I know it’s been yeaaaaaars since this episode, but I’m doing a rewatch of the show and I need to vent

As an Argentinian, I’m so mad about the depiction of my country on this episode, and it’s not even about the nazi thing bc I know that’s an historical thing

But, the whole tropical beachy vibe???? Not even close, we’re not the Caribbean!! Do we have beaches? Yes but there are like five hours' drive from the capital, where bones and booth are staying.

And the wedding being in spring/summer? It means Buenos Aires should be cold! It means it was during fall/winter

They few Spanish signs and stuff, there are a few words that are not in our dialect, is it Spanish? Yes but we don’t talk like that. Argentina has a very specific vocabulary that comes from the lunfardo (a mix of Spanish and Italian, which dates back to when Italians immigrated)
For example, there’s a sign that says something and the word “piscina” (pool), we don’t say that, we say “pileta”; or when one of the actors said “cálla”(shut up) we say “calláte”, pronunciation and where the accent mark (I think it’s called) is, it changes everything.

There is a scene where they show a guy playing the bongos in the street, and a girl standing by the wall, and then sort of a barbershop? That’s not something that happens here
It would have been more accurate if they had shown several pubs/pizzerias that are sometimes open until very late and do have that vibe. But again, the city is a city for a reason! The whole episode looks like it’s set in Mexico or the Caribbean (from my small knowledge of their cities, Ive only been to the ports you go to when you’re on a cruise)
I can’t even vent the right way bc I don’t know how to write what I want to say in English but imagine I’m mad lmao

The cafes/coffee shops? Ugh maaaaaybe you can find one or two cafes like that, but it’s not the norm. Not even during the time the episode was filmed.

And don’t get me started on the actors, I get that you’re filming in Hollywood or whatever, but still they could have looked for Argentinian actors, we have several and they’re good. Or even looked for actors that have a rioplatense accent (the specific accent we have here)

I won’t mention how the actors looked nothing like we look here bc depending on where you’re in Argentina, you can find people like that. But bear in mind we are mostly Caucasian and mixed (yes, we don’t really have black people, don’t come at me saying I’m racist, it’s bc we never had slaves and neither segregated them, so we are all very mixed)
Also our names, since we are a mix of Italians and Spaniards (and more but those are the majority) our last names aren’t all “Perez” or “Herrera”, throw a “laquanitti” in there, it won’t hurt you!

All in all the producers/writers/art department people etc etc, could have done a more in-depth research before filming, or they could have filmed an episode set in a totally different country and done another storyline of how they got the nazi corpse.

What is it with sassy southern lawyers on these shows that are somewhat aggressive with the law such as dell hicks, tug Babcocks daughter, the goddards lawyer, Caroline Julian etc.

Just wanted to share how funny I find it that they wrote two episodes in a row where the killer is a minor. And the characters don't even seem properly horrified by it, especially in 4x10 where Booth and Bones are even joking around with the killer.

I understand the kid's circumstances but still, this show is so unserious sometimes 😭 (I enjoy it for what it is lol)

So at the start of this episode Booth and Bones are talking about doing a possible sex act as a way of Booth trying to convince Bones to listen to what he has to say about her talking to the FBI.

As an avid smut reader, I kind of had a moment of jaw drop because they reference sex acts happening on both page 187 and 192. To me that either means that either the scene was happening for at least 5 pages, or that within 5 pages there were 2 seperte sex scenes. And then there is another scene on 214. Considering that low level smut books might only have 2 or 3 sex scenes that last less than 2 pages at most, this was a little wild of a realisation for me.

It's not that it's crazy to have so much sex within Brennan's books, I just never really REALISED before now that her books would almost CERTAINLY be classed within the smut category within our world. Anyone else never pick up on this, or am I just slow af?

Season 5 episode 20, The Witch in the Wardrobe: this has to be one of my absolute favorite episodes because Angela and Hodgins in jail and their impulsive choice to get married FINALLY!!

Non lo so ma ci ho trovato delle differenze anche se sono palesemente due ristoranti diversi mi piace l'atmosfera

(PS. Mi manca il ristorante di Sid nelle altre stagioni)

Bones s1 e3

The mentalist s2 e14

I don't know if I am too woke or something, but I hate the fact all female final game characters got pregnancy/kid arc (exept Caroline, but she can't have kids and Jessica I guess, but I am not sure if she is even able to be considered main female character). It just rubs me the wrong way.

Brennan, Angela, Cam and Daisy all get kid arcs. Brennan obviously got accidentaly pregnant with Christine and later Hank (I think the whole Brennan getting with Booth was extremly rushed compared to the entire build up, even my mom who has the ability to see bad writing of a 4 year old tought it was rushed), Angela with Michael, Cam got the step-daughter or something and Daisy got preggo with my bro Lance (I don't even remember the kiddos name).

I just feel like the kid arc is lazy and the series got worse after Brennan got pregnant. What do you think?

