For all those that have yet to
watch Friday night’s episode of Bones,
entitled ‘The Mystery in the Meat’, now is your last chance to do so without
spoilers before reading ahead. This is not a spoiler free blog. THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!
You’ve been warned.
While the dumping ground for where
the body was found this week was intriguing, the boasted about bachelorette
party “episode” was rather lackluster, despite the brawl between our series
regulars and the biker women. The way this episode had been written about, I
expected most of the episode would be about the bachelorette party, and not
just five minutes spent in what was supposed to be a rodeo bar.
Elsewhere, I was happy to see two
squinterns in the episode, even though the way they did this makes me feel like
they’re trying to build up to Daisy and the new guy dating. A little too cliché
if you ask me. Although, while the newbie is rather abrasive and tries to claim
every idea, I do find his ability to get under most of the staffs skin funny to
watch, so the guy is growing on me.
Also, they seemed to resolve the
whole Angela-Booth situation this week. Was it just me, or does the acting in
this series seem to be over-the-top now more than ever and not natural in the
least? As I watched that scene, it didn’t appear as if the characters had known
each other as long as they have, and it just didn’t seem to click. Maybe that’s
one of my issues with this show; it’s lost its naturalness, ever since the end
of season six. Before I used to be able to watch emotion, drama, and humour all
nicely wrapped together, and now I’m not feeling most of that on a regular
basis. It really is time to end it.
Okay, well overall this episode
was alright. It was very surficial and light. There wasn’t much depth to it,
except for in fleeting moments. It’s almost like this series is merely grasping
at straws; not even the actors are putting their entire selves into it, and the
writing has just gotten bleak. I love this series first six seasons a great
deal, and then there were some great moments and brief story arcs after that,
but for the most part it’s time to put this series to bed. The move to Friday
marks that possibility; I just hope we’ll get some sense of finality when it
does end.
My rating: 6.5 out of 10.
Best Lines:
“It’s fine with Cam.” – Angela tells Brennan. “It is?” – Cam
asks.
“I can’t believe this! We’re homies!” – Daisy delights.
“I dislike almost everyone. I dislike you and I don’t even
know you.” – Agatha Blume remarks.
“Don’t be nice to me, it’s weird.” – Daisy complains. “Just
deal with it.” – Oliver replies.
Okay, more apologies for not posting this yesterday as I had
hoped. Again, Friday and Saturday nights I always get home around 2:30, so I
only get four hours to myself. I did watch this yesterday; I just didn’t have
time to review it, so here it is. Both Once
Upon A Time and Revenge are not
airing new episodes this week, so check back in tomorrow night for my reviews
of How I Met Your Mother, Almost Human, Sleepy Hollow, and The
Blacklist. See you all then.
