I understand that the writers want to keep the show from crossing over into TOO much sticky-sweetness, but they need to also recognize that good moments and revelations can just be nice and dont have to be sources of tension for B&B. The Victim: Tina "Python" Thomas a professional competitive eater who could dislocate her jaw and swallow food like a python. Brennan isnt thoughtless. In my view, to be a fan of anything does not mean positive comments 24/7. I enjoyed the episode. anyone get the feeling Brennan still keeps Booth at a distance. Dixie ex-con Finn Abernathy, a genius, joins the team and impresses even Bones. These negative opinions are pretty annoying. I feel his pain. 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. November 11th, 2011 12:42 am, eridapo on I mean.Hannah slept on the same mattress as Bones, but then again,,,,,,,,so did Cam, Rebecca. read. Im sorry Gina, but after six years we need to see something more. They are just as flawed as the rest of us, and holding them up on this pedestal doesnt help. I cannot understand how a man with any class would speak to someone like that and that fans think he is so wonderful. b. Andall of this is necessary for Brennan to learn empathy? JASPER- I watched a few of your videos this weekend. Ugh. November 11th, 2011 11:58 am, samnickmike on Summary: A competitive eating champion's body is found shortly before the next major competition. WE REALLY LOVE BONES! I read in anther blog from a woman who said what man would put I liked the scenes with Caroline and Cam. 2.7 / 7 ratings. 1. November 11th, 2011 9:39 pm, Anna on Does Booth ever go to the lab or do any scenes with anyone other than Brennan and Sweets? He was my second highlight. I enjoyed the episode. +1800 456 789. who played tina the python'' thomas on bones. Waste of Patricia Belchers time for this episode. They arent perfect people- as we know. I am also one in the minority who liked The Finder so we will see. I think that life events spilled into DBs ability to make chemistry happen with ED in the roles we all came to love. As the diehard fan I am this makes me sad. Yes, I know that Emily was pregnant, but there were plenty of verbal (and fully-clothed) things that could have been scripted to capture the beauty and magnitude of that moment. I dont know whats more annoying the pregnancy craving stereotype or the fact that Booth keeps implying that shes a pig. And yes, I was eating hotdogs while watching the episode! WEPT. Actor: The Good Lord Bird. 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. Her claim to fame is that she can eat 65 hot dogs in one sitting, and she once "shoved down a 12 inch wiener." But as the case goes on, the team finds out that Tina was looking to bail on a high profile sponsorship. BONES Recap: 'The Hot Dog in the Competition' - Give Me My Remote I wonder how long this is going to last? Even like. November 11th, 2011 2:41 pm, Mary on She was an outright a##hole, plain and simple. Again, I expected Booth to lay into her more, but in a thats my kid in there kind of caveman way that (the old) Booth resorts to while Brennan calls him out on it. up with now being told about a OBGYN appointment and the sex of their I know you hate that, she told him. Hodgins and Abernathy will later start a business, on the side, together under the name Opie & Thurston. Being a fangirl who would rate or state the episode was a 9 out of 10 and the crime was great and Booth and Brennan are spot on..are out of touch with what this show was at its best. After a military plane crash near a small American town, a giant man-eating snake sets off on a killing spree. The central couple resolved their unresolved sexual tension, satisfied their biological urges, reproduced and played house. Tom Thon. Everyone enjoys the pie making process and wonders what itll be like once the pie come out of the oven? Sorry for the rant. 1.555.555.555 | balboa productions net worth. Angela seems to be preaching to Brennan. Why is he offering up additional, non-relevent info about a colleague up to a suspect? It kind of explains Booth last season and how he was written. And it doesn't seem to bother anybody else here how I talk. Cam spent most of the episode waffling between doing what she felt was right for Finn and taking Carolines advice. So, yes, I hate. Sarah Curtis your review has really f***ed me right off! Probably not. The show is so full of walking cliches. Its not like her to be judgmental, and her sanctity of the lab speech toward Cam feltwrong. Im disappointed because I know that Bones can do and has done episodes that arent, and Id say a good proportion of Bones episodes are deep. Finn would work out, the dialog with Hodgins is fun and they would have some great experiments toghether. Booth was angry and left Brennan one option. Again, the case was good and I like the other squints but would really like to see the whole cast interacting again. I realize he wants tension between them but tonight was just silly IMO. It means to be able to discuss the show and delve into it, no matter where it leads you. Did you like Brennan trying to walk around in Booths shoes? 