Hi all
I really needed something to cheer me up 'cos I'm still laid up with a virus, this definitely did the trick; I've acually liked all of S5 so far so I'm a happy 'Bones' fan.
The down side was there wasn't much of TJ and from a certain point of view maybe too much of the chicken footage. That's actually not my point of view, nothing could be more difficult to watch than the footage I got off Farm Sanctuary where chicks were getting sorted for sex off a conveyor belt (I'm not gonna go any further 'cos it was just horrific). However, I have seen some comments about people not liking the footage and I get that.
The bits I absolutely loved were:
The kids who found the body, lots of mini Brennan's, scary thought. It was so funny that Brennan went from hero to zero in the space of a couple of minutes.
Sweets talk with Brennan about the argument with Angela, he was completely, absolutely, totally right you can't always save the world but you can make those that matter to you happy. I've been there with one of my friends, too complicated to go in to detail but I believed then and still believe I was right just realised that it really didn't matter that much. There was a huge row (mostly me yelling I have to say) and the distance lasted a week, it was horrible, that whole stomach churning thing. In the end it wasn't worth losing the friendship over so I held out an olive branch, sometimes you just gotta give a little (and in the case of Brennan/Angela that pig was really cute).
Booth reaching out to Brennan in the diner, literally, goosebumps time. More goosebumps at the end, didn't you just wanna give Booth a hug, like I don't normally, but even more so with him struggling to get back to normal.
I'm in two minds about the Angela/Wendell thing, I think its sweet but you can really see the prospect for major storm clouds on the horizon. Oh and I didn't totally agree with Sweets about the pig saving being brought on by the celibacy kick I think Angela would have been that caught up with it all anyway, its how she is, I would be exactly the same way.
It was interesting to see Emily playing Brennan with her beliefs being so different to Emily's own and it was interesting to see there were no close up live chickens about, the evil side of me would have quite liked to see DB's reaction.
One last thing I saw a comment from someone saying Angela was back to being a slut, I fail to see how a single woman enjoying a healthy sex life (especially after the celibacy thing) could be descibed as a slut (I'm betting the same wouldn't be said of any of the male characters) Ok I'm getting off my soapbox now, and its only a TV show after all.
Anyway suffice to say I really liked this epi I liked the storyline although I had virtually zero sympathy for the victim who seemed like a self centred, arrogant, sexist factory farmer. I loved the continuing character interaction too not sure about Angela/Wendell but it should be kinda interesting to see where it goes.
Anyway, they're my thoughts, catch you later
