Watching Bones

Okay, I think I’m finally ready (and have the time) to spend talking about the season premiere. Although don’t count on a whole recap, that would take WAY too long and how could I possibly cover everything? Instead, I’m just going to go over my favorite highlights, and you’ll have to forgive me if I miss anything critical or something that was one of your favorites! So, here goes…

First of all, I have to say that I don’t think I was disappointed in ANYTHING about this season premiere. Sure, I wasn’t crazy about what happened between Angela and Hodgins, but I’m getting ahead of myself. The way the episode started, with Booth falling asleep (very noticeably I might add) during Bone’s lecture was priceless. And the look on his face when Dr. Wexler and Bones exchanged smiles, that was too “Booth.” And was great.

When the duo was invited to join Wexler and his partner to look at a recent murder scene, Wexler, while intending to introduce Bones to Detective Pritchard, was cut short as she jumped in and spoke directly to Booth, having recognized him from his talk the night before. I loved the lines:

Pritchard: I very much enjoyed your presentation last night. He’s very active, sound effects, visual aids, all sorts of props. Although he complained at great length about having to check his gun with us.
Booth: Well, you know, without a gun I’m practically naked, isn’t that right Bones?

Back at the Jeffersonian, sorting the evidence Bones has shipped home, we see that Clark is back as a temporary squint. It was good to have him back, if even for just a short while. His sarcasm and focus on his work is a good fit with the team, although he’s not too keen on getting involved in the personal aspect of the rest of them!

Oh, and Hodgins line “Check it out! British slime. So much more proper than American slime” just cracked me up. Such a Hodgins thing to say!

And of course, as promised, we didn’t have to wait long to meet Grayson Barasa, aka “Birimbau.” What a great choice for Angela’s husband! Although, I’m a little confused. How can you greet someone by jumping into their arms, appearing to wrap your legs around them, give them the kind of sensual kiss that ends in a sigh like Angela did and still say so straightforward, “I want my divorce”? (By the way, that was some kind of greeting for someone you aren’t attracted to any more - but maybe that was part of the problem…)

Seems like going “green” is the latest thing - but it’s definitely a fad that is worth while and I wouldn’t mind seeing it stick around! Fox network is doing their part with clips that offer practical and, more importantly, easy suggestions for ways to help do your part. With help from some of their show’s stars, they’ve got a series of clips that are short and to the point. So do your part - check out some of the videos and see if any of them fit your lifestyle. Who knows, you may be able to incorporate one of two of the ideas into your lifestyle and make a little bit of difference yourself!
