However, I completely agree with you on the whole not liking how he affected the other characters thing and the scenes with him in it were heavy-handed. @Sunny An eyeopener of a video eh? It gets harder to watch her each week, and it gets harder to watch each week having her learn a lesson so she can be worthy of Booth. November 11th, 2011 7:33 pm, Vanessa on LOVED Brennan in the scenes where she shared music with the fetus and interacted with Finn. Knock her down a few notches, humiliate her, make her apologize for every tiny infraction, force her to endure condescending lectures from asshole friends who also happen to be a Frat Boys Wet Dream, turn her into a trivial doormat who cant talk back to her man without fear of him rejecting her, write her man being constantly disgusted and/or impatient with her.. We need to see that Brennan has grown as a character. If you dont, Im gonna start shipping Booth and Sweets. November 19th, 2011 9:56 pm, MrsG on Only problem was, she existed enough for Booth to propose to her. i dont go and post there because I dont agree with them. Brennan is that clinical and cold regarding about rationalizing why she didnt consider asking Booth to go to the ultrasound? November 11th, 2011 8:20 am, ProfeJMarie (Janet Rundquist) on I hope to heck something good will come out of this and that well see some sort of spark again between these two. As for Brennan, its just a classic case of Brennan. Mitch signed a big deal with the Japanese, one worthless without Tina, who wanted to quit to have a baby. They have to figure out who would want Tina dead and how she died. I dont see how, at all, that would have taught her the empathy she already clearly has. There is also a lot of masticated food in her mouth, but more importantly, there is a finger bones is in the stomach of a rat in the stomach of the python. He wasted an opportunity, now the babys on the way, and I felt that he/she was better emotionally-equipped than either one of his/her parents. Back at the Jeffersonian, Camille welcomes Finn to the lab. In saying that, after watching a video of HH at the Paley fest. Sunny- you may have hit the character trait in HH that I saw a glimpse of at the Paley Center with his response to a fans question. Paw Patrol Skye, Chase & the Pups In Training Game Dog Bones - Learning Colors Videos For Kids. People talk about that usually as soon as they find out about the pregnancy. Thats not asserting her independence or hiding behind a mask of indifference to keep out pain! And yes, I was eating hotdogs while watching the episode! Thats just ridiculousness. a. That whole, I like it when you call me a Jedi seemed more foreplayish than anything Ive seen from Booth and Brennan these past few eps. While I agree this might not be one of the best episodes, it wasnt bad either. (as Dwight Little) Writing Credits Cast (in credits order) complete, awaiting verification Produced by Music by Cinematography by Gordon Lonsdale Film Editing by Andrea Folprecht Casting By D. Sweets, my dear little duck, referred to the baby as the little girl Brennan is carrying.that just weirded me out. And what happened to her emotional growth over the last 6 years? (I find Sweets endlessly annoying, but in such an instance, he could have actually been useful.) Probably because it had to do with foodnot that I am a big fan of hot dogs, unless theyre kosher, but food is food, so. OMG- this was *&%^$#! Nope, there was none of that. Andall of this is necessary for Brennan to learn empathy? And it doesn't seem to bother anybody else here how I talk. In this case, she didnt invite him out of a sense of autonomy, but rather, because the ultrasound images are pixelated black and white, and Booth only likes movies in color. What seems important to other people might not be as all important to her.. Exactly WTM- well put. Does it really make sense to anyone that Brennan would not invite Booth to an ultrasound of their baby? Theme: its the theme of doing the right thing and doing the easy thing (which is ironic, given that the episode was an easy episode vs a right episode). As an Angel fan I saw more emotion and got more warm fuzzys from two vampires sneaking into a teaching hospital to get a sonogram to see if the baby Darla was carrying was a monster or not. 63 Responses to BONES Recap: The Hot Dog in the Competition, Well, I dont know about you but personally I loved the episode, the chance to make brennan see that she is not in this alone and that she should be including booth in all aspects to do with the baby, and she was sorry about what happened. I really did not understand Hodgins reaction to Finn initially. 5:29. damage may be beyond repair. Now, Brennans pregnantthe second time that Booth has found himself in this situation. Youre right what in the world? It would be just like Booth to do that the one who said he would take the guy down like a flea. A python crawls out of the ribcage. One fun scene is when Brian Tobin calls Sweets scrawny and says hed rather be interrogated by the pregnant chick. Booth advises him not to go there, and Sweets explains that Booth is the father of said pregnant chicks baby. Erased. Other than the end scene which was cute, I really thought the rest was just silly. I read a pre-cap of this episode yesterday and the person said they enjoyed this episode more than the premiere.

