The thing here is a bit confusing, I don't really know why I don't like it. I've seen a few episodes on tv, but only when I happen to find it by chance, and have nothing better to see, then I watch it, because it's not bad, and I like the characters of Grace and her best friend Rhetta, but all in all is not very captivating. Maybe because she's so loud, or maybe because I don't like certain pranks, I think there's nothing funny in having a man believe that someone he knows has hanged themselves. I think it's bad taste, not funny. I know about black humor, but it's not always funny. It can be, but not always. Other pranks were not so extreme, and yet I never found them particularly funny, no.
I don't know if that's why I don't care for it, I only know that I don't .

Psych - the series, in general
I have no details about seasons or episodes' titles, because I only watched two episodes on tv and thought it was stupid, and I didn't like it at all. There's this guy who pretends to have psychic abilities to help the police solve crimes, but instead he apparently is a great observer, or something like that, call it luck if you want, it's probably more correct. He works with his best friend, and the two of them act like idiots all the time, worse that if they were 10.
I see on IMDB they've done 8 seasons!! I guess it must have some good points, maybe people find it funny, maybe the characters evolve with times, I don't know. I only know that after two episodes I was so fed up with them, I had no interest at all in seeing 'em again!!
Il marito - 1958
An italian, black and white film, with one of Italy's all times' best actors: Alberto Sordi.
Elena and Alberto get married, move to their new house, and troubles starts away. I must admit that in just ten minutes time, I already despised all the female characters in this film: the wife, her sister, her mother, his sister... stupid, selfish and with such and overbearing attitute... aaargh. Anyway. Elena fires the young pretty maid who never wears a bra to avoid temptations to her husband, and starts acting all annoying: it seems a collections of all the things that in bad jokes men say about wives. Ball-chain and stuff.
He can't go out with his friends anymore, he can't go to the stadium to his his favourite football team play (soccer), she calls him during work-hours for futile motives, causing him troubles. She invites her mother and her sister to live with them without consulting with him first, and only thinks about spending money or finding a husband for her sister. Really, dreadful, unbearable. There's a bit of italian philosophy, when pointing out that if a man could steal from the state, he must be a smart one. There's his sister, who's always nagging "you're so lucky, give us some money" not troubling at all to find out if he's really so lucky and wealthy. He's not doing very well at work, and they all made things much worse.
When a con-man pretends to be interested in a relationship with her sister, Alberto is sure he's only aiming at selling him a new car, but Elena and her mother don't listen to him: of course after selling him his car, the man disappears, leaving the girl alone. The last straw for poor Alberto arrives with a wealthy widow, who might save his firm with her money. The widow keeps flirting with Alberto, so he goes out with her trying to talk business but his sister-in-law sees him and tells everything to Elena. Alberto was supposed to go on a trip with the widow, confident to close the deal, but at that point he gets a phone call saying his wife is feeling really bad; he's worried sick, runs to the hospital and hears an angry doctor saying how she wasted his time, being completely healthy as she is. Alberto understands what happened, how they planned it, causing him to loose the deal, meaning the widow's money help, causing his firm to fail.
At the end, we see him with a new job as a travel salesman, caring no more about whatever those women do at the house, being away as he is travelling most of the time, presenting himself as a single man to every pretty girl he meets, far away from wife, sister, sister-in-law, mother-in-law....
Well done, yes, but the story... I didn't like the story, such stereotype like I've never seen in real life.

Murder, my sweet - 1945
Apparently based on a Raymond Chandler book, but I read somewhere that they are very different, so maybe one day I'll read the book too to judge for myself. I hope it's different, because the movie as it is wasn't that great. I didn't like it very much, and I usually like this sort of 'noir' movies.
It starts with Marlowe questioned by the police, accused of murder, and a long flashback takes it back to when it all started, with a man named Malloy asks him, as a private investigator, to find him a girl, Velma, a singer he was in love with but has no idea where she is now. To convince him, he gives him 40 dollars in advance. Marlowe starts investigating, asking the bar owner, but he's sure that woman's hiding something. It appears at this moment that Velma might have died.
Then another man asks him to go with him, as a guard, at a night meeting with maybe a thief, but he's knocked out right away. Coming to his senses again, he sees a girl running away, and then finds his rich client Marriott dead. Apparently he wanted to buy back a necklace that had been stolen, and Ann Grayle tells him it was her father's wife's, and that said wife had given Marriott 8000 dollars to buy it back.
He there meets misterious and dangerous Amthor, then finds himself recluse in a sort of mental hospital for three days, but he escapes and descovers that Amthor and Marriott were blackmailing Mrs Grayle... who turns out to be Velma: a secret she wanted nobody to find out. Now that he knows, she wants to kill him, but her husband Mr Grayle kills her instead. Then Malloy, called Moose, fights with him, out of himself for losing Velma, and the two of them kill each other.
Back to the police interrogation room, Marlowe finishes his story, which will be corroborated by Ann. The police lets him go, and the two of them go away together, and kiss, because after all it might even be a full day since her father killed someone in front of her eyes, and was himself killed in return. You can't expect her to be in a bad mood for that!!! Or to mourn for him more than a day!!!
Boring and uninteresting. Sorry about that.
Dick Powell was Philip Marlowe, Claire Trevor was Mrs Grayle/Velma, Anne Shirley was Ann, Otto Kruger was Amthor, Mike Mazurki was Malloy,

Ghostbusters
I like it very much, I enjoyed rewatching it after so long, it was really a pleasure. The green ghost is kind of ridiculous now, but in 1984 those were great special effects. The only scene I never liked was at the beginning, where we meet Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) and see him acting like a jerk while doing an experiment with a poor guy and a pretty girl. Lame. Then we meet Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and he's adorable, so excited about everything, that house, the car, the job, the ghosts. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) completes the trio of scientists (if we can call Peter that) that get kicked out of the university where they were working, and decide to go on business by themselves, opening the only ghostbusters agency in town with the slogan "we're ready to believe you" :-) After seeing strange things inside her fridge, Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) sees their ad on television, and asks for their help. It'll turn out that there's a great evil planning to open on the roof of her building, and they're the only ones equipped to stop it :-) Of course :-) They have the weapons, and also an unlicensed nuclear accelerator where they stock captured ghosts, and of course a burocrat will go all superior on them and order to shut it down releasing all the ghosts, causing even more trouble :-)
They start working a lot, and all the papers' covers are for them "ghost fever grips New York" ! so they need help, and hire Winston, who when asked if he believes in ghosts and all that kind of stuff replies "if there's a steady paycheck I'll believe anything you say" :-) In a way, more than all the ghosts, the strangest thing is that they've become so famous, on every paper, going on television, and yet when they need to hire people only Winston asks for the job. With those credentials, there should be a queue outside!
There's Rick Moranis too, but I've never been too fond of him.
Things I like most: when they pretend to be exterminators because they promised to be 'totally discreet' to the hotel manager, and a man sees them and says "that's got to be some cockroach" and Peter :" it'll bite your head off" :-) then when they decide to "split up" : "yes, we can do more damage that way" :lol:
Facing the ghosts "he slimed me" :-) and then Peter asking "bad?" and Egon answering "imagine all life stopping and every molecule in your body exploding" "that's bad. Important safety tip"
After catching the ghost : "we came, saw and kicked its ass!" and I don't know why but I love the bit where they're describing the end of the world to the mayor, and Peter among all the other things, shouts "cats and dogs living together" and I've always found that so funny! :lmao:
I know it may seem ridiculous, but it's adorable the way it is.

Godzilla - 2014
I was so excited to watch this movie, I read the 'monster' Godzilla was to be like it was when it was created, I thought it'd be amazing: wow, Godzilla! Then I started watching it...saw a man and his little boy...I waited and saw that boy all grow up with his family...I waited and I saw that young man going to save his crazy father... I waited and saw for a moment a strange monster cause trouble... I waited and saw a lot of man talk about "what can we do?"... I waited and I saw a soldier among soldiers trying to reach his wife...I waited and saw said wife sending her little boy to safety and waiting for her husband... I waited and saw more talking, I had enough of waiting but finally there it was,Godzilla vs bad monsters, and in a few minutes it was over and Godzilla was gone, and I was left with the soldier worried about his wife, but obviously finding her alive and then husband,wife and son held in a big hug in a very american-style-happy-ending.
Conclusion : it was so boring. When I read Godzilla in the title I hoped to see Godzilla, is that so strange? But I saw it for like two minutes and it was gone. The rest was the classic stereotype american movie, where it didn't matter too much what the monsters were doing, or how the rest of the world was doing, it only mattered that our young hero wanted to complete a mission and then get back to his wife, and that's why finding her alive is the real happy ending. That's nice, but it's also the classic storyline of movies done following a pre-existed list of points to follow. Storyline I've seen dozens of times, it's not so very interesting any more, not if there's nothing else, nothing more to see.
So disappointed. :-( It was a real disappointment, that's what it was!

4.50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie
This is one of the Christie books I love less, because there is virtually noone known. There is Miss Marple, but due to her age, she simply sits at home, letting other people do everything, she has very little role, although a very important one. I prefer stories with Poirot in an active role, those are my favourites.
Here, we have Miss Marple's friend, Ms McGillicuddy, coming to see her, and while on the train she sees a man strangling a woman on the train next to hers. She's sure of what whe saw, although nobody believes her, thinking she's just an old woman imagining things, probably by falling asleep after reading a crime story on the paper. Nobody but Miss Marple, of course, because she knows her friend, and knows she has no imagination at all, so she totally believes her. Since no dead woman is found, Miss Marple decides to hire a girl to go working where she is convinced is the most likely place to hide the body, and lets her do the searching. When the body of a strangled woman is really found, the police starts questioning everybody in the house. Rutherford Hall is where the old Mr Crackenthorpe lives with his daughter Emma. There are also now her brothers: Cedric the painter, Harold the businessman, Alfred the... con man; there's the local doctor Quimper who appears to be in love with Emma; her brother-in-law Brian Eastley with his son Alexander and his son's friend James Stoddard-West.
They seem to be all in need of money, but the problem is, the victim is a girl not related to the family. Had been murdered the old man, there would be lots of suspects, of course, but they don't even know who that girl is.
SPOILERS- you have been warned, don't go on if you haven't yet read it.
At first I was completely at loss, no idea whatsoever, but when Alfred was killed, and then Harold was killed... well, a certain plan started to present itself. But I didn't really see it because I didn't want to, I had my heart on a happy ending, with Emma married to the good country doctor, and didn't want to see the truth. It was actually the only reasonable explanation. It had no sense that someone should kill the unknown wife of their late brother, it also made no sense that one of them should kill the other brothers but not the old man. It wasn't strange at all that the doctor wanted to be free to marry soon-to-be-very-rich Emma, and her brothers dead meant much more money for her, and we heard about a disappeared girl married to an English man... I didn't see it, until the end, but I suppose it's not impossible.

Lord Edgware dies by Agatha Christie
One of the first book I ever read, and still a good one, after all this time, even if I remembered just one important detail it was still very interesting to reread, and a lot of fun. There's Poirot, which is always a good thing, dragged into the whole business by a woman, Jane Richardson, a famous and beautiful actress, that one night asks for Poirot's help in convincing her husband to give her a divorce, and that starts saying things like how it would be easier for her if she wasn't married, and oh if my husband dies it would be great, I'd be free.. He's very curious and interested, and when her husband is found killed, he starts investigating, finding out her alibi, full of witnesses, and all the other people that could have done it, and that are now quite happy he's dead. Not a very nice person, he was, for sure.
It's funny that at one moment a character talks about it saying what a good title it would be "Lord Edgware dies", and what a great view it would be on a shelf.. :-)
SPOILERS here is the finale, so don't go on if you haven't read it.
It was fun from the start, where it said that Poirot considered this case as a failure for him, because he was at a loss until he heard a phrase from someone on a street that set him on the right track. It was also full of interesting characters, because that actress was very peculiar, then there was another actress who was capable of marvellous impressions, also found dead, made it look like suicide. It was the murderer's intention to make it look like she had done it, and then committed suicide. At Lord Edgware house, they had seen Lady Edgware come in, and leave after the murder, and it was believed that in fact it was the other girl impersonating her, while the real Jane was at a party full of people. Poirot is able to discover that it was the other way around. Nobody at the party knew her so well as to understand the trick, but it was just that, a trick. Jane had convinced the poor young actress to play her part as a joke, to see if she could fool everybody, not knowing that she was being used as an alibi for murder, and this is why she was then killed too. The real Jane had really gone to the house, simply announcing herself, killed her husband and walked out. Amazing. And she wasn't the little bit feeling guilty, she even thought it was not at all fair that she should be caught, she was very upset about it :-) She thought her plan was very intelligent, she was proud of it.

