Parker

I wish Parker was more present since he is a part of Booth's and Bones's family :(

I also wish we got to see Booth and Bones's relationship develop throughout the early parts of the pregancy. I catch myself getting surprised and caught off guard when they kiss or do something romantic because we're not used to their romantic relationship yet. I feel like it was rushed.

This episode was fun.

I need to fill up the space, so here are some thoughts:

Angela's father is funny as always.

I like the storyline of Hodgins and Angela being super tired because of their son.

They should trust her father more too.

A Fun One

Hi Bones Booth Pod!

I enjoy this episode. It finds a great balance between a reasonably interesting case, and the sometimes silly, interpersonal drama that you expect from an episode of "Bones". The tornado scenes are also visually appealing.

I appreciate seeing both Fisher as the squintern, and the return of ZZ Top as Angela's father. Getting to see Angela and Hodgins navigate the challenges of new parenthood is a welcome addition to the plot. Even when their storylines center around things like coping with separation anxiety, or trying to figure out how to deal with a baby that won't sleep, I appreciate seeing glimpses into their home/family life. Seeing ZZ Top in an episode is always fun, especially when he does kind of unhinged stuff, like giving his grandchild a temporary tattoo that says "gramps" and has a picture of himself on it.

I disagree with the reviewer who found this episode to be uninteresting. I often find that my favorite episodes are ones that are more "run of the mill". Not every episode needs to have an explosion or a serial killer, or something major going on, in order for it to still be enjoyable.

I also strongly disagree with the reviewer who finds Booth and Brennan's relationship this season to be jarring and rushed. They got together after six years of waiting. They are navigating not only what it means to finally be a couple, but also have the added complication of navigating an unexpected pregnancy. Just because there are moments of tension, doesn't mean that there aren't also very romantic moments throughout the season. I find it more romantic to finally get to see them settle into their relationship, instead of holding back some of how they really feel, like they did in the earlier seasons. I don't think the show rushed into showing their affectionate moments either. After 6 seasons with only a few on screen kisses, I was more than ready to see them start to do that all of the time.

A Spell of Bad Weather

The focus of this episode is the death of a big time storm chaser. His body is found in a place where a tornado came through. We get to know the competitiveness of the other storm chasers. The whole resolution was quite weak. The other things were equally uninteresting. Hodgins and Angela are doing everything to keep her ZZ Top father from taking care of the new baby. Booth once again goes over the top in trying to protect Brennan. There is a silly scene at the site of the death. But mostly, it's not very interesting. We don't even get much of an education in high tech storm chasing and the actions of tornados.