Im still not convinced that Booth and Brennan are in love. From his lines being slightly over the top for the conversation (probably not phrasing that right, am searching for the right words) to his hand movements in one of the interviews. I guess that they are now competing with the comedy shows. To diffuse the tension between them, the couple agrees to experiment by putting themselves in each other's shoes. He was my second highlight. I cannot understand how a man with any class would speak to someone like that and that fans think he is so wonderful. Booth never explained anything during the season and HH felt like he did not have to explain anything to the fans. But overall, I still really loved the ep. Oh God, how I wish that this is the case, that they know this is not going to work for this show. Camille defends the young man, saying his criminal days are long behind him. Im not going to like BONES just because it happens to be occupying airspace. Angela then tries to explain to Bones why Booth is upset he wasn't invited to the ultrasound, but Bones doesn't understand. Empathy. She also wanted to quit the sport. I feel his pain. HH cant Make that happen between them. For once I would love if BB were shown to be a regular couple in love doing regular things just like everyone else. Heh I was totally on the other end of the spectrum. bones the hot dog in the competition tina thomas actressrandolph county, . Thats a good point, Gina. Sure, Brennan has made some mistakes in the past (and I think her not privately telling Booth about the gender of their baby is another one), but if there is one thing she has had, its empathy. up with now being told about a OBGYN appointment and the sex of their The Doctor in the Photo was a dream episode. This is becoming a farce already. And now, he doesnt even flinch when she dumps the gender of the baby at a crime scene. I am convinced that they do love each other-love doesnt have to have couples constantly all over each other-and Booth and Brennan definitely wont be sickenly demonstrative. Hanson is living vicariously through Booth, the Macho Alpha Elite Sniper cum Prodigy FBI Agent cum Lothario cum Most Noblest Action Hero EVAR. In the series premiere, she told Booth she wanted to help him with his cosmic balance sheet. Years later, on a Halloween night, Booth shot and killed their suspect, and she said she was sorry he had to do that. Here, she was moreclueless. ALL. And the way each character reacts to him is rather appropriate. November 13th, 2011 2:26 pm, Jasper on The remarkable work of new squint - and former juvenile delinquent - Finn links obscure evidence found in the belly of a snake with laws of physics that helps solve the crime. Agree with you all the way, Sarah. and her charging at a man while pregnant? It was a highly disappointing episode to me and left me really underwhelmed and that is saying A LOT for me, who usually finds quite a bit in an episode to truly enjoy. The writers are totally screwing with b&bs relationship and it really sucks. Through the power of a living GI Joe doll he can act out whatever you want to call his problem. But elocution was not on my application. And when Brennan figures out that Tina was pregnant and quitting competitive eating, Tina's manager, Brian Tobin becomes a suspect. Again, WTF? As a result we get episodes like this one. What seems important to other people might not be as all important to her. jumanji monkeys in police car; mount morrison south ridge trail; preston pippen college basketball. As I said, have them working the case and throw in the shipper scene at the end. My husband never reads the reviews or posts but even he said they have made Brennan like a robot! Im sure well see something more of this in the future (I would HOPE), but I also would have liked to see Booth injecting excitement about this gender news with Brennan much like they got excited about treehouses. List was born in Florida and began her career as a model at the age of two appearing in national print ads. I am sorry that I did not just go to another room and watch Greys because it was so good. I thought it was well rounded. How many times does the concept of family need to be explained to her. Mr. Sedlak! Not just because he has a Riggins look either! Booth brings the competitive eating league owner in for questioning. I have never at this point hated an episode, just find some are not blockbusters, but do still enjoy this show a great deal and will continue to. Despite his brilliance in the lab, Finn is met with hostility and skepticism, leading Cam to question her decision to give him a chance to start anew. Bones has gone completely nuts, and now seems like she has a mental health problem. He, however, did not seem to care what he said.