Lie to me, season 1, 2, 3. - about the show...
To read a recollection of the cases go here - the cases
Well, it's not easy because yes, I liked it, and yet there are a lot of things I didn't like. Let me explain, I liked it because Tim Roth was really good, and because I liked Gillian, and the idea was nice, specially to me since I hate lies from the heart. Yet, it had many problems.
The cases and the police/FBI -
This was a major problem, I think. It was just them. They add a cop every season simply to justify some things, but who really does everything is the Lightman Group, and this is not right. They're not cops. Yes, they added a past of counter-terrorism and war to Cal's curriculum, but it's not enough. Gillian's a psycologist, nobody in the agency has been trained as a street policeman or a fbi agent... they shouldn't be doing everything, all the investigations by themselves. It's absurd, and doesn't pay off, in the end. Plus, they had three bomb-related episodes in two seasons...1-13, 2-10, and 2-12... in the end, they just didn't know what to do with these characters, case-while.
Messed-up details about characters.
Zoe had decided to stay in town, to start her own business, to stay all three in the same city, then all of a sudden, without a word, she's far away in Chicago and Emily lives with him. Why? What happened? They didn't care to explain. Cal has Emily's custody? Did a judge decide that?? I thought they were in good enough relations, good enough not to involve judges and lawyers. Now all of a sudden he's afraid of losing custody...
Father-daughter relationship
It should have been an important part of the show, the heart of the main character, instead it was useless and boring, after a while. Always the same dynamic, over and over. Oh My God my daughter is in danger: then she never is, not even once. Then the thing about the jealous father, so boring, every single time the same thing. No more, please. She has boyfriends, we get it!! Let's not talk of that sick thing in the last episode, which was awful. I guess they meant for it to be funny, but honestly, when Sally made orgasm noises in the restaurant in front of Harry in Harry meet Sally it was funny, because they were friends, not father and daughter!!! It's very very different!! They should have done something with them. Show the heart of the man and the show via the love he had for his daughter, instead it was only a boring diversion.
Loker -
In the first few episodes I liked Loker very much, he was open and sincere, on the first episode he seemed the best, I liked so much this thing that apparently he always told the truth, even when not asked. I hate lies, and this was so charming and lovely, always telling the truth. It lasted five episodes, then everything changes, he says his first innocent lie, and from that moment he was not the same any more. He betrays Gillian, lies to everyone, involves Ria in lying for him, on ep 9 he's all angry against rich people, judgemental about women caring only about money! He had such a nasty look. From that on, he'll never be the same character I liked so much in the first ep, he was so often annoying, I was like :do it for real, go get another job and stop all this moaning! It was a bit funny when he pretended to be an agent, but it'd had been funnier had he stayed a candid sweet guy, but that is long gone. Yes, I liked him singing, but one nice episode is not enough.
Totally uninterested in side-characters -
We meet Duprée, Ria starts going out with him in the same episode, then we know nothing more until he returns for the drama, when he's blown up and ends up in the hospital, then they don't even say a word of what has become of him. In the next series they've all forgotten him, even Ria. Same thing happens to Ben, he gets shot at the end of season 2, and it takes a while in season 3 before they spend a line to tell us if he's alive or not, like they don't care at all.
Also, none of the other characters leaves a permanent, or significantly recurrent mark. We see Clara a few times, but they could as well leave her out, given the little contribute she brings.
Finally, and most importantly, their science and how they use it.
I'm perfectly willing to believe that they can understand without fail if a person is lying or telling the truth, and even understand all the other emotions from micro-expressions on people's faces, no problem with that, I'd like to know someone like that myself. My problem is, however, in the way they use it. Knowing what emotion a person is feeling, doesn't tell you why! Example: in an episode, a journalist went to a senator asking if he had paid to have sex with a prostitute, and they saw disgust in his face. Now, disgust for what? For the concept of sleeping with prostitutes, maybe his moral values refuse that? For the idea of sleeping with a girl, maybe he's gay? For the idea of paying to have sex with her, maybe he thought about it as a relationship? Or maybe disgust at how low the press has fallen? Disgust for that specific journalist asking the question, maybe he knows him already? I can see many reasons for an expression of disgust to appear on his face at that moment, and what did they see? He felt disgust, as if the idea of sleeping with her is disgusting to him, clearly they are father and daughter.... come on, seriously???? They didn't know him, nor the journalist, nothing, and yet they guessed it all just like that! You see how absurd it is, right?? It's not possible to know the "why?" from an expression, because people are different; the expressions might very well be the same, but the reasons behind them are not.
This is why they're not enough to solve important cases. Their group should be an important, valuable asset, yes, but should not be everything there is. There should be proper investigators; it's as if in Bones Brennan and Angela went around investigating without Booth, it would be so wrong because they're not detectives, they're scientists (well, in this case, a scientist and an artist).
I don't understand why Cal won't let anyone touch him, like he's always leaning back out of sight whenever Gillian's trying to help him, after he gets hurt. They planned it from the beginning, meaning for it to be a long-term development? Like slowly telling us how much he cares for her, loves her (and this bit we got at the end of season 3), then slowly explaining how scared he is of ruining the most important relationship he has and thus losing his best friend that he loves so much, because in relationships he can't just shut-up, he has to ruin them and he knows it, knows that he'll screw things up risking losing Gillian forever, so not only he never did anything about his feelings for her, but he even tried to avoid as much as possible anything that might lead to that... which we might have seen in season 5, maybe... but we'll probably never see it, I heard nothing about going on with new season, no news on season 4 coming up, have you?
A recollection of everything important that happened, aside from the cases.
season 1
ep 1 We meet everyone,dr Cal Lightman, Dr Gillian Foster the bad liar, and Eli Loker who always tells the truth. They hire Ria Torres, a 'natural' at spotting lies or other emotions on faces.
ep 3 Dr Lightman is worried for his daughter after she's brought to him by the police because she threw a party.
ep 6 Loker says his first lie, and Gillian tells of when she almost adopted a little baby, but she was taken back by her mom.
ep 7 we see who's the woman that Gillian's husband is seeing
ep 8 we learn that Cal's mother had committed suicide, plus Loker disobeys Gillian, getting a fraud-thief woman arrested, but now a lot of people will never get back what had been stolen from them. I agree that the woman should pay, but is that more important than all those people?? Normal people who needed that money, and he didn't care at all, lied face-to-face to Gillian, and involved Ria in this by telling her the truth and asking her to cover for him. What a selfish brat!
ep 9, the pretty girl is called Nadia!!!
ep 10 Cal's ex-wife hires him, and he still has feelings for her, and maybe she has too, since they sleep together
ep 11 Loker finally comes clean, and Gillian explains that her husband is an ex-addict, and the blond is his sponsor, and she was trying to help him.
ep 13 there's the first of the bomb cases, and Ria's boyfriend gets into an hospital, and the season ends.
season 2
ep1 Sophie's brother Gavin is Neal from OUAT .-)
ep 2 the prosecutor is Spike from Buffy :-) with black hair though :-)
ep 3 another Buffy character :Reilly is Reiner.
ep 4 Loker plays the agent, and Gillian is so scared for Cal's safety, and Torres blames herself for screwing up, when she didn't lock the door, she was so confident in herself, he got in her car and completely surprised her). At the end, Cal is in a bar or something, hooking up with a beautiful woman, but is not comfortable after the day he had, so leaves her there and goes to Gillian's house to see how she's doing, and asks to crash in her guest's bedroom for the night while Emily's at her mom's.
ep 5 I liked that undercover-FBI agent at the end.
ep 7 Loker didn't really seem to care , did he? Fortunately Torres does, and maybe she can make him see what's important.
ep 9, Loker has a date, and he and Torres analise her espressions to understand if she's really into him or just up for the classy restaurants he takes her to... which I think was really lame of him, he's trying really hard to be like Cal, he also wants to end up alone like him?
ep 10 we see Loker entertain a bunch of little kids who can't go out because of the bomb-threat, and in the end he sings the song that they helped write.
"I say I'm ten when I'm nine and a half, my uncle tells a joke and I try to laugh, in gym I fake a headache when I want to quit, I say I love the sweater that my grandma knit, but that's [a white lie (white lie) that's the kind you want to tell, a white lie (white lie) so your mom won't have to yell, a white lie (white lie) everybody does it 'cause it feels alright and it's more polite but a lie is still a lie even when it's white.]
I pretend I'm asleep when my dad walks in, I said I ate my chicken but I just take the skin, your face can say you're lying when your mouth says you're not, your pants are on fire but they're not too hot, when it's a white lie (white lie) it's the kind you want to tell, a white lie (white lie) so your dad won't have to yell, a white lie (white lie) everybody does it 'cause it feels alright and it's more polite but a lie is still a lie even when it's white.
While it might be hard to say what's true, would you want a white lie told to you? but that's [] "
the kid's teacher sings a part too, and it's very nice, and I love that Gillian comes in but just listen without being noticed, not wanting to interrupt them, and she likes it because she mouths the chorus, lovely bit .-)
ep 11 we find out Torres is actually single now...when did that happen? So what, did Dupree die after season 1? No one said anything, I mean I know he wasn't a main character, but he had his importance, and a word would be nice, don't you think? Instead they wait till ep 11 of the next season to show us that she's single without a shadow in her mind, meaning he's history now, one way or another...
At the end, Cal went to Gillian, she was sorry that she didn't see it in the guy's face, but when Cal asked to go grab a bite together, she said no. I mean, why?? This is not the first time they did this. Why is that? I know they are independent grown-ups, with separate lives, but they're supposed to be best friends. He asked her, and after what he's been through, maybe some help from his best friend who also happen to be a psycologist might have done him some good! Why not, then? Isn't that what a friend should do, not leaving him alone in a moment like this? I think she should have asked him, and she should have insisted had he said no! Instead it went the other way around, he asked her and she said no!! Is this part of the whole Cal-Gillian-love-theme? She also tries her best to keep her distance, avoiding all those situations in which a bit more intimacy could lead to trouble, especially if some drinks were involved?? Or am I supposed to believe that he asked her to go somewhere together to eat something it was to help her that felt guilty for not seeing what he saw from the beginning? Because it looks to me like he's the one who might deserve some comforting in the situation!
ep 12 we see the first meeting between Cal and Gillian, and have another bomb-case.
ep 13 we meet Clara
ep 14 Cal says that his dad was a soldier, and back from the war went back to work and put him through college...
ep 17 - After chatting on the computer, Emily kisses Loker, and he tells Cal, and Cal hits him, then Emily invites Loker home so Cal can apologise, and invite him in for pineapple-icecream, or a beer. I liked the ending, when Cal asks her, what if he hadn't apologised, and she hits him, then he calls her 'good girl' :)
ep 18 Gillian is worried because she's in a relationship with that youth center psycologist, and he has a secret passport with a different name, but it turns out he's an undercover agent, and they admit they're in love :-)
20 - Emily reads her grandmother's diary, and finds a paternity test that Cal took the time he saw Zoe talking to a guy and he had to verify, as a scientist, he says. Emily tells him that he never trusted anyone and this is why he'll always be alone. He looks at another table and sees Foster and says 'I'm not alone', and goes to talk to her while Emily smiles.
ep 21, Loker gets promoted
22 - Cal is worried Emily might start having a sex life, but seriously being her his daughter, he's being quite naive, isn't he...
season 3
ep 1. apparently Ben's gone, so that girl detective from last season starts working with him. I preferred Ben!!! And they didn't say a word about it, we don't know what the hell happened to Ben, they only care about Cal and the case, which is preposterous, this time.
ep 2 . Loker is again thinking of changing job, and this time he actually applied for one at the Pentagon... what happened to his promotion?? He's still thinking he's underestimated there??
ep 3. What happened to 'truth at all costs' ? It seemed to be Cal's motto, but only when he likes it, apparently. He seems to have no problem with lies, when they suit him.
ep 6 - Emily has a new boyfriend, Liam. How many are they now?? This is boring. Every time the same scene, like the "my daughter is in danger" theme, and yet she never is. It has become really old now...
ep 9. now Zoe works in Chicago?? And she has a new man. I thought she had given up the whole Chicago idea , so why now she's there? I thought she had started her own business here...
ep 10 - while in the hospital, Cal talks to his mom and dad while he's on drugs, and it seems he loved his mom, but not so much his dad who was a drinker and used to beat them up... but didn't he say in season 2 that he is where he is because back from the war his father worked to put him through college? Does this mean that he was a drinker and a beater when his mom was alive, but after the war he stopped his drinking and acted good? In that case, shouldn't he have forgiven him? It appears here that he despises him... or maybe they forgot about that war-detail? Because last season there was no sign of anger when he talked about him, instead he seemed proud of what he'd been able to do.
ep 12 - the little speech Cal gives the boy was superb. When the boy says "you don't know what it's like", Cal recollects the times when his father used to hit him and his mother. Great speech, when he said 'praying' and did that hand movement it seemed very Pacino-like to me. Which is high-praise, as you can imagine.
ep 13 - I've said already that the dynamic dad-Emily has become very repetitive, every time he comes home he finds her with a boy, and all that, but this is too much. Making sex noises to annoy your father? That's not funny, that's more than wrong, that's sick. Had she been a friend, it might have been funny, sure, but his teenage daughter?? What the hell was that?? And at the end, she leaves him because he doesn't believe in sex before marriage...well in a way that's probably the right result of a Cal-Zoe pair...
I loved the end, when Cal admits to Emily that he really loves Gillian, which would be much more interesting had they made a season 4. Instead it all ends here. Will they ever make a new season?
Well, it's not easy because yes, I liked it, and yet there are a lot of things I didn't like. Let me explain, I liked it because Tim Roth was really good, and because I liked Gillian, and the idea was nice, specially to me since I hate lies from the heart. Yet, it had many problems.
The cases and the police/FBI -
This was a major problem, I think. It was just them. They add a cop every season simply to justify some things, but who really does everything is the Lightman Group, and this is not right. They're not cops. Yes, they added a past of counter-terrorism and war to Cal's curriculum, but it's not enough. Gillian's a psycologist, nobody in the agency has been trained as a street policeman or a fbi agent... they shouldn't be doing everything, all the investigations by themselves. It's absurd, and doesn't pay off, in the end. Plus, they had three bomb-related episodes in two seasons...1-13, 2-10, and 2-12... in the end, they just didn't know what to do with these characters, case-while.
Messed-up details about characters.
Zoe had decided to stay in town, to start her own business, to stay all three in the same city, then all of a sudden, without a word, she's far away in Chicago and Emily lives with him. Why? What happened? They didn't care to explain. Cal has Emily's custody? Did a judge decide that?? I thought they were in good enough relations, good enough not to involve judges and lawyers. Now all of a sudden he's afraid of losing custody...
Father-daughter relationship
It should have been an important part of the show, the heart of the main character, instead it was useless and boring, after a while. Always the same dynamic, over and over. Oh My God my daughter is in danger: then she never is, not even once. Then the thing about the jealous father, so boring, every single time the same thing. No more, please. She has boyfriends, we get it!! Let's not talk of that sick thing in the last episode, which was awful. I guess they meant for it to be funny, but honestly, when Sally made orgasm noises in the restaurant in front of Harry in Harry meet Sally it was funny, because they were friends, not father and daughter!!! It's very very different!! They should have done something with them. Show the heart of the man and the show via the love he had for his daughter, instead it was only a boring diversion.
Loker -
In the first few episodes I liked Loker very much, he was open and sincere, on the first episode he seemed the best, I liked so much this thing that apparently he always told the truth, even when not asked. I hate lies, and this was so charming and lovely, always telling the truth. It lasted five episodes, then everything changes, he says his first innocent lie, and from that moment he was not the same any more. He betrays Gillian, lies to everyone, involves Ria in lying for him, on ep 9 he's all angry against rich people, judgemental about women caring only about money! He had such a nasty look. From that on, he'll never be the same character I liked so much in the first ep, he was so often annoying, I was like :do it for real, go get another job and stop all this moaning! It was a bit funny when he pretended to be an agent, but it'd had been funnier had he stayed a candid sweet guy, but that is long gone. Yes, I liked him singing, but one nice episode is not enough.
We meet Duprée, Ria starts going out with him in the same episode, then we know nothing more until he returns for the drama, when he's blown up and ends up in the hospital, then they don't even say a word of what has become of him. In the next series they've all forgotten him, even Ria. Same thing happens to Ben, he gets shot at the end of season 2, and it takes a while in season 3 before they spend a line to tell us if he's alive or not, like they don't care at all.
Also, none of the other characters leaves a permanent, or significantly recurrent mark. We see Clara a few times, but they could as well leave her out, given the little contribute she brings.
I'm perfectly willing to believe that they can understand without fail if a person is lying or telling the truth, and even understand all the other emotions from micro-expressions on people's faces, no problem with that, I'd like to know someone like that myself. My problem is, however, in the way they use it. Knowing what emotion a person is feeling, doesn't tell you why! Example: in an episode, a journalist went to a senator asking if he had paid to have sex with a prostitute, and they saw disgust in his face. Now, disgust for what? For the concept of sleeping with prostitutes, maybe his moral values refuse that? For the idea of sleeping with a girl, maybe he's gay? For the idea of paying to have sex with her, maybe he thought about it as a relationship? Or maybe disgust at how low the press has fallen? Disgust for that specific journalist asking the question, maybe he knows him already? I can see many reasons for an expression of disgust to appear on his face at that moment, and what did they see? He felt disgust, as if the idea of sleeping with her is disgusting to him, clearly they are father and daughter.... come on, seriously???? They didn't know him, nor the journalist, nothing, and yet they guessed it all just like that! You see how absurd it is, right?? It's not possible to know the "why?" from an expression, because people are different; the expressions might very well be the same, but the reasons behind them are not.
This is why they're not enough to solve important cases. Their group should be an important, valuable asset, yes, but should not be everything there is. There should be proper investigators; it's as if in Bones Brennan and Angela went around investigating without Booth, it would be so wrong because they're not detectives, they're scientists (well, in this case, a scientist and an artist).
I don't understand why Cal won't let anyone touch him, like he's always leaning back out of sight whenever Gillian's trying to help him, after he gets hurt. They planned it from the beginning, meaning for it to be a long-term development? Like slowly telling us how much he cares for her, loves her (and this bit we got at the end of season 3), then slowly explaining how scared he is of ruining the most important relationship he has and thus losing his best friend that he loves so much, because in relationships he can't just shut-up, he has to ruin them and he knows it, knows that he'll screw things up risking losing Gillian forever, so not only he never did anything about his feelings for her, but he even tried to avoid as much as possible anything that might lead to that... which we might have seen in season 5, maybe... but we'll probably never see it, I heard nothing about going on with new season, no news on season 4 coming up, have you?

