Brilliant, but socially inept, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperence Brennan works at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington DC. After consulting for him on a FBI case, she is approached by cocky yet charming ex-Army Ranger turned Special Agent, Seeley Booth to help the Bureau solve crimes by identifying human remains that are too far gone for standard FBI forensic investigations. Brennan's empirical, literal view of the world causes friction with Booths emotive, instinctive attitude creating a volatile relationship. However as their case load increases the symbiotic partnership produces results and with the support of Brennan's Squint Squad, murderers, past and present should be on the look out.

David Boreanaz (Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) stars as F.B.I. Agent Seeley Booth, who teams up with forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) to solve some of the most baffling and bizarre crimes ever. Booth depends on clues from the living, witnesses and suspects, while Brennan gathers evidence from the dead, relying on her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the bones of the victims. Their different investigative styles cause the two to frequently clash, creating an undeniable chemistry and just the right touch of dark humor. Inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs and state-of-the-art criminal investigation procedures, Bones is compelling, cutting-edge television.

(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4137/4879611319_8bea2f6cd6.jpg) 1. Pilot Air Date: 9/13/05 Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan teams up with FBI agent Seeley Booth to investigate the murder of a Senate intern, the political implications of which may prove to be staggering.
Guest Stars: Sam Trammell as Ken Thompson Chris Conner as Oliver Laurier Larry Poindexter as Senator Bethlehem Tyrees Allen as Ted Eller Bonita Friedericy as Sharon Eller
My Thoughts: This is an awesome series with a great cast. The cast in this show has wonderful chemistry together. It was a bit weird seeing Brennan's old boss from the first season again. While I enjoyed it I do prefer her new boss now. It was really good seeing the character of Zach again. I much preferred him over the rotating assistants. An excellent start to an excellent series. I have a feeling I will be getting into this show again.

I agree this is an awesome series, Pete, and I do really like it. But I thought the pilot was awful! It felt like a showpiece demo for executives, written in crayon so they could understand it. There was a noticeable change in the second episode and I just loved the style of it from then on.

My Thoughts: Definitely better then the last episode... but still not quite as good as the pilot episode. But that is not surprising since I usually find that the pilot episode of a series is one of the best of a series. I liked the little side story of the restaurant that the squints take over... leaving Booth upset. The main storyline/mystery was good... interesting... but could have been better.

The one thing I can't wait to happen is to get to the episodes where Bones has the new female boss. For some reason I never cared for her boss in the first season. All the other main characters I love... but him not so much. The female boss was much better. She seemed to fit with the group better.

It's the dumb convenience of everything. Angela meeting Bones at the airport and then the fight... c'mon! Ridiculous. :P It might be a British thing, because I remember Rich saying he couldn't bear it either and I tried to persuade him to give episode 2 a chance. ;)

Well both those things worked perfectly to me. Angela was there to pick up Brennen from the airport. So that is why she met her there. First thing Angela did was check the board to see if Brennen's plane arrived yet. And the board was flickering and not working... so she went to the counter to try to find out from the clerk. And I personally loved that she ripped her shirt open to get his attention when he ignored her! :drooling:
It was also established throughout the first season that Brennen was into the martial arts and didn't like to be touched so when the guy grabbed her arm (without clearly stating he was with Home Security) she put him down. It was completely in character and seemed to work just fine to me.

It wasn't so much what happened, but how. It did make sense Angela was there. Brennan would have been arrested, if not shot!

You are forgetting something. They knew who Brennen was from the start. The Home Security guy was only holding her as a favor to Booth. It was basically a joke Booth was playing on Brennen. So Brennen would have never been in any danger of being arrested or hurt.
As for Angela... she was there to pick her friend up from the airport. That is a very natural and common thing. Not sure what you see wrong there.

My Thoughts: Very good episode. A powerful storyline. But then I always found the storylines about young kids to be more dramatic.

