BONES: the first season

BONES
SEASON 1, EPISODES: ALL
review by: ian
episode ratings: TV-14


I can't really watch much of this show all in a day. It's one of those series in which you can only watch like 1-2 episodes at a time to fully appreciate it. Mostly because you could already predict the ending by the time you're half way through the episode (because most of the episodes are about murders, and the murderer usually is the person we only see for like 1 scene until they appear at the end).


I didn't have any favorite episodes, because if there would be an episode of Bones that you would watch, you'd either think it would be average-predictable, good, or just bad-creepy-unrealistic. Sometimes good-creepy.


Bad/Creepy/Unrealistic Episodes: Pilot, The Man in the Bear, A Boy in a Bush, Two Bodies in a Lab
Favorite Episodes: The Man in the Wall, The Woman at the Airport, The Man on the Fairway, The Woman in the Tunnel, The Skull in the Desert, The Soldier on the Grave


I know for a fact that Jonathan Adams' character Dr. Goodman never returns after the season finale because he's on sabbatical. Bitch, hes on sabbatical for 4 frickin years? It's time to bring his character back already.


I don't like how some episodes didn't really bring conclusion to some small storylines in the episode.


Overall I liked the season but usually each episode's format was the same, so it was frustrating at times to watch.


Favorite Character: Angela Montenegro (Michaela Conlin)
Least Favorite Character: Dr. Hodgins


I kind of like Dr. Brennan (Emily Deschanel) when she's being too literal (eg. "Males often bond when they exaggerate sexual activities" or something like that).


OVERALL GRADE: B