Bones season 4
I like this series too. I appreciated very much the idea of not chosing right away her new assistant, but have them rotate turn, one each episode. My favourite assistant is of course Vincent Nigel-Murray, but this time I admit it's not only because of the character, but also because of the actor. I like how he speaks, how he moves his hands and eyes while speaking :-) I hope to see more of him, although I doubt it.
1-2 - The yanks in the UK, part one and two - Grayson comes to the Jeffersonian to meet Angela, and he really is... very good-looking, they weren't joking :-) He's still in love with Angela, but then he gets how much Angela and Jack are in love, and signs the divorce papers. Cam then sleeps with Grayson, and Sweets advice her to come clean and tell everything to Angela who shouldn't mind, since she wanted the divorce so much because she wants to marry Hodgins, right?? Seriously?? Come on now, who is so enlightened in real life huh? Don't ask a man, even if a psycologist, ask a woman!! Of course she'll mind, the ink used to sign the divorce is still fresh, you don't say a word to her, pretend to give him a drive to the airport and nothing more, and the next day you tell her you slept with him?? Come on! She does mind, and Hodgins is confused by that, and in the end they decide that they are not trusting each other and that therefore should break up. Ok, now Angela is the idiot! and Hodgins too for not trying to stop her! Idiots.
Clark is Zach's substitute for this episode.
Brennan is giving a lecture at Oxford, (apparently the day after Booth at Scotland Yard). They are then called for a homocide, and Dr. Ian and inspector Cate are the English version of Booth and Bones, as he says himself! There are two cases in this two parts episode, and they are different, but in a way related.
The girl is killed because it turned out that her father was actually the same as her boyfriend's father, and the butler confesses to the murder, don't know if he actually did it of if he's covering for someone in the family. Then Dr. Ian Wexler is murdered. The girl working with Ian killed him because had he ruined his own career, he'd have ruined hers too.
3 - The man in the outhouse - Daisy Wick is this episode's new grad student-assistant, and Brennan is seeing two guys at once, one for sex and one to go out with. At the end Daisy was apparently fired, and Sweets, hurt after being left behind by Booth and Bones going to dinner without him, calls her...
I admit from that computer image I'd have never recognized that man, even after seeing him, he doesn't look like that image at all to me. Again, it annoys me so much Brennan's attitude vs religion, so aggressive, so reverse-fanatic.
case: a tv guy was killed by the ex-boyfriend of a girl he was sleeping with.
4 - The finger in the nest - The assistant this episode is a middle-age man very nice, but I didn't catch his name. Parker finds a finger in a bird's nest, and Booth is worried for him.
The victim is a veterinary. A guy set his dog on him , using the dog as the 'murder weapon', because he had seen the dogs fighting and was taking pictures. They also found the dog responsible, who was actually a very good dog, and Brennan wanted to adopt it, but it had already been put down :-( Her words at the end:
"Like all dogs, Ripley only saw the good in people. Dogs are like that. People should take a lesson."
5 - The perfect pieces in the purple pond - We see Zach again. First, Dr Sweets talking to him, and again when he appears in the lab, escaped, come to help them find the head. At the end, he goes quietly back with Sweets, and tells him that he didn't actually ever kill anyone, he just told the master where to find him, and thinks he'd have done it had the master asked him, but doesn't want anyone to know about it. Sweets would want to tell about it, because he says you can't really know if you'd be able to do it or not, but can't, it's confidential.
case: an ocd young man recovered from his disease was killed by his ocd mother who dismembered him into 13 pieces, put 12 in a pond and the head buried in the garden.
6 - The crank in the shaft - This ep's assistant is Mr. Fisher. I wasn't very impressed by him, I have to say. Booth makes a lot of fuss about getting a specific old chair for his office, and Angela and Hodgins have difficulties working together.
(case:the remains of a woman are found in the elevator shaft. She had been accidentally killed by a girl who threw a stapler at her, because she was going to report her relationship with a man in the same office.)
7 - The he in the she - As always Booth and Brennan are mute/hostile during their therapy sessions, they don't show much respect to Sweets, for true. Then, she's hard and unpleasant to one of her grad students. This ep's assistant is Mr. Nigel-Murray, my favourite :-) I really like the way he speaks.
Also, Brennan should have some respect for Booth's praying, and she should be told of that!! They indulge her a lot, I know she's a good person and I guess she deserves it, but she's often disrespectful and rude and offensive; I know she's very intelligent, but that's not excuse enough, and she should be taught that. At the end apparently Mr.Nigel-Murray quits his internship voluntarily.
(case: A woman is killed by a jealous wife with a boat while swimming, and now Ryan, the son she had when she was still a man, takes over her place as the pastor of the community.)
8 - The skull in the sculpture - In the rotation of students doing their internship, Daisy is up again. The victim's assistant was Roxie, Angela's ex-girlfriend. They meet each other, and some of the old flame seems to be back..since they kiss at the end. Daisy is driving Camille crazy, so Cam asks for Sweets' advice, and he says he'll fire Diasy in her place. He goes to her, in the lab, and tells her directly that nobody likes her ther, and that since she doesn't work there anymore, there's no more reason to keep their relationship a secret .-) nice, those two.
(case: the remains of an artist are found into one of his sculptures, made out of crashed-cars. It was the gallery owner, that woman who put so much make-up on because she was ill)
9 - The con man in the meth lab - Clark comes back for his turn as assistant. We also meet Jared, Us Navy Lt. Cmd, Booth's little brother. Bones is very keen on going with him to an important party, and dressed very smartly. He tells her that Booth never liked success, that he prefers to stay in the 'comfort zone', she shouldn't have gone, it was clear he did mind, although she's rubbish at understanding people's feelings. Still, had he told her, she probably would have gone anyway, since she's so into always doing what she wants, proving she's not depending on what others want her to do... she even says "Booth shouldn't be threatened by the fact that his brother is more successful"... can you believe that?? At moments like this I think his love is waisted on her... Come on, she's spent years working with Booth, and only one night chatting with Jared!!
Well, in the end they settle things, and Brennan makes him a very nice speech... I guess she's learning something new every day, maybe one day she'll be human, who knows...
(case: a body is found while a meth lab is blown up, and at the end the bad sheriff is caught)
10 - The passenger in the oven - Angela is still going out with Roxie, and now she asks her to move in with her, but Roxie says no, that neither one of them is ready.
(case: Booth and Brennan are on a flight to China, when a body is found roasted in the oven. It was of a woman who had been killed by the 16 years old son of a man who was cheating on his dying wife with her.)
11 - The bone that blew - The assistant is Wendell Bray :-) Cam hires Max to teach science at kids, but Bones doesn't want him there. Sweets tells them what he think the reason is, and Max says "load of crap. you're far too rational for that".. again, poor Sweets; is there anyone who treats him well?? Aside from Daisy, that is.. Then Max and Jack do an esperiment together, and she jumps on the occasion to fire him.
Looking at Max teaching Cola-mint experiments to Parker, Booth asks Bones not to fire Max as a personal favour..
"Italians make the best automobile" really? Thanks Booth!
(case : a little rich girl shot the male nanny because he caught her cheating on her school homework and was about to report it to the school! Her mother took the body away and burnt it to protect her..)
12 - Double trouble in the panhandle - The assistant is Mr. Nigel-Murray!!! Yeah! Am I the only one who likes Mr Nigel-Murray very much?? He's so nice, funny and sweet...
We hear that Sweets was adopted, and time ago had tried to find his mother who worked in a circus in Florida. We also see Bones and Booth ilfiltrate the circus where the twins worked, as a knife-thrower and his wife. Booth is the son of a barber.
(case: the bones of siamese twin-sisters are found at the border between Oklahoma and Texas. They worked in a circus, their doctor had a relationship first with one then with the other sister, but in the end turns out that it was an act-accident, they weren't murdered at all, but their bones were moved.)
13 - Fire in the ice - This time's assistant is Wendell. He was also playing hockey in Booth's team. At the end, Booth and Bones are alone in the ice ring, and he's teaching her how to skate :)
(case: Booth punches hard a guy while they were both playing hockey. A month later his remains are found. under ice, so Booth is a suspect. It's found that he stole jewellery during a fire, working as a firefighter, and one of his team killed him.)
14 - The hero in the hold - Another episode with Booth having allucinations... It seemed quite casual, after the blow to the head on the ice ring, but this time it's a little more... strange.
case: The Grave Digger is back, and this time has taken Booth. They find him alive, after catching the FBI woman responsible. Jared helps them find him, but he has to break rules in order to be able to save him in time, and is later arrested for this.
15 - The princess and the pear - Booth has back problems, so Brennan works again with agent Perotta from ep. 13. This episode's assistant is Mr. Fisher... :-/ I don't know, I'm not very fond of him, although I should, since he admitted he's a fantasy geek, he said he loves it all: Star Trek, Star Wars, Xena, Akira, Buffy, even Fringe (and apparently his girlfriend dumped him for it... why is that?? Where is it written that girls don't like all that stuff?? Personally, I love it!!!). They go to Imagicon.
(case: they discover the victim was dressed in a cosplay outfit, from Imagicon, and had a sword, Excalibur, the real prop from Le Morte D'Arthur, the first fantasy film ever made... did they make this up or is it real? I haven't checked, maybe I will sooner or later, if I remember. They find it, and plan a fake auction, then Sweets and Bones are in a car and get thrown off the road, and then attacked by a black Knight who came to steal the sword, but Bones fights with him and takes it back. They find him, and it turns out he gave the victim his most valuable possession, worth tens, hundreds of thousands, because he loved her, and she tried to sell it for rent)
16 - The bones that foam - The assistant Mr. Nigel-Murray!! yeah!!! :-) He was really adorable this episode, wasn't he??? And he was starting to bond :-)
Camille: so, when you spout facts, it's your way of maintaining focus?
Vincent: facts are the stitches that hold the fabric of existence together.
Camille: in that case, is it individual chop sticks, or pair?
:-) Cam is great, I like her very much. At first I was a bit sorry that she replaced Dr. Goodman, because I liked him, but she's a great character, with much more space for development.
Bones asks Sweets to help her connect with people like booth does. Then, Bones watches with interest while a girl lap dances on Booth's lap... omg she's incredible, she really is, meaning simply that it was hard to believe she would just feel interest with no embarassmente whatsoever... is she a woman or what??
And she must always be the best at everything, she's right in saying that she lacks empathy, and modesty too I'd add. Sometimes I ask myself how can they stand her, this seems to be the real fiction, even more than the cases. Nobody ever tells her what an ass she's being, always telling everyone how much smarter she is, how they don't matter while she's so important (do you remember the "there are hundreds of you and only one of me" line??), how she can do everything, what an excellent driver she is, even after she messed up the new car, and blah blah blah... aaargh!
(case: a body is found on the rocks, and there's a strange foam inside it. Because of the foam, the bones are disintegrating... so Angela does a virtual reconstruction... which seemed so stupid, just so stupid... from a few pieces you get the whole virtual skeleton, and you watch that to find clues, irregularities and whatnot. Absurd, simply stupid. How could they say it was accurate? How could they base their investigations on something like that? It's a random guess, it's not science, there's no way that starting from the bones of a leg you can reconstruct the virtual skeleton and find the specific wound in the chest that will make you catch the right killer... come on! Lucky for Booth that the woman confessed that she killed because he saw her cheating on her husband, otherwise he wouldn't have had a case...)
17 - The salt in the wounds - The assistant is Mr. Arastoo Vaziri, from Iran, who simply takes spiritual breaks every time he needs to pray. no surprise that Brennan acts all intollerant, like she always is with Booth! She thinks only what she says it's true, so she's offensive to everyone, thinking they are all wrong and talking stupidity, while actually she's the one betraying science with her obstracysm to religion! Doesn't she know that you can't say something is impossible until you can prove that it is not possible??
Roxie breaks up with Angela, and Angela then has sex with Hodgins in the storage room... did they forget there are security cameras in there???
Brennan looked so upset that Cam was right, that she even discovered the cause of death, what with her always saying that bones are the most important thing... but at least she ackknowledges the fact that she had been wrong. Also, Angela is worried because Bones approves of the way she conducts her love life...
(case: they find the remains in salt of a teenage footballer, who like several other team girls was also pregnant. The leader was the first, she felt so much pressure on her that was happy to be pregnant and put a stop to it all, and the other girls wanted to be like her. The victim was killed by the doctor she was trying to blackmail to get some money)
18 - The doctor in the den - the assistant is Clark. Apparently Angela took Sweets advice to abstain from sex for a while. Well, he suggested six months, but I don't know if she'll be able to do that.
Cam takes Michelle in with her. We meet Clark's beautiful girlfriend. :-) And once again, like sometimes happen, I could almost hear the 'action' shouted before a scene, so obvious it was that they were all still, waiting for the order to say their line... I like this show, but these things shouldn't happen, it's not very professional..
(case: Dr. Andrew Welton is found murdered. Cam had lived with him for two years, although she hasn't seen him in 10 years. He was killed by a jealous nurse.)
19 - The science in the physicist - The assistant today is Mr. Nigel Murray!!! Hello Vincent! I was so glad to see him and Jack do experiments together, and outside eating together...:-) Maybe they'll bond and we'll see more of Vincent! I hope so, I like him very much!
Angela's dad comes to punish Jack for screwing things up with Angela, and they are all scared, but Angela asks him to go easily on Jack, so he simply leaves him with a big tattoo of Angela's face on his shoulder.
Who is Angela's dad?? Is the actor someone famous? Is he a real musician??
Can you believe how offensive Brennan was this whole episode? Telling Booth "you wouldn't understand" like he's some kind of idiot, as if she was an ace in all kinds of science! Well, she's not.
