I finally got to see this one.

Good ep.

I love how Angela calls Brennan and Brennan calls Booth for help. It shows how their friendship has grown.

Booth's comfortable enough to go into Brennan's office when she's not there.

When she asks him to come she says please mirroring how he asked for her help in The Man on Death Row.

He was so happy that she called him.

Aw, the Booth/Angela hug was sweet. It seemed to me that Angela hugged him more than the other way around. It was a sweet, friendly comforting gesture much like the Brennan/Angela hug earlier.

So the sheriff was one of the Gorch brothers from BtVS. I thought he looked like one of them. The counterfeit guy was Lee De Marco, the Vegas destiny thief in "The House Always Wins."

Booth is so immature, throwing his bag on the bed to get Brennan's attention.

He put her coffee on the nightstand for her.

He insisted on staying in the room while Brannan changed. He said it was too hot out. I think it got hot in the room! I'll bet he peeked.

Booth and Brennan were in the back seat of the sheriff's truck together.

I really felt for the sheriff. I'm glad they were able to find his sister.

I loved how he called Angela, Angie. It seemed like he liked her a little.

So now we know why Dr. Goodman wouldn't talk to Zack in the pilot ep. He's not being snobby, he wants Zack to stop putting his life on hold because of his crush on Brennan.

I like that Jack and Dr. Goodman both like Zack.

In hindsight I can see some Jack interest in Angela.

I can also see why Angela was a little hurt that Brennan didn't call her in The Man in the Morgue.

To be fair he did have his hands full witht thte coffee and hs bag. I think he was offering his support for himself not just because Brennan called him. Booth was there because Brennan called but since he was there he was going to give Angela his support and what comfort he could (in a non sexual manner).

I like the fact that alot of the guest stars are former Angel, Buffy, or JAG guests as well.

You are a JAG fan too? ;D Whom did you recognise in 'The skull in the desert'?

And i agree with you about the hug; I think Booth was offering his support; in a way they are friends too

Yes I am a JAG fan. Noone from JAG (that I know of ) was in Skll in the Desert I was speaking generally. Sorry for any confusion.

I think there is evidence enough in other episodes particularly Woman in Limbo that Booth and Angela are friends besides their link with Brennan.

your creation · 06-05-2011, 08:53 AM

They did, and he went, with nearly no touble!

~Lisa~ · 06-05-2011, 09:01 AM

your creation · 06-05-2011, 10:38 AM

He would have.

I must say I loved when he laughed about Brennan using her charm
