A Bones take on 12 Angry Men

[briezey · 8/10 · 24 July 2022]

This is a really good episode of Bones. I think it is fun that Brennan had to be on a jury this week. It made for an interesting twist on the usual structure of these episodes. It was fun watching Bones convince everyone that the prosecution did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt (it reminded me of the movie 12 Angry Men). I also like that the murder of the week ended up relating back to the case.

The downside was having to listen to Daisy talk about how she is an authority figure because she was the lead anthropologist while Brennan was away. All I know is that I would not trust Daisy to run the Jeffersonian without Brennan there to catch her mistakes.

I also like that we made progress on Cam's identity theft. It's such a random storyline, but I am invested in seeing how it ends.

I also liked the evidence that caught the killer in the end. I feel like it was pretty realistic, especially compared to some of the magical evidence they have had in the past.

Overall, I thought this was a really good episode.

Best Part: Bones describing all those facts about the old lady on the jury

Worst Part: Listening to Daisy offer her couch to Cam because they are kind of equals, like chill Daisy, you are nowhere near equals to Cam.

I rather like this one. Brennan on a Jury would be hell on earth. She's lucky to have stayed in the jury box. She knows how the legal system works and what courtroom decorum is like, so to start talking during a summation is not something an informed, intelligent person would do. But there is a great investigation of the soccer player accused of murder when a prime witness dies. He is on the table at the Jeffersonian so two forces miss each other. In an interesting case a significant discovery is made involving Cam's identity theft. One question: If all the credit cards and bank accounts are frozen, how can this person keep on purchasing things?

Arrogance gets you nowhere

This episode of bones just displays the extreme lack of personal growth that encompasses Temperance. Her being an arrogant know-it-all even to the judge shows how little she actually knows. It's not being smart if she's still acting like an intelligent donkey behind at her overgrown age. It was extremely clear that the case that Booth was working on was connected to the trial and if she's so logical and rational than the only logical conclusion would be that he was investigating a dead witness for the trial and process of elimination would have taken care of the rest. But that hyper rational logic that she knows does not apply to every situation as she has been shown numerous times still gets the best of her and prevents her from seeing the big picture that is riddled with facts and evidence and it doesn't help that she is working on the case after she is the reason the murderer is free. Terrible episode so save yourself the frustration and skip it.
