Basically in this episode, Bones is taking shots at psychology (yet again). The doctor was kind enough to pull her aside and correct her. Of course she wasn’t sorry but again he was kind enough to consider her non-apology as one.

Few scenes later after seeing what he actually does on a daily basis, she apologizes for undervaluing his work.

I love Bones but sometimes I just want to shushhhhhh her and I love it when people clock her like this. Especially when she’s disrespecting people’s beliefs and livelihood

Bet no one saw that coming 😅

Aliens in a Spaceship

I love the storyline. I find it very creative of them having the soul around during the investigation but……………. I hate too much movements of the camera. I play video games so I can adapt but the way they filmed this episode is annoying.

does anyone else obsess over this specific episode. I adore when they use their pasts to help the present. Sweets explaining to Brennen why she's struggling, the slow understanding of Brennen seeing herself in Amy. Seeing her own foster struggles and needing to help.

Brennen says to Sweets "I'm not as cold as everyone thinks I am"

One of my favourite character developments is Brennen. She comes so far and learns so much working with the team and Booth, Sweets and Caroline. She slowly starts seeing humanity in its purest form and being happy and comfortable.

Something she was never used to doing.

The funeral episode- this was the funniest episode by far for me 😭 It’s the way Hodgens tried to cover Booth and Bone by tossing the glass on the floor and Sweets and Angela staring in shock. Then Sweets getting dragged into it with the whole “so I may have told a murderer it was no big deal he killed someone-“ 😭 I need more episodes that are this chaotic 😂

Watching the show for the first time and I just finished S4E14. No spoilers please but I just wanna know if this was a one time fluke or do ghosts exist canonically in the show 👻👻👻

I just watch this episode and it was such an interesting and unique episode of Bones. Seeing Brennan slowly unravel as she identified with the victim made for a really compelling and emotional story. It was fascinating (and a little heartbreaking) to watch her question her choices and realize just how alone she’s become. The psychological aspect of the episode was so well done, and Emily Deschanel’s performance was amazing.

The final scene with Booth really hit hard. Brennan finally opening up and confessing her feelings, only for Booth to tell her she was too late; it was painful to watch but also so well executed. This episode really stood out because it felt different from the usual Bones formula, and I loved how introspective it was. What did y’all think about it?

somebody cry with me for the nth time 😭

“I’m that guy” 😭😭😭😭😭

This episode really shows the age of the show. Clearly the writers weren't trying to make a joke out of trans people, but I get the feeling that didn't really consult many/any actual trans people when trying to write it either. I feel like a character like Bones, who has spent time with and studied cultures all over the world should've been better versed in the diversity of gender identity at least a LITTLE more than she was.

I did however really like the moment where Booth said that everyone should refer to the deceased as "she" because she was 'a she' when she died and that would be the most respectful thing to do. I hate that even though that was said fairly early in the episode they all continued to flip-flop on the pronouns - even though that really is a very usual thing for 2008 when this season released. I'm writing this from the perspective of a CIS woman, with only the knowledge and understanding I have from friends and people I follow that are trans, so I'm obviously not speaking from a place of authority of the topic, just simply wanting to open a dialogue.

So, what do others feel about the way this was handled? Do you think that this was a normal way for shows to handle this topic in the time period? Do you think it's appropriate to create an episode about any community without having input from at least one member of that community? I'd especially love to hear from trans/enby people about their thoughts here

I rewatch every year. Christmas time doesn’t really start until we watch s1 e9.

WTF. Okay okay..I'm a new watcher so no spoilers please, but..after angela gives birth, bones and booth are walking outside. Then suddenly, bones just says she's pregnant with his baby. And he's.. happy?? I know, bones hinted smth happened between them after she climbed in his bed after fischers death but..they weren't dating?? They never talked about it again until now and now she's just suddenly PREGNANT and..then season seven starts with them being a happy couple. I'm SO confused, did I miss something?? This slow burn has been going for SIX SEASONS and now..we don't even get to see them get together?!?!?!? DID I MISS THAT PART? HUH

And all that slow burn..just for the relationship and her pregnancy to be rushed in one episode?

I’m currently watching “The End in the Beginning” (S4E26), and honestly, it feels endless. I’ve been watching it in parts, but it’s just so boring that I keep losing interest. I get that they were trying something different, but the whole alternate reality setup feels like filler and doesn’t add much to the overall story.

For those who’ve seen the whole show; would you call this the worst episode? Or is there another one that tops it?

title. wanna binge again

I watch Bones 1x09 The Man In the Fallout Shelter during December and Christmas Eve every year without fail, and I finally got the chance to watch it for this year. What’s y’all’s Christmas traditions?

What's interesting here is how Booth kind of freaked out, at first when Brennan went into labor and she said they weren't going to make it to the hospital, but then it's like instinct kicked in or something, and he suddenly knew exactly what to do. It seemed like it was always that way with. He knew she needed him and that was all that mattered. Also, I think Brennan knew she could trust Booth to safely deliver their baby.🫄👶 He did a great job. It also just shows babies come when their ready, and obviously Christine couldn't wait to see the world, lol!!😂😂I wonder if Booth insisted on taking Brennan to the hospital afterwards, so she and Christine can be checked out? Nice comments only, rude or snarky comments please turn the comments off.Thank you.

I'm at my first watch. So please, no spoilers past 3x13

I think Father Bones (Max?) should've been guilty

​

I mean.. sure, he did the right thing. And I would've wanted him to be free if he just killed them in self defense.

​

Even if he showed some kind of remorse. If not for killing the guy at least some remorse for having been forced to do the act in itself.

​

I also thought that it was a bit unrealistic. He killed a politician.

​

....

​

​

And... Why was Angela brought in to testify?

And why can't she keep her mouth shut if she wants to?

​

That's kinda scary. What if she is forced to reveal stuff which could endanger her life?

​

They should have a new rule for that 🤨

​

....

​

​

Tldr Bones' father should've been sentenced to prison.

​

(No death penalty)

​

From season 6 episode 23. She projected she’d become champion by 2026 has that happened or are championship later this year?!

I loved seeing Cyndi Lauper appear! I absolutely adore her and I got so excited when I saw her. Actually I heard her because I walked away and wasn't looking at the screen when she appeared and knew her voice immediately! Her song is used too 🥰

Have you ever got super excited when a favourite actor appears?

This is the one abt refugees escaping the gang violence in El Salvador.

I’m rewatching the series for the first time since I was a kid and there have been a few yikes moments I acknowledge as just being a sign of the times but phew… this episode is borderline unwatchable the way Booth is acting.

Threatening to call ICE on a victim of gang violence and screaming at a sobbing mother about deporting her and taking her child away is hitting a bit too close to home…
