Gathering of the Greatest Gumshoes - Number 24

Welcome to A Gathering of the Greatest Gumshoes! During this month-long event, I’ll be counting my Top 31 Favorite Fictional Detectives, from movies, television, literature, video games, and more!

SLEUTH-OF-THE-DAY’S QUOTE: “No matter what the anthropological reasons, we fight to make the world a better place.”

Number 24 is…Bones Brennan, from Bones.

“Bones” is a show that kind of toes the line between a typical, old-fashioned detective series, and a show more akin to the aforementioned crime dramas “NCIS” and “CSI.” In terms of style and such, it feels more like one of those series, but the way the cast and storytelling of the show is constructed – focusing on the adventures of a singular detective figure and their sidekick, trying to solve baffling crimes that often seem impossible to solve – feels more “classical” in nature. This blending of styles and period elements is part of what makes the show so interesting. The character of Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan herself is another part. Dr. Temperance Brennan is a forensic anthropologist, with a general interest in anthropology as a whole. Referred to as “Bones” by her colleagues – most notably her partner in the field (and later partner in life), FBI Agent Booth – she is one of the most socially detached people you could ever possibly meet. While not necessarily cruel or deliberately unpleasant, she is a very by-the-book kind of person in the laboratory, and is heavily grounded in her beliefs. She immerses herself totally in science and history, in just about every aspect of her life; she sees many emotions and attachments as essentially the results of chemical formulas and natural inclinations, and she refuses to acknowledge things like religion or mythology as having any proper bearing in reality. She fails to understand a lot of basic social cues in human interactions, doesn’t get most pop culture references, and is equal parts unflinchingly stubborn and HIGHLY passionate about her work. Because of all this, it’s hard for Bones to form friendships, or even romantic interests…but as the series goes on, we see the character grow and develop, becoming increasingly more comfortable in social environments, and becoming closer to her teammates…especially the aforementioned Booth. Booth, for the record, is a pretty good detective, himself, but it’s really Bones who acts as the Sherlock Holmes of this universe. In fact, the character seems to take a lot of cues from Holmes, and even quotes him a few times; both are eccentric geniuses who don’t always exhibit proper social graces, and have a detached mental and emotional outlook on the world as a result of their own strange minds and origins. Booth is, fittingly, Bones’ Watson…if Watson and Holmes fell in love. (Step away from your keyboards, fanfic writers.) I really love their relationship, as Booth is sort of the polar opposite of Brennan: a very emotional, generally more “loose” kind of person, who, while not a complete moron, doesn’t fully grasp a lot of the technical aspects of his partner’s scientific study, and is equally stubborn in a lot of his own convictions and beliefs. As time goes on, the two go from “frienemies” to a truly loving crime-fighting couple. If the romance isn’t of enough interest to you, then the mysteries they solve will be. Also, Bones got to work with Ichabod Crane in taking down zombie revolutionary war soldiers. (pauses) No, that is not a joke. Look up the two-part crossover with FOX’s “Sleepy Hollow,” which was split between an episode of “Bones” and an episode of the other show. Freaking awesome to see two such totally different crime dramas pair up in those stories. For the sake of Washington Irving, if you’re not gonna watch anything else from this show, at least watch those episodes, they’re hilarious. XD

Tomorrow, the countdown continues with Number 23!

CLUE: “Mess and I are very old friends.”

Is your ship really that iconic if one of them haven't been buried alive and the other haven't tried to dig them out with their bare hands?

Random things I love about the show Bones:

- all the times they take stuff from the museum to use in the investigation ("I got this from the x exhibit")

- Brennan following some birds, bugs etc and finding a body ("Booth, you might want to see this")

- "Bones, stay behind me!" Brennan immediately wanders off

- the banter between Booth and Caroline Julian

- how well TJ Thyne plays exhausted Hodgins

- how immaculate Cam's outfits are (and how they are ruined by Hodgins and co's experiments)

- the guitar riffs that play every time Angela's dad is on screen

so incredibly based of the bones writers to make Brennan autistic as fuck then have every man who meets her attracted as hell to her AND they dont stop being attracted to her when she does her autism thing, in fact most of the time it makes them more attracted to her.

shes blunt, overly serious, she thinks literally and is extremely competent in her field and the men on this show go "wow that was hot"

i lied, put your clothes back on, we’re actually going to talk about how brennan and hodgins are best friends and how they’re one of the most underrated pairings in the show despite being buried alive together, and hodgins being brennan’s counterpart in every au the show has done and them knowing each other from the main cast the longest and enjoying little pieces of each other that the others think are odd

(kinda funny that since Eddie was introduced during s2, this happened for all 3 parings in the their second season together)1

Well, at least nobody got shot. Probably 'cause she didn't have a gun.