1. During lunch at the diner, Booth tells Brennan that Tina's stage name was Tina "The Python" Thomas. THANK YOU, thank you for being honest, and.not working for fox. I cant argue with a friend on another Bones site that says the six episodes will be followed by a show killing four month break. I think its the show thats missinglacking OMG- this was *&%^$#! Brennan didnt invite Booth along because he only likes movies in color. The only nice scene was the new intern talking about Bones old paper, but the rest of the episode overshadowed that one moment. November 12th, 2011 9:45 am, Rachel on Again, I ask, who was the Brennan in this episode, Who is this woman. Just. Is this really the best they have got? Everything just seems really fragmented and the characters jut split up. My Verdict: Im not a fan of hot dog eating competitions, so this case was a squeamish no for me all around. and may i just mention her comment when she and booth was in the diner, discussing about the financial advisor? Yeah but I loved him. Bones lost 1.5 million viewers from the first episode to this episode. Will she ever be up to date with social cues or pop culture? How can anyone love this female version of Heh I was totally on the other end of the spectrum. Yes, some things can be left to the imagination if you care to, but for me I really want to know why a character does something. But I know thats just my opinion. Why? Im still somewhere in between, and I want to hear from you. So to have him not get all that upset that Brennan doesnt ask him to the ultrasound doesnt jive with me. to be. November 13th, 2011 2:26 pm, Jasper on She may be gone, but to forget her impact on a six-year relationship so as not to even discuss her is ridiculous!. Brennan is including her daughter in her work but earlier says she would not care if she had not been told the sex. that at the end of it all, booth was still happy. It just seems like they write Brennan more for humor or make her character just be so dense to cause tension and drama. I really expected much more from that end scene. I meanIm not saying I didnt laugh a few times (for example, when she was driving one handed! Since they are cohabitating (and obviously not having sex because Booth seems repulsed by her), you would think pillow talk would run along the lines of, What are you doing tomorrow? I have an ultrasound, then Im going to work. Did they really expect us to like this, to quote you Sarah equine fecal matter.. DB and ED did that for the first 4 and 1/2 seasons- then, something happened. who played tina the python'' thomas on bones. 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. It seems the writers think they need to regress the character in order to show character growth, but it wasnt necessary at all, and it would have been a great episode if say Brennan had invited him to the ultrasound and is happy about how happy he is about coming and then at the end show them at the doctors office learning they were having a baby girl. No. I thought Caroline asked some very pertinent questions. Probably why the character of Brennan was written the way she was as well. Since the 100 the show has been the recipient of a lot of criticism and deservedly so. Seriously Andrea, nobody cares if negative opinions annoy you. No matter how much he may love her most men would be gone. well, i was happy for them too.. i just feel bad for booth. I dont know about you, but Booth sitting five feet away from Brennan and poking her belly with one finger was just heart-melting. Not really. And Booth doesnt flip out on her about it? Also have to echo everyone from way back last season who said the show destroyed the rational + heartfelt balance in favor of Bones is heartless and needs to learn lessons about life through Booth without any kind of balance from people learning through Bones point of view. The film concerns a genetically engineered . over the last 6 years. After all the heartache that shes seen Booth go through with Rebecca and Parker (Parker, who? 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. As I said, have them working the case and throw in the shipper scene at the end. When that Brennan bowling down the suspect scene happened I just scratched my head and was like, what the heck!? People who disagree have a right to post as well. Yeah. Hodgens is all attitude. Think of the effort that went in to it all , think of the writers the actors and the time they spent to make a episode, the story line was weldone and I bet Finn is going to be loved if he is a regular which he most probably will be. Just in case you ever apply for a job with themSince the Jeffersonian works with the FBI and testifies along with them, youd think theyd hold themself to the same standards, for the exact reasons that Caroline stated credibility in court. I felt more honest love and affection between Hodgins and that python than I have between B&B this season. Because you are right. 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). ProfeJMarie basically said everything that I felt about the episode. Bones Episode 7.02 The Hot Dog in the Competition NOTHING is ever wiped from your FEDERAL record. Only problem was, she existed enough for Booth to propose to her. The UV lights provide the same function for snakes as they do for us humans - catalyzing the formation of Vitamin D3 for bone and calcium metabolism. No robots allowed. Just dont put down other people because of their views. 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. Quite a display of his temper and his thought process.bottom line for him is: November 11th, 2011 5:23 am, Lisa on So her character development this season so far has not been great. Thanks for sharing. it has completely tainted my view of him. Max What happened to the steep learning curve. She views the world differently and has always acted differently. I would rather see them not officially be a couple and be in love than whatever the heck is happening so far this season. Ill take that. You can rest assured I will not be making any more! This season the criticism is once again pointing out the shows failings. With a ratings of 2.7/7 that WILL happen this season if the writing doesnt hit the mark in the next four episodes. I feel like I have been waiting years to say that . ****The Sweets and Booth partnership Im tired of people who claim that those with negative comments arent real FANS. Ugh yes agreed on about everything. But this new Booth, well, he didnt