Remember when he finally told her his reasons for wanting to live together-that he wanted to provide a home for their child and not be like his father? I doubt well ever know for sure, but considering HHs public rage when Booth is [rightly] criticized for being a jerk to Brennan, I tend to think hes always been a member of the He-Man Woman Haters club and Dr. Brennan is right where he always intended her to bedefeated and humiliated for daring to be a subversive role model for young women. November 11th, 2011 8:20 am, ProfeJMarie (Janet Rundquist) on The accent on the new intern was a bit much but I like the overall storyline with him, and especially his last scene with Brennan. I think Ive already mentioned enough of these, so I wont add more. She is best known for starring in the Fox crime procedural comedy-drama series Bones as Dr. Temperance Brennan since 2005. I cringed at the scene with her at the competition as well as the driving scene. Youre right what in the world? Sorry the whole B & B conflict was just so silly in this episode. November 14th, 2011 2:05 pm, Caroline on Emily Deschanel - IMDb Bones has gone completely nuts, and now seems like she has a mental health problem. Well Sarah, you pretty much said every single thing I was thinking as I watched the episode!! Being a fan of a tv show does not mean you have to praise the show all the time. Site Map | About GMMR | Contact Us | Comment and Privacy Policy (Please Read) | Copyright 2010-2011 Sarah Curtis- I apologize for not telling you in my first post The end scene was charming. Brennan isnt that dumb. The excuse of she (Brennan ) is learning is tired and no longer works.. now to Booth the father of her baby. He has the ratings to boast about. It felt very fake and forced. Bones 7x02 Promo "The Hot Dog in the Competition" (HD) Others can tell. LOVED Brennan in the scenes where she shared music with the fetus and interacted with Finn. For the first time in six years of watching Bones, I turned the TV to another channel. But I do agree, and you point out a lot of backwards steps in the evolution of Brennan. After all, we both speak Science, and that's all that's important in here, right? Thats exactly how I fell. Brennan knows Booth like the back of her hand and I am not seeing any of this displayed in season 7. It is nothing to sneeze at. I am not saying that to flinging mental health lightly. Look how she was with Finn and how she was in that scene with the music and putting the ear plugs to her belly. Maybe the new villian will add something positive to the show and pull the characters together. A sure fire rating killer, eh? I hate when Hart Hanson had the resources and capability to give me a pure golden storybut he chose to give me the cheap copper version insteadand then tell me that I should be thankful for it. Just a super-annoying one. She is so much more talented than this and her character is too rich for just this unnecessary role that she played. I finished watching it on DVR last night and to echo others here; it was very painful. Bones Episode 7.02 The Hot Dog in the Competition Episode Premiere Nov 10, 2011 Genre Drama, Crime Production Company Far Field, Josephson Ent., 20th Century Fox TV Official Site. The bones are laid out on the table after . Im not ready to write the show off or anything, but Im also not ready to declare it the best season ever. Snake coming out of the body? Enough said. But let me try November 11th, 2011 3:50 am, JaneDoe on 11:52. Again- Either have B&B act like adults in love that made a baby, or ..(cover your eyes, ye faint of heart who thinks you have seen the best yet of Bones) kill the kid off, let that be a hurtful angst angle and let these two try to find each other agian. Ugh yes agreed on about everything. The two got into a fight, because Tina was apparently eating and then hurling. It was lovely of her to get a dvd of the ultra-sound for Booth, but I couldnt help thinking how much better it would have been if he had been invited to see it first hand so she wouldnt have to apologize yet again. Again, I ask, who was the Brennan in this episode, Who is this woman. At the ruined apartment, Bones and Booth examine the body. Many did not understand Booths thought process and I could not understand HHs thought process in what he did to the characters last season. Andall of this is necessary for Brennan to learn empathy? Maybe that is what made me crazy about all of this each person in this episode seemed negatively affected by Finns presence, whether hes a good person or not. Agree with you all the way, Sarah. Wow this episode just seems to have the majority disliking it. Sure, Brennan has made some mistakes in the past (and I think her not privately telling Booth about the gender of their baby is another one), but if there is one thing she has had, its empathy. The problem I think is that HH is just too warped up in creating conflict between BB rather than to just let them be. Hopefully before the show ends I can say that it got its spark back. I feel like I have been waiting years to say that . I didnt think his scenes were forced. TinkonBrink- If you are the person that posted the videos on YouTube for Bones in years past, THANK YOU, they were freaking fantastic !!!!! Does ED and DB think that a plot arc about Hodgelas baby