Bones: Woman at the Airport
How could you possibly choose Bones over a show called Your Mama Don’t Dance? I mean, sure, they could have taken a note from their poor grammar and switched the “you†with a “yo.†Would that have made it more appealing to your voting sensibilities? Dammit, I hate Bones.
With my prejudice squarely in place, let us continue. Bones has a problem with her current project. The skull has been tampered with through plastic surgery. How, oh how, will she be able to tell who it is now? I predict she’ll figure it out in 45 minutes.
Bones is LA. Right now, they are showing us the hard bodies out by a pool. These will be contrasted with Bones who is still wearing all her clothes. Why the hell are they even talking by the pool? That was a stretch directors and/or writers.
For being a scientist, Bones isn’t very scientific. Her false analogies and emotionally-charged rants against plastic surgery are not those of a scientific mind. Comparisons to foot-binding and calling it barbaric? Again, good job writers. Directors, you’re safe here.
They think mystery skull is a call girl. I mean, escort. Sorry, hooker. A hooker.
There is a sub-plot about coming up with the history of an ancient skeleton. While this is more interesting, it bores me. Why is this show still on?
The fake technology this show uses bugs me. They make no attempts to keep this show grounded in reality, even though all the evidence they use is a basic as you can get. Plain old bones. I blame the…creators?
Bones is on a show with Penny Marshall. Bones wrote a book, and Penny Marshall is directing it. Oh lordy, she talked about her brother, Gary. If they are apart, they can’t help but talk about each other.
Also, Bones talked coldly and scientifically about a space-time paradox. So is she acting supposed to be acting like a scientist or not?
Bones and FBI guy keep going to different plastic surgeons, which gives Bones more of a chance to rant for no reason. I’m glad I get to watch an hour of someone’s, so far, baseless opinion.
The found some special tools a specific plastic surgeon used. Then Bones used them on clay to figure out what their marks would look like on bone. Like a saw to make a specific puncture wound. You shouldn’t look so frustrated by that, Bones. It was pretty obvious to me that it wouldn’t be the right one.
So the real murderer was another escort. Sigh. I didn’t think I’d go way from this show hating it more. Everyone involved should be ashamed.

It’s funny reading your comments-they mirror how I felt watching this show during its first year run. i bailed, of course. I work w/ know-it-alls all day. Watching it on TV doesn’t work for me.
Alas, ppl don’t make me watch TV.
Btb, welcome back from the strike.

SERIOUSLY. thank you for saying this! I want to like that show, but the acting, and the writing, and… the plots… all just are so freaking wooden and creepy and horrible. And I REALLY loathe shows that are like, “Here’s a woman in a powerful professional role who behaves really unprofessionally and lets her emotions run the show just because it’s convenient to the plot!” What are we in here, the 50s?

I like it! Why do you watch if you hate? You too lazy to change the channel?
Remember just TV, not life.
