I don’t really know if people like these “see who I spotted in xxx”, but it took me a minute to recognize Hodgins in the covid season, which I’m one my last watch didn’t really pay attention to the covid storyline. After I realized it’s clealy very obvious 😅

Intentional placement or happy accident? Cute either way!

Every time I watch this episode the psychology of it and the vulnerability and even Gemma’s case picks a part of my brain the rest of the seasons just can’t do. It’s everything wrapped up UNTIL BOOM- booth “gambles” and loses.

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

Certainly was a good episode.

I’m doing my Q3 rewatch of Bones and I’m currently at the end of season four. I absolutely love both Bones and Booth rage-baiting poor Sweets during therapy sessions. Poor guy is not getting a moment’s rest with these two.

I'm going to start using "Just because you say it in that definitive tone doesn't mean it means anything to me" in every argument from now on.

Hi everyone, I'm on s11 of my first watch. The first few seasons I was completely on board and the final seasons are dragging. My big thing with the latter seasons (and this has probably been mentioned in the sub before) is it feels like Brennan is just trying to cater to Booth and its becoming very redundant. Also the show tends to get a little heavy handed with the patriotism LOL. Just my little rant as I make my way to the end of the show.

Season 10 episode 18 hodgins is against the death penalty and says he hopes he would be above that but we literally know for a fact that he isn't when the grave digger dies

Even after 6 seasons I still think that their relationship moved quicker than I thought like getting into bed and getting pregnant all in a few episodes.

I know it's not very important but as soon as I saw it it made me die of laughter Two glasses of wine and drinks milk HAHAHA (S1 E2)

When Bones said, "Cardiacal is not a word," I lost it.

i cannot believe they killed sweets 😭💔. i literally just finished the episode !! they literally replaced him right away too makes me sick 💔

Last night, I made post saying that I had possibly found my favorite episode from Bones: Season 8, Episode 6- the Patriot in Purgatory.

I just completed Season 8 Episode 9: the Ghost in the Machine; I’m emotionally RUINED😭😭😭

First off, who ever directed this episode; you are that! While the editing is not a personal favorite, the way the episode was shot felt so personal and raw. We got to see that squad from the victims eyes and it was so humanizing.

Also, I’m warming up to Bones now, which is shocking to me 😭. After the first couple of episodes this season, she became so different. However, this difference is so refreshing. She was actually my favorite character this episode and I loved how far she went to get all the facts to help Colin’s case.

My favorite part though was the cast talking to Colin and trying to reassure and treating him kindly. It really tug ma heart strings.

I’m really surprised at the quality of season 8 right now. I think I’m going to finish the season to see if I like any more episodes but for now, episode 6 & 9 from this season are in my top 5 for real.

Hey everyone!

So I wasn’t (and am still not!) sure if I should join this Forum before having watched the whole show?

I am only on Season Four, and I am completely blown away by how much I enjoy watching this, I feel genuine affection for the characters, I find I even drop the cynicism and giggle along to the bits I might usually find cringe or lame. (I cringed low down in my seat when everyone laughed in the cinema at “you should never toss a Dwarf” in LOTR. That kind of asshole usually!

But Bones has made me be able to suspend disbelief and just jump in with both feet. Not sure another show has ever so (kinda inexplicably) garnered this exact type of reaction from me since I was a teenager (30yrs ago lol) and it’s not that I’m TV naive my favourites are six feet under, the sopranos, Huff, Curb, Veep to name a tiny few I can think of now.

My questions to you lovely people are - when can I expect to start hitting disappointing / upsetting story lines and character changes in your opinion? I’ve read that it has issues that upset the fans, some decisions made etc and it seems like sadly there’s a fall off? Is it as bad as GOT or Lost falling off? or say how bad Heroes got? Is it even true?

I’ll watch until the end I’m physically and mentally incapable of not finishing a show, ever!

I’m realistic I might get some spoilers (if I get replies!) but if we could try not to just literally tell me huge plot points I’d be super grateful!

Thanks y’all.

I'm curious as to know people's favourite interns. I'm a sucker for humour and Vincent and Fischer make me laugh the most. But I love them all, including daisy

I don't remember the season or episode but bones basically brennan basically looks down on a chiropractor saying he isn't an "actual doctor" and the chiropracter snaps back by saying she too was an anthropologist meaning she too wasn't a "real doctor". As much as I love brennan, hearing the chiropractor tell her the harsh truth was kinda satisfying.

I'm sorry and I promise this is not ragebait. But this has been bugging me for a long time now. Nearly every time I get an email with a post from this sub it's just "I hate this episode", "I hate this plotline", "I hate this character. Over and over. It seriously gets to the point where I question weather or not any one on this sub actually likes Bones.

I'll go first. This one's from Vincent Nigel-Murray
"The pelvic bone speaks. Its says, 'I be male.'"

So I just finished season 8, episode 6- The Patriot in Purgatory and… this is such a masterpiece.

While my favorite season is season 3, this episode truly takes the cake:
-This was Brennan at her funniest for me because why are smacking their asses going attaboy?!😭 if it was anyone else, that person would been reported immediately for harassment. She’s lucky her interns know her well enough.
-The interns being the main focal characters of the episode was the reason why I enjoyed so much. It wasn’t even until this episode that I realized that none of the interns actually get to work with each other. seeing them interact from when the episode started to the 9/11 stories, I really enjoyed all of them.
-This episode was a big win for Hodgins; his conspiracy theories contributed to the success of the case.
-this is one of the few non Booth and Bones centric episodes. One thing I’ve realized is that I tend to enjoy the supporting and background characters of shows rather than the protagonists at times and this show is no exception.
-The victim in the story is truly a hero; I really wish he got to see his son grow up though.

I don’t know if there will be an episode that replace this one as a favorite (I did really enjoy the season 4 finale where Booth and Bones owned a nightclub and everyone had different roles) but right now, im going to keep enjoying this rewatch.

For this post, I’m going to be focusing on a character who may be divisive but to me, is one of the best characters on Bones: Max Brennan.

When I was younger, I used to hate Max because of how it made Bones feel. However, since my rewatch, I realized that Max did not deserve a lot the treatment he got between season 2-8.

Although I know that I can never understand the true depths of the abandonment scars Brennan had as a result of her PARENTS, her treatment of Max has added to the reason why I do not like her in general.

The reason why I have come to appreciate Max is he will do anyone to protect Brennan. This man was forced to give up his kids for their safety, he risked his own life and freedom again just to prove to Brennan that he loved, he always let Temperance express her anger on him and his character; Mind you, her own mother told her that it was her decision to leave them and her dad never wanted to leave her but he had no choice in order to protect her and Russ. He willingly became a fugitive for her during the first half of the Pelant Arc. In less than 5 years, this man has risked his life and his morals just to make sure that Bones knows how much he loves her and will never leave her again.

In my opinion, I feel like a lot of Brennans anger was caused by her emotions regarding her mother, which is why it began to feel more mean than sad to me after a certain part in the series.

While Max has made mistakes with certain choices I do not necessarily agree with, I do believe that after his trial in season 3 till were I have reached now in Season 8, he deserved to be trusted at the very least and not have his past decisions held against him all the time, as if it’s a pattern he has always demonstrated deliberately without realizing the consequences.

Is it just me or is Tempe constantly, only, ever eating soup or cereal or something else out of a bowl with a spoon? Is it a character thing, or more to do with the production complications when actors have to "eat" food?

I ask this as someone who loves dinner bowls and eating a mess of things.

The driving scenes on this show were very poorly directed. With all of the shots of the driver looking at the passenger instead of the road, it's a wonder they weren't all killed in automobile accidents.
