Bones is usually okay with science, but the 'nearly-published' paper by the intern was way off.

1- When we saw the list of papers, they were nearly all single-author papers. Pretty rare in any field.

2- When a paper is accepted in a journal, it doesn't get bumped off for another paper. Paper are published in the order they are accepted, then typeset, then proofed.

3- They made it sound like he'd be a big shot after he published one paper, like his career would be made. Doesn't work that way. You have to publish a lot to get that sort of status.

Ah well.

Interesting what they did with Parker tonight...

They in-show kind of proved what we theorized in a way... in that, Booth didn't know his son well enough not to trust what was going on. Apparently Booth had no communication with his son during all that fictional time away.. and didn't know his son well enough to believe his son might have had other reasons than secretly hating his sister for acting weird.

The fact that they didn't put any Booth thinking about Parker into episodes for such a long time means it wasn't just a slip of the writing, but that fictional Booth really didn't have any communication with fictional Parker.

Personally... I kind of liked that aspect. Because just dropping Parker back in and all being well would have seemed like a cheat... but they gave a nod to the absence by showing Booth wasn't able to trust his son for better motives, and assumed the worst as the show went on even though we've never seen a hint of Parker being bad at all previously.

I'm sorry to say that "domesticated Bones" is not working for me. The stories seem flat, and I just don't find myself emotionally invested. Contrast this with the on-going relationship between Carter and Blake on Eureka, where a similar "pairing" of the leads is working quite well.

The hacker arc is not working for me, either. Starting with last season's finale, they know this guy hacked into their phones but refused to believe he did anything else and they believe Bones and Caroline Julian are crooks and off the case. This is all so ridiculous. Then, at the end, they let him go because he manufactured a new identity. Give me a break.

Why do directors and producers think people want to see movies and shows shot from POV? I find it disturbing to watch. Tonights episode of Bones is a no go for me.

If you did not watch you missed an interesting episode. It worked for me, a little hard to watch- and not due to the camera work.

+1. I made it maybe 10 minutes into the show and just couldn't take it anymore. The camera motion was making me literally sick to my stomach. I'm going to encode it and watch it on the tiny screen on my iPod tomorrow.

I watched it but I didn't enjoy it. Hope they don't do it again.

I watched the whole thing but I didn't like it either, the whole concept was utterly ridiculous. One of the very worst episodes of this show I've seen.

I had zero issue with the format as it's not like one doesn't have hundreds of nearly identical episodes. I think you can set your clock based on the first time they question someone in the interview room. Now I wouldn't want every episode shot as such as it tends to restrict the story line but for a change of pace it was fine.

I liked the episode as a change of pace.  It also reminded me of a MASH episode that was filmed similar.  It's kinda chilling in many ways.

Yeah the first person thing was done before on other shows.... but I was surprise the "spirit" was able to zoom in and out, move, refocus and pretty much what a camera could do, so it wasn't that good.. Maybe a bit more believable if the image was still..