Again, "I figured out a long ago how stupid you are", then trying to express herself better "I don't care how stupid you are"... she can't say it better because truth is she does think him stupid. Speaking of intelligence, she went on: there are people who have it, like her and Vincent, Angela not so much but she's talented... and Angela says thank you... okay, I guess in Brennan's way that really was a compliment, wasn't it? :-)
(case: the editor of the most important science journal is killed by a young scientist who didn't want to share credit.)
20 - The Cinderella in the cardboard - While investigating, Booth and Brennan see Daisy trying on a wedding dress and hugging a man, and are convinced that she's engaged to him, while going out with Sweets. She wants to tell Sweets but Booth insists that it's none of their business, but when she finally finds herself alone with Sweets, without Booth to stop her, she tells him everything. She just couldn't keep it shut, could she? As always, she was convinced her judgement was better than Booth's, that she was right. He's shocked, and asks for Booth's advice on what to do, than confronts her. It turns out Daisy was trying on the dress for her cousin who's out of town, because the dress was 50% off for a day only, and they're the same size. The man was her cousin's fiancée..so Brennan wanted to avoid him pain, instead she had caused it for no reason, and she went to tell Booth. She admits to experience jealousy herself, of Angela, Jack, Cam, him... because of how they live and feel things, and she can't do that.
Wendell asks Jack out with him and his girl friends, and Jack goes. I really like that all of the assistants are getting their space, and being part of the group.
(case: a future bride also used a dating service called Date Or Hate to meet other men, and the guy of that agency killer her because she didn't want him, didn't even look at him)
21 - Mayhem on a cross - Bones knows how to say skull in several languages :-) The assistant is Clark. And... Dottor Wyatt is back!!! Stephen Fry!!! hooray! Dr Wyatt is here because Sweets wrote a book about Booth and Brennan's relationship, but doesn't agree on his view of it, he says they're no opposite at all, also on the fact that they are avoiding a romantic relationship to avoid endangering their friendship, Wyatt tells him that only one of them is aware of it, not both.It's true, of course, we know it, but I can't believe that Sweets asked "which one?". Come on, really?? Also Wyattis retiring, and he reveals he played guitar while young: he was Noddy Comet :rofl: and Booth knew his music .-) We see Sweets' shoulders are full with scars.. it turns out Sweets was adopted when he was 6 by loving old people who died just before he came to work here; Wyatt wants them to make him feel at home, so Brennan shares a sad memory from her foster days, and asks Booth to do the same, then they take him to dinner at Booth's place where Wyatt is cooking. Oh I love Wyatt!! So sorry this will probably be the last time we see him.. Stephen Fry is great :-)
At the end, we see that Sweets has changed the title of his book from "opposite attracts: yin and yang in the workplace" to "Bones - the heart of the matter".
It was funny when Booth was directing her during the interrogation, when she lied and played tough :lol:
(case: a rave in Norway. Local police finds that the skeleton on the stage is real, and of an american, so they send it to the Jeffersonian. How can they tell how heavy he was just by looking at the bones? Ok, the weight on the bones, yeah, but it seems very sci-fi anyway. The victim was a bassist killed by one of his band because he wanted to leave them for another band.)
22 - The double death of the dearly departed - this was a strange episode :lol:
(case: it's Dr Reilly's wake, of the Jeffersonian, and they all knew him, except Bones doesn't remember him. After paying their respects, it's Brennan's turn, and instead she examins the body and says he was murdered, so they sneak him away :lol: Bones and Cam examine the body at the lab: it seems he did have a heart attack, but was alive when sent to the undertaker who stabbed him 7 times.. because he was scared when suddently the body had opened his eyes while being...prepared. This is because the heart attack wasn't natural, he was poisoned... with tea leaves, by his mom, because she wanted to leave the money to the other son.)
23 - The girl in the mask - Bones has to decide which assistant to hire... :-( I don't want to lose Vincent, but I feel she won't choose him...
Bones words "I'm not convinced that loving someone is worth it" meaning the pain of the loss.
(case: Booth's friend Nakamura is worried for his sister. They look for her and find her remains. Ken brings in the help of Dr Tanaka, and they make such a fuss about finding out if she's a man or a woman-at the end they say male, which is absurd, it's clearly a woman.)
24 - The beaver in the otter - The assistant is Mr Vaziri again. Jared is fired with "dishonourable discharge", and now he wants to go to India on a bike trip. Booth lets him go alone, for once, it might do him some good to stand alone without his big brother, for once. Brennan is as always so skeptical as to be insulting to Sweets, because she can't understand it.
At the end, Booth makes Bones believe that they're doing something bad (exciting) by leaving the bar without paying, but he leaves money on the counter before following her, running outside :-) She seemed a child :-) He really loves her, doesn't he?
(case: a frat guy assaulted a girl and she fired a nail gun at him, then tried to help but he pulled it out himself and died.)
25 - The critic in the cabernet - The assistant is Mr. Fisher.
Bones says she wants a baby, and asks Booth to be the sperm donor. She says "emotional ties are ephemeral and undependable. I've thought this through, rationally" You see here why she hates psychology? Because she needs it, that's why. She clearly has big problems, fear of abandonment, of being hurt again...
Booth has hallucinations again... but this time Brennan sees him talking to thin air, and she forces him to go to the hospital, where they say it's brain tumor, usually benign, but he has to undergo surgery.
(case: a wine critic's remains are found in wine)
26 - The end in the beginning - This episode has the same effect that those Star Trek episodes had on me, you know, those with dreams or whatnot where you saw every actor playing a different character, without their usual make-up... here they have different clothes, in a different scenario.
Vincent here is so cute, with that red shirt, still I can't wait to hear him talking. Love him when he talks. .-)
Loved it when he said "I'm not gonna fare well in jail. I'm lovely" :lol: yes you are, Vincent, indeed you are.
When Hodgins was at the bar, was he using an Irish accent?? Because I thought he was pretending to be drunk! About Vaziri, I will have to google this actor, I'm sure I've seen him somewhere, I mean in some other show, but I can't place him... damn my stupid memory.
Sweets sings in a band called Gormogon. At the end, we see it was Brennan writing a book, waiting for Booth to wake up at the hospital. She's unusually sentimental, but there she is, deleting the whole thing! Apparently Booth has been in a coma for four days, now he wakes up and asks "who are you?"-The End.
(story: Jared and Cam are the cops investigating, Mr Booth owns the club called "the lab", Bones is his wife who's never seen a dead body before, Sweets is the bartender, Vincent is the dj, Wendell is the security guard... there are also Daisy, Fisher, Angela and Zach working there. There is Max, not clear if friend or foe, Mr Vaziri who wants to buy the place, Caroline is the lawyer representing them for the case, Hodgins is a pulp crime novelist, there's also Clark)
1-2 - The yanks in the UK, part one and two - Grayson comes to the Jeffersonian to meet Angela, and he really is... very good-looking, they weren't joking :-) He's still in love with Angela, but then he gets how much Angela and Jack are in love, and signs the divorce papers. Cam then sleeps with Grayson, and Sweets advice her to come clean and tell everything to Angela who shouldn't mind, since she wanted the divorce so much because she wants to marry Hodgins, right?? Seriously?? Come on now, who is so enlightened in real life huh? Don't ask a man, even if a psycologist, ask a woman!! Of course she'll mind, the ink used to sign the divorce is still fresh, you don't say a word to her, pretend to give him a drive to the airport and nothing more, and the next day you tell her you slept with him?? Come on! She does mind, and Hodgins is confused by that, and in the end they decide that they are not trusting each other and that therefore should break up. Ok, now Angela is the idiot! and Hodgins too for not trying to stop her! Idiots.
Clark is Zach's substitute for this episode.
Brennan is giving a lecture at Oxford, (apparently the day after Booth at Scotland Yard). They are then called for a homocide, and Dr. Ian and inspector Cate are the English version of Booth and Bones, as he says himself! There are two cases in this two parts episode, and they are different, but in a way related.
The girl is killed because it turned out that her father was actually the same as her boyfriend's father, and the butler confesses to the murder, don't know if he actually did it of if he's covering for someone in the family. Then Dr. Ian Wexler is murdered. The girl working with Ian killed him because had he ruined his own career, he'd have ruined hers too.
3 - The man in the outhouse - Daisy Wick is this episode's new grad student-assistant, and Brennan is seeing two guys at once, one for sex and one to go out with. At the end Daisy was apparently fired, and Sweets, hurt after being left behind by Booth and Bones going to dinner without him, calls her...
I admit from that computer image I'd have never recognized that man, even after seeing him, he doesn't look like that image at all to me. Again, it annoys me so much Brennan's attitude vs religion, so aggressive, so reverse-fanatic.
case: a tv guy was killed by the ex-boyfriend of a girl he was sleeping with.
4 - The finger in the nest - The assistant this episode is a middle-age man very nice, but I didn't catch his name. Parker finds a finger in a bird's nest, and Booth is worried for him.
The victim is a veterinary. A guy set his dog on him , using the dog as the 'murder weapon', because he had seen the dogs fighting and was taking pictures. They also found the dog responsible, who was actually a very good dog, and Brennan wanted to adopt it, but it had already been put down :-( Her words at the end:
"Like all dogs, Ripley only saw the good in people. Dogs are like that. People should take a lesson."
5 - The perfect pieces in the purple pond - We see Zach again. First, Dr Sweets talking to him, and again when he appears in the lab, escaped, come to help them find the head. At the end, he goes quietly back with Sweets, and tells him that he didn't actually ever kill anyone, he just told the master where to find him, and thinks he'd have done it had the master asked him, but doesn't want anyone to know about it. Sweets would want to tell about it, because he says you can't really know if you'd be able to do it or not, but can't, it's confidential.
case: an ocd young man recovered from his disease was killed by his ocd mother who dismembered him into 13 pieces, put 12 in a pond and the head buried in the garden.
6 - The crank in the shaft - This ep's assistant is Mr. Fisher. I wasn't very impressed by him, I have to say. Booth makes a lot of fuss about getting a specific old chair for his office, and Angela and Hodgins have difficulties working together.
(case:the remains of a woman are found in the elevator shaft. She had been accidentally killed by a girl who threw a stapler at her, because she was going to report her relationship with a man in the same office.)
7 - The he in the she - As always Booth and Brennan are mute/hostile during their therapy sessions, they don't show much respect to Sweets, for true. Then, she's hard and unpleasant to one of her grad students. This ep's assistant is Mr. Nigel-Murray, my favourite :-) I really like the way he speaks.
Also, Brennan should have some respect for Booth's praying, and she should be told of that!! They indulge her a lot, I know she's a good person and I guess she deserves it, but she's often disrespectful and rude and offensive; I know she's very intelligent, but that's not excuse enough, and she should be taught that. At the end apparently Mr.Nigel-Murray quits his internship voluntarily.
(case: A woman is killed by a jealous wife with a boat while swimming, and now Ryan, the son she had when she was still a man, takes over her place as the pastor of the community.)
8 - The skull in the sculpture - In the rotation of students doing their internship, Daisy is up again. The victim's assistant was Roxie, Angela's ex-girlfriend. They meet each other, and some of the old flame seems to be back..since they kiss at the end. Daisy is driving Camille crazy, so Cam asks for Sweets' advice, and he says he'll fire Diasy in her place. He goes to her, in the lab, and tells her directly that nobody likes her ther, and that since she doesn't work there anymore, there's no more reason to keep their relationship a secret .-) nice, those two.
(case: the remains of an artist are found into one of his sculptures, made out of crashed-cars. It was the gallery owner, that woman who put so much make-up on because she was ill)
9 - The con man in the meth lab - Clark comes back for his turn as assistant. We also meet Jared, Us Navy Lt. Cmd, Booth's little brother. Bones is very keen on going with him to an important party, and dressed very smartly. He tells her that Booth never liked success, that he prefers to stay in the 'comfort zone', she shouldn't have gone, it was clear he did mind, although she's rubbish at understanding people's feelings. Still, had he told her, she probably would have gone anyway, since she's so into always doing what she wants, proving she's not depending on what others want her to do... she even says "Booth shouldn't be threatened by the fact that his brother is more successful"... can you believe that?? At moments like this I think his love is waisted on her... Come on, she's spent years working with Booth, and only one night chatting with Jared!!
Well, in the end they settle things, and Brennan makes him a very nice speech... I guess she's learning something new every day, maybe one day she'll be human, who knows...
(case: a body is found while a meth lab is blown up, and at the end the bad sheriff is caught)
10 - The passenger in the oven - Angela is still going out with Roxie, and now she asks her to move in with her, but Roxie says no, that neither one of them is ready.
(case: Booth and Brennan are on a flight to China, when a body is found roasted in the oven. It was of a woman who had been killed by the 16 years old son of a man who was cheating on his dying wife with her.)
11 - The bone that blew - The assistant is Wendell Bray :-) Cam hires Max to teach science at kids, but Bones doesn't want him there. Sweets tells them what he think the reason is, and Max says "load of crap. you're far too rational for that".. again, poor Sweets; is there anyone who treats him well?? Aside from Daisy, that is.. Then Max and Jack do an esperiment together, and she jumps on the occasion to fire him.
Looking at Max teaching Cola-mint experiments to Parker, Booth asks Bones not to fire Max as a personal favour..
"Italians make the best automobile" really? Thanks Booth!
(case : a little rich girl shot the male nanny because he caught her cheating on her school homework and was about to report it to the school! Her mother took the body away and burnt it to protect her..)
12 - Double trouble in the panhandle - The assistant is Mr. Nigel-Murray!!! Yeah! Am I the only one who likes Mr Nigel-Murray very much?? He's so nice, funny and sweet...
We hear that Sweets was adopted, and time ago had tried to find his mother who worked in a circus in Florida. We also see Bones and Booth ilfiltrate the circus where the twins worked, as a knife-thrower and his wife. Booth is the son of a barber.
(case: the bones of siamese twin-sisters are found at the border between Oklahoma and Texas. They worked in a circus, their doctor had a relationship first with one then with the other sister, but in the end turns out that it was an act-accident, they weren't murdered at all, but their bones were moved.)

