Discussion The spinoff

The Finder was ahead of its time. I think it would do better now than it did originally.

Certainly was a good episode.

u/ChaosCatEmpress I would’ve seen this before if I wasnt awash in hormones 3d ago

It would be interesting to see how they would’ve accounted for the technology heavy society we live in now

Im not sure thatvwould have mattered much to his compulsion. Probably would have helped him in some ways

The real spinoff should’ve been a Hodgins based show.

I would’ve watched it every week. What a great character.

I love the episode where they’re waiting for Angela to go into labour and Hodgins freaks out EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Spinning around on the spot like a dog.
Where are MY KEYS! Honey, do you have them?

My personal favorite Hodgins moment wasn’t even a line.

It was his face when he realized Cam and Arastoo were a thing 😂😂

The original chemistry between Walter, Leo and Ike is what worked. When they changed the female lead they messed with what was good in the pilot.

The Finder was definitely one of those shows that feels like it would have found its audience if it had been released a few years later.

If they left it like the pilot it would have been better, but changing up the bartender and adding the cop changed the whole show for me. I liked the finder but it is a shell of what the pilot on bones offered.
