Hi The Bones Booth Pod!
Compared to the heavier hitting episodes of season five, I think this one tends to get overlooked, but I wish it didn't, because it's still a really great episode. I know most people like it for some of the overt "X Files" references, but since I am more of a "Roswell" fan, I appreciate it for those aspects.
Like most of the cases that take place outside of D. C., this one allows Booth and Brennan to have a bit more fun than they sometimes get to when they are at home. The case is interesting, and I like that it feels like a companion/sister episode to "Man in the Bear". I don't know how best to explain what I mean by that, but Andrew, you get it, right? I enjoy Booth and Brennan's on-top-of-the-car chat (TM) that takes place at the end of the episode. Every opportunity for a flirty moment between the two of them, is a good time.
As a Hodgela shipper, I am not a fan of seeing Angela and Wendell together. It never felt right, and unless I am actively re-watching, I conveniently "forget" that it ever did. Wendell is a nice guy, but they have no chemistry. I spend the episode feeling much like Hodgins does towards their relationship. Sad and a little angry.
Spoiler Alert: I am glad that their relationship doesn't last too long after this episode.