14 - The hero in the hold - Another episode with Booth having allucinations... It seemed quite casual, after the blow to the head on the ice ring, but this time it's a little more... strange.
case: The Grave Digger is back, and this time has taken Booth. They find him alive, after catching the FBI woman responsible. Jared helps them find him, but he has to break rules in order to be able to save him in time, and is later arrested for this.
15 - The princess and the pear - Booth has back problems, so Brennan works again with agent Perotta from ep. 13. This episode's assistant is Mr. Fisher... :-/ I don't know, I'm not very fond of him, although I should, since he admitted he's a fantasy geek, he said he loves it all: Star Trek, Star Wars, Xena, Akira, Buffy, even Fringe (and apparently his girlfriend dumped him for it... why is that?? Where is it written that girls don't like all that stuff?? Personally, I love it!!!). They go to Imagicon.
(case: they discover the victim was dressed in a cosplay outfit, from Imagicon, and had a sword, Excalibur, the real prop from Le Morte D'Arthur, the first fantasy film ever made... did they make this up or is it real? I haven't checked, maybe I will sooner or later, if I remember. They find it, and plan a fake auction, then Sweets and Bones are in a car and get thrown off the road, and then attacked by a black Knight who came to steal the sword, but Bones fights with him and takes it back. They find him, and it turns out he gave the victim his most valuable possession, worth tens, hundreds of thousands, because he loved her, and she tried to sell it for rent)
16 - The bones that foam - The assistant Mr. Nigel-Murray!! yeah!!! :-) He was really adorable this episode, wasn't he??? And he was starting to bond :-)
Camille: so, when you spout facts, it's your way of maintaining focus?
Vincent: facts are the stitches that hold the fabric of existence together.
Camille: in that case, is it individual chop sticks, or pair?
:-) Cam is great, I like her very much. At first I was a bit sorry that she replaced Dr. Goodman, because I liked him, but she's a great character, with much more space for development.
Bones asks Sweets to help her connect with people like booth does. Then, Bones watches with interest while a girl lap dances on Booth's lap... omg she's incredible, she really is, meaning simply that it was hard to believe she would just feel interest with no embarassmente whatsoever... is she a woman or what??
And she must always be the best at everything, she's right in saying that she lacks empathy, and modesty too I'd add. Sometimes I ask myself how can they stand her, this seems to be the real fiction, even more than the cases. Nobody ever tells her what an ass she's being, always telling everyone how much smarter she is, how they don't matter while she's so important (do you remember the "there are hundreds of you and only one of me" line??), how she can do everything, what an excellent driver she is, even after she messed up the new car, and blah blah blah... aaargh!
(case: a body is found on the rocks, and there's a strange foam inside it. Because of the foam, the bones are disintegrating... so Angela does a virtual reconstruction... which seemed so stupid, just so stupid... from a few pieces you get the whole virtual skeleton, and you watch that to find clues, irregularities and whatnot. Absurd, simply stupid. How could they say it was accurate? How could they base their investigations on something like that? It's a random guess, it's not science, there's no way that starting from the bones of a leg you can reconstruct the virtual skeleton and find the specific wound in the chest that will make you catch the right killer... come on! Lucky for Booth that the woman confessed that she killed because he saw her cheating on her husband, otherwise he wouldn't have had a case...)
17 - The salt in the wounds - The assistant is Mr. Arastoo Vaziri, from Iran, who simply takes spiritual breaks every time he needs to pray. no surprise that Brennan acts all intollerant, like she always is with Booth! She thinks only what she says it's true, so she's offensive to everyone, thinking they are all wrong and talking stupidity, while actually she's the one betraying science with her obstracysm to religion! Doesn't she know that you can't say something is impossible until you can prove that it is not possible??
Roxie breaks up with Angela, and Angela then has sex with Hodgins in the storage room... did they forget there are security cameras in there???
Brennan looked so upset that Cam was right, that she even discovered the cause of death, what with her always saying that bones are the most important thing... but at least she ackknowledges the fact that she had been wrong. Also, Angela is worried because Bones approves of the way she conducts her love life...
(case: they find the remains in salt of a teenage footballer, who like several other team girls was also pregnant. The leader was the first, she felt so much pressure on her that was happy to be pregnant and put a stop to it all, and the other girls wanted to be like her. The victim was killed by the doctor she was trying to blackmail to get some money)
18 - The doctor in the den - the assistant is Clark. Apparently Angela took Sweets advice to abstain from sex for a while. Well, he suggested six months, but I don't know if she'll be able to do that.
Cam takes Michelle in with her. We meet Clark's beautiful girlfriend. :-) And once again, like sometimes happen, I could almost hear the 'action' shouted before a scene, so obvious it was that they were all still, waiting for the order to say their line... I like this show, but these things shouldn't happen, it's not very professional..
(case: Dr. Andrew Welton is found murdered. Cam had lived with him for two years, although she hasn't seen him in 10 years. He was killed by a jealous nurse.)
19 - The science in the physicist - The assistant today is Mr. Nigel Murray!!! Hello Vincent! I was so glad to see him and Jack do experiments together, and outside eating together...:-) Maybe they'll bond and we'll see more of Vincent! I hope so, I like him very much!
Angela's dad comes to punish Jack for screwing things up with Angela, and they are all scared, but Angela asks him to go easily on Jack, so he simply leaves him with a big tattoo of Angela's face on his shoulder.
Who is Angela's dad?? Is the actor someone famous? Is he a real musician??
Can you believe how offensive Brennan was this whole episode? Telling Booth "you wouldn't understand" like he's some kind of idiot, as if she was an ace in all kinds of science! Well, she's not.
Again, "I figured out a long ago how stupid you are", then trying to express herself better "I don't care how stupid you are"... she can't say it better because truth is she does think him stupid. Speaking of intelligence, she went on: there are people who have it, like her and Vincent, Angela not so much but she's talented... and Angela says thank you... okay, I guess in Brennan's way that really was a compliment, wasn't it? :-)
(case: the editor of the most important science journal is killed by a young scientist who didn't want to share credit.)
20 - The Cinderella in the cardboard - While investigating, Booth and Brennan see Daisy trying on a wedding dress and hugging a man, and are convinced that she's engaged to him, while going out with Sweets. She wants to tell Sweets but Booth insists that it's none of their business, but when she finally finds herself alone with Sweets, without Booth to stop her, she tells him everything. She just couldn't keep it shut, could she? As always, she was convinced her judgement was better than Booth's, that she was right. He's shocked, and asks for Booth's advice on what to do, than confronts her. It turns out Daisy was trying on the dress for her cousin who's out of town, because the dress was 50% off for a day only, and they're the same size. The man was her cousin's fiancée..so Brennan wanted to avoid him pain, instead she had caused it for no reason, and she went to tell Booth. She admits to experience jealousy herself, of Angela, Jack, Cam, him... because of how they live and feel things, and she can't do that.
Wendell asks Jack out with him and his girl friends, and Jack goes. I really like that all of the assistants are getting their space, and being part of the group.
(case: a future bride also used a dating service called Date Or Hate to meet other men, and the guy of that agency killer her because she didn't want him, didn't even look at him)
21 - Mayhem on a cross - Bones knows how to say skull in several languages :-) The assistant is Clark. And... Dottor Wyatt is back!!! Stephen Fry!!! hooray! Dr Wyatt is here because Sweets wrote a book about Booth and Brennan's relationship, but doesn't agree on his view of it, he says they're no opposite at all, also on the fact that they are avoiding a romantic relationship to avoid endangering their friendship, Wyatt tells him that only one of them is aware of it, not both.It's true, of course, we know it, but I can't believe that Sweets asked "which one?". Come on, really?? Also Wyattis retiring, and he reveals he played guitar while young: he was Noddy Comet :rofl: and Booth knew his music .-) We see Sweets' shoulders are full with scars.. it turns out Sweets was adopted when he was 6 by loving old people who died just before he came to work here; Wyatt wants them to make him feel at home, so Brennan shares a sad memory from her foster days, and asks Booth to do the same, then they take him to dinner at Booth's place where Wyatt is cooking. Oh I love Wyatt!! So sorry this will probably be the last time we see him.. Stephen Fry is great :-)
At the end, we see that Sweets has changed the title of his book from "opposite attracts: yin and yang in the workplace" to "Bones - the heart of the matter".
It was funny when Booth was directing her during the interrogation, when she lied and played tough :lol:
(case: a rave in Norway. Local police finds that the skeleton on the stage is real, and of an american, so they send it to the Jeffersonian. How can they tell how heavy he was just by looking at the bones? Ok, the weight on the bones, yeah, but it seems very sci-fi anyway. The victim was a bassist killed by one of his band because he wanted to leave them for another band.)
22 - The double death of the dearly departed - this was a strange episode :lol:
(case: it's Dr Reilly's wake, of the Jeffersonian, and they all knew him, except Bones doesn't remember him. After paying their respects, it's Brennan's turn, and instead she examins the body and says he was murdered, so they sneak him away :lol: Bones and Cam examine the body at the lab: it seems he did have a heart attack, but was alive when sent to the undertaker who stabbed him 7 times.. because he was scared when suddently the body had opened his eyes while being...prepared. This is because the heart attack wasn't natural, he was poisoned... with tea leaves, by his mom, because she wanted to leave the money to the other son.)
23 - The girl in the mask - Bones has to decide which assistant to hire... :-( I don't want to lose Vincent, but I feel she won't choose him...
Bones words "I'm not convinced that loving someone is worth it" meaning the pain of the loss.
(case: Booth's friend Nakamura is worried for his sister. They look for her and find her remains. Ken brings in the help of Dr Tanaka, and they make such a fuss about finding out if she's a man or a woman-at the end they say male, which is absurd, it's clearly a woman.)
24 - The beaver in the otter - The assistant is Mr Vaziri again. Jared is fired with "dishonourable discharge", and now he wants to go to India on a bike trip. Booth lets him go alone, for once, it might do him some good to stand alone without his big brother, for once. Brennan is as always so skeptical as to be insulting to Sweets, because she can't understand it.
At the end, Booth makes Bones believe that they're doing something bad (exciting) by leaving the bar without paying, but he leaves money on the counter before following her, running outside :-) She seemed a child :-) He really loves her, doesn't he?
(case: a frat guy assaulted a girl and she fired a nail gun at him, then tried to help but he pulled it out himself and died.)
25 - The critic in the cabernet - The assistant is Mr. Fisher.
Bones says she wants a baby, and asks Booth to be the sperm donor. She says "emotional ties are ephemeral and undependable. I've thought this through, rationally" You see here why she hates psychology? Because she needs it, that's why. She clearly has big problems, fear of abandonment, of being hurt again...
Booth has hallucinations again... but this time Brennan sees him talking to thin air, and she forces him to go to the hospital, where they say it's brain tumor, usually benign, but he has to undergo surgery.
(case: a wine critic's remains are found in wine)
26 - The end in the beginning - This episode has the same effect that those Star Trek episodes had on me, you know, those with dreams or whatnot where you saw every actor playing a different character, without their usual make-up... here they have different clothes, in a different scenario.
Vincent here is so cute, with that red shirt, still I can't wait to hear him talking. Love him when he talks. .-)
Loved it when he said "I'm not gonna fare well in jail. I'm lovely" :lol: yes you are, Vincent, indeed you are.
When Hodgins was at the bar, was he using an Irish accent?? Because I thought he was pretending to be drunk! About Vaziri, I will have to google this actor, I'm sure I've seen him somewhere, I mean in some other show, but I can't place him... damn my stupid memory.
Sweets sings in a band called Gormogon. At the end, we see it was Brennan writing a book, waiting for Booth to wake up at the hospital. She's unusually sentimental, but there she is, deleting the whole thing! Apparently Booth has been in a coma for four days, now he wakes up and asks "who are you?"-The End.
(story: Jared and Cam are the cops investigating, Mr Booth owns the club called "the lab", Bones is his wife who's never seen a dead body before, Sweets is the bartender, Vincent is the dj, Wendell is the security guard... there are also Daisy, Fisher, Angela and Zach working there. There is Max, not clear if friend or foe, Mr Vaziri who wants to buy the place, Caroline is the lawyer representing them for the case, Hodgins is a pulp crime novelist, there's also Clark)
Bones season 3
Big things happening in this season! Big things and surprising finale!
John Francis Daley is now part of the show as psycologist Sweets, and I don't like this very much. I preferred the Stephen-Fry shrink. I wanted more episodes with him!! Now it's sometimes annoying, always mocking him for being so young, and ignoring him even when they're in his office for a sessions, and avoiding him in any way... it might be funny if... I don't know actually, I think it's rude and disrespectful, and someone should let them know.
1 - The widow's son in the windshield - Zach is in Iraq, been there for 3 months now, so we meet Clark Edison, here to replace him. Raphael Sbarge is the private investigator called to look for Angela's husband. Booth and Camille clearly has no problem after breaking-up, they're friends who enjoy time together, and eat together and talk. Bones is avoiding Booth, Angela says because she freaked out when she was left at the altar with Booth... then Zach comes back :-) I'm sorry for Clark though, seemed nice. Bones apparently was mad at Booth for not stopping Zach from going to Iraq. The case is just started, they don't catch the cannibal, they're not even close.
2 - Soccer mom in the mini-van - A woman blown-up in her van turns out to be the same woman accused of murdering a cop years ago, but she always said she didn't kill him, and she was probably right. Sometimes they should call Cal Lightman (from Lie to me), to make things easier. Anyway, another husband who killed his way because he thought that she was cheating on him, while actually she wasn't. She wanted to do the right thing, turning herself in, and trying to convince a man to do the same.
3 - Death in the saddle - Angela tries hypnosis to find out who was her husband, but she only sees a giant wasp, which was the cover of the book where she had put their picture with his name.
case:The dead man liked to role-play pretending he was a horse. A woman killed him because he wouldn't leave his wife for her.
4 - The secret in the soil - Booth and Bones see another FBI therapist, a 22 years old doctor . Why not Stephen Fry anymore?? I don't like their attitude now, I mean even less than before. They always hated psycology, but now with this one being so younger than them, they have no restraing. A bit of politeness might be nice, you know...
Denise Crosby plays the widow in this episode. It's been a long time since I saw Tasha Yar... :)
It's odd sometimes, like at 31.45 minutes in the episode you can see Zach standing still, and then starting the scene. In my mind, I could almost hear the 'action', or whatever they say. You shouldn't notice that. I don't like when it's so obvious that they are acting. I mean, they are, I know they are, but the whole point of a film is that I shouldn't notice!
case: the daughter of the victim accidentally killed the girl she thought was having an affair with her father, while in fact she was his daughter too. A friend helped her with the body, and killed the father to avoid him knowing and telling.
5 - Mummy in the maze - They find the mummies of sixteen years old girls, and they all dress up for the Halloween party. Hodgins is the captain of the titanic, Camille is Catwoman, Booth is a nerd squint, Zach is the back of a cow, Brennan is Wonder Woman, Angela is Cher. The girl investigating Angela's husband makes sure she doesn't want to go back to him :-)
"Einstein referred to such assumptions as acceptable intuitive leaps" - "I ackknowledge Einstein as a scientific authority" : Brennan and Zach :-)
Booth and Brennan go catch the bad guy in the subway in their costumes, and when they found the girl surrounded by snakes, Brennan freaks out, she's "not in control of my actions", and hop onto Booth's back.
The two of them won't go to the party, but they save a girl, shooting the killer clown.
6 - Intern in the incinerator - Funny how Booth can guess all of Bones' passwords, because he knows her. After daffodil, there's daisy, her second favourite flower, then Jupiter. :-) We meet Felicia, Cam's sister.
The incinerator is in the Jeffersonian. Kristen was an intern that Angela knew. She was working on authentications of all the things found in the cannibal's vault, that they now call Gormogon. Booth has to go with Camille to a family dinner, her father's birthday dinner, because she didn't tell dad they broke up. The prime suspect in the killing of Kristen is found hanged. The head of Authentications was a smuggler, he killed Kristen probably by accident, but then killed Dr. Aldridge to frame him as the killer.
7 - Boy in the time capsule - They continue the therapy sessions with Sweets, and apparently he has a girlfriend. After Booth laughed at Bones' humiliating story from school, he finally in the end tells her his humiliating story, of how he did nothing to defend a guy mistreated at school, but just stood there and laughed. Well, I get Booth story, that's actually deep, but Bones' story.. ok, maybe it did hurt at the time, I understand that, but it's not that much.. this boy was her secret santa, and gave her a 'brainy smurf', in front of everybody, while she liked smurfette, so how was that humiliating??
While retrieving the time capsule buried 20 years ago, are found the remains of a boy killed at the time, when he was a 17 years old student. It was his best friend, angry that he wanted to leave their partnership because he loved a girl, and hit him.
8 - The knight on the grid - Russ' girlfriend Amy comes to Brennan and she helps her with a good doctor's recommendation, no charge. She also wants to see Russ again, but he's on the run, if he shows up he'll be arrested. Well, Russ comes back for Hailey, and is arrested but Booth in the end helps him a bit.
They find more on Gormogon, another victim plus a skeleton done from 18 victims or more: a lot anyway. That was finished by the Master, now his apprentice is the new master and will have to find a new apprentice . He tries to kill Booth and Brennan, but escapes and keeps killing.
9 - The santa in the slush - It's three days before Christmas, and they find a dead Santa. Brennan's dad wants a Christmas with the family, so Brennan asks Caroline's help to make it happen, since he's in jail, and Russ too. Caroline, in return, wants to witness while Brennan gives Booth a real kiss on the lips under the mistletoe, so Brennan arranges it at her office, and after the kiss they both look pretty shaken :lol:
Brennan has Christmas in jail with dad, Russ and his new family. Booth has Parker for a day, and as a gift he shows Brennan a Christmas tree out of the prison's window.
10 - The man in the mud - Sweets wants to go on a double date, his girlfriend and him, with Booth and Brennan, at a ceramic class to test how they interact without talking about work. But April is... I don't like her; they are fine, having fun, but poor Sweets, he's not. At the end, they see Sweets just after he's been dumped by her, he's so down they take him bowling.
case: two motorcycle riders die. They catch the girl who killed them, one intentionally, but not her brother.
11 - Player under pressure - Cam finds a security video of Angela and Hodgins having sex in the storage area, where they thought there were no cameras.
case: a basketball player in a college was killed by the guard who caught him with his daughter.
12 - The baby in the bough - Brennan is slowly, very slowly, becoming more human :-) or accepting her human side, if you like. How funny is it when she makes the baby laugh by doing "flying phalanges" for him...
case: a man was killed and a woman witnessed, so she got killed too, leaving little baby Andy alone and Brennan takes care of him, until the moment to give him to friends of the mother.
13 - The verdict in the story - Max's trial approaches, so Brennan and Booth don't work cases together this episode. Not being partners, they cut the therapy sessions for now. "Lame. I thought I was doing a good job".. poor Sweets. Then there is the trial, and we see Clark again, working on Max's side, and doing a good job, but not enough, so in the end Brennan has the idea to plant in the jury the doubt that Max wasn't the only one with motive, means and time to kill the man, she also had all those things, so in the end her dad walks free and they hug.
14 - The wannabe in the weeds - We hear Zach sing! In the lab... :lol:
case: a singer in a sort-of-karaoke bar, but with his own songs, was killed by his neighbour because he was too loud, with the music and the singing. In the meantime, a girl that stalked the victim starts stalking Booth. At the end, Brennan sings "girls just wanna have fun" in that bar; she sings well, all having fun and jumping up and down and everything, until Pam shows up, annoyed that Booth has eyes only for Brennan, so tries to shoot her, but he puts himself on the way and gets shot. Bones is out of herself, but of course they don't show us if he'll be fine, because it was supposed to be a major cliffhanger for the last episode, I guess. Anyway, these are things that 'might' work first time they pass on tv , but not when you already know he's done at least another four or five seasons...
15 - The pain in the heart - it starts with a trick, when they try to make you believe that he's dead, talking about his funeral. They all went, Caroline talk about him, and when soldiers prepare the shoots due to his position in the military, we can clearly see him among the other shooters. At least it's not a dream, they're not faking it either. The bureau orchestrated the whole thing,m and they didn't know. As soon as they see him, right after helping him by hitting the man he was fighting with, Brennan knocks him down with a punch, out of herself in rage. Then they get another gift from Gormogon. During an experiment, Zach is severely injured, specially his hands. The explosion was a diversion to steal the skeleton, an inside job, which means Gormogon is in the Jeffersonian. Dr Sweets thinks it's Hodgings, and Camille thinks it's Sweets. I really like Hodgins' fragile side.:-) But that hospital scene, maybe they wanted to make it look like Hodgins didn't want Zach to say something in front of Angela, but I never thought it could be Hodgins, and Sweets didn't really make sense... But it was a real surprise when it turned out to be Zach!! Zach was the apprentice. He tells them where to find him and Booth shoots him. Brennan thinks logic was involved in Zach's decision, but Caroline thinks different "a strong personality finds a weak personality and takes advantage". Remember episode three? When Booth said that some people just give up, thinking they'll never found love, they showed Zach. Giving up, hoplessness.. make someone weak, and this master took advantage of that.
They say that Zach never ate anyone, but he killed the last victim...
John Francis Daley is now part of the show as psycologist Sweets, and I don't like this very much. I preferred the Stephen-Fry shrink. I wanted more episodes with him!! Now it's sometimes annoying, always mocking him for being so young, and ignoring him even when they're in his office for a sessions, and avoiding him in any way... it might be funny if...

