My Thoughts:
Another good episode. I enjoyed the case they worked on. We are starting to see much more of the new psychologist... Dr. Sweets... by now. Not much mentioned about Gormogon in the last couple episode. And nothing much happening lately with the Angela and Hodgins storyline. Looking forward to them bring both those storylines back.

Well... that is as far as I can go on this show till I am able to get the next season. I had a feeling that if I got started on this show I wouldn't want to stop till I got to the end of my collection. I really enjoyed revisiting this series... and wish I had the next set or two (whatever is out now) to continue.

With help from the newest grad student, Wendell, the team learns the body is that of Jared Addison, a 25-year-old science fiction writer with severe OCD.

My Thoughts:
An excellent episode! It was so good to see Zack in an episode again. Every season since I have hoped to see another episode with him in it. I really like where they went with this episode. The ending was one I wasn't expecting which of course is always a good thing. I would even go as far to say I found this episode to be one of the best in the entire series.

Air Date: 10/01/08

My Thoughts:
Another episode I enjoyed... but it isn't as good as the previous episode. The story... while decent really don't hold your attention like most episodes do. More or less just a standard episode with nothing extra to set it apart from the others.

Bones: Season 4

3. The He in the She
Air Date: 10/08/08
When remains are found in the Chesapeake Bay, Booth and Brennan are sent to the scene to investigate. The team has little to go on when only the upper torso is found, complete with breast implants. However, when the lower half is found, everyone realizes their initial assumptions about the victim were incorrect.

Guest Stars:
John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets
Ryan Cartwright as Vincent Nigel-Murray
David Gallagher as Ryan Stephenson
Bruce Thomas as JP Gratton
Blake Shields as Chuck Kennedy
Nancy Youngblut as Cecilia Stephenson

My Thoughts:
This episode is better then the last one. I liked the intern they had in this one. I forgot to mention... now that Zach is gone this season (and if I remember correctly throughout though-out the rest of the series to date) they have several interns rotating through instead of just replacing Zach with one character. While I really liked Zach... he was one of my favorite characters... I also like how they handled loosing him at the Jeffersonian. I always got a kick out of how this intern kept throwing out those little known but useless facts. I also liked the bit of a twist this one has. Made for a memorable episode.
