“BONES”

The premiere episode of the Fox show, “The Bones on the Blue Line,” airs Thursday, April 1 at 8pm on Fox. It starts off with a bang when 60,000 gallons of flood water throws a subway train off the track. You can see a skeletonized body pass by a window which is shocking. Dr. Sweets (John Francis Daley) is a passenger on the now derailed train and has to deal with PTSD throughout the rest of the show which is not at all surprising after all that he has seen during the derailment. The rest of the team works on identifying the victim. During all this, Brennan (Emily Deschanel) has just released her second book which is extremely successful as are all of her other books. But she has a reporter (Seiko Matsuda) accompanying her everyplace she goes as she’s doing a piece on Brennan and wants to see just what she does. She's always there when Brennan and Booth (David Boreanaz) are working on the case. However, the reporter seems to be more interested in the sexy passages in the book. Now come on, who wouldn’t be? Wouldn’t you rather read about a steamy sex scene than some forensic gobbledygook? I know I would. But through all the distractions, Bones and Booth and their team solve the case. They always do and it’s so much fun to watch. I’m glad they’ll be back, and I’m still wondering if they’ll ever end up in bed together . . . and not just in a dream or a coma.

The show’s milestone 100th episode, “The Parts in the Sum of the Whole,” which is directed by the series star David Boreanaz, airs on Thursday, April 8 at 8pm on Fox. This episode takes you back 6 years as Brennan and Booth tell Dr. Sweets about the first case they ever worked together. Sweets is finishing his book on the partnership of Brennan and Booth and they want to get everything straight before it goes to print. They tell of how FBI Agent Booth sought help from Brennan and her team of scientists in solving a difficult case. This was the first time they all had met, and the group shared many experiences together throughout the duration of the case. Booth and Brennan came out as a very formidable couple who worked well together and also fought well together – with each other. This is a very good episode which I think everyone will like. I know I did.