Bones season 2
As I said for season 1, Bones still has major psycological problems, but no intention to even admit it. Still, it's easy to play all rational, saying there's no reason in being diplomatic or hypocrate because the truth is the truth, and there's no reason to be hurt by hit, facts are facts, and blah blah blah. Easy when you're smart, successfull, tall, thin, pretty, strong... but she's at fault too, and a bit hypocrate, because if someone was to mention her psycological problems, she'd jump at them, denying it, saying she's perfectly fine, no problem at all, actually denying the truth. It's easy for her to judge others, but she doesn't one anyone to judge her.
Episode 10 ends with no bad guy caught, I hope they'll get back to him again, one day, I'd like to know who this grave digger is!
1 - The titan on the tracks - Bones and Russ has decided to keep looking for their father. They meet Dr. Camille Saroyan, and Booth and her already know each other. She's the new head of Forensics. She was hired because she has people skills, Bones doesn't. Cam calls Zach Zacharoni :-) She's already noticed something that Brennan had no idea about after knowing him for much longer. The man who killed her mother is killed in prison.
(case: Senator Paula Davis and Warren Lynch were killed. It turns out it wasn't Lynch, just made it look like it. )
2 - Mother and child in the bay - Booth is jealous of the time Parker spends with his ex Rebecca's boyfriend Drew, and in the end they all meet and try to make peace for Parker's sake.
(case: a depressed woman killer her just-born baby in an attempt to stop him crying, and then killed pregnant Carly and took her baby, replacing it with hers.)
3 - The boy in the shroud - Brennan and Camille have a hard time working together, and Camille can't fire her because she has all the team and even Booth on her side, so eventually they try a way to keep it civil.
(case: it turns out a 15 years old foster girl's boyfriend was killed by her little brother who thought he was going to take her away from him.)
4 - The blonde in the game - Jack and Angela start to look a bit closer to each other...
(case: they find another one of Epps' victims, and then another one killed recently. They find his accomplice and Brennan shoots him dead to save Booth, also saving his last victim.)
5 - The truth in the lye - :lol at Brennan looking all proud because she knows what the Oscars are... .-)
Booth and Rebecca sometimes get back together for a night, and he tells Bones how he proposed when she got pregnant, but she said no , and to Brennan's question of why, Rebecca said she had always taken care of herself, that when she realised it had been a mistake their 'moment' had gone.
(case: a man with fragile bones, and also with two families and another girl)
6 - The girl in suite 2103 - Jack keeps hitting on Angela. Bones has no problem talking openly of the size of short people, when she finds herself in fron of/against one.
(case: A suite gets blown up, 4 people are dead and a waitress. Booth has to face problems with Diplomatic Immunity. An ambassador killed a girl because she slept both with her husband and her son.)
7 - The girl with the curl - Jack asks Angela on a date, she says no but then asks for advice and Brennan doesn't know what to say but Cam says Go! Cam was sure it would go horribly, but no, it's really very very nice. So nice, Angela gets scared and decides to end it before it all goes horribly wrong. You know, I didn't much like Hodgins before, but around Angela he's so sweet, not only in words and actions, but his eyes, his voice, his behaviour too. Just so sweet.
(case: the little Beauty Queen is found dead, a 9 years old girl with dyed hair, false teeth and a lot of make-up. What a sad thing, to dress up a 9 y.o. as an adult, even giving her sexy dresses. Sad and disgusting. The father didn't agree with the show. Also, they found that "so mom bound, starved and drugged her". So, there's this two pageant contestants, Brianna being all mean and offensive, and the other kicking her in response. Brianna fell and died. )
8 - The woman in the sand - huh, there's the song Viva Las Vegas, that I heard in the show Blackpool :-)
(case: two bodies in the Las Vegas desert, so they go to Vegas, and Booth is in a casino, him being an ex-gambler, but he ends up carrying Brennan out because SHE starts playing and winning counting the cards and saying it out loud!! They meet a friend of Booth, and they try to disguise as a newlywed couple, and he chooses her outfit. Then he has a fight in the 'fight club', and she bets on him, as a scaramantic way of helping him win, not to make money out of it, and helps him win with words too, by telling him where to hit his opponent. )
9 - Aliens in a spaceship - it starts with Brennan and Hodgins buried alive in a car, and she says that 'the grave digger' must have caught them. Then a flashback: 48 hours earlier they found the bodies of two teenage boys, twins. Someone kidnaps people and bury them, then if you pay the ransom they tell you where to dig them up, if you don't pay you never found them. Booth receives the ransom call for Brennan and Hodgins, and Jack is hurt, in pain, so Bones operates on his leg and he confesses to be stupid crazy in love with Angela, and also how rich he is. They succeed in sending a sms to Booth, but they have so few seconds Jack can only send a few numbers. They are saved, but they don't have yet caught him.. In the car, he says that it's been a privilege, those things they say when they think they might die, and she just hugs him. Back in the lab, he says to Angela he's afraid to go to sleep, so she invites him to her home because 'when you'll wake up, I'll be there'. Sweet...
10 - The headless witch in the woods -
(case: two boys and a girl went into the woods to investigate the myth of a witch, and now one is scared, one is found beheaded and the girl is in a mental institution. Brennan says she knows about Booth and Cam and goes on a coffee-date with the victim's brother, who like her lost his parents at an early age, and remained alone with a brother, and sees him again, but it turned out it was him who killed the boy.)
11 - Judas on a pole - Aaaand assistant us attorney Caroline Julian is back!! I'm glad, I like her a lot, she's very funny, I hope we'll see more and more of her. Brennan meets her dad!!! and he goes away with Russ. Zach has his doctorate, and after a makeover is hired among them, and Brennan hugs him for congratulations. They find another body, Booth's boss' boss' boss, who suspended him, but thanks to the proof that 'dad' provided he's ok again.
12 - The man in the cell - In a science journal there's the whole team and Booth in a picture with the title ' how forensic anthropology is helping the fbi solve crimes'.
(case: Howard Epps escapes. He targets Brennan's team. firstly he kills his own wife, then Cam gets into a hospital because of poison, then they survive a bomb. They were kinda stupid, though, Brennan and Zach. Booth was checking for bombs, and they thought it was absurd, didn't believe it was necessary, and Zach mostly, because he came forward and triggered the bomb. They could save Cam, but Epps is now in Brennan's house, but they were expecting him, and he threw himself off the balcony. It ends with Booth saying that what happened to Cam was because the had a relationship, that people who work in high-risk situations like them should not have relationships, it's dangerous. Of course he talked about Cam, but what we all hear is that he and Bones should NOT cross that line...
13 - The girl in the gator - OMG Booth's shrink is Stephen Fry!!! I didn't know he had worked in 'Bones'!! He's Dr. Gordon Wyatt. ok, "I suggest you cogitate on the underlying reason you shot that clown while I make us some tea" : how Stephen-Fry is this line?!?!?! 'you are so English' Booth tells him, then he starts explaining the word 'barbecue'... :lol: did they write the part and its lines especially for him?? That was a great surprise!!
Bones is working now with agent Sullivan, 'Sulli', another old friend of Cam. Sully is actually a great guy.
14 - The man in the mansion - Brennan is going out with Sully, and Booth is in therapy!!
Brennan is incredible, I couldn't believe she was talking openly to Sully about..you know, size..
(case: the dead man is someone that Jack knew, so he takes a picture where they were together so nobody will know and they won't keep him out of the case. He asks the widow to pretend she doesn't know him, and it takes her two seconds before she goes 'what kind of doctor is Jack?' at Booth, and I was : Come on!! Is she so bad at lying?? It's so obvious she shouldn't know his name...oh well, I must remember she just got her husband killed, after all. So, poor Hodgins is found out and out of the case, and we meet Caroline again, the prosecutor in this case. I love this Caroline character!! "You are losing it! dropping serial killers off balconies, and blabbing suspects' names to vengeful fathers, cutting heads before their times, getting poisoned, getting blown up because you go grabbing for things you shouldn't, taking photographs from frames, getting a perfectly good car smashed to bits for no good reason. Get it together. Start using your oversized heads. This is the real world. Now, I know Bug Man here handed in his resignation. My official Justice Department recommendation is the following. We win the case, he gets his job back. We lose, Booth shoots him" She's great!!! and, is it just me, or Brennan smiled because she was she only one who didn't figure in all this speech?? :-D
15 - The bodies in the book - Brennan has interviews and book-signings ahead, we meet her book publicist Hellen and her assistant Hank. Funniest thing of the episode? When Cam says "at the end of your books, Kathy Reichs always gets the murderer" :lol: They called Brennan's character in the books Kathy Reichs :lol: later, Booth also names her.
They find a body, and all the details are those of her book. Sully and Booth both wants to protect her, but she's against it, of course. She doesn't want Sully to be all protective, so much Booth says "I know you. Somebody gets close, you push them away", and to Sully "don't let her bully you into leaving, man!".
Hellen is the third victim. They catch the killers and Brennan and Sully are at peace together.
16 - The boneless bride in the river - it starts with a pun from Brennan: 'no bones, no Bones' :lol:
Brennan passes time with Sully because the body has no bones, but is soon back on the job because Booth keeps calling her. Then Sully asks her to go away with him for like a year, on his new boat, and Angela and Booth tell her to go, but she says she can't, she cried a bit and watched him sail away on the boat he called 'Temperance'. I'm sorry, I liked Sully a lot, he really was worth it, a great guy. I know she's got to end up with Booth, but this one was a good one.
17 - The priest in the churchyard - ok can I just say how annoying is Brennan with all her science, attacking religion and just pretending to 'make conversation', which she's clearly not. Like some fanatics always try to sell their version of God, she's trying to sell her own version in which he doesn't exist. She says she's all rational , and God can't possibly be explained therefore he can't possibly exist, and I'd like to reply to her that a real scientist should never rule something off as impossible until it can be proven that it's not possible. She CAN NOT prove that God doesn't exist, so she should just shut up and sit in Galileo's corner!
"I will speak my mind" Oh God, I usually like and admire her, but at times like this... aaaargh. Have a bit of respect and shut up!!!!!!
Stephen Fry is counselling again!! and she's almost explaining to him who Shakespeare is... He helps them anyway, because apparently they were both afraid that her ties with Booth prevented her to go sailing away with Sully, while it was that she's "unable to live a life without focus", an explanation Brennan is happy to accept, although Angela doesn't buy it. He just said it so they could keep working together.
18 - The killer in the concrete - They find a body buried in cement, discover a hitman presumed dead is alive but retired, and someone else takes Booth and tortures him; Brennan finds help in her father and they save him.
19 - Spaceman in a crater - Finally, what I believe true: "you're taking a shot at me because I believe that we are not all alone in an infinity of space?" - "it's not the believing in extraterrestrial life that's odd, it's the believing that they're visiting us". Right, what I think. If the universe is so big, infinite even, how arrogant is to say that ours is the only inhabited planet??? How can they say it?? So arrogant, it is. But on the other hand, it you believe it possible that other planets are inhabited, why must it be that they want to invade us??? I guess it's because that's what humans would do, come to think of it....
I also liked this bit "little green men?" "Grey. They're grey. Not green, grey", it reminded me of X-files, first episode.
Jack proposes to Angela, but she says no. Although she loves him a lot.
(case: an old astronaut was killed to prevent him to go into space again, and make space for the young astronaut, by the young man's wife. .)
20 - The glowing bones in the old stone house - Angela finally get engaged and Bones cooks for Booth.
(case:A young chef is found dead, and Brennan knew her. She was killed by her jealous and betrayed best friend).
21 - Stargazer in a puddle - Her dad comes into the lab and Booth arrests him, but he has another identity, and he has to prove that he's Max Keenan. Brennan is so glad when Angela asks her to be her bridesmaid.
Max gives Brennan her mother's ring and a videotape of her, then lets Booth arrests him. Angela and Hodgins' marriage is put off because she's already married (yeah, actually we've heard that before, when they were under security-scrutiny...), so they ran off together, but I didn't get this part. Why did they run? Simply to avoid explanations?? Or just to leave Bones and Booth at the altar??
End of season 2. The DVD's gag reel was so stupid, all intentional noises and faces, that I couldn't watch through it.
Episode 10 ends with no bad guy caught, I hope they'll get back to him again, one day, I'd like to know who this grave digger is!
1 - The titan on the tracks - Bones and Russ has decided to keep looking for their father. They meet Dr. Camille Saroyan, and Booth and her already know each other. She's the new head of Forensics. She was hired because she has people skills, Bones doesn't. Cam calls Zach Zacharoni :-) She's already noticed something that Brennan had no idea about after knowing him for much longer.

