Watching Bones

There may have been many, many complaints from us Bones fans about the way the season ended. There was much we felt was left our or unexplained to our satisfaction, however we can’t completely disown the final episode. It most definitely had it’s redeeming moments that were classic of the Bones we know and love.

Sure, the Booth-is-dead thing could have made an entire episode in itself, but hey, they were pressed for time. Sure, we could have done with a few more episodes to build up and/or help explain how in the world Zach converted to a cold-blooded killer, and what the heck happened to him while he was in Iraq, but hey, they were pressed for time. It really sucks that so much great storyline got tossed due to the strike that seems to still be biting us in the butt even after it’s over. But, like I said, our show is still around, and although it’s back on hiatus until the fall, we were left with some gratifying scenes. Don’t believe me? Maybe you don’t remember this one…

Did anyone else notice he was reading a Green Lantern comic book? The character he voiced in the new Jusitce League movie?

Or how about this one? Repressed feelings anyone? I don’t think anyone except maybe Bones and Booth don’t know these two are meant to be together (and that would mostly be because of denial and repression!)

These are just two of some of the great moments from the season finale. I guess the best part is that we have next season to look forward to.

We got to see Emily Deschanel sing recently on The Wannabe in the Weeds episode of Bones where our dynamic duo starred alongside of two American Idol former stars. Too bad we didn’t get a chance to see David Boreanaz up on stage showing his vocal talents! However, if you’re a fan of Angel, that’s something you got the chance to experience in several episodes when Boreanaz’s character Angel sang karaoke for an empath demon so he could get information about an innocent.

So it’s not the same as seeing Agent Booth sing (that’s for sure) but it’s still a sight to see. Although you can immediately tell there are huge differences in the two roles in question, I just thought I’d share the video for those of you unfamiliar with David’s past karaoke experience. And for those of us who’ve already enjoyed it, well, here it is again for your listening (and comedic) pleasure!

How interesting… I hadn’t made any connection before about Steven Spielberg’s stepdaughter and Bones until a friend of mine pointed it out. Mostly because of the “step” part and the fact that her last name doesn’t ring any bells by itself.

Jessica Capshaw has had a recurring role in Bones as Rebecca Stinson. If you don’t recongize the name, I’m sure you do know the person. She plays Booth’s son’s (Parker) mother. Also interestingly enough, she’s played opposite David Boreanaz before.
