After a thus far mediocre season, I was beginning to lose faith in Bones. However, this episode reminded me why I watch and love this show: The writers have created characters that I love so much that I find myself completely terrified when they are in danger. The writers proved that they can still create a sense of jeopardy when they want to.
I loved watching Hodgins unravel, seeing Booth in his sniper/FBI mode again, and feeling the terror of a truly scary villain. Pelant is my 2nd favorite Bones villain, after only the Gravedigger of course.
I think that the other reviewers are being way too harsh. There were only a couple of things at the end of this episode that made me raise my eyebrows because they were slightly unbelievable, but come one people. At the end of the day, this is television. A little bit of unbelievability for the sake of the plot is perfectly acceptable.
I enjoyed every minute of this episode and despite what other viewers say, if you are a fan of this series and love the characters, I am sure you will enjoy it too.

I agree that this was not an episode of Bones. It felt like the Bones characters were the guests as the Finder cast and plots were clearly in focus. Another reviewer phrased it well by saying the episode was Booth-free and Bones-lite.
Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable hour of television. Though whoever was playing Walter's acting left something to be desired, I was intrigued by Walter and Ike's characters. It was also an entertaining plot. This did its job by getting me interested in the new series, especially since I am already such a big fan of Hanson's work.
That said, the glaring, somewhat unforgivable issue with this was that they should not have tried to pass this as an episode of Bones. It obviously wasn't. Viewers felt deceived as this so called Bones episode was quite obviously a poorly disguised, extended promo for the Finder. If viewers had gone into this with the proper mindset, I am certain the response would not have been so negative. This should have been the pilot for the Finder. It would have been a perfect way to segway Bones into the spin off series. Oh well.
