Bones: The Baby in the Bough (2008)
Romance Trope Central
This is such a well rounded episode of Bones, you can't rate it anything but a 10/10. "The Baby in the Bough" is one I think of when I think of "classic" Bones episodes. "Dancing phalanges!" is, of course, iconic, but I think the mystery is interesting and well done, too. I always forget who the killer is upon rewatch.
But what really makes this episode a stand out is Bones and Booth caring for a baby together. Seeing how they each interact with Andy in different ways develops their characters and is also hilarious. Not to mention, it is a classic romance trope and I love how the show never shies away from plots like this when developing Bones and Booth's romance. What an epic slow burn.
P. S. Hi The Bones Booth! Keep doing what you're doing.
Bones: The End in the Beginning (2009)
Actually the Best Episode of Bones Ever
I probably think about this episode 829 times a day. It is so perfectly done from the voice over story telling, to the setting, to the twist ending. Seeing all of the characters as their alternate universe selves is a blast and the surprise in the end with AU Brennan being pregnant gets me EVERY. TIME. I think the whole dream sequence being a story Brennan is reading to Booth in his coma is a perfect metaphor for their connection. The writers of the show expertly draw out this romance in a slow burn over so many seasons that it is as impressive as it is frustrating. I could live in this alternate universe forever.
P. S. Hi The Bones Booth!
Bones: Mummy in the Maze (2007)
One of my Favorites
When I was a kid, my parents let me purchase a few shows on iTunes to watch on my iPod Touch, and this was one that I chose and watched over and over until I had it memorized. The character dynamics are so fun and entertaining in this episode and I love how you can see the team really becoming a family. It's a very warm and festive episode that is still creepy enough for Halloween.
Also, so many iconic lines from "I'm a cow--see my udder?" to "We could be Wonder Woman and Clark Kent after a really, really bad date." That's right--BOOTH AND BRENNAN WENT ON A DATE. And Brennan is so adorable spinning around like Wonder Woman changing into her costume. I love her.
P. S. Hi The Bones Booth! You rock!
Bones: Aliens in a Spaceship (2006)
Slow Burn Romance Intensified
Definitely one of my favorite episodes of Bones and one I anticipate it every time I rewatch the show. I think the Grave Digger is one of the best villains, so I'm always excited when this story line shows up.
I like how the plot deviates from the traditional crime procedural structure, and, of course, we love a countdown clock!! I also think the inventive science-y things Brennan and Hodgins do to survive while buried are so interesting.
Lastly, I will never get enough of the development of the personal relationships between Hodgins and Angela and Brennan and Booth. It is so heartbreaking when Hodgins and Brennan think they're going to die and both leave notes for their loved ones. Also, Booth pulling Brennan out of the ground in the end--MY HEART.
P. S. Hi, The Bones Booth! Love the show, keep up the great work!