Now I am just Ehh if I see the show or not. Yes, I know that Emily was pregnant, but there were plenty of verbal (and fully-clothed) things that could have been scripted to capture the beauty and magnitude of that moment. These characters arent perfect. The Bones writers mess up all the time Id learned to let things like that go and just try to enjoy the show. No. I have a hard time picturing Brennan being so careless about the ultrasound we have had examples in the past that would allow us to believe otherwise, and the reasoning was extremely sloppy. They have skipped so much of the relationship and we are supposed to believe that they have been together for about six months, living together and in love and they have Brennan acting so silly. I finished watching it on DVR last night and to echo others here; it was very painful. Really? November 11th, 2011 1:17 am, Hai Pham on Which then led me to feel really, really confused (and annoyed). c. Booth getting pissed and leaving for a bit Not that she pushed him, but what happened afterwards. For too long have they kept the main leads apart and after the disaster that was season 6 we still get this miserable writing. Ugh. 31:53. November 12th, 2011 10:42 am, Lindsey on Brennan kept bringing up sex and I thought that was just silly. Tina Thomas Edit Edit source . I love the journey we are being taken on. There were many positive views of the episode on this post however, and I choose to be inspired by those. One step forward five steps back. Did HH & Co. spend so much time and exquisite effort building up a multi-dimensional, beautifully complex female protagonist with the EXPRESS INTENTION of eventually tearing her down? What was once established through past episodes, lines built up through time, the details crisscrossingShaken. I loved Finn. Frankly I feel like the negative direction Bones has taken is the result of a misogynists revenge fantasy. Feet on the Beach bothered me more, I think. Everyone enjoys the pie making process and wonders what itll be like once the pie come out of the oven? November 12th, 2011 9:45 am, Rachel on November 19th, 2011 10:43 am, Julia on They were never meant to be. I dont feel as badly about this episode as with Feet on the Beach, but both had the exact same problem when it came to Brennan and empathy. In season six, she (and we who watched) carefully navigated different levels of partnership, relationships and introspection, lowered that wall, and declared herself strong. Mitch is arrested. More than ever the cases are being solved in the last three minutes of the show. At the ruined apartment, Bones and Booth examine the body. I LOVED Finn. The ca Read allDixie ex-con Finn Abernathy, a genius, joins the team and impresses even Bones. Especially when she tackled that dude. 4.0 / 5.0. Whatever I have loved ED and DB as actors who know their craft for a long time now- DB back to his days as Angel. Give us the real Brennan back and the show will be golden! 18:18. The case is that of a female eating competitions champion, whose corpse is being eaten from the inside by a live snake. I personally am not seeing that at all. Hopefully, Fox saw the video and at least addressed it with him. Jasper thanks. Ive been through the five stages of grief on season 6 and Im experiencing it all over again. Dixie ex-con Finn Abernathy, a genius, joins the team and impresses even Bones. I know that Sarah has to watch and review Bones-but hopefully her negativity isnt catching. With all this talk about the potential tension to be had between them on the religion vs science front, Im not comforted that it will get betterpossibly ever. I cant even bring myself to watch Season Seven. I have to agree with you, Gina. I had thought a lot of him up until then. The writers no longer care about character development of Brennan. They replaced the sexual tension with silly banter and the cold, obtuse Brennan again. Match Paw Patrol Pups to Dog Bones. Not really. Quite a display of his temper and his thought process.bottom line for him is: All in all Im loving the new season, That was a really interesting take on what I really thought was a great episode. I realize he wants tension between them but tonight was just silly IMO. Finn and Hodgins then have a bonding moment. Remember when he finally told her his reasons for wanting to live together-that he wanted to provide a home for their child and not be like his father? And yes the empathy thing? Quite a display of his temper and his thought process.bottom line for him is: He thinks shes beautiful and he is attracted to difficult or challenging women. I love the show. These names are references to Opie Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show, and Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island. So, yes, I hate. Booth & Brennan have given rise to a new form of show killerThe Bones Curse This curse is the antithesis of the Moonlighting Curse. . To be fair about it- there were a couple of good things about the show. It seems that whatever she learned last year has been forgotten. Just for laughs? Ask questions and download or stream the entire soundtrack on Spotify, YouTube, iTunes, & Amazon. Bones and Booth share a meal at the diner. I agree with you Sarah, the writers need to keep the tension between B&B by resorting to the same tire arguments of seasons past ruins any good scene later in the episode. I love the Office and even after marriage and children, Jim and Pam have