I liked a lot of the ideas explored by the review and agreed with many of them. The dance wasn't just to show Bones awkwardly trying to dance, but was very symbolic of the "dance" of B&B's relationship. Bones is a very strong-willed woman, and I like that about her, but she's learning that she's no longer alone, and she's having to learn how to live in relationship to Booth now, and not bulldoze her way through life. There is give and take in relationship, and when she catches onto it with Booth, their lives flow together in a beautiful way like their final dance. He knows life isn't easy with Bones because of that, but he loves and accepts her as she is, and helps her grow, even if it's not always pretty. The second episode was a nice combination because it showed Bones having to mature in relation to her protege Clark. She's learning that she doesn't always have to "win" to be acceptable. She can allow her protege to receive his due credit, and she can recognize even that a dead

I think Angela should be given a way out to follow her first dream of being a real artist. But then I for one would be very sorry to see her leave unless they can someone else who is as good as her.
I have noticed that in the last few episodes, she has remarked about all of the horror she must draw from.

I thought the end with Booth and Brennan dancing was that she can not dance but in their eyes they are beautiful.

I still like the show...excited that it's going to be picked up for another season, but these past few episodes Brennan has really been irritating..belittling Booth and her interns..doesn't see that Ange is need a friend at the moment.. etc..it's almost like she's gone back 10 steps.. Plus I don't like that Sweets is still living with them..that whole story line is just stupid..

I am glad that Hodgins is wealthy, but I think you miss the point. Sure, he can afford the kind of house to make Angela happy and that they could afford to take a year off and go to Paris. But taking joy in your work is more precious than the money.
One of the best episodes for Angela was the time she created a virtual visit to the Louvre for a little girl who was dying and would never get there. That's an Angela thing.
Hodgins is too smart to give up the work he loves best -- bugs, slime, and particulates. (You may have noticed that, when he's happy, he's not so much into the conspiracies stuff.)
The story of the Homo sapiens-Neanderthal couple was especially good -- "the world's first hate crime."

Pelant is so ridiculous that if he comes back, I will have to skip those episodes.

This program seems to be "dancing" dangerously close to good-bye. I sat through the 1st episode and it reminded me of I love Lucy when no matter what Lucy did she was still the star and Ethel who was way better was on the sidelines????
Bones' dancing was ridiculous and completely denounces the fact that the woman is a super genius, who apparently is at a 0% when it comes to self awareness. Booth looks like he is worn out, somebody please help this show! and stop letting Lance talk so much! I didn't even stick around for the second hour.
And yes I also want to know if Angela is going to be written out.

Ang is beyond annoying, if she hates her job, just quit, stop whining, she a billionaire's wife, sure she can paint all she wants. A few cute scenes with B & B and the end made up for the whole ep, as it frequently does.
What's with the lack of David Boreanaz in Cocoon? If he wants to cut back his scenes, as HH insinuated, does that mean he's no longer the lead? It's boring with Booth-lite, sorry.

I liked the dance ep a lot. But the 2nd ep? I was totally taken aback how Booth lite the ep was. There was 20min block were he did not have one scene. And over exposed Sweets was doing his job again, alone. WTF? What's going on with the writers this season, they are treating my fav character like crap.

Bones is getting more irritating at every episode. I do like the entire cast, but Bones herself gets on my nerves!

I really liked how the gore was almost nonexistent in the episode about beauty. Loved the end dance scene.
Oh, and the crows were cool!

I hope Angela isn't leaving. I really like her in this series. It was so funny at the dance copetition. I enjoy this show.
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...
