love Bones, but you have to admit, certain episodes are special TV events and others feel a bit like filler. After the previous week's "The Daredevil in the Mold," Thursday night's installment never quite hooked me as things went back to normal at the Jeffersonian.

That being said, a slightly-above episode of Bones still brings its share of excitement and humor, and emotional outpourings like last week can't be too frequent and seem organic.

Brennan summed it up best when she called V-day a "ridiculous holiday," because "the banks don't even close." However, she found a nice way of spending it with Booth in the end.

How did we get there? With another incredibly good/bad body find, for starters.

Executive producer Stephen Nathan earns kudos for the melted corpse in the tanning bed, with the eye MELTING OUT OF THE SKULL after you thought the worst was over.

Steve, if you haven't seen Peter Jackson's Dead Alive, go rent it. You'll appreciate it. Although I have to imagine it might be the inspiration for Bones' incomparable opening acts.

The victim was a wedding planner and the suspects were as grating as they come - her high-strung executive assistant, a Bridezilla and the father of the Bridezilla. Painful.

This was the point, naturally, in the most anti-Valentine's Day Valentine's Day episode ever. Even if I could have done without the holiday theme, I did enjoy the show's take on it.

While the planner's assistant seemed like the most obvious target, it was actually an estranged husband that did her in because of the assistant, who stood to inherit her assets.

And who she was also sleeping with. Didn't see that coming.

While it seemed odd at times that Booth's meltdown was barely mentioned, I can see the need to move on and not dwell on it as well - for Booth and for his colleagues.

It was well handled for the most part, and I'm curious to see if over time, B and B do come together for good. Somehow I find myself far from convinced it'll happen.

The relationship with Hannah may be over, but it left an indelible mark on Seeley. I can't help but feel he's through with romance for a long, long while. Anyone agree?

Thanks for listing so much highlights effie

I loved Wendys assistant he was so sweet And I thought he was gay and so did Brennan.

Jasper1975

Yeah he did seem it. So of course Brennan would assume it.

A funny Valentine's Day episode. Such a perfect present there Brennan. So appropriate. She wanted to be with him.

Jasper1975

Loved the case. Quite the family, and the bride.

And the aftermath of the previous aftermath. Booth being down on Valentine's Day... And Brennan's surprise, and the tribute to the Valentine's Day Massacre.

I loved Brennan bringing the Tommy guns to the shooting range to cheer Booth up.

Jasper1975

I loved also how she was declining dates all episode long. She wanted to spend time with Booth. Loved how she cheered him up...

msstock87

I loved seeing her decline dates too. She knew who she wanted to be with.

Jasper1975

She was so funny doing it too...

msstock87

She was wondering why all the dates thought she would be free at the last minute.

Jasper1975

Maybe they became free, and so they thought they thought she would be okay with a last minute invitation. It was a funny to see her increasingly turning down, all to be able to spend time with Booth. Loved the ending with the guns...

It was a a fun premise, but why Cam thought the case had to be solved with her still in the building when it is never usually solved when she's in the building. And just a episode or two before, she left for a date with Paul when the case was still unsolved.

Another example of the eight month hiatus mucking up the timeline. They were treating like Cam and Paul were a new relationship when they met before Booth and Brennan left for the eight months.

A fun episode.

msstock87

It was a pretty fun episode. I loved the end with Booth and Brennan shooting Tommy guns. She really was trying to be there for him.

BlackWhiteRose