True, I did forget that. But I really don't have a problem with the plot or how Angela was there. You're right, that is normal. It's a while since I watched it, but I had the distinct impression that the writing and acting was just awful compared to the series proper. I'd have had more respect for it if they just introduced themselves on camera!

My Thoughts: Sure the whole save the man on death row has been done many times. But this one I found to be excellent. I liked the story a lot... and liked the way they ended it. Not in the way you would expect going into it. I got a kick out of the judge they had to wake up multiple times through the night. He was good for a couple chuckles.

The story was well done... I really liked the hologram Christmas Tree Angela made... as well as all the gifts they made for each other. The case they worked on was interesting as well.

(http://images.tvrage.com/screencaps/15/2870/396505.jpg) 1. The Titan on the Tracks Air Date: 8/30/06 Brennan and Booth's investigation points to foul play when an apparent suicide causes a train to derail and kills a senator. And, Brennan receives some disturbing news about her mother's killer.
Guest Stars: Christine Estabrook as Lisa Supac Ray Wise as Rick Turco Ann Cusack as Dianne Hochman Timothy Landfield as SEC Investigator Dan Burroughs Sam Witwer as Mitchell Downs
My Thoughts: First thing I notice when I put in the first disc of the second season is that they added the ability to play all... instead of having to go back to the menu after each episode like you had to do with the first season. I am always glad to see that. It is a good start to the new season... but not a favorite episode. This is the first episode to have Camille as Brennan's boss. Who I personally prefer over the boss in season 1... so I am happy about that.

Actually, Pete, do you know that the series is based on a series of books by Kathy Reichs and she really is an anthropologist who works with the FBI? Well, at least in a teaching capacity. ;)
The episodes aren't based on her stories directly, but the idea of Brennan being a novelist is a neat link...

(http://images.tvrage.com/screencaps/15/2870/611348.jpg) 10. The Man in the Mud Air Date: 4/14/08 At Dr. Sweets' behest, Booth and Brennan reluctantly agree to go on a double-date during an investigation involving the death of a professional motorcycle racer.
Guest Stars: John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets M. C. Gainey as Braxton Smalls Wings Hauser as Lenny Fitz Chris William Martin as Garth Jodrey Channon Roe as Danny Fitz
My Thoughts: Another good episode. I enjoyed the case they worked on. We are starting to see much more of the new psychologist... Dr. Sweets... by now. Not much mentioned about Gormogon in the last couple episode. And nothing much happening lately with the Angela and Hodgins storyline. Looking forward to them bring both those storylines back.

Bones: Season 4
(http://images.tvrage.com/screencaps/15/2870/653468.jpg) 1. The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond Air Date: 9/24/08 When a teenager comes across a dismembered body in a pool of purple water, Brennan and Booth are called to the scene. There they find that the victim's head is missing. With help from the newest grad student, Wendell, the team learns the body is that of Jared Addison, a 25-year-old science fiction writer with severe OCD. Sweets lends his expertise to the case as Booth and Brennan interview suspects, which includes Jared's psychologist. Meanwhile, a person from the group's past gives them insight into the case.
Guest Stars: John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets Eric Millegan as Zack Addy Michael Grant Terry as Wendell Bray Debra Christofferson as Kelly Sutton Lisa Kaminir as Tilda Addison Ryan Alvarez as Ralph
My Thoughts: An excellent episode! It was so good to see Zack in an episode again. Every season since I have hoped to see another episode with him in it. I really like where they went with this episode. The ending was one I wasn't expecting which of course is always a good thing. I would even go as far to say I found this episode to be one of the best in the entire series.

Meanwhile, Brennan's latest grad student, who has a very bleak and morbid outlook on life, lends his insight.
Guest Stars: John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets Joel David Moore as Colin Fisher Ewan Chung as Chip Yap Katherine Leonard as Christine Gertin Pete Gardner as Gary Flannery Devin McGinn as Ted Russo
My Thoughts: Another episode I enjoyed... but it isn't as good as the previous episode. The story... while decent really don't hold your attention like most episodes do. More or less just a standard episode with nothing extra to set it apart from the others.

