'Bones' Shoots, Scores

Having graduated from an SEC school, I know that there are few things better in life than college sports (especially football). With that in mind I was very curious to see how Bones dealt with the world of college basketball. Now, we in SEC country (with the exception of those crazy Kentucky fans) don't consider ourselves gung-ho basketball fans like the ACC because most of our energy is spent on football, but I still got a kick out of the way the episode played up the importance of athletics on a college campus. Brennan was so put off by the fact that a measly 4 students showed up for her anthropology lecture while the entire student body was wrapped up in the game. She even managed to insult Booth in the process. Speaking of which, there was an interesting vibe there when she belittled his obsession with sports (both as a former athlete and a current fan). She really hurt his feelings, and that realization caused her to make amends at the end. But, why does Booth care so much about what she thinks? Sure, they're partners, but they have very little, if anything, in common and that never seems to bother him, but her putting him down, really got to him. Hmm...

I know that Angela is a fun lovin' gal, but I had a hard time believing that she wouldn't have been mortified when her BOSS found that sex tape! Yes, I said her BOSS found her sex tape. A tape of her and a coworker (OK, so they're engaged, but still her BOSS saw her sex tape!) in a storage closet on their lunch break. I'm uncomfortable for her! As usual, I loved the show's lighter moments -- the skull crushing reenactment (complete with ambrosia all over Cam), Bones scoring that basket and feeling a sense of glee, and Hodgins discovering the blue lipstick. And if I could've stop blushing long enough for Angela, I might have enjoyed the humor in those scenes as well. Overall, Bones scores another win.
