Why is it that everytime there's not some big confrontation the episode is automatically filler? Um, most episodes don't have heartbreak and tears, if they did it would be ridiculous. It's a procedural crime show. That means there are episodes in which they simply solve a crime. It's a drama, not a soap. However, I'm really sick of valentines day. Someone should do an Easter one. At least that's a real holiday. Putting valentines day over murder? Really? Just do it tomorrow; its not like Paul is only there for valentines.

In all the cop and medical shows, who do you think is winning the 'let's gross out the watcher' contest with special effects?

I often get the feeling that the episodes are out of order. They could have written this one, say, last year; adding a line or two about Hannah supposedly brings it up to date.
Sweets was unbelievably dense when talking to Booth. Some psychologist he is! Hodgins' gift for Angela was sensitive...but then Hodgins is one of my favorite characters.
I don't necessarily watch "Bones" for the mystery, but then I don't watch "Jeopardy!" because I'm going to win money. Just a mental exercise. I do look at the science, and I've caught a few mistakes; I also knew that the fingernail epithelials would prove gender...
But I am waiting for the baby! What's this cr*p about waiting three weeks for the next episode?

Wow some of these Bones fans are so fickle! For the past six months all I would read at posts such as this one is "I can't wait until Hannah is gone". Now she's gone and what do I read but "bring Hannah back". Well you can't have it both ways people. It seems no matter what is done, some people just aren't satisfied!
I thought that this was an enjoyable episode. So what that it wasn't the most intense episode ever. It wasn't supposed to be. I think it was a message of just how out of hand a "holiday" like Valentines Day has become-it's more about expensive gifts and not much about the heart. Of course it's ridiculous that Cam wanted the murder to be solved in eight hours-it was meant to be a farce. Humorous you know. Also, I don't think that Booth is that hurt by the whole Hannah fiasco-it wasn't that deep of a relationship to begin with. If he was able to move on with Brennan and they share much more of an emotional bond, I think he can move on from Hannah because they only had a

Oh and Cam and Paul have as much chemisty as pifce of wood. That kiss was just awful.

Boring episode. BOOORING! Please bring Hannah back! At least she mixed up things! I hope she is back next season like Stephen Nathan hinted. Shake up Booth/Brennan again. That would be fun. Bring it!

Don't worry it was an average, filler epi. I saw it that way too. There are running themes through Bones. The epis do connect subtley i.e. Booth/Hannah. Hodgela baby. Cam's life. So it is fine to say if this epi was lack lustre, If that is what you feel. It was fluffy. To fluffy for me.

I was particularly annoyed by the way Cam ordered them to solve the mystery in 8 hours 23 minutes, so she could make her date on time. How arrogant of her to assume that nothing could be accomplished without her presence! Brennan regularly has worked there alone all night with no one except the janitor to keep her company. It was annoying, made no sense, did not adhere to the past policies of the Jeffersonian and the past history of the series -- it was b.s. of a low order.
Any time that Sweets and Daisy are absent is a good time for me. I find them both appalling.
I also preferred Clark when he was being rudely insistent on keeping his private life private, but the contrast with his "too much information" current attitutde does makes me laugh. He is not my favorite "Squintern", but he's always good for a laugh one way or the other.
Am I the only one who feels like the magic is gone out of the interactions between the two actors who play Angela and Hodgins? The lack of i

@TM - I agree. Perhaps it's unfair to call it filler when a bulk of the episodes function exactly as you say. Maybe it's just that two of the past four weeks have been SO intense, and that this one seemed particularly average (to me) that made me use that term.

Booth is full of remorse, and it most delicious!

I don't know if it's just me,but I actually loved this episode.I mean,yes,it is a filler,but we can't expect a procedural show,like Bones,to deal with perps like the gravedigger and the evil-Booth sniper guy every week.I mean,ever since the show first aired,almost every week there is a new case that has no connection with the other episodes.If so, 3/4 of all Bones episodes are fillers...

Booth is done with love and I feel for him. He will be trying to get over Hannah all season. He clearly isn't over her or the hurt no matter what he says. I saw only friendship for Brennan. Partners. As it should be after the Hannah heartache. No B&B hookup this season

Brennan was last resort girl in this epi. The last option for a Valentines date from men she knew in the past. What an unwanted catch. At least she knew that.

Booth is still in pain. He is in the bitter, denial stage. He isnt over Hannnah. Or their break up. At least when Hannah was there she added drama. This epi was boring with a dull case.

I felt bad for Booth. They were so insensitive to him. I wanted to smack Hodgins and Sweets. And could someone get Hodgins his balls back from Angela? Thanks

It was a filler. The case was weak. Cam was unprofessional. Remember when she actually gvie a crap about the victing and justice? But not in valentines day. Brennan was pathetic acting. Forced.
Brennan: I want to marry you. Will you marry me, Booth? Booth: Are you serious? Brennan: Yes. I've been afraid, I've been stubborn, and I've been in love. An...
