'Bones' Fosters Some Resentment! Plus 'Justice,' Pictures From 'Mars' Premiere and a PTR Fave Heads Back to the Big Screen

It's official -- I watch too many crime shows. I've come to this conclusion recently after noticing that I have been solving cases way too early. Lately, I tend to know what happened before the TV crime fighters, so I've decided that I watch too many of them, and therefore, have seen it all before. In last night's episode of Bones, I figured out who was responsible for the teen's death before Bones and Booth. For those who have not seen this episode, be aware that this post contains SPOILERS about the case AND personal stuff. Now, I'm not Bones and I'm not a product of the foster system, but I, too, thought Camille's assumption that the foster girl was responsible for the suburban teen's death was harsh. She was hell-bent on proving it too. Although, I think that she wouldn't have been as harsh had Bones not argued with her so much, but then again, Bones is a product of the foster system, so she felt like Camille was personally attacking her. Of course, had Bones just mentioned this fact to Camille, she would have backed down much sooner than she did. These two really need to talk, so I appreciated the ending scene at the diner. I'm hoping things go more smoothly now that they're beginning to understand each other. Regarding the case, I knew the second that the girl confessed that she was covering for her brother. And even though the teen's death was the result of foster kids (as Camille insisted), it wasn't because they were some sort of "bad seeds." The little brother just wanted to keep his family together. This was one of those tragic cases all around. And how about Angela and Hodgins? Looks like there's going to be a little lovin' in the lab!


'Justice' Follows the Money
Last night's episode of Justice was not as compelling as the previous two. Maybe it was the change of venue or the unsympathetic defendant that caused the show to stall slightly, but something was missing from this show's usual successful formula. As soon as Alden's defense witness proved that the suspect's hands were not the right size, I was voting Not Guilty. I just wasn't sure who killed the bride-to-be and why. Ron's assertion that the groom's father did it because she wouldn't sign the pre-nup seemed so far-fetched as the other lawyers said, but it turned out to be the truth. The moment I saw Jeff Nordling's name in the guest cast I went ahead and assumed he had something to do with the murder, as implausible as it seemed, because the guy always plays the bad guy (Cold Case, The Closer, Close to Home, just to name a few). Yay for typecasting! I was shocked, shocked I tell you, when he didn't. As usual, the show's most interesting and gripping segment came at the end when they showed us what happened. I must be the biggest sucker because this gimmick alone keeps me coming back. It's just too compelling and I still can't figure out why!

Premiering Tonight!!!
Survivor kicks off its 13th season tonight (8 p.m. CBS) with a storm of controversy. The reality competition will divide the 12 contestants into groups based on their race. The show's creator, Mark Burnett, told Yahoo! Answers that the decision was more of an experiment than anything else. "Our rationale for dividing Survivor tribes by ethnicity was based upon our belief that racial differences were highly unlikely to matter when the modern world was removed," he explains. Will the experiment prove to be as controversial as the idea? Tune in tonight to find out.
