Bones 4.03 Review
Okay, Bones episode three that I’m probably going to get done less than an hour before episode four premieres. Honestly, I was so tired last week that I woke up around 7:30, tried to actually be awake, then said screw it and went back to bed by like 7:40. I’m still tired this week, but I figure I’ll go to bed at like 9 or 10 unless the fountain of youth Mountain Dew revives me.
I know from personal experience that talking on the phone while driving is not a good thing. Even having the phone on ring doesn’t help because if it rings unexpectedly, you can swerve and hit things. Lots of things. And lose a side mirror.
Do truck drivers always pull up to random outhouses? I mean, aren’t there rest stops and stuff that they can go to? Usually with a Starbucks and a nice Cinnabon. And at least when it blew up (that’s why you don’t go into random outhouses!) he landed in the sand. The better to stop, drop, and roll.
Brennan’s robe is totally cute. And as much as I’m a Booth/Bones fan, good for her for getting some. The guy’s kinda cute, I guess, but I’m sure she needs something that doesn’t run on batteries occasionally. And the last guy that hit on her wound up dead, that’s gotta be kind of a blow to her ego. It’s also kinda cute though that they’re close enough that he can show up at her house at the crack of dawn, but she has more patience than me. I’d throw the coffee at him and tell him to leave if it was 6:30 in the morning.
Haha, I love that “occasionally spend time together” is Brennan’s way of saying “booty call.” I’ll love it even more if she was the one who initiated said booty call. I think that there’s so much shit for people in random hook ups, but Brennan’s a very smart person, so you know she’s not going to clubs to pick guys up. She routinely goes with people that she know she can trust to not have diseases or what not and I’m sure has very safe sex because she understands that people have primal, physical needs and there are millions of people around that can (not necessarily should, but can) satisfy them and there’s no issue with that as long as it doesn’t interfere with any higher priorities. Essentially, healthy sex life? You’re doing it right.
Booth, wearing a seatbelt is kind of the law. You should know better. At the same time, I kind of love that Booth’s all stuffy about sex when it comes to her when I’m sure he’s probably slept with girls that he’s picked up in clubs and stuff. It fits with his Catholic upbringing and also the hypocrisy that must people seem to exhibit when it comes to a taboo such as sex. Do what I say and not as I do and all that. Maybe you do need some sort of feelings for sex, but going at it with Cam and the mother of your child? Means that Brennan is doing it better than you because you’re getting what is essentially your physical needs intermingled and confused with emotional needs and that’s probably why a lot of his relationships go south.
To round up this little sex discussion that I honestly think could be pulled out of any Gossip Girl episode, I think the fact that they can openly talk about sex and even tease each other about it shows a great growth in their relationship. Even Brennan, who isn’t all that tactful about discussing human needs such as those doesn’t go into her personal sex acts with everyone. Close friends can do that and it’s not TMI.
The aversion to feces? I’m with you there, Booth.
How much do I love that David and Emily’s names are equal in the credits? Is this new for this season? I honestly can’t remember. I know that there has been some wank in the past that David gets credited first when Brennan should technically be the star, being the eponymous character and all, but it made sense to put him first in season one because of the draw of David Boreanaz fans from Buffy and Angel. But now that on even footing, I am extra happy.
Sweets is kind of awesome. I’m really glad he’s sticking around for a while at least. I don’t know why he’s there though. What possible use is there for a psychiatrist while examining a body? I know that he’s talking to them, but surely he could just go over it with Booth or something away from the dead body.
I thought when the new girl and Hodgins were looking over the stuff that it was Angela for a second. I was expecting awkwardness, they’re ponytails look exactly alike. And then she talked and I was like, “Oh. Not her. Sense making.” Sift through the sewage? I’m sorry, but you’re an intern, so they definitely don’t pay you enough for that.
Angela looks cute but that seems rather inappropriate for a work environment, even though she’s supposed to be their artist. Do artists not have to dress professionally? Also, she can pull stuff up on the internet extremely fast. I wonder if it does things by her mind? Because you know in the real world she’d be Googling and it’d be loading and buffering and they’d have to sit there for five minutes listening to the girl talk about how she found the wig.
When Brennan talks about the Bible like that it sounds like something out of Stargate. But I like how Booth does stick by his faith no matter what she says and doesn’t let her get in the way about it with her doubting and logic. That’s why it’s called faith.
Footage pulling guy? I like you, but I have the sense that even if the show wasn’t over because the host got killed, you’d be out of a job. Good job being cool though. And this Arthur guy rubs me the wrong way. He is trying way too hard. It’s pretty obvious that Booth and Bones aren’t fooled by it either because this guy is bad. Not to mention that the collar outside the suit and the gold chain makes him look perpetually stuck in the 70s.
Booth’s reaction to Brennan’s open relationships make me giggle. Did he really never date around? Or does he automatically assume that because she’s having sex with someone that it means they’re dating and in a committed relationship, because then it’s back to him being a hypocrite again. Somehow I think he holds her to a higher standard than he holds himself, like she’s so much…better or more pure that this is out of the realm of possibility. I think that while it does make some impact, it’s less that she’s seeing two guys and more that it’s her seeing two guys. But good for Brennan for sticking up for her beliefs; while radically different from Booth’s own, it’s great that she supports her own ideals.
