I feel the show is going down hill. I looked forward to the show but not now . Wish they could put some drama in the show. Hope the show gets better.

Epidose was good. I like it thqt we didn;t have to see Bones and Booth getting the kinks out of their relatonship. The baby part is fine. I can see Bone's being upset about the science part of the movie as she is all about science.
farsia2010, I agree wholeheartedly with you. This was once a very good show. The cases were intriguing, the characters were written and played very intelligently, and it had a bit of an edge. All of those things seem to have gradually disappeared in the past 3 seasons or so, and that is sad. Too many things are played for laughs now, and the whole show has gotten way too cutesy and silly for my taste. I think the whole baby thing was simply the nail in the coffin for this show, as far as I am concerned. What has happened to the intelligence? What has happened to the drama, the loose ends that don't always get tied up?
I believe the writers of this show sorely underestimate their audience and their intelligence. And the result is this mess of a soap opera that Bones has become.

i am not saying that all the eps have to be drama only, but there has to be a balance, some comedy here, some drama here, some mixed eps. but this season barely has ANY drama at all!! just comedy and superficial caricatures of the characters and their feelings! it has nothing left from the first 4 seasons or even season 5 and 6.(even though those two were maybe a little too dramatic and not enough comedic relief, but still). season 7 is just tooooooooo shallow.

Good show and the killer was a total surprise. This show has got one of the best ensemble casts and makes Bones fun to watch each and every week. I laughed at the characters who were supposed to be Temperence and Booth in the film that was being made of Bones's book, especially the guy who was supposed to be Booth. Funny to say the least.

This episode was lame and boring. Much as all of the more recent episodes have been lame and boring -- personal foibles, relationships and ridiculous back stories have become more important than the crime, and for that the show has changed too much.
A lot of dramas do "fun" shows. Supernatural, Castle, CSI. I don't think every episode has to be overflowing with drama, it's unrealistic and can lead to boredom of the same thing over and over. What's the difference between this episode of Bones and last week's zombie episode of Castle?

this was sort of fun but it was a terrible ep as eps go, seriously, no drama at all! i mean adding a good balance of dramatic moments to this show is essential or it will turn into a full blown comedy with dark and gory humour! there was not enough of investigation, no dramatic moments only comedic,, this ep was a silly ep and i guess i wouldn't mind it so much if not for the fact that all the eps lately seem to be just comedy and caricature. we is the build up, where is the real suspense, where is the true procedural feel of the investigation? it seems to me that the writers are only thinking of "how to make the nest body more absurd than the previous one?" it's a race to give ludicrous situation, a gory effect (EWW factor) and some punch from the inicial reveal of the joke. the murders themselves don't feel serious at all. they are using child killers anymore i gues to make the investigation to heavy, they are not allowing for any true sadness or tragedy to come through in the killin

I suspected the killer would turn out to be the guy who offered Booth a job. Loved the podiatrist and how Bones so casually insults him and his arm goes dead! Fune episode -- definitely!
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...
