I think that she's actually british, but that australian accent was dreadful.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

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.

The Ryan and Esposito actors were hilarious. Beckett's reaction to them even more so.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
did anyone catch L&O:LA last week? (I didn't watch it when it aired, so I don't know when it came on the tv).
I was pretty disturbed by the circumstances of the murderer's crime, that her mother put her two daughters in foster care decades ago and then when the mother exited the hospital, she only picked up one of the daughters.
I don't know much about the foster care system, but is it realistic that someone would not take both children if you are going to pick them up from foster care? If you have 10 kids, I get that, but why not take both?
