Bones premiered last Thursday. This review is going up the following Tuesday. Does it matter? No, because talking about Bones is always a good time. (Full disclosure: I started watching Bones reruns over the summer because there was nothing else on. It started as a joke and ended up on the dvr list).
The beginning of this season begins with the return of all the characters from their individual adventures. Then they solve one murder, and then another. That’s all there is to each and every episode, except we normally only get one mystery solved. There is never anything going on plot wise. They solve a different murder every week, and they are never wrong.
The one theme that did resonate throughout this particular episode is group dynamics, specifically identifying the keystone/lynchpin member who keeps the group together. To the surprise of no one, I am the keystone to this blog and the whole episode really hit home. The only two differences between the episode and real life were the following:
1. They spent the whole episode evaluating the merits of each character to see if they were the true lynchpin. It didn’t take nearly as long in real life.
2. By the end of the episode, there was no unanimous lynchpin. There are no ties in real life or this blog.
I’m looking forward to another murder mystery solved this week to go along with some serious life lessons. Bones has layers.