possibly being blind was more intersting then them even being pregnant right now?? I would have rather have seen an extension of the diner conversation where Booth starts to talk about wanting to be a part of everything bring back the whole family thing because she would totally get that and make the connection immediately. Angela told her she was right, and Brennan understood. Mitch is arrested. hehe. They have to figure out who would want Tina dead and how she died. Empathy. Booth then interviews the head of the competitive eating league, Mitch, who explains Tina had a big contest scheduled that week, one that could have netted her $10,000. i was disappointed to see brennan act that way towards booth in this episode, when in season 6, she seemed to be attuned to booths feelings. These names are references to Opie Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show, and Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island. I think this played out in the first episode and it did in this one as well. I was an avid Bones fan but Season Six killed the show for me. Brennan re-examines Tina's skeleton; Finn returns to the lab . I dont care for the dynamics between the characters so far this season. (Go watch his response to andrea on u-tube video Paley center 2011.) ****The Sweets and Booth partnership Their connection just falls flat to me now. I agree its hard to watch Brennen have to work to understand Booth on this level, but it is a true representation. i dont like her comment, a meeting with the financial advisor is practical, also you have no money.. and the putting herself in booths shoes?? The writing is much whittier and the leads have much more chemistry. It was a coma episode for Brennan, I am sorry, but I now view that episode as never, never even played out for the characters. That is so beyond lame even for Brennan that I cant even form words. At this rate, Brennan will be pre-season one soon. Thank you so much for writing these reviews. We need to see that Brennan has grown as a character. Bones comes along because she is determined to see the world through Booth's eyes. Honestly, I began to feel that chemistry dwindling since season 5. Its like they start out with a perfectly acceptable piece of pastry. Only that both the character of Booth and that HH were mad. This episode had me constantly confused by the message and the characters. What I hoped more than anything is that DB and ED would speak up, that after getting out of bed, driving to a studio set for six years, playing the same characters, that they would have more than a slight interest or understanding of Booth and Bones, about where they would be after learning she got pregnant during the first time they were together (SNs words not mine- they are all executive producers- dont they all talk once in a while??). He has to face hard questions about his past and morality but soon bonds with initially hostile Hodges. And so contradictory to everything else. Brennans moment with Finn even demonstrated that she has empathy she knew where he was coming from (and I didnt mind that her questions were direct) I mean, I dont think anyone else would have asked those specific questions. Next Episode . November 11th, 2011 3:04 pm, Fitzgibbon on From his lines being slightly over the top for the conversation (probably not phrasing that right, am searching for the right words) to his hand movements in one of the interviews. For me, the brennan learns a lesson scenes are not only not necessary, but condescending to her. I guess if you've never spoken to or heard someone from the South, the dialog and dialect reminiscent of early 20th century Hollywood southern characters might pass for something other than a cartoon. She was an outright a##hole, plain and simple. Let me get this straight; she slept next to him (maybe with him as in sex, why not, we can dream because we are never going to get confirmation with SN writing or approving scripts for this show), then she got up and went to a Doctors Appointment and had a sonogram. November 11th, 2011 2:09 pm, Osteon on But then again, I now miss the show called Bones that I used to watch 3, 4, 5 years ago. The case? It was fair at best and I find myself wondering who picked these story lines out as the lead off for season seven. Again- the relationship can be explored in depth and in an adult way with the Bones and Booth we have learned about and watched grow over six seasons. The case is that of a female eating competitions champion, whose corpse is being eaten from the Dixie ex-con Finn Abernathy, a genius, joins the team and impresses even Bones. The Jeffersonian team identifies the remains of a competitive-eating champion, just days before the start of the Gluttony Games, a premiere eating competition with a $10,000 prize at stake. The show is so full of walking cliches. FORUMS. Thats all I have to say. I used to make the Bones vids. What bothers me now is that I used to be the fan that posted very passionately about this show- the character traits, the plot lines, the discovery of family secrets and the bonds formed because of them. She then asks if he indeed murdered his stepfather. Watch Bones: S7 E2 The Hot Dog in the Competition on DIRECTV So funny. What are you doing? I guess maybe Brennan reads while Booth watches sports.