always had that spark. Just as many people were shocked when the series took that direction without them even being in a relationship, I think she is starting to feel that. Yes, some things can be left to the imagination if you care to, but for me I really want to know why a character does something. The gross gaging is part of it all if you havent noticed bones do have episodes like that early on its what makes the show. I can understand him being angry and frustrated but what he said to that fan was completely out of line. After Ron Patterson, Tina's stiffest competition, wins the competition she was slated to win, he has motive. Hodgins and Abernathy will later start a business, on the side, together under the name Opie & Thurston. Most would agree crossed. Finn Abernathy: [to Hodgins] Excuse me, sir. Again- inconsistancies are killing this show. Season 8 In The Partners in the Divorce, Finn helps in the Lab with the case and mentiones to Dr.Brennan how when his parents were exessively polite they had big fights. I. Brennans quick handling of the snake in the lab, thereby continuing the fun tradition that she is (by her own words), Only afraid of snakes when Booth is around to be jumped upon. Wooo! Thanks for sharing. The remarkable work of new squint Finn helps solve the crime. Not in the manner that it would have went down. His record has been officially expunged, she explains. He then admits he was in Tina's apartment. ***The snake thing was pretty cool. And worse, clueless regarding Booth, a man she has known and worked with for nearly a decade, a man she loves and is going to have a child with. He has to face hard questions about his past and morality but soon bonds with initially hostile Hodges. Ill take that. It kind of explains Booth last season and how he was written. Again, I ask, who was the Brennan in this episode, Who is this woman. Opie is a child who is usually taught a lesson in each episode, sometimes getting into trouble, but always meaning well. Bones simply nods and gets back to work. Booth can not believe he was not informed, and Bones can't believe he is reacting so strongly. I am also one in the minority who liked The Finder so we will see. @Jasper November 11th, 2011 11:58 am, samnickmike on Yeah. Maybe the new villian will add something positive to the show and pull the characters together. Yes, they are real issues, but the writers handling of them (i.e. But still is one of my favorite shows! tunefind Also, he has experience being in relationships and having a child so it only makes sense that Brennan would make a lot more mistakes than him. The Hot Dog in the CompetitionS7 E210 Nov 2011. @TinkonBrink sorry for the mix up in my last post- I have made zero videos. We arent hanging on to see if In the end, she took Carolines word and asked Angela to do a secret background check on Finn. What was worse for me (and it might be unfair to lay this at Finns feet) was the way each other person in the lab reacted to him. Maybe Stephen Nathan is the one really calling the shots now and HH just signs off on whatever SN says, but whatever it is, its not working. Booth watches video of Tina at food eating competitions. So we start with the Booth & Brennan pastryroll it out until its perfect. Go along with him or leave. They are going to make a pie. There is more to discuss from this episode; the comments are open, so sound off! They all seems disjointed. I think Ive already mentioned enough of these, so I wont add more. There are so many things that Brennan should (and has every right to) ask him about (namely Hannah related) but we all know that will never happen because the writers just love to make Booth look perfect. I post here because I agree with Sarah. Hes gone down in my estimation. The bottom half is unaffected. The fans will always have something to gripe about. The young man fires back, explaining he speaks "science", the only language that matters. EVER. The young intern explains he did some "joyriding" and might have stolen a few items from the local grocery store. LOVED him. Sort of how HH felt about fans of the show. And I dont care how special the make-up moments are, at some point, they arent worth it if the fight it took to get B&B there is completely off-base. i was disappointed to see brennan act that way towards booth in this episode, when in season 6, she seemed to be attuned to booths feelings. But she knows Booth and if the writers take that away from their relationship, the history of empathy between them, wellpardon me while I call that a steaming pile of canine excrement. Bones is officailly on the Bubble- in US TV language they have a good chance of not being renewed next year. love a Mr.Spock or want to spent the rest of his life with her. The remarkable work of new squint - and former juvenile delinquent - Finn links obscure evidence found in the belly of a snake with laws of physics to help solve the crime. And I know I am not in the mirority. My favorite part was Booth & Sweets in the conference room with the husband talking about his wifes abilities and the look on their faces because they think he is describing her sexual antics. Millions turn on their TVs every Thursday night to watch the latest misadventures of Booth and Brennan. It was a coma episode for Brennan, I am sorry, but I now view that episode as never, never even played out for the characters. All of the angst and heartbreak of last season and we end up with an even more clueless Brennan.
