Nope. I wasn’t okay with that either, but I was already nitpicking enough. 
I mean, can they really determine the cause of a 300-year-old spinal fracture? Torture device wouldn’t be my first guess. How about hard work, osteoporosis, or even a fall?
Remember that Kathy Reichs really is a forensic anthropologist, and the character of Bones is (very) loosely based on her own experiences. While the TV show is sexied up in a number of ways, she is a producer of the show “to keep the science honest”.
Okay episode. Super convenient that Angela and Hodgkins were locked in a cell together, but okay, congratulations to them.
Nitpicks: Agree that the dress wouldn’t have survived the fire in its pristine shape.
The firemen would have found the second body, if not when they were putting out the fire, most certainly when they did their post-fire search and investigation. They don’t allow civilians to even enter a building before they declare it safe as they really do hate when people fall through floors or have beams fall on their heads…
In any event, let’s assume Bones did discover the second body. I was suprised to see them just digging through the wreckage without attempting to preserve and/or document the (potential) crime scene. Bad form for forensic investigators.
Older computers wouldn’t be able to handle a webcam. And even if it did, it’d be incredibly slow.
Okay, enough with the nitpicks. My final criticism is that this is the second episode that I can recall where they have written a Toyota commercial INTO the script:
The first was a few episodes ago when Angela and Sweets’ fiance were going somewhere. She comments that she’s suprised that Angela, a single woman, owns a mini-van. Angela replies that she’s an artist and her Sienna is very spacious, blah blah blah. :rolleyes:
And THIS episode has them conveniently driving another Toyota, this time a Prius. This time, not only do they mention it by name and tout its great features, but Hodgkins swerving to show it off leads to them getting arrested.
Okay, folks, I realize that advertisers are going to have to come up with new ways to advertise given the new digital world, but I have to say that I find these to be really obvious and jarring. What’s next? Booth holding up a bottle at the pub and saying, “You’ve got to try Skyy Vodka, Bones. It is smooth and refreshing.”
Booth was wrong - I would have enjoyed seeing most of those women naked.
I think it was more the ‘when’ than the ‘who’ -
This isn’t the only show that’s doing this, and your example with the vodka isn’t much of an exaggeration for how advertisers are putting ads right in the shows now. Bleargh.
Yeah, I don’t mind something like a Coke can sitting on a table or something, but this type of thing is getting ridiculous. Almost Hiro’s Nissan Versa ridiculous.
Remember how Home Improvement was constantly shilling for Binford Tools? Now that was ridiculous!
Remember, if your circular saw says Binford . . .
GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! Tools aren’t supposed to talk to ya!