Its so true!! what i did after watching the episode was to watch season 6 episodes again. I like the actors on the show so I dvr and watch later but sometimes I just turn off the episode. Hey, BONES fans. What a big mistake since Greys was great IMO. Many times in the episode, the new intern Finn Abernathy calls Hodgins "Thurston," while Hodgins calls him "Opie." I dont feel as badly about this episode as with Feet on the Beach, but both had the exact same problem when it came to Brennan and empathy. Crime. Knock her down a few notches, humiliate her, make her apologize for every tiny infraction, force her to endure condescending lectures from asshole friends who also happen to be a Frat Boys Wet Dream, turn her into a trivial doormat who cant talk back to her man without fear of him rejecting her, write her man being constantly disgusted and/or impatient with her..

November 11th, 2011 6:41 pm, Sarah Maria ( UK) on The interactions with B&B feel forced and strained still. Cam spent most of the episode waffling between doing what she felt was right for Finn and taking Carolines advice. But I liked the new intern. P.s Why would the writers have a pregnant Brennan (Emily) take the guy down its a show. Lifes experience tell those of us who are a bit older (Clearing my throat..) that the ex comes up, is compared to and if she took my sunglasses- argggggghhhhh. Season 6 was terrible for me personally and I really lost interest. 2. Later, Hodgins openly makes fun of Finn's dialect. :)). I actually watched this one because hubby did not want to watch Greys. Only problem was, she existed enough for Booth to propose to her. Now I am just Ehh if I see the show or not. Minority not mirority. Bones charges the big man and tackles him, because she is still walking in Booth's aggressive shoes. Is this really the best they have got? Bones - The Hot Dog in the Competition - TheTVDB.com You know, it make one wonder if we are getty crappy episodes because it pisses HH off that the fans tell him and his script writers that they have blown it with the characters. Finn Abernathy: [to Hodgins] Excuse me, sir. As far Im concerned, things havent felt the same since. And worse, clueless regarding Booth, a man she has known and worked with for nearly a decade, a man she loves and is going to have a child with. It was a good episode I suppose, but I didnt enjoy it nearly as much as the premiere. A genuine trailer trash representative would have sounded, if not smart, at least southern. tunefind Whether its paying for a funeral for someone less fortunate, anonymously donating money toward Wendells scholarship, taking care of Baby Andy, or revealing metaphorical scars on the back with Sweets, she has displayed time and time again that while she might not say the right thing, her heart is mostly in the right place.

You're eight days late with the rent. what redeemed me from this is that in the end, despite what brennan did/say, booth was fine with it. Since when? I am not judging DB here, no hate meant toward him, all I am saying is that there were some very stressful times for them both in the last two years. November 13th, 2011 6:08 pm, Olivia on In the interest of keeping this review scientifically clean language wise Ill just say this: that is some serious equine fecal matter! These characters arent perfect. Anchor. As for Brennan, its just a classic case of Brennan. I personally am not seeing that at all. EVEN IF IT WAS based out of a need for her to have some independence, this is not how it was written. I agree that Brennan has stepped back a couple of seasons and its annoying to watch! I love that they gave him a backstory already. F. Cam gives Finn a Jeffersonian hat. Angela then IDs the victim based on facial reconstruction: Tina Thomas. @ Caroline and You see, when life happens, I think a person cant help but have some of that seep into their job. Most would agree crossed. We now have Opie and Thurston although Finns extreme Southern euphemisms were kind of wearing on me. So her character development this season so far has not been great. With all this talk about the potential tension to be had between them on the religion vs science front, Im not comforted that it will get betterpossibly ever. I had no clue who the characters were on Bones, I dont know that I care to watch that show that was on Thursday night. Sweets suggests she might have been a prostitute with an overly aggressive client. November 11th, 2011 6:42 am, ProfeJMarie (Janet Rundquist) on Brennans reply was, Why didnt you just tell me before. When Brennan, Booth and Hodgins work the scene, Brennan states that the victim is female, early 30s, and she suffered lacerations after being thrown through a terrarium in the apartment (complete with rats used for snake food) resulting in a fatal laceration when her vertebrae was punctured. NOTHING is ever wiped from your FEDERAL record. Post Nov 13, 2011 #1 2011-11-13T23:31. Yeah, it was a bad episode. LOVED him. When Brennan became pregnant, I felt that B&B were in NO way emotionally stable enough in their relationship to even consider having a child together. And it doesn't seem to bother anybody else here how I talk. (This week could be excused because of Greys). I am just saying that the time lines for personal change and stress exactly match with the filming and the dismal results of seasons five and six. Because clearly, from viewing that video, the man has problems. November 12th, 2011 1:22 am, Fred is My Homegirl on Um, isnt this the same woman who initially wouldnt hire Zack because of his appearance? It was a highly disappointing episode to me and left me really underwhelmed and that is saying A LOT for me, who usually finds quite a bit in an episode to truly enjoy. Again- inconsistancies are killing this show. Last season they had her pining for Booth and realizing her mistake and all of a sudden she is clueless again. And what happened to her emotional growth over the last 6 years? Plus, there was a case. Whatever But if I were so upset and annoyed with the way a show was progressing, I would no longer watch it whether or not I was a long-time fan! Instead, we got mad, impervious and a date-burning ceremony. I feel like their scenes are all forced and just dont flow. Turns out the python in the victim's ribcage may have devoured some evidence. They have skipped so much of the relationship and we are supposed to believe that they have been together for about six months, living together and in love and they have Brennan acting so silly. Which then led me to feel really, really confused (and annoyed). November 19th, 2011 10:43 am, Julia on And I agree with what others have said previously that if every episode is going to involve Brennan making a faux pas regarding the baby and/or Booth requiring her to make an apology every episode, thats going to get old really quickly. Booth & Brennan have given rise to a new form of show killerThe Bones Curse This curse is the antithesis of the Moonlighting Curse. Do they understand that the father just found out about the sex of the baby at the same time as Hodgins and the police officer at the scene- who doesnt even know them. It felt so occ. Bones is officailly on the Bubble- in US TV language they have a good chance of not being renewed next year. I know all this is new to Brennan, but Booths feelings about family arent.

