Bones stuff
Jan. 23rd, 2009 07:57 pmHeh. I've been looking forward to "Double Trouble in the Panhandle" since I saw spoilers on LJ, and it was certainly amusing, at least once I waved goodbye to dignity. (I cringed a lot during the "rocking the trailer" scene.)
Although my goodness, the logical fallacies abounded. They didn't, you know, rehearse the act before peforming it in front of an audience? Oh, these two fail so hard at being undercover. And are so amusing while doing so. :D
(Also, I'm going to guess someone on the staff was a fan of Carnivale? Granted, this didn't have the religious aspect, but there were definitely dirty freaks in the desert associated with a really crap carnival/circus.)
I still like Mr. Nigel Murray--finally, someone who shares my penchant for finding obscure trivia and trotting it out at inappropriate moments--but I do wish they'd just pick someone already.

I think I would've mostly liked "Fire in the Ice" if I hadn't been so distracted by the BLATANT UNBELIEVABILITY of Booth working the freaking case WHEN HE WAS A SUSPECT. *headdesk* I know reality doesn't really mesh with this show, but...seriously? This is as ridiculous as that interview in the Vomit Comet.
I did like Agent Perotta, though. She was, you know, competent, and also funny.
Didn't like that the case ended so quickly. The guy just confesses...that's it? Hmmm.
I'm with Brennan on not understanding anything about hockey. I assume the guy in Booth's dream is famous?

*ba-dum-CHING*
Where were you hiding that drumset??
Poor Boreanaz has come so far since his Buffy days, though!
Brennan's not-Canadian-not-Southern-just-weird accent was pretty awful as well.
AWFUL.
I did like the "well, calling them Canadian will excuse all sorts of weird" approach...
(Did enjoy him picking up the blood samples on the ice and NO ONE NOTICING.)
ICE NINJA!
I don't know! She should've been! Grrrrrrr.
Remember back in the day when Caroline jumped down Hodgins's throat for touching evidence when he was a suspect? Sigh.
Maybe he's a dead guy?
Dunno, I got a "wheeee there's totally a famous hockey dude on our set!!!" vibe.
-you know if either of them wanders off, they'll just end up back together eventually.
Heh, yes. But I sense drama on that front approaching...
For all their faults, the producers are at least not going to disappoint on that respect.
They are not quite that dumb, at least. Hooray?

Where were you hiding that drumset??
In my TARDIS-like pocket.

E for Effort?

Well, it always does...

Alas.
Dunno, I got a "wheeee there's totally a famous hockey dude on our set!!!" vibe.
But luckily
Heh, yes. But I sense drama on that front approaching...
I actually really liked Perotta, so I would be okay with that.

Woo.

In my TARDIS-like pocket.
It has more cymbals on the inside than the outside?
E for Effort?
E+!
But luckily [info]vallentine is here to set us straight. :)
So helpful!

She was indeed decent.
