Mummies! And Bones as Wonder Woman!
My favorite line from the preview- “I think the bullet bounced off my bracelet”.
This is a straight woman saying this, but Dayam! Bones is hot as Wonder Woman.
It’s also funny that even though she’s not familiar with a lot of popular culture she’s very familiar with Wonder Woman.
But not Catwoman, which is kind of strange. Of course, her boss is even less familiar, since she called Catwoman a super-hero and said she had 9 lives. She is a morally ambiguous burglar and has no powers.
But you are right about Bones being hot. 
Holy Hell, Bones was smokin’ in that Wonder Woman costume! When she started to spin around…wooooo!
Has anyone mentioned that Emily Deschanel looked mighty darned hot? Even hotter than usual, I daresay.
Bones was hot, although some awkwardly contained, her mammories were quite jiggly.
But boss lady wasn’t far off on Catwoman. The current comic book Catwoman has somewhat reformed her ways and become a hero, if a somewhat vigilante morally ambiguous one. The current comics Catwoman is a normal (other than being quite athletic) human, but the specific costume boss lady was wearing was the Tim Burton movie Catwoman, who did have nine lives. I believe the more recent Halle Berry Catwoman also had nine lives.
I did find it odd that Bones knew all about Wonder Woman (specific materials in her equipment!) but had trouble remembering Superman’s secret identity.
What’s a Squint?
I don’t recall that being the case.
It’s what the FBI jocks call the Smithsonian Nerds.
Let’s be honest, her boobs looked weird.
Weirdly hot, yes.
It wasn’t. She said it because she survived the fall out of the window like a cat, but there was no evidence that she had any kind of powers.
I did say morally ambiguous. While she does help out the good guys sometimes, she is still a burglar. Who steals stuff that doesn’t belong to her for her profit. And of course, she is also a killer in the current book. Not a super-hero.
And while I wouldn’t mind a Catwoman movie, they have not yet made one.
A squint is what the FBI in the show call the scientists that find their evidence for them.
I thought so too. I’m surprised Booth’s jaw didn’t fall off when she walked out of the bathroom.
I really really hope that the whole “Angela’s divorce” subplot gets wrapped up soon. Dramatic Bitch’s personal problems are taking time away from the creepy murders!
So you guys get Wonder Woman and we ladies get…a nerd? I think Booth should have dressed up as a vampire. Ha! (Hey, if they’re going to steal the irrational fear of clowns from Buffyverse, then they can steal the vampire look, too. Boreanaz makes one hot vampire.)
Stupidest plot contrivance: the mandatory costume party. You know, they really could add more reality to the series if they’d put more time into creating plausible excuses for putting Deschanel in a WonderWoman outfit. I could think of at least 2 better, and more plausible, reasons why they’d all attend a costume ball:
a) One of the foundations that Bones supports (e.g. foster children) puts on a costume ball each year as their major fundraiser. She invites the others to come along to fill up a table. Who’d say no to that?
b) They are applying for a huge government grant to study the reproductive cycles of Indian mealworm. The chairman of a key committee invites them to attend the costume ball of his pet charity…Hey, it’s politics, people.
I laughed when Booth yelped at the clown and when Bones spun around at the end.
The costumes were more interesting than the mummy plot.
Methinks that the writers should find a convenient excuse to put Emily Deschanel in a superhero costume every week.
Well, at least it is a nerd that looks like Boreanaz when he takes off his glasses.
Real boobs tend to do that.
I think they ought to find a convenient excuse to make her gain 15-20 pounds. She might end up being even prettier than her sister if she wasn’t so gaunt. I’d also like to see Hodgins look like he does in this picture. It’s less creepy scientist, and more cute guy.
As for the episode, was anyone else disturbed by the missing girl’s parents’ conviction that she was dead? I thought it was going to turn out that they’d killed her. And PunditLisa, I’m not sure that irrational clown fear was so much a poke at Buffy as the X-Files - Scully was an FBI agent with a clown fear too. Angel hadn’t been the one on Buffy who got freaked by clowns, so… I agree about the mandatory party, but it’s not the first time this odd policy has surfaced (they had to attend a Christmas party too) so I guess the place is just odd that way. They ought to call them PR events, though, since that’s probably what they’re aiming for with these mandatory functions.
Ooh, pretty eyes! I wondered if the private imvestgator’s “eww” comment about guys with beards might have been overheard by him and get him to shave his beard.
I was getting extremely annoyed by the P.I.'s insistence that Angela’s husband was this great guy who really loved her because he built her a shack on the beach and was waiting for her to come back to him. IMO, that’s really creepy and makes him sound like a whacko not a sensitive romantic.