15 - The bodies in the book - Brennan has interviews and book-signings ahead, we meet her book publicist Hellen and her assistant Hank. Funniest thing of the episode?

She doesn't want Sully to be all protective, so much Booth says "I know you. Somebody gets close, you push them away", and to Sully "don't let her bully you into leaving, man!".
Hellen is the third victim. They catch the killers and Brennan and Sully are at peace together.
16 - The boneless bride in the river - it starts with a pun from Brennan: 'no bones, no Bones' :lol:
Brennan passes time with Sully because the body has no bones, but is soon back on the job because Booth keeps calling her. Then Sully asks her to go away with him for like a year, on his new boat, and Angela and Booth tell her to go, but she says she can't, she cried a bit and watched him sail away on the boat he called 'Temperance'.

"I will speak my mind" Oh God, I usually like and admire her, but at times like this... aaaargh. Have a bit of respect and shut up!!!!!!
Stephen Fry is counselling again!! and she's almost explaining to him who Shakespeare is...

Right, what I think. If the universe is so big, infinite even, how arrogant is to say that ours is the only inhabited planet??? How can they say it?? So arrogant, it is. But on the other hand, it you believe it possible that other planets are inhabited, why must it be that they want to invade us??? I guess it's because that's what humans would do, come to think of it....
I also liked this bit "little green men?" "Grey. They're grey. Not green, grey", it reminded me of X-files, first episode.
Jack proposes to Angela, but she says no. Although she loves him a lot.
(case: an old astronaut was killed to prevent him to go into space again, and make space for the young astronaut, by the young man's wife. .)
20 - The glowing bones in the old stone house - Angela finally get engaged and Bones cooks for Booth.
(case:A young chef is found dead, and Brennan knew her. She was killed by her jealous and betrayed best friend).

