Bones: The Mastodon in the Room (2010)
Avengers Assemble!
Welcome to season 6 Bones Booth!
The reunion episode!
I love how the episode starts by showing clips of where everyone is, it feels like the reunion of a superhero group. Coming together from all corners of the world, just trying to be...normal? As normal as they can be for superheroes. Bones the Forensic Anthropologist already sounds like a superhero name to me.
The way Caroline gets Sweets back, I die EVERY time.
I dont think it is fair for Cam to blame the Jeffersonian falliny apart all on Bones though, she has every right to do something she wants to do with her career. Take a break from all the death. That part always bothered me.
Caroline and Booths relationship is gold. Anytime they are paired together I love it. Or maybe I just love Caroline in all scenes and we get so much of her in this one!
The linchpin concept is great, but its gotta be Bones, right? It's adorable how everyone kinda thinks its them though. I'm curious who you guys would consider the linchpin of The Bones Booth.
I am glad there was a happy ending where the kid was alive this episode. I think Bones needed a happier win on her first case back.
Overall, great episode to start the season.
Bones: The Parts in the Sum of the Whole (2010)
You think Sweets is going to panic and run into a wall?
Congratulations on making it to the 100th episode Bones Booth! And what an episode!
I love that we see the growth in Bones character with all the flashbacks.
It throws me off how flirtatious and forward bones is toward Booth half the episode, but then again when she meets other love interests she's just as forward, so I guess it tracks.
We get a lot of firsts in this episode and I love all of them (to name a few):
- Meeting Cam(she was the catalyst that started the team in my opinion).
- Bringing Angela in.
- The first experiment with a young zacharoni and hodgepodge.
- Angela's first stick figure scenario,
- First time Caroline yells about Bones punching a suspect.
I do NOT count their kiss as a first kiss.
Nope, can't make me. *sticks fingers in ears* But really, at this point she sees Booth as just some guy she's had fun with. Not Booth. The dynamic becomes different after that.
So I don't think it changes the premise of the book at all for Sweets, he just needs to change it around a little. Add a preface.
The Ending: Booth tried, and Booth is patient.
Bones is just afraid, she's come a long way though.
For my own best part/worst part:
Best part: "It's gotta be you, because you're the gambler." Damn Sweets. Well delivered.
Worst part: Brennans floral shirt. Seriously, it's all I can look at in those scenes.
Song addition: Built to Spill - Carry the Zero A lyric from the song: "And you've become what you thought was dumb, a fraction of the sum." To play off the episode title.
