Aliens in a Spaceship

The story begins with Hodgins and Brennan buried in a car. He is badly injured and she is shaken and they don't know where they are. It turns out there is a blackmailer called the Gravedigger who buries people, asks for a ransom, and if he gets the money, he gives their location. This is just a wonderfully paced rescue story that keeps us guessing all the way. It helps to cement relationships among the gang as Hodgins and Brennan do everything within their power, and the power of science, to stay alive until they can be rescued. I suppose the Gravedigger will resurface, so to speak, in some future episode.

One of the top 5 episodes of Bones

Great storyline - great character development

Just perfect. I love the entire gravedigger arc - this is just the beginning. Also brennan and hodgins friendship is super sweet.

I just had to come over here and review this ep for the pod! We meet the next serial killer sequence on the show, "The Gravedigger" when Brennan and Booth discover two corpses of young brothers who we learn were buried alive. One of the things I enjoyed was that when Brennan was kidnapped, Hodgins interrupts in the same way the Kent brother's kidnapping was interrupted by the brother. So, as the case progresses, there's this juxtaposition between the two that I thought was well done. But also done where Brennan and Hodgin's case takes the front and center and it's one of the few we have that follows victims that are still alive.

Having Brennan and Hodgins in one location for most of the ep really gave way for Emily and TJ's strong and compelling acting skills to shine through (huge shout out to these two!). They both did a phenomenal job with making us believe they were in that car running out of time. The desperation was there and I felt it along with them. Cried when they cried and breathed a sigh of relief towards the end. It also gave us an opportunity to learn more about the Brennan/Booth and Hodgins/Angela relationships. We learn just how much Booth cares for his partner and we get a glimpse of just how crazy he gets when something happens to Brennan, I'm just here for it!

I could literally write a ten page essay about this episode but the emotional stakes were there, the tension running high, how much this team cares for each other and the glimpse into the found family trope that Bones is known for. All in all, great ep, loved it so much!!!

This episode is breathtaking. The storyline, the rapport between the characters (especially Brennan and Hodgins which we don't typically get to see solo), the way all the characters came together and evolved just in this one epiapde.... definitely one of the best in all 12 seasons.

This episode had me quaking in my boots from the very beginning.

It's such a dramatic episode and the timing is perfect!

The tension between the team within the episode really sets the pace and urgency of the plot, but as usual, is a very enjoyable watch! This also sets up a fantastic story line throughout the continuing seasons of bones, that continues to come back to haunt the team!
