At the ruined apartment, Bones and Booth examine the body. Plus, there was a case. Angela then IDs the victim based on facial reconstruction: Tina Thomas. I loved Finn. He has to face hard questions about his past and morality but soon bonds with initially hostile Hodges. Let me get this straight; she slept next to him (maybe with him as in sex, why not, we can dream because we are never going to get confirmation with SN writing or approving scripts for this show), then she got up and went to a Doctors Appointment and had a sonogram. Fangirls will oooh and aaaah over Boreanaz in his shorts or Brennan doing a John Wayne impersonation minutes (in TV world time) after not understanding why the father of her baby is interested at all in the babys genitalia.. Mindy Gledhill. Erased. People who disagree have a right to post as well. Ive been through the five stages of grief on season 6 and Im experiencing it all over again. It was like Hannah never existed. Last year it was almost non-existent and I dont feel it this season as well. It is as though each episode is written as lets make Brennan clueless and dense for the majority of the episode, but so people wont be mad with us lets throw in a nice scene at the end. After all, we both speak Science, and that's all that's important in here, right? Brennan understands almost everything the story has always been what she chooses to do with that information. Does it really make sense to anyone that Brennan would not invite Booth to an ultrasound of their baby? The two got into a fight, because Tina was apparently eating and then hurling. and Booth screaming at her? I know all this is new to Brennan, but Booths feelings about family arent. And I was prepared to hate him, but I didnt. I did not. JASPER- I watched a few of your videos this weekend. Bones Season 7 Episode 2 Promo/Preview "The Hot Dog in the Competition". No robots allowed. Go to TV by the Numbers for what turns out to be accurate predictions year after year. watching her do this made season 6 brennan such a waste. Hart still has time to once again correct what is wrong with the show. Just dont put down other people because of their views. Minority not mirority. is empathetic and has shown it in myriad ways (how about giving your profits from your best sellers to rebuild a town?) Since when? Finn answers no and that all he did was threaten his abusive stepfather with death shortly before he skipped town. His record has been officially expunged, she explains. November 12th, 2011 1:20 pm, andrea on With a ratings of 2.7/7 that WILL happen this season if the writing doesnt hit the mark in the next four episodes. Ti Ph Printing l n v hng u v dch v cung cp my in vn phng, mc my in. A friendly, welcoming place for rabid, casual and somewhere-in-between fans of the Fox television show Bones. Review for Season 7 Episode 2 The Hotdog In The Competition. I mean.Hannah slept on the same mattress as Bones, but then again,,,,,,,,so did Cam, Rebecca. I agree Caroline that Michaela looked very uncomfortable. I will point fingers now and continually til this turns around or the show gets canceled. It can me implied in a script, but actors have to give the look, deliver the line, charm the other. Keeping Booth out of the loop with doctor appointments and financial advisor appointments is not that surprising and I think that is fitting for her character the whole independence thing. November 11th, 2011 12:15 am, gina on Meanwhile, Angela is pleased (and grossed out) to find that within the crushed up hot dog bits in Tinas mouth, there is also a sliver of human tissue. I agree with the majority here that the dance went on too long, the moment was missed, and the Bones Curse will be talked about in a couple of years when it comes to .Castle. The accent on the new intern was a bit much but I like the overall storyline with him, and especially his last scene with Brennan. I dont know WTF the writers are doing to Brennans character and how she interacts with Booth. well..enough of this I am not going to write the damn episodes for them. Watch Bones Season 7 Episode 2 Online. The remarkable work of new squint Finn helps solve the crime. Im sure well see something more of this in the future (I would HOPE), but I also would have liked to see Booth injecting excitement about this gender news with Brennan much like they got excited about treehouses. Brennan kept bringing up sex and I thought that was just silly. It was her who had the problem and needed to change. 