My eyes rolled so far up in the back of my head I thought I’d be blind forever! :rolleyes:

However, like others in this thread - I BAWLED Booth told her that Ripley had been put down, and straight through to the end. Including during the anti-dogfighting commercial which I also hope never to see again.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed that!

Also glad that they finally addressed the failed Hodgins Angela romance, if scantly.

Why are they writing Booth to be a moron? I understand when the squints have to explain complicated scientific stuff to him. But the idea of playing possum? Come on. There was something else in the episode that everyone should know that Booth needed to have explained, but it’s slipped my mind.

A friend and I started watching it last night, and stopped watching it about 15 minutes before the end at her request as it was starting to get to her. We may watch the rest of it later. Either I had fast-forwarded through the PSA without noticing it earlier, or we hadn’t gotten to it yet…in which case I will be sure to fast-forward through it when we watch the rest of the show.

The bit with the possum that annoyed me was when Brennan picked it up and, after it started moving, puts it back down and watches it run away, and then tells Booth to catch it because “it might have evidence we need.” Why didn’t you think of that while you were holding it? Unless, of course, she only said that to get back at Both for something.
