    Bones Season 6

    Returns tonight(and Fringe after :D).

    Hopefully this season focuses on the cases more than S5 did.

    Solid premiere. I liked the character development. Though, I wonder if this means Wendell is coming back full time. They made it seem like a one shot gig but all of the other interns sounded 'occupied'. The Jeopardy mention was hilarious.

    Decent story, though the missing kid case's resolution was way too obvious. It was still satisfying to see Booth tackle his ass at the end. The story on the other kid was pretty heartbreaking though.

    I wasn't all that excited about the premiere but last night totally brought me back on board.

    Really? I think the cases are the worst part by far, and only serve as a vehicle for the dialogue and personal development.

    This.

    Only reason I have watched this show since season one is the characters, I dont give a crap about the cases, they are just the reason the characters are there.

    Im looking forward to episode 2.

    I agree the characters are the best part of the show but I think the best character episodes were driven by the cases they were working on.

    I like the cases that have meaning. Like the ice road trucker...

    Oh wait, I meant the bury you person w/e her name was.

    I agree though, the cases are almost completely pointless.

    Every major plot line in this show that involved the cases has been so wrapped up so shittily. Chase the Gravedigger for fucking seasons, then boom, she's caught, the end. I don't know if Kathy Reichs writes the dialogue or not, but I damn sure wish she would stop writing about the cases. The way she rights about the science of it all puts it on such a pedestal.

    If the series had done the gravedigger in a 4-5 episode stint it would have been 10000x more enjoyable. Bones reminds me of the old cartoons that never linked one episode to the next. I wish it was linear instead of bouncing off the wall.

    Um... the show is pretty linear outside of the random one-shot 'past' or 'dream' episodes that happen maybe twice a season.

    Outside of each season finale and each season beginning some of the episodes can just seem outright random.

    Yeah the show definitely drops into the surreal a lot more than most procedurals. Like the episode where the ghost helped Booth escape the ship.

    What is this?

    They're going to introduce a character in December with the intent of giving this new character his own spinoff?

    I don't understand that one bit.

    I love Bones, but between the absurd Toyota product placement and the fact that the science is really starting to stretch in some of these episodes is getting to me.

    The worst part is when they come back from commercials and pan up from the Toyota logo when they're driving. I always think it is another commercial.

    As for the spinoff I don't really care. If it's interesting I'll watch and if not oh well. I just hope they don't do any crossover gimmicks.

    The thing that I've always found funny is the FBI vehicle being a Toyota.... when we sure as hell know it would be a Chevy or Ford D;

    Great episode.

    I loved Caroline in this one.

    The resolution at the end seemed a bit rushed but I suppose they can bring him back for an episode or two later.

    So, yesterday was the backdoor pilot for the Bones spin-off.

    I'm "hmm" about it. The British lady's character needs adjustment, bit too annoying. But aside from his catch phrase, the lead and MCD are pretty enjoyable to watch.

    And they did, and he'll be back again. Arnold Vosloo needs more work, he does great characters, I was sad they killed him off in NCIS.

    The only thing I could think about during that episode was "Why the fuck are they showing me the pilot for another show?".