The team has little to go on when only the upper torso is found, complete with breast implants. However, when the lower half is found, everyone realizes their initial assumptions about the victim were incorrect.
Guest Stars: John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets Ryan Cartwright as Vincent Nigel-Murray David Gallagher as Ryan Stephenson Bruce Thomas as JP Gratton Blake Shields as Chuck Kennedy Nancy Youngblut as Cecilia Stephenson
My Thoughts: This episode is better then the last one. I liked the intern they had in this one. I forgot to mention... now that Zach is gone this season (and if I remember correctly throughout though-out the rest of the series to date) they have several interns rotating through instead of just replacing Zach with one character. While I really liked Zach... he was one of my favorite characters... I also like how they handled loosing him at the Jeffersonian. I always got a kick out of how this intern kept throwing out those little known but useless facts. I also liked the bit of a twist this one has. Made for a memorable episode.

Guest Stars: John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets Patricia Belcher as Caroline Julian Carla Gallo as Daisy Wick Vicki Lewis as Helen Bridenbecker Jonathan LaPaglia as Anton Deluca Todd Bosley as Duane
My Thoughts: Another episode I enjoyed quite a bit. The story is good... and I really liked the side story of Angela and Roxy. It was kind of a surprise... but going by the Angela's character you really shouldn't be surprised. If that makes any sense. Maybe it is partial memory of the episode... but I felt I knew early on into the episode who the murderer was.

I know what you mean over all about Angela for season 4... but up to this point at least I thought it was good. I forget how far into the season it kinda went sour on me.
Absolutely! Of course I saw the season finale. I won't spoil it here... but I some how felt that final moment of the episode coming. To me it was a surprise that was not a surprise... I just let out a "Ha! Knew It!" at the time! :laugh:

I've watched them both again ...I had to find the one online. The finale is still on my DVR. When I watched it again, I saw all sorts of little hints and clues.

My Thoughts: This is one of my favorite episodes of the season. I really enjoyed not only how they need to work with such a strict timeline... but also how they had to find ways to make due with ordinary stuff to examine the body. Brennan could give Macgyver a run for his money. And the mystery itself is a good... interesting one. And I must say I got a kick out of the two old lady mystery buffs.

The music really don't come that much into play in the story. I was able to ignore it completely. And it really dug deep into the relationship between Booth, Brennan and Sweets.

Guest Stars: John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets Brendan Fehr as Jared Booth Pej Vahdat as Arastoo Vaziri Jaimie Alexander as Molly Briggs Nick Ballard as Greg Harmalard Rick Peters as Dean Vernon Warner
My Thoughts: Another good episode. It was good to see Booth's brother again. Especially on how it ended for him in the last episode he was on. Having to solve a case in a college meant that we were dealing with stupid kids that like to have fun... so there was naturally some fun elements to this one. At this point Angela is still in the celibate stage. They need to get her and Hodgins back together already. But to be honest... I can't remember if they do that this season or the next one. At this rate... with only two more season four episodes left... it will probably be next season.

Bones: Season 4
(http://images.tvrage.com/screencaps/15/2870/1064798770.jpg) 21. The Critic in the Cabernet Air Date: 05/07/09 While investigating the murder of a famed wine connoisseur, Brennan surprises the team by announcing that she wants to have a baby.
Guest Stars: John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets Joel David Moore as Colin Fisher Jeff Yagher as Sean Mortenson Chad Willett as Charlie Dunwood Latarsha Rose as Jenny Holt Scottie Thompson as Kim Mortenson
My Thoughts: another episode I enjoyed quite a bit. It has a good murder case they are working on... as well as a very good side story. Brennan deciding she wants a baby caused much disbelief from her friends. Booth starts to see Stewie from Family Guy letting us know that a few things he has seen in past episodes was indeed hallucinations... and ends up in the hospital.