even really have a reaction to finding out he was having a girl anyway. Wow well, wow Michaela Conlin looked extremely uncomfortable. They are going to make a pie. It can me implied in a script, but actors have to give the look, deliver the line, charm the other. Makes me wonder what the powers that be were really thinking when they set out to do this episode. In the series premiere, she told Booth she wanted to help him with his cosmic balance sheet. Years later, on a Halloween night, Booth shot and killed their suspect, and she said she was sorry he had to do that. FOX advertised this episode with To diffuse the tension between them, the couple agrees to experiment by putting themselves in each others shoes. I was intrigued by that possibility, but as we saw, there was no each others happening there. It does not matter if you throw sugar all over the top and put a cherry on for garnish (marriage and a baby)the process was far too protracted ruining what had the potential to be perfect. Not a Booth hater, but would really like to see some balance in the show. Ill stick with Caslte. Enough said. The case is that of a female eating competitions champion, whose corpse is being eaten from the inside by a live snake. This is the same guy who has held a bitter grudge against Walter Sherman for 9 years because he came to arrest Booth for going AWOL when Parker was born. What happened is that HH thinks that as long as B & B are together, that is what the shippers care about. I never thought Id think that Booth seemed happier with Hannah last year than he does with Brennan this year, but I do. The ca Dixie ex-con Finn Abernathy, a genius, joins the team and impresses even Bones. I used to make the Bones vids. One step forward five steps back. The Scene of the Crime: When a landlady breaks in to one of her tenants apartment for past-due rent, she discovers that the place is trashed. Cant they discuss the case like they did in the past. Posted by ; words for deep love in other languages; There is more at stake now than when they were just doing the whole partners things. It was like Hannah never existed. Finn Abernathy rolls off the tongue. Then the pastry is folded, squashed back together to form a ball and the rolling out begins againfold, squash, ballroll outand rolland roll and roll until cracks start appearing and the pastry is getting a little thin in places. The plot involves a woman who enters eating contests professionally. A. Im still not convinced that Booth and Brennan are in love. Stunt people mats ,etc plus she used her hands not her bump and or fell so it was all safe. However, every single episode like this one makes me more and more apathetic toward to show and its future. For once I would love if BB were shown to be a regular couple in love doing regular things just like everyone else. Sarah CurtisI dont think you are missing anything. Brennans scene with Finn when he came back and she put on an accent to match his and told him there aint no second chances. That was cute. They had a chemistry between them that was totally undeniable- they had to in real life have that chemistry, because that is often how selections are made in hollywood for leads in shows. November 13th, 2011 11:43 pm, mugee007 on EVEN IF IT WAS based out of a need for her to have some independence, this is not how it was written. The writing is much whittier and the leads have much more chemistry. with me to the OBGYN. More than ever the cases are being solved in the last three minutes of the show. 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. But the very idea of empathy is to recognize and feel with others despite Brennans own priorities. But just because we speak different don't mean we can't understand each other. I think we should all remember that this is a tv show. Sad to say really . This is not worth it. November 11th, 2011 2:07 pm, Tina on After Ron Patterson, Tinas stiffest competition, wins the competition she was slated to win, he has motive. Yes, I will keep DVRing but I think I will actually go back to the Office and watch Bones at another time (In January go back to Greys anyway). Im tired of Brennan not knowing. 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?? I really get a chuckle out of the creators saying that the B & B relationship is so organic this season. I read a pre-cap of this episode yesterday and the person said they enjoyed this episode more than the premiere. Yes, when I saw that video it really changed my opinion of him. Starring: David Boreanaz, John Francis Daley, Tamara Taylor, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne. ED met someone and married, and started a family immediately- a sign that she was ready to move into a new area of her life???? now to Booth the father of her baby. I agree with you Sarah, the writers need to keep the tension between B&B by resorting to the same tire arguments of seasons past ruins any good scene later in the episode. Gotta say I found the episode disappointing. It gets harder to watch her each week, and it gets harder to watch each week having her learn a lesson so she can be worthy of Booth. He has to face hard questions about his past and morality but soon bonds with initially hostile Hodges. But his acuity is marvelous--rattling off physiology with a vengeance. eegyvudluk pootoogook / stacey and dave forsey net worth / who played tina the python'' thomas on bones. February 18th, 2012 3:35 pm. and Booth screaming at her? But overall, I still really loved the ep. I cringed at the scene with her at the competition as well as the driving scene. Go to TV by the Numbers for what turns out to be accurate predictions year after year. The writers seem to forget that this is season 7.what do you think happened in seasons 1-6 because theres history with Booth and Brennan!