2.7 / 7 ratings. And if HH were a man like Booth and some uppity woman tried to lead him around on a string, well, hed show her what-for, yessirree. love a Mr.Spock or want to spent the rest of his life with her. I think Brennan still has a lot of her imperviousness left to lose. I am not a fan of Finn and his After all, we both speak science, and thats all thats important in here, right? hick-esque pearls of wisdom. And it doesn't seem to bother anybody else here how I talk. It was a highly disappointing episode to me and left me really underwhelmed and that is saying A LOT for me, who usually finds quite a bit in an episode to truly enjoy. Then there was the death of VNM, quite possibly the most beloved of the squinterns. It seems that the creative minds of Bones are now focusing on The Finder. I am older so I cannot even my husband or son speaking to a woman like that. I have to agree with you, Gina. I love the show obviously and the character of Brennan will forever be my favorite, so its very bothersome when they sloppily write her character as learning empathy for the first time. Because clearly, from viewing that video, the man has problems. Seemed like a waste. I guess if you've never spoken to or heard someone from the South, the dialog and dialect reminiscent of early 20th century Hollywood southern characters might pass for something other than a cartoon. The Jeffersonian team identifies the remains of a competitive-eating champion, just days before the start of the Gluttony Games, a premiere eating competition with a $10,000 prize at stake. Turns out the python in the victim's ribcage may have devoured some evidence. I dont care for the dynamics between the characters so far this season. But the very idea of empathy is to recognize and feel with others despite Brennans own priorities. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. I dont know whats more annoying the pregnancy craving stereotype or the fact that Booth keeps implying that shes a pig. Back at the Jeffersonian, Camille welcomes Finn to the lab. He soon reveals his wife was a world-class competitive eater. November 11th, 2011 5:20 pm, TinkonBrink on I loved Finn. What happened to the steep learning curve. EVEN IF IT WAS based out of a need for her to have some independence, this is not how it was written. The Hot Dog in the Competition (2011) Goofs. He has the ratings to boast about. And worse, clueless regarding Booth, a man she has known and worked with for nearly a decade, a man she loves and is going to have a child with. They interrogate Tinas husband, who lets them know that Tina was a professional eater. Just as many people were shocked when the series took that direction without them even being in a relationship, I think she is starting to feel that. It's a female, like Bones's unborn baby, she explains. November 11th, 2011 4:13 pm, alison tabor on The fight turned physical. It would be tough to play with emoting the sexual tension out of a script daily when your personal life was being outed. I HATE it when Angela tells her, why bother?. But overall, I still really loved the ep. EVER. 21+. Maybe this is reflected as to how he wrote Brennan last season for rejecting Booth. LOVED Brennan in the scenes where she shared music with the fetus and interacted with Finn. I know I am in the minority because I know all of the shippers out there are just so happy about the end scene that they overlook everything else. Paw Patrol Skye, Chase & the Pups In Training Game Dog Bones - Learning Colors Videos For Kids. Only problem was, she existed enough for Booth to propose to her. Gordon Gordon Jump to: Continuity (2) | Factual errors (1) | Incorrectly regarded as goofs (1) Continuity . Girl, boy, sack of potatoes, shrug, whatever. Thats when I decided to leave and take BONES off of my TiVo. I am in agreement with many other here and on the internet- there is a small window of opportunity for the writing to turn around. I actually really liked him. Booth never explained anything during the season and HH felt like he did not have to explain anything to the fans. Thoughts from you? As for Brennan, its just a classic case of Brennan. Well Sarah, you pretty much said every single thing I was thinking as I watched the episode!! Not the way that I wanted to. IMO David Boreanaz saved the embarassing moment for HH, and he is damn lucky he did. He questions why he would kill Tina. Starring: David Boreanaz, John Francis Daley, Tamara Taylor, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne Summary: A competitive eating champion's body is found shortly before the next major competition. It seems the writers think they need to regress the character in order to show character growth, but it wasnt necessary at all, and it would have been a great episode if say Brennan had invited him to the ultrasound and is happy about how happy he is about coming and then at the end show them at the doctors office learning they were having a baby girl. It was fair at best and I find myself wondering