2AKY10
While investigating the death of a film student who was working on a documentary about the legend of a headless witch, who haunted woods in the 1700's, Brennan develops a strong bond with the victim's brother.
Booth and Brennan talk about mixing work and personal lives.
Another good episode hide show
In this episode of Bones, the following happens. Bones and Booth investigate a body which is found in the woods. The body is identified as male and the ID is soon made. We soon learn that the victim was a film maker, and while watching back the footage Cam goes to gold Booth's hand, and Bones on seeing this realises that they are a couple. Even more so when he holds her hand back. The look on Bones's face is truly heartbreaking. Later that same day whilst out in the car, Bones lets Booth know that she knows about him and Cam. We also see Bones starting to date another man in this episode, perhaps because she thinks that Booth no longer wants to be with her (which is so not true). We also see Angela and Hodgins becoming closer in this episode and acting much more like a couple. Then Booth realises who the killer is, and it turns out to be the brother, we Bones is currently on a date with. He soon confesses to everything, which upsets Bones and she walks away as he is being arrested. Can't poor Bones get a break, first she is buried alive, and then Booth starts dating someone else and now this. As the episode ends, we see Bones in her office, and Booth goes to see her. They talk and end the episode with a hug.
Too much Blair Witch Project, which I always thought was stupid anyway. hide show
Clever use of an old legend to cover a murder. The witch story has been done before by many series but this was good, great way to freak people out so they don't want to go into the woods, let alone look too deeply into a murder.
The video supposedly made by the victim is ridiculous – it's straight out of Blair Witch Project and who films *themselves* when they're being attacked? This proves that Graham himself set up the props.
The brother being the killer makes a lot of sense – his brother's only been dead for a year and he's so calm when he talks about it, flirting with Brennan while talking about his brother's murder?!
Interesting episode, would have liked some more detail about the 'witch' and her story.
Third rip off in the second season and we're not even close to being scared. Honestly... hide show
First off: I do like Bones. Love it even. But after seeing this episode I have to admit my frustration. This ep is the third based soley on a rip off.
First being the one with the two wives (as seen on CSI LV) and the second one with the immunity business (as seen on CSI Miami) and now we have the Blair Witch Project.
Let alone the fact that the last episode ended with "He is still out there" and today nobody even mentiones that Brennan and Hodgins almost died...
I HATED BWP because it was sooo stupid. I do not believe in Ghosts, Witches or the likes and therefor I was not scared by the screaming and the shaky footage. In fact that made me sick.
So when they ripped off this mediocre attempt at suspense I expected Brennan to react stronger to her coworkers jumping to supernatural conclusions. Especially Zach was OC here.
When Cam takes Booth's Hand because she is scared (To her it is real, this boy really did die, so I could accept her fear) that was a touching moment. BUT Angela later rewatching the footage with the Music (Metal btw is not the ideal choice when looking for comfort) turned on so loud, she can't here a word... Why doesn't she just turn off the sound? If she knows the sequence of events by heart, why would she need the sound? Why is she so scared she needs to sleep at Hodgins'? Hold his hand? This is just so! cliché: the poor girl needs to be comforted by the strong man... After all these eps where the writers established Camille, Brennan and Angela as strong it just feels odd. Sure it's a shock but come on, after seeing the BWP 30 times would you find it scary? (If you ever did)
The investigation is non-sense as there practically is none. A boy disappears and all they could come up with was a legend? The Ranger walks through the woods every day but it takes Brennan to find the "Talismans" in the Trees, where they are still intact after a year? But worst of all was the Temperance / Dark Handsome Murderous Prince storyline. Seriously?! We never saw her on a date before. The last time she tried, someone tried to shoot her. Than that guy reappears in the Season 1 Finale only to disappear without being mentioned ever again. What became of him? Did she have a connection with him? Since when does she talk openly about "losing" her parents to absolute strangers in the middle of an investigation? Miss Follow the Rules, No-Nonsense is going on a date with a complete stranger because his parents died when he was young... right... Completely out of character!
Let's hope for better news next week.
it was so blair's witsh project it was really really good, scary but funny,bones finally meets some one that could understand her but of course something went wrong and booth was ther for her,u would never guees who was the murderer hide show
lv this episode. it was kinda scary exiting ,there was good chemistry but what disapointed me that booth kept saying to bones that she is his partner and i hated (the two guys) thing that was booth discription about his relationchip with bones while bones asked booth the reason why he didnt told her about him and kam but true friendship was shown when booth was there 4 brenen while shewas devistated when she knew that the guy she likes is the killer! ,other than that this episode was fantastic and they did a good job in making it like"blaire's witch project"
but the best part was how they ended the case by showing that anjela and hudgens found in the tape what it could be the witsh's ghost!!!!!!!!
As a parody of "The Blair Witch Project," the episode does very well, but when considered amongst all episodes of the series then "The Headless Witch in the Woods" is definitely filler. hide show
Clearly the writers weren't set out to conjure a pivotal episode as much as a parody of the famous "Blair Witch." As such, the episode does very well, even bringing in one of the actors of the nightmare inducing film, but at the same time it feels like a waste of time for fans who want to see more. The episode is sort of cathartic for people who have watched the film and found themselves haunted by it (persons like myself). The reason being is because it treads familiar ground whilst presenting what if scenarios, such was: "What if the doomed threesome orchestrated their deaths to a certain degree?" Its ethereal finale is meant to not be taken seriously, so its inclusion is a decent serving of mockery.
Though the episode is filler, best digested after getting your hands on the Season 2 box-set, it is followed by two very pivotal episodes, which allows the audience to more easily forgive the writers for this one.
