The Mastodon in the Room

Hi Bones Booth pod!

This is my first time leaving a review for an episode but I've finally caught up on the podcast eps to do it!

Anyway jumping into the ep! I absolutely love that we get to see where the gang are during their time away and how each of them are going. Brennan talking about how she's only scared of snakes when Booth is around to be jumped on is pure gold!

Caroline calling everyone back, and then actually coming, is very telling on how far her relationship with the team has come!

The reunion between B&B is wonderful but also a little heartbreaking to see Brennan's face when Booth tells her he met someone. I always get this impression she wants to tell him how much she missed him and thought about them being together whilst she was away (or maybe I've read one too many fan fictions that have that happen 😂)

Anyway the case is a tough one, as all cases with young kids are, but it's nice the team are able to solve it and ultimately decide to come back and stay in DC and get the band back together again!

Bones' excitement over the Hodgela baby is great and overall this is a good ep to kick off season 6! As with basically every Bones ep I give this a 10/10!

I look forward to hearing what you guys think and for your thoughts on the season ahead! Bring on season 6!

There needed to be a way of getting the gang back together. We are given a view of what each is doing since leaving and a task of getting Cam out of the crosshairs of the politicians. There is a pivotal case which is being used against her and she is forced to work on it all by herself (with some occasional incompetent help). It is totally contrived but each principle needs to look at his or her life and weigh it against what they are doing. The reasons are quite diverse and work. The strained romance is still there for Brennan and Booth, so we have not been given anything in that department. I look forward to them looking forward.

Hi bones booth!

The case itself was actually better this week vs past few.

I love the whole entire linchpin concept and how they all think it's them - I do personally think it's bones more than Caroline but I love her in this episode so much!!!!!!!(love when bones goes to hug her) Also love our classic b&b car scene discussing if the teams back!

Also love when booth references "take him down like a flea" at the end and bones has the cutest smallest reaction to him using the right reference! And also yayyyyy who doesn't love a pregnancy. Also "we've worked around bigger" love that last scene!

Welcome to season 6 Bones Booth!

The reunion episode!

I love how the episode starts by showing clips of where everyone is, it feels like the reunion of a superhero group. Coming together from all corners of the world, just trying to be...normal? As normal as they can be for superheroes. Bones the Forensic Anthropologist already sounds like a superhero name to me.

The way Caroline gets Sweets back, I die EVERY time.

I dont think it is fair for Cam to blame the Jeffersonian falliny apart all on Bones though, she has every right to do something she wants to do with her career. Take a break from all the death. That part always bothered me.

Caroline and Booths relationship is gold. Anytime they are paired together I love it. Or maybe I just love Caroline in all scenes and we get so much of her in this one!

The linchpin concept is great, but its gotta be Bones, right? It's adorable how everyone kinda thinks its them though. I'm curious who you guys would consider the linchpin of The Bones Booth.

I am glad there was a happy ending where the kid was alive this episode. I think Bones needed a happier win on her first case back.

Overall, great episode to start the season.
