Warning: Spoilers
I'd say that overall this episode held my attention really well. I think the case and the two B plots were interesting enough that I was curious going into every scene.

I'd say that the way we stumbled upon this body was probably on the more ridiculous side. It happened because two teenage boys were looking at satellite images trying to see girls. So essentially, using Google Maps. My problem is that the body they find was dead for 6 days, in the water for 3.5 and on shore for 2.5. But Google Maps, as a reference, updates their images like every 5 years or so. My question is what are the chances that these images were taken so that we could find a body? Now maybe I'm just off in my comparison and I know it's fictional and it fits in with the whole tech theme for the episode but it's just a little ridiculous. The reason these boys were going to the satellite images makes it bizarre as well.

I also found it humorous that there were a couple comments made at the beginning of the episode about how they weren't sure how they were gonna identify the body. Like you have identified people with a small piece of skull, I think you'll find a way when you have the whole body and skeleton minus the arms.

Our intern of the week was Jessica Warren. So far, she's tolerable and we learned more about her this episode which made her feel a bit more tolerable to me but I'm still not 100% vibing with her character. I did find it super sweet that Angela and Hodgins took her home after the case. I feel like we usually see that "mom and dad" role filled by Bones and Booth (think about them taking in Sweets and supporting Wendall) so it was really nice to see Hodgins and Angela step into the role.

Best part: seeing how much Booth and Bones care about Christine and how much they are trying to make sure she doesn't have a childhood like they had

Worst part: Jessica Warren suggesting that thr Angelatron wouldn't have been as accurate, how dare you.

SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY
eileenmrandolph7 January 2024
Once again the writers referenced the subclavian artery being damaged in a part of the body that is NOWHERE near where the those arteries are actually found in our bodies.

Have been a huge fan of this show since its inception. Never realized this error until my own subclavian arteries became an issue for me. 😄 They are a set of 2 arteries that are located just beneath the clavicle. Somehow the Bones writers have relocated them to arms, legs and other parts of the body. More 😄.

Still watch/binge every week as offered on the syndicated channels. Was unable to access an entry into the "GOOFS" category; so, entered as a comment.

A World of Our Own
Hitchcoc4 March 2023
It is absurd how the body is discovered, but it is an entertaining new twist for the series. Once we get the body into the lab, it is stated that they would have trouble with identification. Anyone who watches this show knows that at times a single fingernail seems to do the trick. This corpse, sans arm, is pretty much intact, especially the skull. That said, we head into the wild world of video game production. All the stereotypes are there. The Geek who lives in a room and doesn't come out for months at a time. The combative overseer who fears the intrusion of possible spies. The jealousy over one person outdistancing another--stealing ideas. The new intern is sort of like a bee when her hive is breaking up and she has no friends and no place to go.
