Better Bones each week

[catalyst2]

Just watched Bones s2e2 Mother and Child in the Bay - the story was well written and the interactions between all the characters was good - and showing Cam in a different and rather more sympathetic light was unexpected. David Boreanaz (who, I have to say, I have never been that impressed with as an actor) gets better every time, giving an increasingly comlex and 3-D portrayal of Booth. Emily Deschanel is allowing Brennan to show increasing moments of vulnerability and emotion without simply dissolving into some type of weird emo pseudo-mortician. I can't give it a 10/10 because, as electrcspacegrl said, there is no over-riding arc - it is still too episodic for me but I have to say that's almost the only reason I don't!

I can honestly say I wasn't really a David Boreanaz fan before, I always found his portrayla of all the characters I've seen rather dull but Bones has really turned me around. I can't think a better actor for the role.

100% agreement from me on that. Bones was the lowest on my list of things to see with BtVS alumni in (yes, I have lists for everything!) and I wasn't too impressed early on but it has got better (and David Boreanaz has transformed out of sight) as it has gone on. I just wish they would put in some bigger, longer story. As short as it was, even the 2-parter about Brennan's parents was a welcome relief from the purely episodic format. I like my season-long arcs!