Why did they run? Simply to avoid explanations?? Or just to leave Bones and Booth at the altar??
End of season 2. The DVD's gag reel was so stupid, all intentional noises and faces, that I couldn't watch through it.
Bones - season 1
I usually like crime stories, so I like this one too, but Brennan and the other squints sometimes really get on my nerves. She clearly is fulled with emotional problems, which is why she says she hates psychology, because she has lots, really, but she doesn't want to confront them because she doesn't want to remember she has a heart. 'Put your heart in a box', she says, as the only way to do the job, but that is a good, great way only if at the end of the day you remember to take it out and put it back again in its place. Instead, she leaves it there permanently. Like always, in this kind of series, where the protagonists are a good-looking woman and a handsome man, we know they'll end up together sooner or later, even if I don't know when because I haven't seen it yet, but they will for sure, there's no doubt about it. Still, at least this time there's a reason why they don't get together from the start. It's not just the fact that it might be a problem, what with them working together and all, but mostly it's because of her emotional problems. She barely has friends. Angela seems to be the only one to love her, and Brennan is not totally able to understand and believe that. She's so used to being alone, she's convinced nothing can last forever, she thinks everyone will leave her one day, that she can only count on herself, and that listen to reason is the only right thing to do, the only thing she knows how to do, the only thing she understands. If they had a relationship before the time is right, she wouldn't be able to admit and accept the sentiment.
I don't like the holographic reconstruction very much, it looks so much like fake.. I don't know, maybe they use that thing, but it just looks unreal.
Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Michaela Conlin, Eric Millegan, Tj Thyne, Jonathan Adams
1 - Pilot - It starts with Bones coming back from Guatemala and being stopped at the airport by security until Booth comes to pick her up. She states that she'll help him with the investigations only if he'll let her in on the field. :-) Apparently she broke up with a certain Peter before going away, because he says she's emotionally cold and distant. People, ,like Peter and Booth, think she's distant and cold, that she can only communicate with bones, but not with people; then, there's her best friend Angela, who said to her "honey, you ever think that maybe you come off a little distant because you connect too much?" We're told that Brennan's parents disappeared when she was 15 and that Booth was an Army Ranger Sniper, before becoming and FBI investigator.
(case:Clee Louise Eller, the girl who had an affair with the senator. She finds out it wasn't the senator, but the man working for him, who feared to lose his job had that girl brought down the senator by causing a scandal with her pregnancy)
2 - The man in the Suv - First, I liked her outfit, with that long skirt and those boots, very pretty - Jack's conspiracy theories instead are quite boring. Angela thinks Booth likes Brennan, but then Bones finds blonde attorney Tessa half naked in his house and sees them kissing.
(case:A muslim man working for the President blows up in his car, murdered. It was his brother, and then they stop him before he uses another bomb at a crowded peace conference: Booth shoots him in the head before he can press the button.)
3 - A boy in a tree -
(case: a boy is found hanged from a tree in a private school campus, the son of the Venezuela Ambassador. A girl and his roommate wanted to blackmail people after taping them having sex, but he wouldn't accept it or keep it shut, so they murdered him.)
4 - The man in the bear - It was fun to see her in the local pub, dancing with everybody :-)
(case: a human hand is found inside a dead bear's body, and Brennan thinks he was killed, dismembered and fed to the bear. Because of a perverted ritual, someone wanted to eat : the guy's arm, a girl's heart.. and it was the doctor!)
5 - A boy in a bush - There's a banquet for people who make donations to their research, and they are all snobby about it, all 'I can't go, I won't go', they don't want to meet those people... this attitude made me a bit angry. They can do their work because those people give them their money. One evening of idle chit-chat is too much in return? Only Hodgins is excused because it turns out he has an actually good reason for not wanting to go: he's so rich, his family is among those people, and he doesn't want to go because he doesn't want to be recognized by them, because everything would change and he loves his life the way it is. Angela, Zach and Booth come to know about this, and in the end Booth helps him avoid the banquet.
Brennan's advice to go on: 'put your heart in a box' . Funny Angela's line 'Funny is Will Ferrell. Hot is Colin Farrell!' - At the end, Brennan had a very lovely dress .-) I liked Dr Goodman too .-)
(case:the remains of a young boy, a child, are found. His brother had brought him to a man, who abused him and then held him down with his knee on his chest, but the boy's body was weak and it broke. Bones makes it so the two foster kids will be able to stay with Margaret, the woman that chose to love them and that they love for this.
6 - The man in the wall - Bones goes to a club with Angela, and ends up causing a fight because she wouldn't shut up about tribes, and when she kicks a man, he breaks a wall revealing a 'mummy' behind. Also, we see Tessa again, if anyone's interested.
(case: the mummy behind the wall was a dj, and his girlfriend was murdered too. It was the owner of the club. I liked that undercover fbi agent! Glad he was really on the good side .-)
7 - The man on death row - No surprise someone like Bones is pro death-penalty... well, I think some people don't really think about it. First, what if there was a mistake, what if they murder an innocent man? There's no turning back after that. Second: that's not justice, that's legalized vendetta. Some say: what if the dead was someone you loved, and I say Yeah, I'd skin them personally, but I'd be an out-of-my-mind-because-of-pain-person, I wouldn't be the Government, the Country, it wouldn't be right, it wouldn't be justice, just revenge. Make them pay, without killing them, is the answer to me.
(case: Epps is due to be executed in 30 hours, but he manages to convince his idealistic lawyer Amy that he's innocent, so she goes to Booth for help, and he goes to Bones. They investigate, find new evidence, find new skeletons, and Booth understands they've been played. Now the execution will be stopped to investigate these new murders, then there'll be new appeals, things will take long before he'll have to face execution again. In the meantime, he'll be alive..)
8 - The girl in the fridge - Brennan's ex-teacher comes for a visit; she's very happy to see him, and they sleep together, and she brings him to the lab letting him on the case, only to discover later on that he's the expert for the defence, against her. His job is to destroy her case. Another problem is that in front of a jury, Bones comes off cold and dry, while Michael is hot and charming. In the end, the lawyer brings up her parents' disappearance to make her show she's not cold, not really, and she explains that what she feels doesn't mater, only Maggie matters, and how she struggled and fought and felt pain. Finally she lets the jury see there's a heart behind all that cold logic.
(case: in the trial, they say there was consensus, and that it was only an accident, that the girl had wanted to be there, while truth is that couple killed her. Maggie had struggled a lot, fought until the end, so she was in pain and they gave her more and more drugs to keep her quiet, until they gave her too much and she died.)
9 - The man in the fallout shelter - It's Christmas Eve, Angela wants to go to a party, Booth wants to go shopping for presents after dropping an old body to Bones, but while Zach is cutting the bones, a contaminating substance goes out and they must all stay there in quarantine now. Dr goodman talks about his two 5 years-old twin daughters, and Booth about his 4 year old son Parker. Bones talks to Angela about when her parents disappeared, just before Christmas, and her brother Russ, 4 years older than her, layed all the presents to do a nice thing for her, Christmas for his little sister, but seeing them she thought her parents were back and lost it, and refused to open them until they arrived. They play secret Santa between them, and Zach gives Booth his little robot for his kid, making him happy, because he says that that will make him the coolest dad in the world.
(case: a guy who's been sealed up in a fallout shelter for 50 years. The misterious man was Lionel Little, a white man in 1958 Oklahoma who got a black girl pregnant and wanted to sell his coin collection to go to Paris with her and marry her, but he was killed for the coins. Bones then makes phone calls all night to find Ivy Gillespie, the girl he never had the chance to marry, and when Ivy comes with her granddaughter, is happy to know it, and receives a penny worth 100.000 dollars )
10 - The woman at the airport - They have in the lab a 1500 years old corpse, an Iron Age warrior, and archeologist Dr Goodman takes care of the authentication. There's also talk about making a movie out of Brennan's book.
(case: Booth and Bones go to California, Los Angeles; the body of a call-girl is found dismembered by coyotes. She'd done a lot of plastic surgery on her face, and one of the doctors was played by actor Harry Groener (can't forget someone who was in Buffy and in StarTrek :-)) - It turns out it was another call-girl, who thought that she was stealing her man: jealousy)
11 - The woman in the car - Bones says on a tv interview that she has no intentions of having children. There's also a woman from Security interviewing them all to establish if any of them could represent a threat to national security, until she asks Brennan about a certain man from Cuba, and Brennan makes a phone-call and now it's her the threat to security :-)
(case:a woman found burned in a car. Mercenaries killed the wife and kidnapped the son of a witness; they find the 8 year old boy alive, without one finger but alive.)
12 - The superhero in the alley -
(case:a teenager is found dead dressed as a superhero. It turns out he knew a woman who got beaten up by her husband and wanted to make him stop, but he was ill and weak, so the husband killed him instead.)
13 - The woman in the garden - Brennan tells Angela of when she was shut in a cell with a bag over her head for three days and terrorised, right after she provoked a fight with a disgusting gang-leader and had beaten him up. When Booth hears that that gang-leader wants her dead, he takes care of threatening well to stay away from her.
(a body is found in the back of a car, but she had been dug up from a garden. The dead girl had a relationship with the senator's son, and their house-manager Hector pulled her off a ladder, causing her death.)
14 - The man on the fairway - this is the episode when Zach and Jack have fun feeding a frozen pig into a wood-chipper... who knows why. What's so funny about that? I don't understand people, sometimes, I really don't. It looks to me like a bad bad thing to do. I accept people are onnivores so they eat meat, but a totally different thing is to use a poor pig for fun!!! Anyway, they are caught by Dr Goodman, who succeeds in frightening Hodgins... :-) I like Dr Goodman .-) At the end, Bones asks Booth for the favour of looking at her parents' file.
(case:at the site of a private jet's crash Brennan finds that there are not only the remains of the five people on board, but also a unknown sixth person, plus three bone fragments of someone else. A guy Jesse Kane thinks they might belong to his father who disappeared years ago. Brennan and her collegues defy Dr Goodman's orders to identify the sixth body in order to work on the fragments. Unfortunately, it turns out it was not Jesse's father.)
15 - Two bodies in the lab - Brennan's chat friend asks to meet her. When Bones gets to the restaurant to meet the misterious friend, sho gets shot at, so Booth takes him for questioning: he's called David, and Bones likes him. Booth wants to sleep in Brennan's house to protect her, they listen to music and sing together, then he opens her fridge and it blows up! He's in the hospital but will be fine of course. At the end, Brennan had to go to a dinner scheduled with David, but she chose to stay in the hospital with Booth.
(case: two bodies are brought in the lab, mob business. Special Agent Jamie Kenton is on the Cugini case. Then Booth and Brennan have a body ripped apart by dogs: Booth has seen something like this before, two years ago, a 17 years old girl, but no dogs then. The psycho-serial-killer of the girl has lots of keys, and Bones understands he used those to gouge out the eyes of the victims. When Booth is stuck at the hospital, he trusts Kenton to look after Bones, right before realizing he killed the Cugini and now wants to kill Bones. She fights back a lot, but gets knocked down and almost killed, but Booth gets there just in time.)
16 - The woman in the tunnel - Brennan knows a movie! 'treasure of the sierra madre'
(case: a corpse found down in the tunnels, a 24 years old. A documentary film-maker, trying to make a documentary of the people living down there. She discovered that there is a treasure there dating back to the civil war. One of the two guys who taught her how to climb killed her to keep the treasure. At the end, Booth says 'Kyle hit the Duke with a candlestick in the crypt', from the game 'clue' and laugh with Dr Goodman, but Bones doesn't get it, doesn't know the game.
17 - The skull in the desert - Apparently 'every year for three weeks Angela has a boygfriend and a vacation', but this time Kirk has gone into the desert and hasn't come back for five-six days, so Brennan goes immediately there to help her. There's a skull of someone who's been shot. Brennan calls Booth : "what do you want me to do?" - "I want you to get federal on his ass!", and Booth smiles and comes to help her.
In the lab, Zach , Brennan's grad student, will soon have to leave his place.
(case: the skull if Kirk's, and his guide Dhani is still missing. They'll find her alive, they will arrest the counterfeiters, and also the person who shot Kirk:the local artist.
18 - The man with the bone - (case: the Fbi found a body with a bone in his hand, and gave it to Brennan. The bone is 300 years old. Maybe an old pirate treasure? Beware of Blackbeard's curse!! :-) "I believe there's greed. That's the real curse" yep, I'm with you on that. Funny when Brennan slaps twice the billionnaire's face to prove he's not Special Forces. :lol: At the end, Hodgins is in danger because he wanted to look for the treasure...
19 - The man in the morgue - Brennan is helping out in the body search after Hurricane Katrina. After joking with a collegue, we find her on the floor, deep in blood, and she doesn't remember what happened, she misses a day in her memories. Booth hurries there, worried sick for her. Graham, the doctor she was joking with , is found killed in some bad voodoo way and Brennan is charged with his murder. Booth asks a favour to prosecutor Caroline to defend her, and this is how she reassures her friends at the lab who know nothing of it all.
Angela - come home!
Brennan - don't worry, I made bail
Angela - bail? for what?
Brennan - I told you, don't worry, the murder charge won't stick
Hodgins - whoa. murder charge?
Angela - Brennan, the next plane or I'm coming down there to get you myself
Brennan - everything's fine. I'm healing up satisfactorily. bye for now
... yeah...
Then Hodgins says of how Brennan started changing the day she met Angela, "all fun and involvement. Booth gave her the opportunity, but she got the idea from you. Brennan wants a big life, like yours"
(case : the solution of the case: it was Giancarlo Esposito, a dark sorcerer, who even killed his own daughter to make it look like she'd done it, thinking of bringing her back to life later)
20 - The graft in the girl - The little girl of Booth's boss is in hospital with lung cancer. She had a broken leg, and they put into her a bone from a terminally ill person in their sixties who had cancer. Brennan and Booth track down the person who stole the dead bodies and sold them illegally, but nothing will change for the 15 years old girl. She's still gonna die, so Angela recreates the Louvre for her in virtual reality.
21 - The soldier on the grave - Apparently Brennan loves the Duke .-) and makes a really bad impersonation of John Wayne, and is also pretty sensible about her weight! She's a woman after all... and Booth is an ex-gambler, recovering, going to meetings...
(case: A burnt body is found on the grave of a soldier, but it was not the suicide of a anti-war protester, he was murdered. They discover that soldier Kent was killed by friendly fire, and then covered up. Also, it was against an un-armed family.)
22 - The woman in Limbo - Limbo is what they call the bone storage room, even if Bones doesn't like it.
We see again David, he's read her manuscript and they've clearly been seen each others, from their words.
(case: a Jane Doe from Limbo turns out to be her mother, found in 1998, they both got to the Jeffersonian at the same time. Her father was a teacher, her mother a book-keeper. Also a witness for the prosecution, twice, on evasion charges... and didn't exist before 1978... her parents were living under assumed identities. From the list of federal offenders, it turns out they were really Max and Ruth Keenan. Russ was already seven, so remembers it . He was called Kyle, and Temperance was called Joy. Her parents were robbers, but not too bad people. One day they joined with bad people and a job went badly, people got killed. It was 1978, when they changed identities. She was born in 1976, and they disappeared in 1991.At the end, they get the man who killed her mother, she makes peace with her brother who comes back to stay a few days at her place, and they hear a recorded message on her home phone: it's her father telling her to stop looking for him, and he sounds scared.
I don't like the holographic reconstruction very much, it looks so much like fake.. I don't know, maybe they use that thing, but it just looks unreal.
Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Michaela Conlin, Eric Millegan, Tj Thyne, Jonathan Adams
1 - Pilot - It starts with Bones coming back from Guatemala and being stopped at the airport by security until Booth comes to pick her up. She states that she'll help him with the investigations only if he'll let her in on the field. :-) Apparently she broke up with a certain Peter before going away, because he says she's emotionally cold and distant. People, ,like Peter and Booth, think she's distant and cold, that she can only communicate with bones, but not with people; then, there's her best friend Angela, who said to her "honey, you ever think that maybe you come off a little distant because you connect too much?" We're told that Brennan's parents disappeared when she was 15 and that Booth was an Army Ranger Sniper, before becoming and FBI investigator.
(case:Clee Louise Eller, the girl who had an affair with the senator. She finds out it wasn't the senator, but the man working for him, who feared to lose his job had that girl brought down the senator by causing a scandal with her pregnancy)
2 - The man in the Suv - First, I liked her outfit, with that long skirt and those boots, very pretty - Jack's conspiracy theories instead are quite boring. Angela thinks Booth likes Brennan, but then Bones finds blonde attorney Tessa half naked in his house and sees them kissing.
(case:A muslim man working for the President blows up in his car, murdered. It was his brother, and then they stop him before he uses another bomb at a crowded peace conference: Booth shoots him in the head before he can press the button.)
3 - A boy in a tree -
(case: a boy is found hanged from a tree in a private school campus, the son of the Venezuela Ambassador. A girl and his roommate wanted to blackmail people after taping them having sex, but he wouldn't accept it or keep it shut, so they murdered him.)
4 - The man in the bear - It was fun to see her in the local pub, dancing with everybody :-)
(case: a human hand is found inside a dead bear's body, and Brennan thinks he was killed, dismembered and fed to the bear. Because of a perverted ritual, someone wanted to eat : the guy's arm, a girl's heart.. and it was the doctor!)
5 - A boy in a bush - There's a banquet for people who make donations to their research, and they are all snobby about it, all 'I can't go, I won't go', they don't want to meet those people... this attitude made me a bit angry. They can do their work because those people give them their money. One evening of idle chit-chat is too much in return?

Angela, Zach and Booth come to know about this, and in the end Booth helps him avoid the banquet.
Brennan's advice to go on: 'put your heart in a box' . Funny Angela's line 'Funny is Will Ferrell. Hot is Colin Farrell!' - At the end, Brennan had a very lovely dress .-) I liked Dr Goodman too .-)
(case:the remains of a young boy, a child, are found. His brother had brought him to a man, who abused him and then held him down with his knee on his chest, but the boy's body was weak and it broke.
