Re: Bones, season 4
this ep reminds me of the one on the plane. an enclosed space, need quick answers, etc. it's like a murder mystery on a train or somn.
how many eps left for this season?
to the edge of eternity and depth of infinity, stupidity knows no bound.

Re: Bones, season 4
Great episode last night.
I really hope they don't go with Bones getting pregnant/having a child. It is so completely out of character and It would ruin the show for me. She would not make a good mother in my opinion. It would be selfish for her to have a child only to leave it with a nanny every single day.
It looks like next week is:
Warning Spoiler! Click to showProbably in Booth's head/dream/delusion. That would make the whole idea of Booth and Bones having sex not ruin the shows chemistry.
This is just a guess on my part.

Re: Bones, season 4
imho it's kind of a cheat. it's very obvious that bones and booth love each other and have been dancing around this issue for FOUR DAMN SEASONS! it's about time to give it up. it might ruin the series... but hey it's like the X-Files. even they did it.

I agree, it's getting tired, the whole we're-partners-so-we'll-deny-our-love thing. I'm watching another series right now called
Castle and it looks to be doing the same thing so far.
Last night I was just saying that as long as Bones is willing to have Booth's baby why not go all the way and begin a relationship with him?

Sometimes Bones being an emotional midget is tough to watch.

Re: Bones, season 4
When this show first started, I watched a couple and hated it. For some reason, I decided to try it out again this season, I don't think I even started at the beginning of this season.
I'm finding now that I like this show a lot. I find Bones total social cluelessness kinda endearing and Booth does too.
Having missed much of this show, I'm not burned out on the will they or won't they issue. I think it was a mistake for for Fox and Scully to get to gether because I always saw them as partners and friends. On Bones, I think they will get together, but it's too soon. It would change the nature of the show.
I know this is a forensic show, but I wish the blood and gore wasn't so in your face. Yeah, I know that's the way it is these days. I find myself squinting my eyes during much of the show.
I know the show doesn't make a big deal of it, but isn't she supposed to be a novelist who has written best-selling stories about a fictional forensic anthropologist named Kathy Reichs? (yeah, I know that's little joke). How would a person who is so socially deficient be able create characters that people would pay money to read about? I don't see that as something her character could pull off.
Actually this reminds me of one reason I initially disliked the show. I had just read a Reichs novel and this series was touted as being based on the Temperance character. It's really not and I couldn't get past that. The novels are a world apart from this show.

A lot of very successful classical mystery writers were not very good at characterization, mood or description, and some of them were even fairly bad when it came to plot elements not related directly to the central mystery. This is doubtless also true of certain contemporary crime writers. In all genre fiction there is a certain subset of fans who only come for one element (the technology and "sense of wonder" of SF, the chills and thrills of horror, the puzzle of a mystery story) and really don't care about other literary qualities. And these people are enough to keep writers who are weak in other areas in print.
So I don't find it wholly implausible that Temperance could write police procedurals with a forensic focus that manage to entertain lots of readers even though her characters are stilted and wooden (or exaggerated and implausible.) There are plenty of big names on the best seller list who suffer from similar problems. (There is one perennially best-selling mystery writer who has had a number of novels turned into major studio releases who I find totally unreadable. I've started at least four or five of his books when pressed to by friends and have never made it past the second chapter of any of them. Now I don't even bother trying when someone - inevitably- recommends his latest. Different strokes and all that.)

Thank you.
I wish everyone were as willing to recognize the obvious and just bow to my superior wisdom when I make a point. You have no idea how annoying it is when people persist in disagreeing with me after I've clearly written the last word on a given topic.
