Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Confuzzled by Dani deciding she was pissed at Tidwell.

I'm totally confused by the whole situation. I really don't like his greasy self. Why is he there?

Okay, was the fruit gum a clue about the FBI guy and the whole conspiracy?

Don't like Dani and Tidwell either and I don't know what, in particular, pissed her off there.

I kind of loved the two Booths. And having Clark back - he was trying so hard to not be sucked in to the gossip matrix.

BTW, is it realistic that Sweets would have picked up all of that based on the little elevator convo he had with Baby Brother Booth?

I loved that. I hope he's here to stay.

Combined with having Older Booth as a patient, I could see him putting the pieces together...

Yeah, that actually didn't require much of a handwave for me.

I loved Cam calling them "the Booth boys." I've grown to like Cam and her history with Booth, especially since it's more than they were just lovers. Her family knows him and likes him, she knows his family, etc.

And I liked the "Booth has a brother?" "That's OK, I didn't know he existed either" as a hand-wave to "Oh, by the way, we're throwing in a character we've never hinted at before."

But I'm not sure Booth can say so surely that Max Keenan will never murder again. Unless there are no old enemies around who could threaten his kids, or no new enemy threatens his kids, that's not a call I think Booth can make. And I love the show's attention to its own history, when Bones tried to say you shouldn't enable family so much and Booth reminded her that she got her father off murder charges--which I'm sure is still a sore point for Booth.

And you could see how having to deny the truth because of his kid brother was cutting him up. All the drama of the other procedurals, fewer of the Baseball Bats of Drama.

I thought that DB did that part very well. He was willing to give up his credit for his brother, but because he felt that he had to, not because he really wanted to.

And the taking the anger out on the people around him rather than on the source rang so, so true. This was easily one of the best eps of the season.

I like a show that has at least a nodding acquaintance with subtlty.

I'm going to have to add season one of Bones to my Netflix clue. I never made it past about the 4th or 5th episode, it just was so clunky. They've really hit their stride now, but I feel like I owe it to the characters to go back and get some of the founding episodes into my databanks.
