#2 - Bones & Books

So! Here's my newest obsession. [This happens regularly - very regularly. Not to worry. It shan't affect my studies - much.]

Bones is created by Hart Hanson based on the book series by Kathy Reichs [I love the books, too. Latest  one in the series is Devil Bones.

 Go read!!!

BONES is a show about FBI agent Seeley Booth [David Boreanz] and his partner forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. (Emily Deschanel) [And yes, I am obsessed.] This show has EVERYTHING I love. Mystery, drama, action, hints of romance, and it doesn't involve scandals like in The O. C. or Gossip Girls or you know, shows in that particular vein. Besides that, there's a lot of witty banter [And you know how much that means to me =)] and intimidating, long, hard to pronounce-and-spell words. Words like phalanges (Psst! That means fingers.) and metacarpals (any bone in the hands) and fractures of the C-5 vertebrae and etc. 

Basically, the two of them - that's them in the picture over there - run around solving mysteries. [Well, not running around per se, just, you know. Running.] She's very scientific about everything, hates psychology, loves examining old, 100-year old remains, loves guns for some absurd reason, doesn't get most references to pop culture,

 [one example being, 

"Spit in my hand, we're Scully and Mulder." 

"....I don't know what that means."]

and she can't stand his alpha-male tendencies. [That's what she calls them. His alpha-male tendencies!] 

Now: He's a person who's all heart as opposed to her being all brains, goes with his gut feelings and is basically FBI eye candy. And yes. I suppose he has what she calls alpha-male tendencies. [Which, in everyone but her case makes him very desirable, thank you.]

So when these two meet sparks fly. Gunshots fly, too. [In the shooting range. That is. And then there was the time where she accidentally shot him, but that comes later.] 

She goes with him because she loves being out in the field instead of being shut up in the Jeffersonian Institute

 [That's where she works, by the way, and that's some of the cool equipment they show onscreen.] 

and he accepts that she and her team of 'squints' will always be smarter than him when it comes to solving mysteries. 

SQUINTS ARE:-

There's Jack Hodgins - the 'bug and slime guy' who believes that the government is always in this huge conspiracy theory,

[played by TJ Thyne]

Angela, Brennan's best friend and their resident victim-faces-drawing person [to help identify the victim. She also reconstructs destroyed evidence like letters, tattoos and the like. She has this cool machine called the Angelator - which, sadly, does not exist in real life.] She believes that she is the most normal of them all in the lab. Which is, for the most part, true.

[played by Michaela Conlin]

Then there's Zack Addy [Played by Eric Millegan] - Brennan's loyal assistant with even less understanding of social life than Brennan herself. Example being,

[Zack: *Holds his fist up to bump hands* ......You're supposed to...bang your fist against mine.

Brennan: ...Why?!

Zack: I'm told it's a widely accepted gesture for mutual success...

Angela: I love it, when you two try to impersonate earthlings. ]

Lastly, there's Dr. Camille Saroyan [played by Tamara Taylor]- their boss and she deals with 'Flesh. Not bones.'

SO, yeah. I love the show. Really, really love. Its five stars out of five for this one. I find this better than House or CSI because the quality doesn't go down after the first few seasons. But maybe that's just me. Just give it a shot anyway. 

This is ALEXIS LEE writing off!
