bones611smallLast week on Bones, Booth, Brennan, and the squints had to try to find the murderer of an ex-con and biker gang member turned yoga instructor. He’d been in a motorcycle crash, which meant he couldn’t ride as often or as long as he used to, and after that and prison, he’d turned his life around. Unfortunately for him, his newfound generosity is what got him killed — when he decided to help a fellow ex-con and biker gang member who was trying to make a fresh start and needed money, the victim’s girlfriend and co-owner of the yoga studio killed him. On the personal side of things, Booth is working hard to stay “sober” and earn Brennan’s trust back, and it’s working… She is slowly thawing. And Angela and Hodgins made the decision that they were going to leave the Jeffersonian and move to Paris.

Tonight is the season finale, and I’m very unhappy about that. So many questions… Will Brennan finally forgive Booth and ask him to move back home? Will Angela and Hodgins actually leave the Jeffersonian? Surely not. The show will be back next season, and I can’t imagine it without any members of the team. (I have seen the finale, so I know what happens with all the characters, and I will only say that it’s a great — and surprising — finale.)

On tonight’s episode, “The Next in the Last,” when the Jeffersonian team discovers remains of a victim, and elements of the crime scene point to a possible protégé of serial killer Christopher Pelant, they must revisit their prior work on Pelant while tracing new clues that will hopefully lead them to the copycat killer. Meanwhile, Angela is skeptical about Hodgins’ and her decision to move to Paris and Brennan and Booth contemplate options outside of the Jeffersonian and FBI.

Find out if/how Pelant is tied to the new victim and what Angela/Hodgins & Booth/Brennan decide tonight on FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Beat Bobby Flay.

Jenny’s Choice #1

bones64smallI’ve been enjoying the marriage troubles for Booth and Brennan on Bones the last few weeks — not that I love when they have problems, but it’s been nice seeing Brennan in touch with her emotions, and honestly, Booth deserved the tongue lashing she gave him… Not for the gambling but for the lying. He has a lot to make up to her; since she doesn’t trust easily in the first place, he’s going to have to work hard to earn her trust back. I have faith that he will. Stephen Nathan & crew have been through too much with the couple to break them up for good.

Then we turn to the other couples in the show… I love Hodgins and Angela and getting a ton of money for his invention. I don’t like the fact that they’re looking at moving to Paris. I don’t *think* they’re leaving the show — at least, not long-term — but…I guess it makes sense, as Angela’s wanted a change for a while. I actually dreamed a few days ago about them being “gone” for a couple of weeks, which was really a couple of months in their life, but then they both realized they missed the team, the work, and feeling good about finding the bad guys and they came back to the Jeffersonian. We’ll see. Also, how cute was Aubrey trying to feel out (as in flirt and see if she was interested. LOL) Jessica. She didn’t seem too interested, though, unfortunately for him!

On tonight’s episode, “The Life in the Light,” when the remains of an ex-con and biker gang member-turned-yoga instructor is found in the aftermath of a forest fire, the team must navigate both worlds from the victim’s past to find the killer. Meanwhile, Booth continues working hard to beat his gambling addiction and regain Brennan’s trust, and Angela and Hodgins make a big decision that will impact their future at the Jeffersonian.

Find out the big decision (like we don’t know?) Hodgins & Angela make tonight on FOX at 8/7c.

bones514smallLast week, we got a double episode of Bones, and it was definitely double the treat. First, Bones was confronted with a case that reminded her of her own childhood when a teenage girl’s body was found and it seemed that bullying was the cause…and it was, but not in the way that her bullies actually killed her. She killed herself and made it seem like they had done it. It’s very sad that things like that happen, that bullying is so bad that kids feel like they don’t want to live. As a parent, that’s one of the scariest things we ever have to go through, watching our children get bullied and hoping our children are strong enough to get through it. The second episode was all about the case of the baker ex-cons and the ritualistic killings. Alex Rockwell, whom the team helped put away for the killings, was less than a day from being executed when Brennan found what she thought was evidence to prove he was actually innocent of the crime. She, Booth, and the rest of the squints worked their butts off to find the actual proof they needed, and they did it just in time. Rockwell was saved only moments before the lethal injection would’ve killed him, and Booth and Aubrey were able to arrest the real killer…none other than the bakery owner, Roger Flender. My heart just ached for Rockwell as he accepted his fate and wrote a letter to his son. I was very glad the team was able to solve the case just in time.