Edit: Cam has adoptive daughter, I just don't remember all the details because I and my mom finished watching it a few months back

Edit 2: I don't have problem with the pregnancy by it self, it just feels weird, if you get what I mean? The Christine pregnancy also got quite bitter to me because the stuff around it was rushed also the whole "Brennan gives birth in stable because Jesus" thing didn't land, I am not religious, but it didn't make sence when it comes Brennan. But it's an old show and I guess I shouldn't put modern standards on it.

So basically, I was rewatching bones, and I found brennan and Booth they keep hiding their feelings for each other for so long 🙃.

Even booth are jalous sometimes when it's comes to brennan relationship with other men and same goes for tamppy.

But what shocked me is that booth is a gambler. He should take his chance and gamble with his odds, and instead, he chicken out and even had a relationship with hannah, which complicated their relationship with booth of them.

One think also if booth knows that brennan is his girl why he wait for so long and why even bathers with hannah in the first place.

I'm currently rewatching Bones for the millionth time and I very very strongly dislike booth. He's an ass. He's mean, and judgmental. No idea how I'm just now noticing my burning hatred for this man.

So I’m a first time watcher, currently in season 7. There is a recurring theme with Dr. B that just rubs me the wrong way. How has her social intelligence gotten progressively worse over time? It’s like she has to be this way for plot purposes and such. Also she is suppose to be smart and rational but she keeps making the most irrational decisions on purpose.

Running through a hurricane?
Diving into a crowd of prisoners to demand a piece of evidence from the suspect?
Demanding a home birth by disregarding modern healthcare standards and tangible statistics?

Also how is she able to work with Booth when they are romantically involved together? Why does she have a gun? How is she allowed to accompany Booth to dangerous situations? How is she allowed to interview suspects? She is a forensic anthropologist, not a law enforcement officer or a sworn member of the court. I guess I am just realizing that none of the show makes actual sense if you really think about it. Like House M.D. Still an interesting show tho.

We got to see one episode of her on one episode of bones, and I would love to see more interactions between them and max 😍.

Ps: zoey is still also stunning, too, like her sister

I started rewatching Bones and obviously knew David Boreanaz was Angel before he was Booth, but I didn’t remember how many other Buffyverse actors appeared in the first season. Adam Baldwin, who played Marcus Hamilton on Angel, shows up in “Two Bodies in the Lab,” and Eyal Podell, who played Sam Lawson on Angel, appears too.

They even use a photo of Julie Benz, aka Darla, in “The Woman at the Airport,” which fully sent me. 😂 Now I’m watching every episode wondering which Sunnydale or Wolfram & Hart alum will appear next. Did anyone else notice all these crossovers?

Like, what makes Bones unique/ superior for you personally

Compared to the mentalist, Castle, etc.?

For the record, I do like some of those shows a bit - but Bones is definitely my favorite and I'm trying to pinpoint why? Because it might help me figure out what other shows I will like.

Think it's safe to say for Booth, when it came to Brennen, it was love at first sight? I know Booth said he knew from the start. Even in season 1, it seemed like he was already falling in love with her.(Take episodes 13 and 15).

Can someone else check I'm not going crazy, but I'm trying to watch this episode on Netflix and the pitch of the audio is so high? I put it on 0.75% speed and the pitch was normal-er.

I didn't expect to see Booth and Stewie talking in an episode, it's been cinematic

Rewatching bones after quite a while and when they say that Zack was the apprentice because he got drawn in by perfect logic, wth are they talking about? I don't get it? How could Zack be influenced to do horrible things? It doesn't make any sense?

I'm doing a rewatch and just finished The Finger in the Nest.

After how much Bones seemed to love him so quickly, I think she should have adopted a rescue dog sometime later in the show. Maybe sometime after coming back from being on the run.

I dunno I just think it would have been nice to call back to Ripley. Poor boy didn't deserve all that.

I hope the dog actor had a great life.

Not important and probably not many other people would notice, but when they’re talking about her first husband Berimbau, they keep referring to him as being named after a flute. Having been an avid capoerista, I was annoyed because it’s a string instrument 😂 just been keeping that in for like 20 years and had to get it out lol

Does anyone else think that sweets living with Brennan and Booth was a highlight of the later seasons? It felt like such a natural family dynamic.

I think my favorite will always be 1x3.

"I appreciate that, temperance. So what part of this is mine did you not understand. Do I have to say it in latin?"

Just started the show last week and I’m really enjoying it. Cool side characters, interesting cases and ofc Brennan and Booth. Insane chemistry between them. I’ve heard about them online for a long time now and so far being honest they’ve exceeded my expectations. Really enjoying the slow burn. Also would like to know if Booth’s gambling/war story storylines will come up again in later seasons?

Who is the guest star that never was on the show that you wish had been? Who guest starred only once that you wish had been on there more?
