subject: Season 5 of Bones is excellent [print this page] "I'm a fan of Bones and this season is excellent.Most TV shows start to go downhill by the fourth season either through too many character replacements or repetitiveness of the episodes. Not Bones, out of the entire series I can count the number of episodes I don't like on one hand. This is a great alternative to many of the main stream talked about crime TV series out there. This packs in realism, comedy, action, adventure, mystery, and psuedo-science all into one show with a cast that couldn't be more beautiful or enjoyable to watch week after week.
If you haven't seen any of these just buy season 1,2, & 3 you certainly won't be disappointed and it'll give you something to do while you wait for the DVD release of season 4. Also of note is that if you haven't seen season 1,2 or 3 you may be a little lost watching season 4 alone."
This episode might have been derailed, pardon the pun, if it focused too heavily on Sweets's trauma and evaluation of his life. Sometimes on Bones, the main victims' deaths are peculiar, but their lives aren't fully developed. I was glad to see many angles of human interest in this episode, from the victim's life to the other lives he affected.While Brennan worked on the case, a Japanese journalist interviewed her about her fiction-writing career. This tied in nicely with Aragon's background as a writer. The two sides of Brennansocially inept rationalist and bestselling authorhave never quite jibed for me. And this episode revealed that Angelaknown for her warmth and humanityacts as a sounding board for Brennan's books, making suggestions here and there to humanize her characters. That made perfect sense and was a nice tribute to their years-long friendship.
