| Synopsis:
When a skull and various skeletal remains are found in a tree in a nationally protected wooded preserve, Brennan and Booth are on the case to investigate. Back at the Jeffersonian, Brennan learns of her estranged father's new position as a teacher, a prospect she is less than happy to learn about considering his recent acquittal for murder. In a lucky break, the victim's bones are identified in a government database as those of an ex-Marine who has been off-the grid for nearly three years. With no records of his whereabouts from the past three years, the team turns to the internet for answers. The investigation eventually leads Brennan and Booth to an ultra-elite private school and a group of rich and powerful families, one of whom the ex-Marine had worked for as a "manny." As the investigation continues, the team finds Brennan's father to be an unlikely asset to the case, but Brennan has mixed feelings about her father's involvement. Brennan and Booth's investigation delves deep into the world of lies and deception of the ultra privileged families. |

Jumped the shark December 3, 2008

I loved "Bones" in season one; I own the DVDs of seasons one and two; I have seen every episode of seasons three and four. But now I am watching half with a desperate hope that the show will recover, half to catch all the mistakes -- and this season has been rife with mistakes, both of character and of plot. I was willing to assume that the unbelievable ending of season three, including the wholesale dismantling of the character of Zach, was a result of the writers' strike. Now I think the show has just jumped the shark. What happened to the respect for the dead that was so marked and so poignant in season one? Why did "Bones" stop being a science show with good characters and turn into a show about flaky characters, with a bit of science on the side? And when will they give up the farce that the women are actually wearing clothes? Cam was two millimeters away from body paint in this episode. What is the point of creating strong, capable, intelligent female characters and then undercut them by treating them with so little respect that they aren't even dressed in a manner befitting their characters and positions? I am deeply disappointed with the path this series has taken.
