Mildly humorous episode

6.5

By sherriesim, Jan 25, 2014

Mildly humorous episode, spoiled by Brennan and Booth behaving like they have a combined IQ of zero and Angela feeling sorry for herself because she has a good job with no time to stay at home drawing pictures.

Loved the corpse

8.5

By tanargue, Apr 27, 2013

One of the light hearted episodes of Bones, full of daft moments - especially Brennan dancing, and yet another of Hodgin's experiments. They should produce a dvd extra of all the experiments which go wrong. ! !

Best moment ? When the janitor came into the basement to find B&B kissing. The look on that guy's face was priceless.

this episode would have been better if Brennan could actually dance. At least it ended good.

The most romantic chapter Bones. Besides fun. Weakest the case.

oh good boy

7.0

By CristinaAlber, Jan 18, 2013

I watched this episode after the following one because I didn't see that there were two episodes airing on the 14th. The following episode lacks completely of chemistry between B&B, like almost all the rest of the season. So here I was surprised by a very sweet ending but weird too, because all the dancing thing that BOnes tried to do was bad, why was it scripted like that? The Angela thing was sweet, but is there a hint that she is leaving the show? I think I am sick of watching episode where BOnes' character has changed and all the dynamic and direction of the show. With mixed feelings but for sure disappointment and resignation I rate a seven.moreless

- Bones refers to "primitive" tribes in this episode, but anthropologists avoid using the term "primitive" because of its derogatory implications. One would think that she would know this as one of the leading members of the field.

  Cam: Oh, God, I think we need to have a long discussion on the subject.
