Looks like another good episode... Very intriguing from the previews...

**Lost in Translation** · 09-26-2005, 06:35 PM

I'm very intrigued as well. Looks to be a goody

Loved this episode, and we have to wait till November 1 till the next one?! Crap..now thats my idea of torture

Ahhh..I

Zach, and Angela is just the coolest.

What did Bones and Boothe talk about at the end? I missed it because they were doing some emergency alert practic crap, I'm sooo mad! Boothe looked really happy to. So upset I missed it

Tonight's episode really put into perspective why I pesonally like this show:

It showcased the opposing points of view of imperical facts (Bones) and going beyond the facts to trust your gut instinct (Boothe).

This has been hinted at in the last two episodes, but they finally presented it in a straightforward way that didn't blatantaly interfere with the story and came out of the case they were working on. This is what I like about this show: It is both entertaining and thought-provoking and gives you two perspectives that may at first seem diametrically opposed, but work rather well together to compliment each other (obviously, the characters of Boothe and Bones entire purpose on the show).

As for the actual case... I thought it was pretty inventive, if not a little far fetched to some degree, but it was executed well and again, presented the two points of view very well with how it unfolded.

Also, we now have a name for that holographic program Angela created: The Angelanator

Too bad we have to wait until Nov. 1st for the next episode, but that hopefully means Bones -- If it survives Nov. Sweeps -- Will go on a little longer toward the end of next year while other shows are showing reruns in preparation for their season finales.

I think it has a good chance of being picked up for a full season. Its doing really well in ratings its getting ratings like the oc gets. in the 5's. I think bones and prison break will get full seasons

And i think it'll do really well in nov sweeps

From the previews they left they look like they're some great episodes coming up.

Wow. I liked the ep a lot. Some sad parts. I knew the girl was in on it as soon as I saw the dvd, but that sucks. Nestor seemed so sweet.
So loving the cast even more. And Zach just gets more and more adorable.

And the protectiveness that Bones showed in her "look" was uber cute.

On the scenes for next ep, am I totally nuts or did I see a Prison Break crossover?? I seriously think I saw them trying to prove Lincoln's innocence, but I might be crazy.

So bummed out about not having eps for a few weeks.

I'm another one that is bummed about losing the show until the 1st of November! Personally, I'd rather have Bones and The OC than baseball. Oh well! Can't do anything about it though. Schedule has been set already. I'll just have to anxiously wait the shows return.

- I really love her team. They are so quirky and great. My favorite is Angela though. She just says the most fun things, but she is also quite intelligent and it shows in the character. All these characters are really smart. My brother watched for the first time tonight. Talked him into joining me, and he said the actors even have to be smart to pull off how smart their characters sound, and I agree.

- What happened to trying to hook Bones and Booth up? Last week they hit that point so hard, and this week it wasn't even addressed? I thought they hit it too soon last week, but to completely ignore it this week just seemed weird.

- I think the show is really well written. They balance the case with the people themselves. So we get the drama and we get to see the characters interact. Great mix.

I love this show. I can't wait for it to come back in November! I have a full recap and some more thoughts about tonight's episode up on my review site if anyone is interested!

**Astra** · 09-28-2005, 03:20 AM

I really liked this episode... probably more than the last one...

Seeley/Bones have the same Mulder/Scully dynamic when it comes to cases... One goes with the feel of things and the other must have the tangible science..

I love it...

Am gonna rewatch it today with the closed captioning on... I know.. I 'm a dork, but I would miss some of the little comments that are made because of some scene's pacing....

Erika J. · 09-28-2005, 03:50 AM

Okay, never eat while you watch the beginning of Bones. That head was....yuck. Otherwise I really liked this episode.

Also, you know I'm sixteen and the same age as that girl. If David Boreanaz had been beside me and pressed play on a dvd and I saw myself ****in! AHHHHHH!!! I'd be like CUT IT OFF!!! CUT IT OFFF!!!!!!
Oh no no. In front of a hottie and in front of my parents. Boy no!

**Lost in Translation** · 09-28-2005, 08:07 AM

I missed why Nestor was killed, all I caught was that he was a man because he tried to do the right thing.

I swear I should boot my mom out of the living room between 8 and 11 pm on Tuesdays.

DigificWriter · 09-28-2005, 09:18 AM

Last night's ep was great, as usual, although a bit graphic early on with the half-eaten corpse hanging from the tree. I'm really digging the dynamic that exists between Brennan and Booth, although I do think she shouldn't have been shouting "Don't call me Bones" in this ep when she didn't object to being called Bones in last week's ep. But I digress. One thing that I wasn't entirely clear on, though, was exactly why the Headmaster of the school, the other school employee, and the Sheriff were being prosecuted or punished. Anybody know?