Guest Stars: John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets Ryan O'Neal as Max Keenan Eric Millegan as Zack Addy Patricia Belcher as Caroline Julian Sean Blakemore as Grayson Barasa Eugene Byrd as C-Synch
My Thoughts: This episode brings season four to an end. This is really a different type of episode. It all takes place in a fantasy world... a dream that Booth has while in a coma in the hospital. This episode even has Zach in it... which is good to see him again. As well as all the different interns that has been taking his place at the Jeffersonian. So it was pretty cool seeing everyone in the one episode. And for those music lovers out there... this episode even has Mötley Crüe performing. It is a right good episode... and nice change of pace for the season finale.

Harbingers in the Fountain Air Date: 09/17/09 A psychic's revelation leads to the discovery of deceased cult members—and the psychic's sister. Meanwhile Booth has the revelation that his feelings towards Brennan are caused by his brain tumor.
Guest Stars: Cyndi Lauper as Avalon Harmonia Patricia Belcher as Caroline Julian Lenny Schmidt as Dr. Charles Leacock Michael Bryan French as Tom Fargood / Alexander Gallo Amy Dudgeon as FBI Agent
My Thoughts: This is a very good start to the new season. I enjoyed the murder case... and liked the side story of the differences in Booth after his tumor operation and coma. I found it a little odd it didn't mention the ongoing storyline between Angela and Hodgins. But I guess it had enough to deal with concerning the other two storylines. It was also strange that there was no intern helping in the lab in this episode.

Guest Stars: Michael Grant Terry as Wendell Bray Christopher B. Duncan as Arthur Rutledge Michael Arden as Harold Prescott Riki Lindhome as Mandy Summers Emily Foxler as Lena Brodsky Joseph Julian Soria as Pedro Marquez
My Thoughts: Not a bad episode... but I wouldn't rank it as high as most the others. The whole spy thing in the storyline really didn't appeal to me at all. I did however like the storyline where Wendell was loosing his grant and couldn't continue to intern at the Jeffersonian.

Guest Stars: Eugene Byrd as Clark Edison Tiffany Hynes as Michelle Welton Randy Oglesby as Daniel Yoder Jennifer Parsons as Rebecca Yoder Kaitlin Doubleday as Karin Lin Arjay Smith as Tony Salinas
My Thoughts: This one I enjoyed quite a bit. It has an interesting murder case to solve. And I also enjoyed the side story of Michelle... the teen girl Cam adopted... showing interest in having sex for the first time. I must admit I got a kick out of Booth scaring the boy interested in Michelle. I mean what isn't scary about an FBI agent... who used to be a sniper... ready to take care of you if you touch a girl.

Guest Stars: Pej Vahdat as Arastoo Vaziri Leonardo Nam as Nate Grunenfelder Reggie Austin as James Perry Billy Gardell as Bob Sayles Cheryl White as Mary Kay Sayles Paula Newsome as Kelly Bissette
My Thoughts: Another that I enjoyed quite a bit. The murder mystery is a good one. Kept my interest through-out. Though the side story with Arastoo Vaziri was one I really found no interest in what so every. Him faking his accent... I mean... who cares? It adds nothing at all to the show.... making it no more then filler for this episode. After the whole first disc of the fifth season they still haven't even mentioned the Angela / Hodgins storyline. I wish they would finish it up and get those two back together already.

Guest Stars: Carla Gallo as Daisy Wick Diedrich Bader as Andrew Hacker Andy Umberger as Steven Turnbull Mozhan Marno as Azita Jabbari Kasey Mahaffy as Leland Frankel Eli Goodman as Dr. Alexander Wheaton
My Thoughts: This is an excellent episode. I enjoyed every minute of it. It has a very interesting murder case they are trying to solve. And I really liked the side story of Daisy once again becoming one of the Jeffersonian interns after being fired because no one liked to work with her. It was actually kind of funny to see Daisy and Brennan get all excited together over the Egyptian mummy findings. And Brennan knowing the Boris Karloff movie The Mummy so well was also entertaining for some reason. I guess it just seemed so out of character for her... even though it shouldn't have. I mean after all... if she is going to know any movie it would be that one. Definitely one of the best episodes I seen in quite a while.

