Customer Rating: Summary: Love the show, but why pay when FOX.com has it for free? Comment: Bones is a great show if you are not the type that can't handle the sight of a rotting corpse. :)
I give the show itself 5 Stars and have to deduct 2 stars because it is disappointing to see Amazon.com charging for episodes that are available on Fox.com from free.
Buyer beware - Always check a shows network website if it is the current season you are looking to catch up on an episode as most networks are posting full episodes now. Customer Rating: Summary: Dig into this Comment: Bones Season 1 DVD is very good because the show is very good. The sexual tention between the 2 lead characters makes for an intersting show, along with their different views on love, religion and politics. Oh yeah, the murder mysteries are entertaining puzzles. Customer Rating: Summary: what a great twist Comment: If you like Bones and you have been following the show throught the season this season ending is great! It has you guessing right from the start and it will really keep you to the very end. I cannot wait for the next season to start. Customer Rating: Summary: "Stop! Or I'll kick you in the testicles!" Comment: Plot SPOILERS alert.
BONES keeps on keeping on. Two excellent seasons under its belt, and almost half a season's worth of episodes produced so far for Season 3, and good ones, too. As Season 3's first episode ("The Widow's Son in the Windshield") opens up, we learn that Bones has been reluctant to go in the field with Booth and she won't say why. However, a head flung off a bridge forces her to reconnect with Booth. This episode also begins a new serial killer arc, this one being particularly even more gristly and diabolical than most.
Season 3 doles out several other subplots. As per the startling news learned at the altar from Season 2's finale, Angela is already married. An ongoing subplot becomes Hodgins and Angela's search for her long-time but vaguely remembered husband. "The Secret of the Soil" introduces Dr. Sweets, a 22 year old psychotherapist assigned to counsel Bones and Booth, this stemming from the FBI's concern due to Booth having arrested Bones' father. These sessions are generally funny stuff as, mostly, Booth can't help but treat Sweets like a kid. Plus, these scenes tend to open things up even more between Bones and Booth.
I already have several favorites in Season 3. "The Widow's Son in the Windshield" introduces the cannibalistic Gormagon killer. "Mummy in the Maze" is a very neat Halloween show, wherein Booth's shameful phobia is unveiled and Bones's costume is...simply awesome. "The Knight on the Grid" is a taut thriller as the Gormagon killer returns, this time with a personal vendetta against Bones and Booth. And "The Santa in the Slush" is a standout sentimental episode and provides one of the best moments in the series as Bones cuts a deal to have Christmas brought to her incarcerated father and brother. Cool ending, too.
The cases are still bizarre and the corpses borderline grotesque. But the draw remains Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, and that electric "thing" between them. These two still get aces in chemistry, and are still the smokingest hot couple on television. Emily Deschanel continues to nail her role of Temperance "Bones" Brennan. And while her character might've loosened up a little bit (not too much), there's still that endearing naivette and vulnerability which peek out occasionally. And, of course, her refreshing bluntness (some call it social awkwardness) has never left. Boreanaz, he's just a great leading man. Confident and charming, bristling with machismo, yet with a sensitive side. His unveiling of his Christmas present to Bones in "The Santa in the Slush" is one of the best, most touching scenes of the season.
Tack on the rest of the offbeat but familiar crew from the Jeffersonian Institution, and these folks continue to provide the best show in forensics crime-solving. All the ingredients to the series' success are on display for Season 3 - the boosts of levity, the whiffs of romance, the chilling mysteries, and the ongoing character developments. BONES just keeps on keeping on. Customer Rating: Summary: BONES is incredibly addicting..... Comment: The program has been on for almost a full three seasons and has kept me on my toes from week to week.....the cast is incredible ( you just have to love Zach, Hodgekins, Angela [really the most emotional of the Squints], Dr. Brennan and Booth )....and the only question I have is: When are Brennan and Booth going to get together...?
