Bones S06E05 The Bones that Weren't
I found the fact that the case was handed to the "Bone Lady", when there were in fact no bones, very interesting. Surprisingly, Angela always comes up with the solution to their mysterious problems - and like always, it was awesome to watch, very futuristic.
I had heard and seen about this type of technology before, where a 3d model is created digitally and lasers cut out the image from plastic. There are even home-versions of this, but they get pretty pricey, not including the plastic material used each time.
The best part of this episode was seeing Twitch, from So You Think You Can Dance. He had a huge role in the episode, even though his dancing was definitely NOT what I was used to from his style, it seemed a lot more fluid and rubbery.
Sadly, Hannah's injuries from getting shot weren't serious (the writers wouldn't kill off the other girl so fast...especially since they've gotten so much mileage out of using her). Brennan saved her, like I knew she would - she's above such irrational feelings such as jealousy. However, I dislike Hannah's pushy personality, why would she demand a get well gift, when Brennan already gave her the gift of life?

The Dude Knows Science
Bones S06E04 The Body and the Bounty
This episode was AMAAAZING...as Bunsen Jude the Science Dude would say ^.~ It was very clever to give him a name that's related to something sciency (bunsen burners). In any case, he was a kid's science show host (think Bill Nye the Science Guy integrated with Mythbusters) who wanted to have Brennan guest star on an episode of his tv show. Initially she refused, but she changed her mind after adding a condition - that he help her as a 'squintern'.
The case this time was to capture the murderer of a body that only had the head and hands, although later the rest was found. They needed to discover the cause of death, and although the science dude did a fantastic job, it seemed a bit unrealistic that 1. what needed to be discovered was so simplistic and 2. the science dude knew how to identify what he saw. However, it was nice to see Hodgins revert back to his kiddie days of experimenting, like he used to do with Zack, only this time with the science dude.
The murder weapon made sense in context, however, I was completely mystified as to the reason why it would be used instead of normal weaponry to catch people. Normally it wouldn't do any damage at all. Besides that tiny little detail, the episode was very entertaining, even if the the science dude's AMAZZZINGS actually started to drive me up the wall. Also, Brennan's ending scene was simply hilarious and very fun.

Baby Blabbermouth
Bones S06E03 The Maggots in the Meathead
Bones started off on a hilarious note with jumping maggots, but working on the set must have been completely disgusting. When Hodgins classified the maggots as cheese-skippers, all I could imagine was the maggot-infested cheese that people eat that was shown as one of the top ten disgusting foods.
This episode definitely overused Brennan's attempt to fit in and sound like the people in Jersey Shore (both in 'reality' and on the 'documentary.' Her side-comments to Booth were especially memorable since it normally works the other way around.
The writers probably decided to bring back all the squinterns: this week brought back Fisher. ::sigh:: The amount of squinterns was a little overwhelming. The funny recurring theme with Fisher was his 'depression' that led to sleeping 20 hours a day O.o Kind of ridiculous.
I kind of feel sorry for poor Hodgins, at the rate Angela accidentally let out the secret of the baby, he won't be able to surprise anyone at the big announcement. >.<
I can't believe that Brennan helped Hannah pick out such a personal gift as a housewarming gift for Booth. It will lead to the assumption that Hannah knows him very well, and will convince him that he's doing the right thing. ARG.

The Other Woman
Bones S06E02 The Couple in the Cave
I pretty much expected that they would bring in Booth's new interest, otherwise there would be no room for Bones' soul-searching. Unfortunately, I think her character is very much portrayed as jealous. Yes, you get Bones' jealousy as well, but it's a little more subtle only through her constant mentions of Hannah. In Hannah's case I'm getting the side-looks, and the constant hinting that they're together.
I'm surprised to see that the character of Dr. Clark Eddison is back. He got passed over for a promotion, but came back to the Jeffersonian? That's not the way to ingratiate yourself to get a promotion later. In any case, I love that he's back because his constant frustration with the personal issues being aired in the work environment is hilarious. Yet, when it comes down to it, he also has an opinion on Booth and Bones' relationship, since he couldn't take the tension and blurted out his opinion.
Obviously the theme of this episode was love, because the male victim could have saved himself but chose to stay with the woman he loved and die together. While it was a very romantic notion, and thus a nice topic for Booth and Bones to air their differing views, it seemed a little far-fetched that the male wouldn't even have attempted going for help.
Overall a solid episode, even though I pretty much knew who the killer was going to be from the middle of the episode. Bones writers...do a better job and don't make it so obvious!

Squints back in Action
Bones S06E01 The Mastodon in the Room
Bones is back. At the end of the last season, it seemed as though they had given a kiss-off to the show. All the characters had left for other things - Brennan and Daisy to Maluku, Booth to Afghanistan, Angela and Hodgins to Paris.
Cam is about to lose her job, so Caroline calls everyone up via satellite phone (why does Booth carry it on him?!?) and mobilizes everyone to come back to D.C. to save Cam. In the 'seven months' they've been gone, the Jeffersonian has shut down the forensics program, downsizing them to work in a basement level laboratory. All the 'squinterns' are gone, moving off to other things fitting their personalities - like Vincent Nigel-Murray winning a million dollars in Jeopardy. I wish that he had stayed instead of Wendall >.<
Daisy and Sweets' relationship is in trouble because she chose her career over their love together and he's not willing to take that chance again. I really dislike Booth's advice to Sweets to just 'move on' like he did, and I'm hoping that this break from their relationship gives him more time to mature. He's definitely changed from the previous seasons, and it's refreshing to see a grown-up version, rather than the childlike demeanor he's had.I'm surprised they gave Brennan bangs, it doesn't seem to fit her no-nonsense personality, but it does make her prettier.
Booth is in another relationship with a hot, blonde woman, a war correspondent he arrested in Afghanistan. I'm annoyed that Booth is the one who claimed to love Brennan and was willing to try a relationship, and yet he's the one managing to just pick up and move on to the next relationship, always referring to them as serious.
Angela is pregnant! I'm super surprised, and happy that the writers chose this route to keep them in D.C. and not Paris. She would make a fantastic mom (even if she does like talking about sex...a lot). The scene where Hodgins finds out he's about to be a father is the cutest scene ever and very believable.
I like that they used the Mastodon at the end as a parallel to Brennan and Booth's elephant in the room. I really hope the writers don't destroy the relationship we love, because Booth is definitely giving Brennan the cold shoulder.
The crime portion wasn't too focused upon this episode, but I think it was smart of the writers because the relationships between the characters really needed to be highlighted and lots of plotholes to cover. However, I really think that this episode needed to be a 2-hour premiere. I really hope Bones keeps doing well, it's one of my favorite shows.
