    If I Could Talk to the Animals

    This is a show about the death of a man who we might call a "Mythbuster." He has a show where he embarrasses people who believe in things that are far fetched: like beasts that have never been seen. His methods are simple. Put up a video camera and hang out through the night and prove how ridiculous things are. The bad thing for him is that he ticked off a lot of people with his show. One was a guy who lost his show. But it was more than that. There was a trickle down effect at work. I once again find Booth's actions rather coarse and sort of stupid. I don't think he convinced Brennan of anything. He made a claim and she checked it out. She hurt the big boy's feelings by doubting him.

    Love "The Truth in the Myth"!

    I absolutely love this episode, "The Truth in the Myth." The episode is different from other episodes and Bones and has more of a comedic element to it, which can probably be explained by the fact John Francis Daley (Sweets) wrote this episode, which is another reason that I love it!

      Vincent Nigel-Murray says he may go blind if he drank the ethyl alcohol from the bottle he is holding. Actually, it is methyl alcohol that causes blindness if ingested, not ethyl alcohol, which is drinkable.

      Vincent Nigel-Murray: And you found a goat tethered to a state.

      Dr. Jack Hodgins: Chupacabra means goat sucker.

      Dr. Camille Saroyan: So for cause of death, you want me to put down - goat sucker?
