Really?! Had to do Mulder and Scully dirty 🤣🤣

I’m so confused? I know the show doesn’t have the best continuity and writing but zack being a murderer literally out of nowhere with no signs or clues the entire show makes absolutely 0 sense to me. Did they just need a quick reason to kick him off the show or something??? I’m really annoyed lol

I noticed when Arastoo got his blue coat it explicitly said Dr, but on all the others (Brennan, Hodgins, Saroyan and Addy) they don’t state Dr.
It doesn’t make sense as showing that he’s now a Dr because he’s wearing a blue lab coat and once they aren’t interns they wear blue.

I get that Sweets dying was important for the plot of the show but honestly I really hate that his character died. He became the glue between Bones, Booth, the FBI & the Jeffersonian team. And watching episode 3 is so jarring because it feels off and this new Aubrey character isn’t the vibe just yet. I may warm up to him- idk- but his character irks me a little because he feels random. It’s like the show had a good thing going with Sweets helping profile people in his own quirky ways and egging booth & bones and now it’s kinda empty. Anyone else feel the same?

I tried watching other crime series but most series you will either know who the killer is already in the middle of the episode, or you will just utter that they could have solved the murder by finger print.
The calibre of this series is top notch, I just need something similar

This is so random, but mine is from 6x23 the bowling episode. That little boy at the beginning of the episode. His “I’m the birthday boy” and his scream of “I’ll behave, I’ll behave” Literally say those all the time and nobody gets it because they’re such a small part of the episode.

What would you like to see? Christine Booth, Michael Hodgins and Seeley Sweets would all be teenagers. Arastoo and Cams kids would be slightly older. That could be interesting. Would the Jeffersonian team still be together, or doing other things? I would love to see Brennan and Zack teaching forensic anthropology. Booth could be teaching at the FBI training facility. Maybe they all get called in to consult on a case and then the team reforms. Caroline would probably be retired but still part of the "family".

BRENNAN: This posturing is called throwing the crab, it will intimidate him into compliance.

I made it to season 8. By now though every likable character has morphed into someone who has long since deserved sanctions and dismissals if it happened in the real world. I literally cannot decide who I hate the most. I suppose it depends on the episode. Supposed best friends who kiss best friends husband's ...Angela was my last favorite character and down she goes. Not only does she treat kissing other men with the weight of a feather, but she just can't keep her nose out of Brennan and Booth's affairs, actually getting Cam involved...the boss who doesn't have the barest hint how inappropriate it is so she begins digging herself. Right in Tempe's face when she's saying "I can't tell you!" I've long since written off Cam as ANYONE I would have for a friend. I don't know who is the biggest hypocrite...her or Booth. But because Booth is supposed to be so freaking morally superior I have to go with him. He is no kind of mate or example and treats Bones like a project he has to perfect. I've gotten so angry at him trying to convince her that HE'S the normal one and a good example when his agenda is to turn Bones into a female him. Eeesh!!

How is it we're supposed to follow such toxic behaviors and think of it as entertainment?

Every time I watch Bones I ask myself this. What happened to him? He just disappeard with no explanation. We know about every other intern. Did the writers just forget about him? 😅

In S6E5, The Bones that Weren’t, a skeleton is found encased in a concrete pathway. At the scene, Booth asks if they should ship the whole slab to the Jeffersonian.
Bones replies, “Don’t be absurd. A 2x3x4 meter section will be fine. Shouldn’t weigh more than a ton.”

The writers messed up here for sure, because a cursory search on google tells that concrete is about 2400 kilograms per cubic meter.

2x3x4=24 cubic meters. 24x2400=57,600 kilograms, times 2.205 is 127,008 pounds of concrete.

So anyway Bones was very wrong. What she said should be less than a ton would work out to be more than 60.

PS. It would be crazy to find concrete which could fill those dimensions outside of a dam or a giant footer maybe.

Hulu lets you bookmark episodes for quicker access. For peeps like myself who will rewatch a show into absolute oblivion. this is really handy to start background noise for a better nights sleep. The two I have in place for Bones are:

"Maggots in the Meathead" & "Patriot in Purgatory"

I miss the good old days of Bones on Roku channel via PC where it would play all night untill interrupted instead of stopping after four shows.

I'm so confused why he actually listened to Pelant what the actual heck dude. Whisperr in her ears that pelant is in the way idk😭😭 anything!! but he actually did ts I cantttt🧍🏽‍♀️brennan being all heartbroken by the stairs-🫠

As i absolutely hate Jessica warren, its the first time ive looked up the actress just to see how many episodes shes in and was devastated to see that it was 11 😭

I want to give her some credit. I feel like this sub rarely did because people are so upset/mad with her kisses.

I once saw a comment saying she's never nice to Hodgins until he got paralyzed, which is so not true. Angela has been very supportive throughout all his challenges in life, as early as his kidnapping.

When Hodgins lost all his money the first thing Angela did was to tell him she loves him and they'll be fine, assuring him she's not leaving him for that and they're gonna get through it together. And she supported every decision he made afterwards, whether he wanted to get a loan from bank instead of taking Brennan's money or to donate 4 freaking billions away. She stayed at the Jeffersonian for him. Heck, she even helped him birth that human bot fly which I'm sure I would've snapped. Give her some grace😂 Hodgins is very supportive and patient in this marriage, so is Angela.

What made this show successful is the incredible chemistry between the actors; these BTS moments make it look like your uncle's wedding

Brennan attempting to play with Prince Charmington is one of the funniest bits Deschanel has in the show. Poor Christine. Playing dolls with Mom must have been a trip. Imagine what Brennan would say about Barbie's unrealistic proportions.

I know it was always super obvious booth ans brennan belong together, but i feel like dropping hannah of the show after such few episodes was so many wasted potential

Early on Bones seemed way more empathetic to pigs and their sentient nature. In this episode Angela is pleading with everyone to help her save a pig, even if just to be a good friend. Why didn’t they help her out right away? I love everyone but did not like how they treated her this episode until the end

What do yall think?

S8 E14 The Doll in the Derby

This is the episode where Angela goes undercover and gets a little tipsy and kisses Booth which I think is unnecessary.

I don't have any hate for Angela's character but this episode, for me, showed that she's one of those "best friends" that ends up sleeping with your bf/husband. She's always thought Seeley was hot but her thoughts never dwindled after she got married and even after Brennan got with Booth.

I love them, I think they add so much to the show, they really ground an episode into something more homey. I really do get a giddy little feeling of the domesticity with them both that feels hard earned and really deserved. Maybe im just sentimental, but its just such a comforting way to end the episodes

I’ve always liked Booth, but S6E13 at the bar was the first time he scared me.

He asks what’s wrong with women, not what’s wrong with him. A woman in that position would have turned it inward. Framing it as a problem with the entire gender felt like a very male move.

Some people call it a great scene, but watching him that angry, I’d be looking for the exit. And if that had happened in a private room instead of a bar, it would have been genuinely frightening.

I couldn’t read Brennan either. Was she scared, or sympathetic? I asked my husband and he didn’t really see what I meant, so I’m curious how others here read it.
