This is a great idea, to have a thread to talk about the first season of Bones.

Sis lent me her S1 DVDs while I was down with my hurt ankle in August, I think, and I was able to watch all of this first season

I loved the pilot.

I was a little skeptic about trying this show out because I wasn't that big of a fan of Angel, but the pilot was amazing. It had me hook line and skinker.

I totally agree. Never liked BD before Bones so I was really sceptical but there was nothing else on the TV so I watched one epi.
Actually it did not really attract me. The first season was at first sigh not attractive in my opinion... which is completely different today.

I love this season. I loved the pilot and how Bren was able to defend herself.

I had never seen Angel so I had no preconceived ideas of Booth or anything.... in fact, it wasn't until just recently that the same actor was on both shows

***Wildfire Girl*** · 03-06-2008, 05:34 PM

Well I KNEW they were, but never watched Angel or Buffy to think of Booth that way.

As a hardcore Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fan since 1997, let's just say I was very heistant to get into Bones. I didn't think I would be able to see David as anyone but Angel or get used to his chemistry with another lead female. So, I resisted. Yes, me.

But needless to say, I caved and watched around halfway into season 1 [hello, who can reist the man?!] and I fell in love with the show and Booth/Brennan's relationship in what seemed like two seconds flat and never looked back. It was the most unexpected thing, but I'm so glad I did, because I would have missed out on a show/fandom that makes me so incredibly happy. And David, I admire him about hundred times more than I did before Bones. I've been a fan since day one, the man was very green when he started[I think like a lot of young actors can be],...yes, but he proved himself and than some, and blew me out of the water time after time, while he was on BTVS/ATS. But when Bone came on, I was skeptical that he would be able to put himself into another role and like 100%, and not have people think he was Angel. Well, he did, he pulled it off, where I'm able see two different David's. The one from my past [buffyverse] and the one from my present..Bones. He's a truly remarkable, gifted actor. How many people in their lifetime can say they had two successful shows?

And discovering Emily Deschanel has been a truly wonderful amazing thing for me. The more episodes I watched, the more I realized how talented she was... and that no one would be able to potray or bring to life ....this character of Temperance like she did/does. David/Emily's chemistry is like this magical force and without it, the show would never have been a sucess. I found Booth and Brennan's characters so utterely fascinating seperately and together. I love characters with angsty pasts, I'm such a sucker for it. And I loved seeing their journey unfold as reluctant partners to close friends during the course of season one. That was really something I've never seen before in that way..I loved seeing a relationship with so many layers and such a deep foundation being built. It just really really sucked me in.

B/B aside, 'the team' interaction in season 1, also made the show stand out to me. I love a show with a good group dynamnic [like buffy

] and I just saw something speical there. All the characters just clicked. Angela, Hodgins, Zach, and even Goodman, were all well written, well rounded characters that I enjoyed watching. I saw that the writing was very witty and made me smile alot and basically...the show had such a good mix of drama, humor, and 'romance'. It was 'Two Bodies in a Lab' that made me fall for the show, and that episode had all those elements and than some...it just won me over. Then season one finale just went above and beyond my expecations and cemetend the show even further for me. It was so much than some 'procederal crime show'..... it didn't fit into any one category in my eyes. It had a good mix of everything on TV and has so much heart.

Okay, sorry for my novel length answer.

Shauna I

your thoughts.. This will really be a nice thread to discuss how we all got into the show

For me personally I really don't know what attract me to Bones.. it's just like I'm fated to like this show. No one told me about Bones, I've never watched Angel, and obviously I didn't know about Emily Deschanel... so it's just one day I surf through the web and there's a link to beyond bickering.. I just click on it and there's a pic that makes me want to watch the show. So without any other knowledge, I just went down to buy Bones season 1 DVD and start watching. I love it but not crazy about it when I start watching it but I think the heaven conversation actually makes me a fan of the show and by the Two Bodies in the Lab I've become B/B shipper and there's no turning back. I'm so glad that "something" unexpected actually push me to buy the DVD and let me know about how amazing the show is.
