Yeah, nice "back door pilot". I couldn't stand the terrible accent on the woman, but other than that I didn't hate it. But then, Michael Clarke Duncan goes a long way.

He was the only thing I liked.

I enjoyed it-- a couple minutes into the ep I recognized that it was Saffron Burrows, who played the ambitious friend who has the affair with Colin Firth's character in Circle of Friends.

I think that she's actually british, but that australian accent was dreadful.

I'm not an accent expert by any means, but all I kept thinking was "fake accent! fake accent!" throughout the episode.
As soon as we hit the 20-minute stretch where we saw neither hide nor hair of Booth or Brennan I kind of stopped paying attention anyway. If they were going to give us a different show they should have been honest about it and not called it "Bones."

Still not as bad as Matt Frewer's on Eureka (what the hell are they thinking), but not something I'd bring into a new series unless it's going to turn out to be phony on purpose.

She is, but you're right about how wretched the accent was. I couldn't even tell it was meant to be Aussie. She should've gone back to Irish-- she did that reasonably well.

Art Crawl!!!
Did she stop using the accent somewhere in the middle?
It was . . . weird.
I wish that they had integrated the Bones crew and the new crew together more.

Yeah, as much as most people hated "The Fight" episode of CM, it at least did a good job meshing the two crews, so you had a member of original flavor along with one of the SB group.
