ever. Enough already.

• Hodgins: I think Hodgins might actually like Wendell okay, and I liked the way he kind of took the new guy under his wing. Wendell’s probably good for a couple of experiments, and hey…can’t pass up a photo op. I laughed when Hodgins’ thunder got stolen by other members of the team.

• Sweets: Dr. Sweets…I am not sure how I feel about him right now. I don’t care for his methods of what I consider to be experimenting with Booth and Brennan. He is lucky twice now that Booth hasn’t punched him in the face. I think he’s probably right about Booth, but…his methods, I do not like. What do you think?

• Mr. Wendell Bray: A good squint of the week. I liked when he was gathering blood samples during the hockey game. Very loyal to Booth and Brennan at the same time. That was fun. And I liked his interactions with Hodgins.

BOOTH & BRENNAN:
I haven’t said anything yet about Agent P. What I don’t like is that I actually kind of liked her. Booth liked her, that much was obvious. Brennan…not so much. There really wasn’t much throughout the episode of Booth and Brennan, but the end made up for it. I’m 100% convinced now that Brennan has a crush on Booth. But I’m afraid he might be over her. Please, tell me I am wrong, will you? I think he still cares about her, but…I just don’t have a good feeling about this. I liked Booth’s little hockey heaven sequence, and I thought Brennan’s line “I get nervous when you fall down and don’t get up” was very telling. But…Booth tells me to forget about Agent P, that he’s never going to make Brennan fall. Okay…okay, I’ll keep trusting. Everything happens eventually. And Eventually has to be sometime, right?

Favorite Line…
Brennan: “I got the soup from the place, and yes, I told ‘Mama’ that it was for you, especially.”

Ha! You just KNOW Booth is a regular charmer all over town, right?
