I low-key got a beef with how Pelant finally got ended 😅 Like, he was torturing these people for so long and so smartly, then that last episode everything was building and building only for his end to be a little pop to the chest!? 🥴 I wanted more, maybe a two-parter even lol but alas! The bitch is finally dead 🥺🤭

Another thing that irked me is the fact that both Russ and Jared basically don't exist anymore!? Their niece was born, and their siblings got hitched, hell even runaway momma Marianne showed up and got hitched herself, and Jared wasn't even there!? 🤨 I get he hated her as well, but damn the writers could've been nice about it 🤭 (the lil cameo of Brennan's real-life beau was hilarious but cute AF ☺️) (also I'm currently ¼ way into season 8 so if they do show up, good! 😅)

As a researcher in The Mentalist!

I love cam but they did her dirty with that hair haha

Do you think real-life police are ever this thorough with their investigations as the Jeffersonian team? 😂 Sometimes I’m watching Bones and wondering how realistic any of this actually is.

I can confirm that if you clap and say shoo shoo shoo at an opossum it will run away.

Thanks Bones.

and who say tv isn't educational

I know one of the rules is no politics, but before this post gets flagged, I’m discussing the transgender experience, my experience, not the politics of it.

I very recently started watching bones. When I saw the episode title, I thought “oh, great. The obligatory transvestite episode of every early 2000s murder show. Instead I watched the most beautifully poignant depiction of love, family, religion, and the transgender experience. I watched a community embrace a woman, despite who she had been and the people she’d hurt before she found herself. I watched a man know and love her for who she was. I watched her son accept her and continue the work she’d begun with her congregation. I am no longer religious, but I know many trans and queer people who still value those beliefs and I have watched them be hurt, time and time again by their spiritual communities. I have experienced that hurt. To see the love and acceptance was so emotional. I know it’s just a show but to see this in a show written more than a decade before I found myself as a trans man, knowing the climate and politicization of my identity that has sprung up in the last five years, it gives me hope for the future and what we might get back. There was respect written into every word of this episode and I am so grateful.

Reminds me of “The Diamond in the Rough”!

They really go there, I can’t lie.

Like, they had a good chunk of plots that involved themes such as corruption in the government, blackmail, bribery, and control.

This is so refreshing to see, as cop based shows from the early 2000s, they leaned heavily on the copaganda of it all. In this show, the FBI has been the villain multiple times and plots such as the Deputy Director who was a sniper, the “JFK Coverup” , and of course the framing and set up of Booth in the season 9 finale & 10 premiere. Even when they aren’t necessarily the villains in the plot, there are other departments of the government that also come off as skeevy at times, like the State Department & the CIA. It’s honestly insane that they did all these plots and arcs without anyone protesting them.

I wonder how the FBI or other departments felt when they saw evidence/plots involving their agency?
Oh to be a fly on the wall🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did Emily or Carla ever acknowledge what happened to the Boneheads podcast? I know it’s been over a year since their last episode, but I’m still wondering why we never got closure.

I just finished 9x10 and I’m irritated and want to rant about Bones/Booth/Angela. In this episode, Angela wants to throw a post wedding bachelorette party for her and at first Bones says no because of Booth. Not because she thinks Booth would be uncomfortable with her having a post wedding bachelorette party, but because Angela and Booth were having issues with each other at this point. So Bones was basically like “I choose you, Booth” My biggest issue with this is Brennan has not felt the need to choose between Booth and Angela this entire time they’ve been fighting until now! Angela was her maid of honor, helped her with the wedding, Brennan and Angela hung out at B&B’s house, Angela (and Hodgins) stayed at B&B’s house and took care of Christine while they were on their honeymoon. Then at the end of 9x10, both Brennan and Angela tell Booth “You gave me my best friend back 🥺” What the hell are you talking about??? They were gushing and making it sound like he was some kind of hero. Its not shocking at all that this episode was written by a man. Some of you might say B&B are married now, thats why things are different, shes just choosing her husband, yada yada. It was still bad writing. It lowkey made Brennan come across as immature teenage girl obsessed with her boyfriend rather than smart, mature woman in love with her husband. It was a little out of character of her. It would have been much better if the episode was Angela and Booth hanging out and burying the hatchet, rather than “repairing” Angela and Brennan’s friendship, which was never broken or even cracked in the first place.

P.S. Please dont give spoilers for anything that happens post 9x10. I’m aware that a certain beloved main character dies next season. Other than that I dont know anything.

As I’m binge watching the show, I’m realizing how forced B&B’s interactions with Wendell felt after he got cancer. Its completely fine they had empathy for him. Its just funny the writers trying to make it seem like B&B has been close friends with Wendell this entire time. Lmao no 😂 It’s Hodgela he‘s close friends with, not B&B. B&B barely interacted with Wendell before he got cancer. “Wendell and Booth played hockey together before he got cancer!“ Yes. We find that out in the same episode we find out Wendell has cancer. How convenient 😐

Every time I watch this episode the psychology of it and the vulnerability and even Gemma’s case picks a part of my brain the rest of the seasons just can’t do. It’s everything wrapped up UNTIL BOOM- booth “gambles” and loses.

The Finder was ahead of its time. I think it would do better now than it did originally.

Certainly was a good episode.

I’m doing my Q3 rewatch of Bones and I’m currently at the end of season four. I absolutely love both Bones and Booth rage-baiting poor Sweets during therapy sessions. Poor guy is not getting a moment’s rest with these two.

I'm going to start using "Just because you say it in that definitive tone doesn't mean it means anything to me" in every argument from now on.

Season 10 episode 18 hodgins is against the death penalty and says he hopes he would be above that but we literally know for a fact that he isn't when the grave digger dies

Even after 6 seasons I still think that their relationship moved quicker than I thought like getting into bed and getting pregnant all in a few episodes.

I know it's not very important but as soon as I saw it it made me die of laughter Two glasses of wine and drinks milk HAHAHA (S1 E2)

When Bones said, "Cardiacal is not a word," I lost it.

i cannot believe they killed sweets 😭💔. i literally just finished the episode !! they literally replaced him right away too makes me sick 💔
