Bones

Unfortunatly, Bones has been shafted by the Emmy awards…again. The show ended up with one nomination this year:

Congrats to these lucky nominees, but I’m a little upset that there were no acting nominations. This year there were some great guest stars and awesome acting by the regulars. Maybe next year. In the mean time, great news: Bones has been renewed for at least the next 2 seasons! So at least 2 more years of chances for Emmy nominations for Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz. Try to make it the next month or so before the premiere watching reruns on TNT and FOX.

If you still haven’t caught last week’s episode: SPOILER ALERT! Stop reading now and head to Hulu to check it out. For all of you in the know, what do you think? I caught up on Thursday nights episode on Friday while babysitting and I was so shocked. Seriously, the tension between Booth and Brennen is at an all-time high and according to the previews for next week, it will finally be resolved! But are you concerned with the direction of the show once “the act” occurs? Well Entertainment Weekly discussed that with Bones and Booth this week. I’m still a little unsure of what will actually happen and how much of the previews are simply a tease. But I didn’t see the twist in last week’s episode so, who knows. Was anyone else thrown off by Booth’s sudden brain tumor? Seemed a little rushed to me and maybe a little disconnected from the plot but it did lead to some great Booth & Bones convos.

Enjoy your week and try to keep from thinking about what MIGHT happen on Thursday night!

So the premiere just ended and I have to say that it was good to have Bones back. Here’s my recap/opinion for Hour 1. I broke it down by hour because there was a natural end to the 1st before the second. Hour 2 will be up later tonight or early tomorrow depending on how quickly I write the paper I have to.

HOUR 1

Angela, Hodgins, and Graysen

Whoa. Angela’s husband is hot! He is charming, attractive, sensitive, and every other redeeming quality. But, he isn’t Hodgins! When Angela first kissed him, I kept waiting for her to wake up but she never did. Quite a hello/goodbye kiss. If I were Hodgins, I’d feel a little insecure about it. But, it did end happily after he finally agreed to the divorce. But, I feel like this won’t be the end of his invasion of Angela & Hodgins’ life.

Bones, Booth, and their British Twins

The dynamic between these four is amazing. Booth and Bones find a pair that supposedly are their British counterparts, but Ian and Pritch don’t even seem to like each other that much. Love gone bad? . Will Bones and Booth realize that they have something “special”? Booth actually tells Bones that she is “special”! How awesome is that? And decided not to sleep with Ian because of Booth. Not that we haven’t seen these feelings before, but it’s good to see them again! Any kind of progress is good progress in the case of Booth & Bones.

TO BE CONTINUED…

The amazing Searching Bones has an article that quotes “Watch With Kristin” concerning the future of the Hodgens/Angela/Birimbau (aka Angela’s husband). Apparently in season 4, Sean Blakemore will be playing this role. Check out the article.

Searching Bones has a great interview that was published in Men’s Fitness. It’s short but sweet. Enjoy!

So I know how we are all kind of upset about Zack being discovered as Gormogon’s apprentice. On a neat website called Searching Bones, there’s some info that you might find interesting, including an interview with Bones creator Hart Hanson. It’s a great interview that provides some interesting insight into Bones. There’s also a letter from Eric Millegan (Zack) that provides some interesting stories about how he discovered his storyline and the fate of Zack. The final piece of information is a recent article written by Bones fan, Jamie Frevele, titled “In Defense of Hart Hanson”, which is a defense for the decision to include this HUGH plot twist in the show and how the fans are reacting. Enjoy!