who picked these story lines out as the lead off for season seven. Listen to every song from S7E2 - Bones, "The Hot Dog In The Competition", with scene descriptions. but the Submit your music. I think its the show thats missinglacking Hannah, I daresay, just because Id like to see some sort of REACTION from these characters, because I have no idea who these pod people are. Even Brennan would be showing some sort of hope and joy about the future of this child. I thought Caroline asked some very pertinent questions. Brennans moment with Finn even demonstrated that she has empathy she knew where he was coming from (and I didnt mind that her questions were direct) I mean, I dont think anyone else would have asked those specific questions. Now would it have killed the writers to just give a wonderful sweet moment between BB going for an ultrasound and finding out the gender of their baby? I finished watching it on DVR last night and to echo others here; it was very painful. I didnt get that part eighter. When Bones and Cam are looking at Tina's pelvic bones, Bones measures the distance between and uses that as the basis for Tina's pregnancy. Thats all I have to say. Ill stick with Caslte. However, every single episode like this one makes me more and more apathetic toward to show and its future. The old Booth would have laid into her, Im sorry. At the rate this is going, if this weirdness and awkwardness continues on this way, if I ever rewatch the series Im going to pretend that The Beginning in the End is the end of the series and that Booth & Brennan ran off to their respective ends of the earth never to see each other again. It was a good episode I suppose, but I didnt enjoy it nearly as much as the premiere. Why have Caroline in this episode only for that reason? Next Episode . NOT fully but shes not available to him 100%. The same woman who knows that Booth loves brown sugar on everything and pays so close attention that she notices that he walks up the stairs with a different foot and holds his coffee mug in a different hand would know that hed wanna be there for the ultrasound. Nope not going through that again. DB is either not feeling the scenes or is trying to hard. But let me try Brennan isnt thoughtless. Again- the relationship can be explored in depth and in an adult way with the Bones and Booth we have learned about and watched grow over six seasons. Caroline only had scenes with Cam. I actually watched this one because hubby did not want to watch Greys. Did it make me laugh? They arent perfect people- as we know. Add time. With all this talk about the potential tension to be had between them on the religion vs science front, Im not comforted that it will get betterpossibly ever. Mr.Spock. However, I completely agree with you on the whole not liking how he affected the other characters thing and the scenes with him in it were heavy-handed. Things like mediocrity and wasted opportunities. One fun scene is when Brian Tobin calls Sweets scrawny and says hed rather be interrogated by the pregnant chick. Booth advises him not to go there, and Sweets explains that Booth is the father of said pregnant chicks baby. For all the weirdness and heartache that was Season 6, I DID see one thing worth a crap visible growth in Brennan. November 13th, 2011 11:19 am, eridapo on B&Bs relationship can work if you do it right. If people are still happy with the show and still get enjoyment out of watching BonesIm just gonna say my bit and let them watch & be happy. Brennan apologizes and tries to make things right, yet people cant seem to get over all of the bad things she has done. The Cases and The Desturbing. 4.0 / 5.0. List was born in Florida and began her career as a model at the age of two appearing in national print ads. All in all Im loving the new season, That was a really interesting take on what I really thought was a great episode. Being a huge fan of their relationship, I was hoping for more intimacy and I feel like Brennan has gone back to season 1. So I'm getting the feeling you're doing it just to make me feel bad 'cause I'm different than you. I felt more honest love and affection between Hodgins and that python than I have between B&B this season. HH took away that spark completely last season, has decided that noone needed to see them connect (and I dont mean sexually because they never had a conversation about Hannah or them getting together other than that stupid burning of dates). I think sometimes there are scenes that never make it to the final cut that may make things appear more fluid, I wonder if that happened here. Like when Booth was driving her and she realized basically that shed missed her chance, and she wept. I did not mind Finn, actually, I thought he was kinda cute. Thanks