a soupçon of Britishness

[overthetopandhappybso · 8/10 · 13 May 2012]

I'm talking about the wonderful Stephen Fry, to whom we are introduced in this episode.

I so enjoy the interaction between Agent Booth and Dr Wyatt, and the rather clever way the doctor gets Booth to open up (and build his BBQ in the process). The ongoing case of the body in the crocodile is nowhere near as interesting as listening to Stephen Fry playing the archetypal, public school educated toff, (i say that in the nicest possible way), but it is still very good of course. Mind you, if I'm being truthful I could listen to Mr Fry babble on for hours, I adore his intellectual, upper class tones. Anyway, that's enough British trumpet blowing for one review....after all, I am little biased where our floppy haired wordsmith is concerned :) Just watch and enjoy!

Enter Dr. Wyatt

[mitchrmp · 7/10 · 16 July 2016]

This is the first of several episodes where we see Dr. Wyatt using his psychology skills on Booth. Brennan is later involved in the sessions as what they do and how they act are related to each other. Dr. Wyatt is probably one of the first to actually hint that the relationship between Booth and Bones is one of a couple in love.

In this episode, Booth is still pretty frustrated with allowing Epps to die so he takes his frustration out on an ice cream truck. The scene is rather funny, but a bit shocking at the same time. I'm thinking a person would be fired for doing such a thing in the real world.

Brennan's not able to work with Booth in this episode is shown as frustration on her own part, but she adjusts to the situation and gives us a good case to figure out.

See You Later, Whatever

This was a nice episode. Booth is still reeling from the death of Epps. Killing has been a part of his life, from his military background to his work with the FBI. One day he is annoyed by an ice cream truck and shoots out the plastic clown on the roof and doesn't bat an eye. He is sent to shrink and is put on leave. His encounter with the guy proves to be a major factor in Booth's life because he has not faced some realities. The main plot is a young college student on spring break, eaten by a huge alligator. She was part of a group of girls being exploited by a sleazy guy who had achieved quite a bit of fame. Because Booth can't help her, Bones works with a handsome guy named Sullivan who is looking to leave the bureau at some point. The two of them work together quite well, and there is a spark. In another place, Angela makes a careless mistake which has dire consequences.

"That was not good"

Hi Bones Booth!

Succinctly put, Bones, discharging your weapon at an inanimate object on a crowded street is not good. Some recurring character introductions in this episode. Stephen Fry is great as Gordon Gordon, I'm glad he sticks around for a while. Sully is a fun character, equal parts serious and silly with a sprinkling of seductive behavior. I enjoyed seeing Sully bring out the flirty side of Brennan. "Wrong tree, doc, dad and I were tight." Not to give away too much from future episodes, but no, no they were not tight. Bones took a bite of the sausage and peppers hoagie! 😮 And then is eating more in the next scene!! 😮😮 I don't like seeing French Stewart playing a creepy, bad guy, but he does it so, very well. All in all, this is a fantastic episode, one of my favorites.

Hey Bones Booth Pod!!!!

Very enjoyable episode. Yes Bones that was not good for Booth to shoot his firearm on a street with pedestrians. Rip Eugene sucks you had to lose your life because of a human who is evil and using religion to justify victimizing and murdering young women. Yyaayy the introduction of Gordon Gordon i love this character. Monty may not have been a murderer but he is a slimy creep just like the real life guy who created girls gone wild. I really enjoyed Sully he was interesting and fun.
