My objections, one and all, Barb. Glad you have the good words.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

In fact, I was convinced when she first saw Cam afterwards, that she had guessed and next thing we would see was the two of them dishing and Hodgins walking in on them and then having an exasperated fit.
That's exactly what I thought - it looked like she gave Cam a little nod and I was all "oh, she's not fooling her at all."
Mark Valley did that Booth role a lot more naturally and subtly in Keen Eddie. Way too over the top.
And the whole mirroring thing was just too...I don't know, self-aware or something. It all felt very forced.

Yeah, they were definitely trying too hard, especially with the English reverse-Booth/Brennan. Everything was way too on the nose.
Some good character bits, nonetheless, but all too much sacrificing of characters along the way too.

OH SHIT!! Didn't even notice that. Well, at least she didn't get killed (or turn out to be the villain) this time.
Of course it does put her liberal sexual attitudes in a whole different light.
AND now I want a Bones/Torchwood x-over, complete with an appearance from Capt. John.

Yeah, the Angela/Hodgins thing was dumb. Somebody at the network must have said "That's boring! Break them up!"

And now a search for an assistant, which I guess they figured even they couldn't shoehorn into the premiere.

Well, snap. I knew I'd seen her somewhere. Don't ask me why, but I really want to slash her with Brennan.

“Not dead yet!”

Well, and the way that Keen Eddie was filmed, in and of itself was sort of over the top and Monty was such a great foil for him (love me some Julian Rhind-Tutt). If Mark had overplayed it would have really stuck out, don't you think?

Man I wish that show had lasted. It was like an inverted DueSouth.
