Season officially begins tonight, 8PM EST... let's see where it goes this year.
Daisy is back? I agree with you, Ugh!. My favorites are the Michael Grant Terry character and the guy playing Arastoo. But also like the banter between "Thurston" and "Opie".Matt Hough said:My least favorite intern - Daisy Wick - starts the season. Ugh!
It was a difficult show to watch with the rift between Booth and Brennan. Got a nice payoff by the end, but their angst was distracting enough to keep me from paying full attention to the case.
I have read there will be a new big bad by the second half of the season so thankfully Pelant will be toast by sweeps. He's hung around much too long for the good of the show.
Oh you have expressed exactly how I feel about those super villains, I'm very tired of them. Yes, Pelant and the Zach thing I hated. I liked the Zach character very much. I wonder if the actor pissed off the producers?Walter Kittel said:It did seem anticlimactic, but I hope, and believe, that it is thankfully over. The Pelant storyline was probably my second least favorite storyline on Bones only surpassed by what they did to Zach's character. I don't mind a recurring villain in a season long story arc, but (as others have pointed out elsewhere on the HTF) I am getting tired of these omniscient super villains. Dude, if you have those kind of abilities make some money and kick back and enjoy life.

Wow, my thoughts are almost completely in line with Johnny's that I could just repost his. Although I don't mind the idea of the super villain. I thought Gormogon was awesome until they turned Zach into his patsy - I really wish they'd revisit his storyline and get him out of the mental institution. And the Grave Digger was good until revealed it was a she (sorry; she simply didn't have the strength to lug people like Hodgins or Booth around). But Pelant was horrible - not scary and too powerful - just not believable. And I'm a couple of episodes behind too!Johnny Angell said:Oh you have expressed exactly how I feel about those super villains, I'm very tired of them. Yes, Pelant and the Zach thing I hated.

I also hate how over the top the gore has become. It tends to be cartoony, but I really hate it. Bones didn't start out this way. Temperence used to complain when the bones were inconveniently covered with flesh. Now it's juicy, juicy, juicy.
I've become so apathetic about Bones that I don't mind reading these spoilers (I'm a couple episodes behind). The only reason I'm still watching it is because my wife likes it.
Neither was dragged out the length of three seasons. That's why they were both so effective.Walter Kittel said:Re: Bones villains. For recurring bad guys I liked the episodes with Howard Epps (going way back) and Jacob "Hand of God" Broadsky. Off the top of my head, two of the more effective antagonists on the series.

If I remember correctly, the Gormogon ending was quite anti-climatictic. We never saw him till just before he got it. I believe I thought the actor playing G had no screen presence. Just came across as a bit player.Matt Hough said:Talk about anticlimactic! Three seasons of enduring the Pelant monstrosities against mankind, and it was all because he was in love with Tempi?
And that final confrontation. Lame beyond belief! A single bullet, and it's over? Truly, I am not convinced it is actually the end of him. I'm wondering if he hasn't left other booby traps behind.
But they also played that off as Pelant lying to set up the location.Johnny Angell said:Haven't they already introduced the next villain? There was Pelant pointing out multiple murders all done by one woman. That's the next super villain.