Angela’s jacket is SO cute. She should wear it all the time. Adorable.
Did Booth just wipe his mouth on his tie?!
Anyone else find it weird that Bones takes her dates to the diner where she always hangs out with Booth and her other friends? It just seems odd. Of course, it’s probably to save money so they don’t have to build a different set, but there seems to be an obvious urge to mix business with pleasure there and blur the two worlds. Also, how’d he find her? He thought she was going to the movies. Oh, Booth, not all men pay attention to clothes as much as you do…
I kind of like that Sweets obviously knows that Booth is just invading Brennan’s date and interrogating the guy, but he seems like he’s helping. He’ll probably want to discuss it later, but right now he’s facilitating it. Poor Brennan though, she should kick both their asses.
“I’m fine with it Bones, really, I have zero problems.” The man doth protest too much, methinks. I can’t help but agree with him though, the suit was a little gay. And Brennan is very hot. It’s basically what I was saying in my Gossip Girl review: if you’re seeing a girl that’s that hot and you make no move on her, you’re frigid or gay. But, no offense, Sweets, because I love your tie, but it’s lavender, so you really can’t say much about Jason’s obvious gayness.
Mint tea and a fruit tart is like gay symbolism. Especially the fruit tart. Man, next Booth and Brennan will be eating picks and donuts. Booth and Sweets doing their manly bonding over teasing Brennan is kinda cute though, even if she should shove that iPhone down their throats.
Wow, that is a gorgeous shot of the Washington Monument.
The short discussion that Brennan had with Daisy the intern was interesting. She’s not usually that cold to people or tries to put them down like that, so it’s probably because Daisy is trying to take Zack’s place. Whether that’s because she’s afraid of becoming close with another person that could hurt her (Daisy seems like she could be a potential stalker, or would at least like them to braid each other’s hair), or she just really wants Zack back. Maybe both.
Have to say, when they were talking about Veronica, I misheard and I thought that they were talking about production assistant Holly the whole time. It really figures that the guy whose job it was to bust guys was also having an affair. At least he’d be better at hiding it. It’d also be kind of hard to take that picture if she was in bed with him. Unless her camera has a really great timer.
Are they gonna hook up Sweets with the annoying intern girl? Because…that’d be…it’d fit but I kinda think he deserves better.
Mark, you’re getting hot sex with a hot girl. Why the hell are you complaining? But the looks on Booth’s face as he readily enjoys it blowing up in hers? Priceless. As well as the giddy bouncing on the ball’s of his feet. Also, I bet she finds Booth both strong and intellectually stimulating. Just saying.
Awesome Paul the footage guy! When she said they knew each other, it had to mean something. Awesome Paul, you were awesome. And that was a pretty cool death, so…
Brennan looks so hot in that dress. It’s fabulous. I hope that’s her go to LBD because she’s really rocking it.
Her considering monogamy is kind of… Well, it again points to Booth and Bones getting together because obviously they wouldn’t have been able to if she were being satisfied elsewhere, but it just seems a little obvious. I think that if it was just mentioned that Mark broke up with her and later she mentioned that she was looking towards monogamy, it would work better. I kind of want to give her a hug though, being dumped by two guys must suck.
I think that Brennan’s belief that her relationships are temporary or fleeting goes right back to her childhood, where she was left behind and couldn’t see her family, as well as her current issues with her dad and brother, how they’re only around for a short while. She has abandonment issues, and maybe if she keeps the idea that everyone’s going to leave eventually in the back of her mind, when they do, she’s ready for it and it hurts less. But that also means that she opens up less, which is why she assigns certain roles to people, either sexual or mental, so that even when one leaves her, she’ll still have the other until she can replace it or learn to live without it. So this double abandonment must really hit hard.
Adorable coat. But poor Sweets, being left behind. It’s kind of obvious that it does make it difficult to form other bonds, as they kind of make their own Booth/Bones bubble. With Zack gone and Angela and Hodgins over, I could see how that would make Brennan curl up even more into herself and not try to make anything lasting, but go to her surrogate, Booth.
“You’re gonna take me out because you have coupons?!” is such a couple thing. Love it.
Poor Sweets, all alone. I’m glad he has an option with Daisy (thank God she got fired) but it’s sad that it’s his only option.
Also, what happened to Angela and Hodgins? I certainly don’t want every week to be about their break up and to have that as an overwhelming subplot, but it should have at least been mentioned. It just happened the week before. It wasn’t mentioned, hinted at, anything. Both Hodgins and Angela were acting exactly the same. Even when they were in the same room there wasn’t any awkwardness or anything. It’s good to keep it out of the office, but they’ve never excelled at that, so I’m not sure how they’d start now. It’d just be nice if it was mentioned and not dropped completely.
The new episode is coming on in like two minutes, so time to go see what’s happening this week.
