Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I can't figure out how the villain managed to lug Booth's body from his apartment building, and then get him out to the location where he woke up
He also had to hoist Booth from a boat at the water level up to the deck, and get him down to the lower level and into the yellow submarine thing without anyone noticing there was an extra boat.
Also, C4 is inert without an igniter. I'm no expert, but I don't think there was anything keeping him from just pulling the wires out.
All in all, not much with the sense making.
Yes, I kept thinking, why don't they just pull the wires out?
I really don't like the "dead person that can physically interact with the world" thing. It's been done too much and not done well. Also, I didn't buy Booth's brother just immediatly showing up with the remains. It was better than the circus one, but still bad. I had high hopes for the gravedigger story. Oh, speaking of that,shouldn't booth have been buried?
I thought that seeing Booth in what was v. coffinlike was kind of fun.
Also, I thought that Cael was Denny in this situation. Maybe booth has some unexpected brain thing going on (as we suspect on Grey's Anatomy.)
And I want to know more about the parents that named their sons Seeley adn Jared - both fairly unusual names.
I'm wondering if they were thinking, "Man, we've got to deal with the Gravedigger thing, the fans are getting twitchy." Still, this could have been done a lot better.
I can see them needing someone with Booth, 'cause otherwise we've just got him talking to himself. The corporeal ghost, though, was weird. Still, a nice touch after four years to find out where Parker got his name.
That FBI agent couldn't have lugged Booth around, much less hoisted him into that sub thing. For that matter, I was never happy with how Hodgins and Brennan ended up buried in *her* car. Awful tidy job of burying.
The best part was watching the squints work. For all Brennan's desperation to find Booth, she was still unwilling to compromise evidence. That would have been a nice quandary, if Hodgins hadn't been there to provide the impetus to misconduct. However, while evidence is sacrosanct, living suspects can be . . . persuaded. And smacked in the head with briefcases. Hah.
I completely buy Hodgins stealing evidence and conducting his own investigation. Poor naive Angela, not believing the government has records of people. "Only conspiracy freaks call it Spring Cleaning."
I've come to quite like Sweets. His utter refusal to allow them to torture Whatserface was good. I was hoping he'd manage to psych her out, but beating her with science was good.
Not what I was hoping for, but the side bits were nice. I like seeing that the characters have their own agendas and that while they'll back each other up they don't share the same motives.
It seems a small irritation in the midst of all the inconsistencies, but why was it necessary for the cast to go through that entire episode in evening gowns and tuxes? Other than the 45 seconds or so at the beginning where Brennan was talking about some sort of party or presentation or whatever, there was absolutely no point to having them wearing those clothes.
Because they didn't have time to go change.
But why even set up the story so that the cast had to be in formal wear? It had no bearing on the episode. They might as well have been in Halloween costumes again.
Also, I would think someone as practical as Brennan would keep a change of clothes at the lab. She could have changed while the X-rays were being done on the dead body, or while they went out to collar the evil FBI agent, or whenever. I'm sure there could be a lag time of 2 or 3 minutes in between procedures and interviews.

Idiot. So we can all see Seely Booth in a tux. Have you no sense of priorities?
