My Thoughts:
Another episode I enjoyed. Once again the side stories were just as enjoyable as the murder mystery. This time mainly about Dr. Sweets and his girlfriend. Still a bunch of garbage keeping Angela and Hodgens apart... will be glad when that particular storyline is over.

My Rating:

[Dragonfire]

I hated all the crap keeping Angela and Hodgins apart.  I wasn't watching the show regularly during this season because of that mess.

Guest Stars:
John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets
Stephen Fry as Dr. Gordon Wyatt

Michael William Freeman as Grinder
Tania Raymonde as Lexi

My Thoughts:
After reading the plot for this one I expected not to care much for this one (I didn't remember it from the original airing)... but I have to admit I liked it a lot. The music really don't come that much into play in the story. I was able to ignore it completely. And it really dug deep into the relationship between Booth, Brennan and Sweets. And it also brings back Dr. Gordon Wyatt... who was the first psychiatrist that was introduced after Booth shot the clown head. This one has good side stories and the murder case is interesting.

20. The Beaver in the Otter
Air Date: 04/30/09

Guest Stars:
John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets
Brendan Fehr as Jared Booth
Pej Vahdat as Arastoo Vaziri
Jaimie Alexander as Molly Briggs
Nick Ballard as Greg Harmalard
Rick Peters as Dean Vernon Warner

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. It was good to see Booth's brother again. Especially on how it ended for him in the last episode he was on. Having to solve a case in a college meant that we were dealing with stupid kids that like to have fun... so there was naturally some fun elements to this one. At this point  Angela is still in the celibate stage. They need to get her and Hodgins back together already. But to be honest... I can't remember if they do that this season or the next one. At this rate... with only two more season four episodes left... it will probably be next season.

My Thoughts:
another episode I enjoyed quite a bit. It has a good murder case they are working on... as well as a very good side story. Brennan deciding she wants a baby caused much disbelief from her friends. Booth starts to see Stewie from Family Guy letting us know that a few things he has seen in past episodes was indeed hallucinations... and ends up in the hospital.

Guest Stars:
John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets

My Thoughts:
This episode brings season four to an end. This is really a different type of episode. It all takes place in a fantasy world... a dream that Booth has while in a coma in the hospital. This episode even has Zach in it... which is good to see him again. As well as all the different interns that has been taking his place at the Jeffersonian. So it was pretty cool seeing everyone in the one episode. And for those music lovers out there... this episode even has Mötley Crüe performing. It is a right good episode... and nice change of pace for the season finale.

My Thoughts:
This is a very good start to the new season. I enjoyed the murder case... and liked the side story of the differences in Booth after his tumor operation and coma. I found it a little odd it didn't mention the ongoing storyline between Angela and Hodgins. But I guess it had enough to deal with concerning the other two storylines. It was also strange that there was no intern helping in the lab in this episode.

2. The Bond in the Boot

Joseph Julian Soria as Pedro Marquez

My Thoughts:
Not a bad episode... but I wouldn't rank it as high as most the others. The whole spy thing in the storyline really didn't appeal to me at all. I did however like the storyline where Wendell was loosing his grant and couldn't continue to intern at the Jeffersonian.

Jennifer Parsons as Rebecca Yoder

My Thoughts:
This one I enjoyed quite a bit. It has an interesting murder case to solve. And I also enjoyed the side story of Michelle... the teen girl Cam adopted... showing interest in having sex for the first time. I must admit I got a kick out of Booth scaring the boy interested in Michelle. I mean what isn't scary about an FBI agent... who used to be a sniper... ready to take care of you if you touch a girl.

Leonardo Nam as Nate Grunenfelder
Reggie Austin as James Perry
Billy Gardell as Bob Sayles
Cheryl White as Mary Kay Sayles
Paula Newsome as Kelly Bissette

My Thoughts:
Another that I enjoyed quite a bit. The murder mystery is a good one. Kept my interest through-out. Though the side story with Arastoo Vaziri was one I really found no interest in what so every. Him faking his accent... I mean... who cares? It adds nothing at all to the show.... making it no more then filler for this episode. After the whole first disc of the fifth season they still haven't even mentioned the Angela / Hodgins storyline. I wish they would finish it up and get those two back together already.

Mozhan Marno as Azita Jabbari
Kasey Mahaffy as Leland Frankel
Eli Goodman as Dr. Alexander Wheaton

My Thoughts:
This is an excellent episode. I enjoyed every minute of it. It has a very interesting murder case they are trying to solve. And I really liked the side story of Daisy once again becoming one of the Jeffersonian interns after being fired because no one liked to work with her. It was actually kind of funny to see Daisy and Brennan get all excited together over the Egyptian mummy findings. And Brennan knowing the Boris Karloff movie The Mummy so well was also entertaining for some reason. I guess it just seemed so out of character for her... even though it shouldn't have. I mean after all... if she is going to know any movie it would be that one. Definitely one of the best episodes I seen in quite a while.

Guest Stars:
Michael Grant Terry as Wendell Bray
Sean Bridgers as John Collins
Tracy Middendorf as Gaynor Rabin
Sufe Bradshaw as Gina McNamara
Andrew J. West as Josh Parsons
Steven M. Porter as Roy Meyers

My Thoughts:
Not a terrible episode... though definitely on the average side. The murder case they worked on was only mildly interesting. They finally got back to the Angela/Hodgins storyline. But it seems only to put yet another wrinkle into it. I swear I don't remember it taking so long for those two to get back together. It's been all of season 4... and a nice chunk of season 5 already. But I am almost positive they get back together at some point within this season.
