Season 9 episode 8, The Dude in the Dam

God bless America rating 4/10 - standard noughties crime procedural, nothing particularly egregious here (by bones standards) UPDATE 5/10 - Bones' rival author literally uses the phrase "god bless america"

Body reveal rating 4/10 - there's something to be said for a skeleton in a beaver dam, but there was wasted potential

Randy Angela rating -2/10 - negative randy points due to Hodgins' infestation

Hodgins mouth to boot rating 4/10 - he lacks his season 1 anti-government spark

Bones as a believable anthropologist 0/10 - all she does in this episode is go on telly to talk about her book

How offensive did I, personally, find it 7/10 - booth commits police brutality against a black man in this episode and, as always, the show treats it as nbd

Silly score 10/10 - Wendell briefly gets stuck to both a bone and Hodgins' face - it should've been an episode long B plot but wasn't, I wanted to see them go to the toilet together. However, the real magic comes in when Hodgins carries a bot fly to term in this episode. "If you had a bot fly I wouldn't touch you" - my wife, watching this episode with me

How bad is the song at the end 7/10 - oof, not good

Best outifit of the episode - Cam wins by default with her Vulcan bob

Is Sweets a little baby boy - yes, Sweets is present in the episode

Overall rating 5/10 - knocked off a point for inaccurate portrayal of leopard slug mating

Jason Grace's is the 'may I be your boyfriend?' not the 'will you be my girlfriend' type of guy, argue w the wall.

new theory just dropped: the shield and soa are in the same universe in the same way that vice principals and the righteous gemstones are.

Being at camp half bloof is weird because on one hand you have all these teenager losers with parental trauma

(me, I'm losers)

and then you'll be eating breakfast one day and Percy fucking Jackson walks in!???

Bro's stories are told at campfires the same as all the classics and then he just walks in casually like he wants some waffle fries

Like what?

🥹❌ be a haterrrrr

😒 Character who annoys you.

imagine if i came out as a wesley hater here. no uhhhh dukat after i think s5ish of ds9? every time he showed up i didn't feel the threat i was like ah fuck not again. q in voyager specifically. the thing they did with both neelix and lwaxana troi where they noticed that people were getting annoyed by them and then gave them the saddest most tragic backstories and character arcs to be like well you can't find them annoying NOW.

❌ One storyline/plot point that you hate from your favourite ST show/movie.

oh hmm. the problem with being such a hater is that i've already said so much on the topic but the first thing that comes to mind is the pah wraith cult arc on ds9 bc i feel like it contributed SO heavily to the final season's pacing issues. it didn't add enough interesting stuff for the number of problems it created imo.
