“Bones” Season Finale Goes Batsh*t Crazy

“Bones” Season Finale Goes Batsh*t Crazy First off, at the beginning of the season, I gave Hart Hanson, the creator of Fox’s “Bones” some homework, and he failed miserably. But honestly, there is no way to judge a current season based on things you want resolved from past seasons, so Mr. Hanson gets a pass. Besides, the show definitely delivered on some counts, so I can’t complain.

Especially since the show as I knew it is completely different than it was when I first wrote about it a year ago.

It’s not a bad thing; it’s a sign of an evolving show. But let’s be frank – “Bones” started out as a character-driven procedural that used subtle comedy and quirky characters to lighten the dark nature of the cases. Now? Emily Deschanel’s Dr. Brennan is hardly ever in the lab, choosing field work with David Boreanaz’s Agent Booth.

They’re also abducting corpses from funeral homes and going undercover at the circus. And they’ve turned into goofballs. Meanwhile, Sweets (John Francis Daley), the shrink, is also going undercover, as well as the rotating interns, none of whom are fit to replace Zack, apparently. Hodgins (TJ Thyne) is bouncing turkeys off his ex-fiancee’s head and waking up in the desert with her face tattooed on his arm. Brennan is suddenly wanting to learn psychology and have a baby. And Booth is hallucinating. He’s seeing Stewie from “The Family Guy.”
