BONES Recap: ‘The Nail in the Coffin’

Hey, BONES fans! You know, I was a little bummed when I read the episode description for “The Nail in the Coffin,” because it seemed my guess for the Ghost Killer’s identity (Stephanie McNamara) was incorrect since she was listed as the victim whose death the team would be investigating. But as this episode went on, I realized that not everything was tied up so neatly, and I couldn’t be happier. I thought this episode was suspenseful and intricate and supremely focused on the case. I liked it.

Hello BONES fans! How did you like this episode, “The Cold in the Case”? I liked it very much. It was great to see Shohreh Aghdashloo guest starring (as Arastoo Vasiri’s mother), and I enjoyed the way the nature of the victim’s remains stumped the team (even though the episode promos and descriptions sort of gave it away). The “less than perfectly wrapped up” vibe of the end B&B scene was freshly intriguing as well. Let’s discuss the details!

Hey BONES fans! It’s time to discuss another episode, this one called “The Turn in the Urn.” And there certainly was a turn in the usual events when the case started with a presumed victim, Todd, walking (and alive) from his own home at his own funeral. Good times! There is a lot more to discuss, so let’s get to it.

Hey BONES fans, let’s welcome the show back to Monday nights! How did you like this episode, “The Source in the Sludge,” with Freddie Prinze Jr. reprising his role as CIA agent Danny Beck? I liked it for the most part; the case was interesting with compelling suspects and a sympathetic victim, the squint interactions were plausible, and the bicker/banter/work balance for Booth and Brennan was just right. Let’s discuss!

Hello BONES fans! How did you like this episode, “Big in the Philippines”? I really enjoyed it; it was a great blend of a case and the characters’ personal lives. I applaud David Boreanaz for his (once again) great directing and acting, and Emily Deschanel and Michael Grant Terry for their work as Brennan and Wendell in this episode. And any episode that ends with a B&B slow dance is good by me. There’s a lot to discuss, so let’s get to it!

Comments Off on ENLISTED: Geoff Stults on Pete’s PTSD, Jill, and Why You Should Keep Watching
Hello ENLISTED fans! (And hello to those of you who are still considering whether or not to give this show a chance!) I’ll admit, I thought the show and network’s decision to invite viewers to point out some mistakes in the pilot was bold and risky. Hopefully, the honest move will pay off, and viewers will continue to give the show a chance to prove itself. While I enjoyed the pilot, I am hoping viewers enjoy the next three episodes as much as I did.
On a recent conference call with series lead Geoff Stults (Sgt. Pete Hill), he gave us some insight on the show’s brotherly love (with Chris Lowell’s Derrick Hill and Parker Young’s Randy Hill), Pete’s struggle with PTSD, a possible love interest in Angelique Cabral’s Jill, and a few more reasons why fans should stick around for more of the ARMY-inspired comedy…
BONES Recap: ‘The Ghost in the Killer’

Filed under Bones
Hello BONES fans and happy 2014 to you! How did you like this episode, “The Ghost in the Killer”? To me, it felt a lot like a season premiere. There was a lot of exposition to bring people back up to speed (or perhaps introduce Pelant, etc. to new Friday viewers) and there wasn’t really a resolution to the case; instead, this episode set up an arc involving a new serial killer. Let’s discuss!
BONES Recap: ‘The Spark in the Park’

Hello BONES fans! I hope you are having some happy holidays. As you likely know, this episode, “The Spark in the Park,” is the last new one until 2014, and I’m happy to say I enjoyed this it very much. Pardon the gymnastics reference, but first-time BONES ep writer Emily Silver and veteran director Chad Lowe nailed this episode in terms of style, content, and execution. Interestingly enough, it felt like an old episode of BONES — primarily in the way Booth acted, positively and negatively. More on that later, but first, let’s discuss the case.
