I, um, liked it? A lot? I liked that they tried to explore Brennan's character in a new way (tried, at least), and I loved the cracked-out wedding. It was just not even pretending to be the standard schmooze, and I appreciated that.
I did not appreciate the manipulation. ZOMG the killer is JUST LIKE MOMMY!!1!eleventy!!1!!! Ugh.
I had a little sympathy. She was seriously, seriously messed up, but... there was a little sympathy. Enough to not burn her kid's artwork in front of her, at least.
I disliked that the sympathy came from the situation with Brennan's mom. Feh.
I like how in the commentary they tried to pretend that Brennan and that actor playing her mother looked anything at all alike? I mean... they were white? And of a similar build and hair color? But facially, nopers.
There was commentary? Huh. Missed that.
But they'd mentioned that marriage before! In S1 somewhere! I remember it! Continuity, people! Appreciate it now, because it'll whisk away again before you know it!
Heh. True, true.
But it was just SO random that it was hilarious!
Noooo, it was annoying!
Her dad is, for no good reason, Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top! And Hodgins is in love with him! Cute!
...I had to look up who he was in the IMDB credits. I fail at pop culture.
Okay, I'm with you there.
*shudders*
And they should stop putting Brennan in teeter-tottery heels, because she looks SO awkward and uncomfortable and unattractive. They do nothing for her at all.
Yes. Also, she is FIVE FOOT NINE. She doesn't need heels like Scully needed heels, you know? She can be in the same shot as Booth without apple crates!
Cam almost managed it, but... no.
There was some fail all over that wedding.
Um, have you met Angela? If anybody's gonna be all, "I know! Arwen with sequins!1!", it'd be her. *facepalm*
She would've chose something weird, but surely not that weird.
The ending seemed to have abandoned dignity for camp, but...
I miss dignity. :(
hey, it was pretty amusing. And a nice break from "I murdered my sick kid with my AIDS meds."
You are going to enjoy S3. (I enjoyed S3, for that matter.) They haven't exactly given up on being a procedural, but it's definitely on the back burner to the jokes and the sarcasm and the camp. Less campy than this, though, which is good for my blood pressure.