for the honest review!! Sorry for the BONES history lesson, but in the wake of this weeks episode, I cant help feeling like that growth is nowhere to be found. U/A 16+. The case and the addition of Finn (I adore that squintern!) But still is one of my favorite shows! The negative reaction from critics and fans was overwhelming and ratings suffered. ), but if Brennan realized all of those things about Booth at this stage in their relationship, earning herself an experiment successful! pat on the head well, that is a shame, because those are things she already knew and she knows so much more. Stunt people mats ,etc plus she used her hands not her bump and or fell so it was all safe. Fortunately only six episodes have been shot due to EDs maternity leave. Many times in the episode, the new intern Finn Abernathy calls Hodgins "Thurston," while Hodgins calls him "Opie." Ill take that. After all, they created them, you think they could write them true to character. Oh God, thank you! It was S1 Hodgins. She then asks if he indeed murdered his stepfather. Finn answers that it did. Brennans scene with Finn when he came back and she put on an accent to match his and told him there aint no second chances. That was cute. She can only be awkward, yet endearing *to use a Sweets phrase* for so long before it becomes annoying. If the shows writers are representing Brennen as a person with Aspergers disorder, then they are spot on. dont. them. I dont think its fair to judge Brennan in the same way as Booth. Didnt he tell her that he needed to be involved in their childs life, etc. @Sunny An eyeopener of a video eh? November 13th, 2011 6:08 pm, Olivia on Al of the others are just so enthused by the coupling of Brennan and Booth. Post Nov 13, 2011 #1 2011-11-13T23:31. The excuse of she (Brennan ) is learning is tired and no longer works.. Dont get why you hate him. I dont know about you, but Booth sitting five feet away from Brennan and poking her belly with one finger was just heart-melting. Angela seems to be preaching to Brennan. I meant that to be directed at you.again. Yes. I feel his pain. Yeah, really. Cam spent most of the episode waffling between doing what she felt was right for Finn and taking Carolines advice. The Lab Results: When Tinas body is moved to the lab, it begins to expand and the missing python comes out from within the abdominal region. The hat, the hair, the accent, is all so trite. Match Paw Patrol Pups to Dog Bones. Thats a good point, Gina. I am not judging DB here, no hate meant toward him, all I am saying is that there were some very stressful times for them both in the last two years. These first two episodes just seem to have left out scenes and they just dont connect well. Why are they writing her in this way? I liked how Cam stood up for Finn, got peeved with her asking Angela to research him, and liked the end with the cap. Makes me wonder what the powers that be were really thinking when they set out to do this episode. Yet Booth just acts the fool.. no affection or tenderness from the Yet Booth does mean things and acts like an ass and all is forgiven? would put up with Brennan. I think this played out in the first episode and it did in this one as well. In my view, to be a fan of anything does not mean positive comments 24/7. And its definitely something she had is spades, for Booth and for victims, before the show decided to turn her into RoboBones for comedic effect. I love the Office and even after marriage and children, Jim and Pam have always had that spark. Honestly, I think you are one of the only honest critics of the show. Whats the motivation there? Does Booth ever go to the lab or do any scenes with anyone other than Brennan and Sweets? . November 11th, 2011 6:41 pm, Sarah Maria ( UK) on I realize this is a fairly silly show, but come on. All of the angst and heartbreak of last season and we end up with an even more clueless Brennan. Whether its paying for a funeral for someone less fortunate, anonymously donating money toward Wendells scholarship, taking care of Baby Andy, or revealing metaphorical scars on the back with Sweets, she has displayed time and time again that while she might not say the right thing, her heart is mostly in the right place. When it comes to Brennans character, the writers missed the mark with this one. Cam recommends killing the python, but Hodgins insists that he have time to figure out a way to beat the snakes metabolism rate and get the rat (and phalangeal bone) out without killing it. And yes the empathy thing? Oh, and the scene where Brennan pushed the guy really bugged me. I think he is going to be a great addition to the team, and I look forward to more of him. What are you missing? to be. November 17th, 2011 6:58 am, Callie on