Guest Stars: Michael Grant Terry as Wendell Bray Sean Bridgers as John Collins Tracy Middendorf as Gaynor Rabin Sufe Bradshaw as Gina McNamara Andrew J. West as Josh Parsons Steven M. Porter as Roy Meyers
My Thoughts: Not a terrible episode... though definitely on the average side. The murder case they worked on was only mildly interesting. They finally got back to the Angela/Hodgins storyline. But it seems only to put yet another wrinkle into it. I swear I don't remember it taking so long for those two to get back together. It's been all of season 4... and a nice chunk of season 5 already. But I am almost positive they get back together at some point within this season.

My Thoughts: This is another episode I enjoyed quite a bit. An interesting murder case... as well as a good side story about Booth and his grandfather. I must say... I got a kick out of Booth's grandfather. I never got to know any of my grandparents. They all were already gone when I was extremely young. And when I see an episode like this... it makes me feel like I really missed out on something.

My Thoughts: Time for a Christmas episode. This one has a special guest star in Emily Deschanel's real life sister Zooey Deschanel who plays Dr. Brennan's cousin who spends most her time quoting Benjamin Franklin. It is a good episode with an interesting case. You can start ever so slightly seeing Angela and Hodgins getting closer to getting back together by this episode. Nothing too obvious yet.

My Thoughts: This is a fun episode... what with all the talk about aliens and the way the body looked like one. I felt for Hodgins finding out about Angela sleeping with another co-worker.... one of his friends. But while it seems to be a setback for their storyline... it does show how much he still feels and moves the storyline ahead. Hopefully it won't be much longer before they get back together... but I have a feeling it will still be several episodes.

My Thoughts: This is a good episode. I enjoyed it quite a bit.... even though they never did make it completely clear if the remains were those of JFK. I also really liked the side story of Angela testing positive for pregnancy.... and Hodgins declaring his love for her. Turned out that it was a false positive... but it also went a long way to getting her and Hodgins back together. I also listened to the commentary track on this episode. The commentary is with Tamara Taylor (Cam), John Francis Daily (Sweets) and Michaela Conlin (Angela). Going into it I was hoping they would touch on it taking so long getting her and Hodgins back together. They never did touch on it... but it was still a fun listen. It was a good combination of information and them just having fun watching the episode together.

My Thoughts: This is the series 100th episode! And what do they do? They bring back Zack for it! One of my favorite characters of the early episodes. I have actually been surprised how much I have seen Zack on here still. I was thinking it was only once or twice after he left. But it has been at least 3 or 4 times here so far. They made the 100th episode an excellent one! I enjoyed every second of it. I got a kick out of Dr. Sweet's reaction to learning about the real first case Booth and Brennan worked together. After the episode I watched a featurette on the making of the 100th episode where I learned that David Boreanaz (Booth) directed the episode. I also found out that David Boreanaz's father (David Boreanaz, Sr.) was there at the time and was given a walk on part in the episode. I thought that was cool.

My Thoughts: Loved every minute of this one. The story involves witches... so being the fan of anything even slightly horror related this one really peaks my interest. So it has a good murder case storyline... and the side story was equally as good. Placing Angela and Hodgins together for a long period of time alone. Making them face what they been to and what they mean to each other. Needless to say they are finally back together.... as I think they should have been the entire time.

My Thoughts: This is the season five finale. A good episode. But one that feels more like a series finale then a season finale. I am guessing they weren't sure at the time if there would be a sixth season... so wanted to play it safe.
