Psych and Bones

[katikat]

It was a good episode, nothing really special but Shawn did show amazing talent deciphering that compulsive liar's gibberish. What stuck out mostly for me was how desperate Shawn was for everybody to believe him - and no one did. Again and again people dismissed him, even his own father. The scene where he begged Gus to have faith in him was heartbreaking - at least for me. So overall, I didn't find this episode funny but sad. I mean after all the time and all his solved cases, people still didn't trust him :(

What a disappointment. After watching the promo, I thought that this episode would be suspenseful, that I would sit on the edge of my seat, biting my nails. And the result? Everybody was behaving in a really OOC way, especially Hodgins - the way he was willing to risk Booth's life was completely OOC! - Angela was once again the "Mary Sue" who could hack a computer under five minutes (I thought that she was an artist!) and Booth was seeing a ghost. What a farce. And the fact that after everything that his brother did for him, there wasn't even one scene with he and Booth, instead Booth went to deliver some "Touched by an Angel" message to a grieving wannabe widow... I felt cheated!

I didn't see the episode of Bones yet. I watched the promo, does Gravedigger make a comeback?

I lost a lot of my enthusiasm for Bones with the end of season 3, partly because I love Zack and his out-of-it genius. Then the more I watched it, the more annoying Bones and Booth became. Sure, some of the interns were pretty cool, and the episode with a transsexual preacher was really good, but otherwise, meh.

Wasn't Angela a computer expert person though? She did 3D visuals and she's written a few pretty complicated programs, plus image manipulation and that's tough in terms of computer science.

Oh yes, the Gravedigger storyline is solved now. And what a disappointment. Another fast-track solution of the Gormogon sort *rolls eyes*

I like the show much better now that Zack is gone. I didn't like the way they got rid of him, that was beyond lame, but I didn't like his character at all, I found him grating and annoying. The switching interns are very amusing :P

And yes, Angela's a comp tech and an artist but come on, she pulls out a laptop and within a minute she hacks a video feed from a nearby camera. She's such a Mary Sue lately - we need a solution, let Angela show her geek skills...

Well, I'm no computer expert, but hacking a camera feed that emits a signal can't be that complicated. It's a question of decrypting the signal, and for a sufficiently standard camera it could be as simple as knowing which algorithms to use /pure speculation. Frankly, I was more bothered by the random attacks of supernatural perception she seems to have. Or how she identified a victim based on her skull alone. And even then Brennan is usually more irritating.

I have yet to find a single Sweets/Booth story yet...

Really? O.o Truth to be told, I don't read fanfics to Bones. It's one of the shows I like to watch but I don't need to be a part of the fandom. It's like with The Mentalist or NCIS...

Surprisingly, I'm not looking for fic with any of those shows. I got curious and went looking and never found anything. I really like the Bones/Booth relationship. Now, the Mentalist, if he had the right male interaction... he could be a spectacular pairing...
