This is the final episode with serial killer Howard Epps. And it is a great episode! I enjoyed every second of it! And once again it holds true.. one (or more) of the team in trouble and my interest in the episode is increased... even after multiple viewings!

Another episode I enjoyed quite a bit. I liked the case they worked on. I liked Booth in therapy. The only thing I didn't really care for is Sully... the agent that Brennan worked with on this case.

I didn't like Sully that much either.

My Thoughts:
Another one I enjoyed quite a bit. What I liked a lot about this one that you don't see too often in this series is that there is a good amount of time devoted to the courtroom. This was a bit of a bonus for me as I always liked courtroom dramas.

Bones: Season 2

15. The Bodies in the Book

My Thoughts:
This one is a great episode. Kept my attention the entire time. Though it is an obvious storyline. .. what with Brennan being a best selling novelist. I am actually kind of surprised they held off to the second season to do it.

Actually, Pete, do you know that the series is based on a series of books by Kathy Reichs and she really is an anthropologist who works with the FBI? Well, at least in a teaching capacity. 

The episodes aren't based on her stories directly, but the idea of Brennan being a novelist is a neat link...

Yup... I sure did know that. Though I never did bother to look into her that much yet.

I'm sure she's pleased to hear it. You can be arrested for that sort of thing...

Gordon Wyatt? That's Stephen Fry! Officially a national treasure here in the UK.   He is very like that character really. Incredibly intelligent and fiercely witty. Here's a clip from a panel show (a very popular format here) with celebrities called QI. It's a quiz of sorts about "Quite Intelligent" facts...
