5x12: The Best Episode of Bones that Ever Boned

If this episode were a salad dressing, it would taste like candy, and be fat-free, no, not just fat-free, you would actually lose weight from eating it, because it would be magical. Magical fucking salad dressing that makes you love salad, and eat it, it would make you want to do good things for yourself, because that’s how awesome this is.

Awesome recap full of awesome for a truly epic episode. This one ranks in the top three for me. You know, when Booth did the akl;jfklsajfasklj hip thrust I thought why keep watching, it can't get better. Well.
The thing about your recaps - they always make me want to go back and rewatch with recap in hand because you pick up the most amazing things. eg. #110
Does Hodgins map in this one harken back to X marks the spot in EitB? Just wondering.
I thought Hodgins was going to climb right out of his clothes at #39. TJT was incredible. And the whole Hodgela thing - while I am not a Hodgela fan- was very well done. She should feel so privileged that he is "her guy"
I also loved Hacker in this. Something I have noticed about Show is that when new characters are introduced, I often dislike them, then Show makes me like them.
The thing I really love about Show (other than Booth's hip thrusts) is that they will take characters and allow them to develop just as we all are capable of doing. Brennan lied or at least didn't give the whole truth - about science- for Booth (the only person she would lie for, actually). That would have been impossible until this season. That for me is what takes this show way beyond a typical procedural.
Your fiction at #109 - really lovely.
Thanks for posting

Oooh, good catch with the map in EitB. I think that's a cool idea.

You have just put succinctly what I have been trying to say in just about every post above. I freaking love this genius show.