And I dont care how special the make-up moments are, at some point, they arent worth it if the fight it took to get B&B there is completely off-base. Booth's jaw drops. There are many more examples, and not all relate to Booth (who, the more Brennans character is written unlike her true self, is written unlike his true self). I really enjoyed the episode. He has to face hard questions about his past and morality but soon bonds with initially hostile Hodges. Gordon Gordon It was another lesson for Brennan to learn. Bones then produces a DVD of the ultrasound and they watch it together. IF the Hannah hate turned a season around, then show us these two are a normal couple, and are in love.

Register Sign In. Question: Why would the writers have a pregnant Brennan (and Emily Deschanel) run with all of her might and tackle a suspect to the ground to prove she can see things through Booths point of view? Ive been through the five stages of grief on season 6 and Im experiencing it all over again. 21+. And Booth doesnt flip out on her about it? She can only be awkward, yet endearing *to use a Sweets phrase* for so long before it becomes annoying. . Just as many people were shocked when the series took that direction without them even being in a relationship, I think she is starting to feel that. The Interrogation Room: Sweets and Booth do most of the interrogating in this episode, and when Booth questions Tinas husband, he lawyers up. JASPER- I watched a few of your videos this weekend. Thats not asserting her independence or hiding behind a mask of indifference to keep out pain! I really liked Finn, I think he has great potential and Im sure theyll be great lab geek pals with Hodgins. Brennan (Ive never earned a B in my life!) He has to face hard questions about his past and morality but soon bonds with initially hostile Hodges. DB and ED did that for the first 4 and 1/2 seasons- then, something happened. Just saying.

My GI Joe doll, My show, My script approval..dont like it, f off. a lil harsh at some points, but you did make a good point about Brennan already having empathy for Booth. But maybe thats just me being paranoid People with Aspergers disorder can master empathy in certain areas, but when the paradigm shifts, like transitioning from a work relationship to a personal relationship, then they continue to have difficulty developing empathy in those new situations. Brennan is that clinical and cold regarding about rationalizing why she didnt consider asking Booth to go to the ultrasound? Instead we have these contrite story lines where all that has gone down in the previous seasons is just forgotten. Manage all your favorite fandoms in one place! I know I am in the minority because I know all of the shippers out there are just so happy about the end scene that they overlook everything else. I am older so I cannot even my husband or son speaking to a woman like that. Potential Suspects and Motives: The apartment lease is under Gerald Sedlicks name, but he has no details on Tina. This is especially true for Hodgins, who immediately resented Finns fishing-hole approach. Did you like Brennan trying to walk around in Booths shoes? At the competitive eating contest, Booth is very excited. Its just all the criticisms about the Brain & Heart imbalance that people were complaining about in massive droves last year but that the reviewer didnt really acknowledge before things got this extreme. Really? I am going to open a big can of whoop a**$$ here, but I will make this short. He has to face hard questions about his past and morality but soon bonds with initially hostile Hodges. Brennan IS literal, but this putting herself in Booths shoes stuff was seriously LITERAL. I know, right), you think shed invite Booth along for the ultrasound, regardless if he prefers Tom Cruise to Rudolph Valentino.
