Bones- new season

Does anyone else think that Temperance has lost whatever minimal social skills she acquired in the past few seasons and reverted to being a cold, robotic, humorless bitch? Is it because Seely has a girlfriend? (THAT’S not gonna last. I can’t see that they have anything in common.)

I do like Temperance’s new hairstyle. She didn’t have a hairstyle before.

Cam is hot-hot-hot. The body on her continues to amaze and astound. And those dresses she wears: :cool:.

Cam’s wearing too much makeup these days. The first episode it was really glaring - she’s still doing it but has toned it down a bit, thankfully.

Yes. The dialog for her is terrible.

It feels like one of those shows where different writers have clashing views of the character and write her in highly varied ways. Anya from Buffy was the same way. That said, this season is a lot better than last season.

So where was Booth’s newswoman girlfriend in tonight’s episode?

The drawings that Angela made of the victims of the slave ship were lovely.

Still recovering from her bullet wound? Or purposely not included in every single episode unless needed in order to avoid paying her series regular fees?

One or the other probably.

Hmmm… or to see if viewers like her. I don’t. Lose her, I say. The ensemble was fine. It didn’t need any new people. The rotating interns provide all the novelty the show needs.

Fix Cam’s hair and get her back into those skin-tight dresses.

I haven’t watched the series, but now am watching re-runs on TBS with my kids (my youngest closes her eyes for the 1st-Act gross body stuff ;).

Question - in spoilers so no one gets…well, tipped to an old plot issue:

The artist woman - Angela? - there is an ep where they’re locked in over Xmas and get to meet family through a glass. She says “don’t freak when you see my dad - he’s famous” and then it is shown to be:

Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top

He has no dialogue and is on-screen for maybe a minute.

Has that ever been developed? Has he been back? Does the show do stuff like that a lot?

He’s been back a few times. It’s just one of those things - she’s got a famous dad, is all.

They also have an episode that is primarily of him and Hodges - hilarious stuff.

Duuude. Just watched last night’s episode - what is up with Cam’s three-sizes-too-small Year 3000 camel toe Science Jumpsuit? That thing was heinous.

Also, she’s back to crazy-ass too much makeup and looks a little, you know, “done”. Which sucks.

Yeah, something is going on with Cam… Maybe she was looking better than Tempe and upstaging her. :frowning:

However, Bones is now saddled with the Product Placement Phone, it seems. Guess Hodgins and Angela sold the Amazing Prius?

This show is my household’s guilty pleasure. I don’t recall Bones being this socially inept in the first season. In that season, it seemed that she knew what the protocols were, she just didn’t always play along. In later seasons, she doesn’t seem to know what they are. She seems to be turning into Rain man.

The writing on this show is pretty bad. What saves it is that the actors are good and have good chemistry between them.

I’m not digging the new girlfriend. I was kinda “meh” on her until she insisted on taking – er – being gifted Temperance’s glasses. That seemed pretty prickish. She seems very dominant, and in a kinda bitchy way.

Yeah, she annoys me. It does make sense that Booth would like her, though - they usually manage, probably by accident, to write his character pretty consistently. Everybody he’s ever really dated who isn’t in the main credits has been a successful driven blonde.

I liked that. She was bonding with Temperence by helping her with her social skills.

Yeah the phone was pretty obvious!

Yeah, the writing has been wavering since the special Booth on a boat episode. Since the, it’s seemed like there’s been some kind of battle between the original writers and a newer team.

Darla and Buffy?

Back in the earlier seasons he had a few different girlfriends - one specifically was a blonde lawyer type who he didn’t go on vacation with. God, I can’t believe I remember this.

ETA - and Buffy was driven as hell - can you believe how long it took a California teenager to get a damned driver’s license?

I love you for this.

I was kinda hoping it would be Hannah in that bar of chocolate… now THAT would have been interesting.

Is Tempe really not the least bit jealous???

LOVE Mr. Nigel-Murray and glad to see him back. Why was he hiding his face during the big “reveal” at the Founding Fathers in the last scene? Because he was a bad liar?
