About Last Night…BONES
October 23, 2015 by Marisa Roffman
Let’s talk aabout Thursday night’s TV!
(And since I’m currently out of the country, this week’s — rare — editions of ALNs will likely consistent entirely of things that had screeners made available before I left.)
BONES: Very mixed feelings about the episode. Loved, loved, loved the Betty White of it all. The spark she brought to the episode (and the obvious joy of the cast who got to work with her) was apparent. And I do hope she comes back.
That being said, Wells’ storyline was just cringe-worthy. A drugged Hodgins was hilarious, but the rest of the subplot just didn’t work for me.
I also go back and forth about Brennan wanting to kill off Agent Andy in her book. The subconscious exploration was interesting, but…Booth just survived a massive ordeal, which included his brother’s death. The book was written before that, in her world, but it just felt extra cruel to the audience given what he’s gone through in the past dozen or so episodes. (Though the meta conversation about why stories kill off characters was A+.)

You really need to see the whole episode…it works and Hodgins is the real winner but Booth’s reaction to Agent Andy is priceless.
@Amanda: I did see the whole episode? I’m not saying Booth’s reaction to the situation wasn’t hilarious. It just felt a little too soon — it’s not like she had him retire/leave/whatever.
Betty White was a gem
humor is subjective but damn I didn’t find that funny looking at you Hodgins and Oliver. Did we really have to hear about his limp you know what…really show?!
Also? get Booth back in the interrogation room….pity sake Aubrey DOES NOT have to be in every FBI scene.
I don’t think its too much to ask to see Booth do HIS JOB. Booth must be the least hard working FBI agent, he never wants to do any interrogations, for god sake lock him that room, make him work.
Booth & Brennan use to close the cases together in the final interrogation…now guess what its Aubrey AGAIN!!! He has took over every damn scene the show needs to refocus back on B&B as partners
or rename the show Aubrey then I can quit watching, the obsession that this show has with putting him in every other scene is a total turn off
Also, when is Booth going to interact with Angela? they never speak….its like Booth and the squints aren’t even friends…start giving them some storylines together too.
I agree that Brennan killing of Booths Agent Andy was too much to soon, why not have him retire due to heroic injuries??? but death?!….the man has nearly died, his brother just died and now this….how did Brennan think he was going to react? And she is so clueless until someone else has to put her straight about it aka Betty
Also? I really want Michael Peterson to explain to me why Bones needs TWO FBI agents…Aubrey completely takes away from Booth’s contribution to the case and the show, it makes Booth like he isn’t even an important player anymore, where did the Alpha Male go?……why don’t we get another bugman or facial reconstructor or another full time Antro…why not? if Booth has to job share why doesn’t then the others? why does Booths scenes have to get taken off him and given to Aubrey…I thought David was the lead? or is he part-time lead?
Bones worked very well with Brennan as Booths partner, now Brennan doesn’t close the case with Booth anymore its AUBREY AUBREY AUBREY…She hasn’t did ONE interrogation with Booth since last season… I am sick to death of Aubrey, he has taken over and ruining this show FOR ME
*rant over*