That brings us to this week… A few episodes ago, Arastoo left Washington DC for Iran, where his brother was dying. He told Cam that he had to go, as he didn’t want his brother dying alone. Cam was terrified for him, as she knew it wouldn’t be safe for him and he might possibly be arrested. Tonight’s episode is very exciting, as it goes back to that story line when Booth and Cam go over to Iran to rescue him when things become complicated and scary. Plus, Booth’s gambling story line comes back to haunt him and Brennan, which I’m both looking forward to and not! I’ve seen the ep and loved it. It really was everything I’d hoped for and more, but I’m SO GLAD it isn’t the finale! *laugh*

On tonight’s episode, “The Murder in the Middle East,” when a powerful member of the Iranian parliament kidnaps Arastoo (guest star Pej Vahdat) to have him aid in a murder case, Booth and Cam head to Iran, and the rest of the Jeffersonian team must race against the clock to help expose the killer. Meanwhile, Brennan learns the truth about Booth’s growing gambling habit, and she turns to Aubrey for help to keep her and Christine safe from her husband’s menacing bookie.

See if Booth and Cam can save Arastoo and if Aubrey can keep Bones and Christine safe tonight on FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Beat Bobby Flay & Lip Sync Battle.

bones57smallLast week was another great episode of Bones. A TV celebrity chef was killed, and leads took Booth and Brennan to the Royal Diner. Thankfully, they were innocent. The killer turned out to be the chef’s producer, who was angry that the chef was looking to partner with someone new. The best part of the episode was Hodgins, who — after advice from squintern Jessica — invented a new product that protected beakers and other glass products from breaking. It could be used to wrap around breakable products or as flooring in case they’re dropped. Then he sold it…for forty million dollars to start out with. Crazy. That’s good for Hodgins & Angela, who lost all their money when Pelant stole it.

I’m worried about Booth and his gambling. I know it’s going to affect his relationship with Brennan, so I worry how much it’ll affect it, especially now with her being pregnant. Tonight’s two episodes should shed more light on it, but I’ve got my fingers crossed that it isn’t too bad!

On tonight’s first episode, “The Lost in the Found,” when the remains of a private high school student are discovered in a ditch, Brennan and Booth surmise that bullying was a factor. When Brennan discovers similarities between her own teen years and the victim’s, it leads the team to question whether or not the girl’s death was, in fact, a murder. Then on “The Verdict in the Victims,” with only 48 hours before the execution of serial killer Alex Rockwell, whom Brennan and Booth helped convict, the Jeffersonian team must race against the clock to confirm Brennan’s new suspicion that Rockwell may not have been responsible for those crimes.

To see Booth, Brennan, and the team solve the cases, tune in to FOX at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Big Bang Theory, Beat Bobby Flay, & Lip Sync Battle.

THE COMEDIANS -- Pictured: (L-R) Josh Gad, Billy Crystal. CR: Ray Mickshaw/FXTonight, FX kicks off the new comedy The Comedians. Comedy legend Billy (Billy Crystal) is reluctantly paired with young up-and-comer Josh (Josh Gad, 1600 Penn, Book of Mormon) to costar in their own late night sketch comedy show. The Comedians is a faux-documentary of what goes on on and off set of The Billy & Josh Show as egos and a generation gap cause the two stars to always be at odds with one another.

The series also stars Stephanie Weir (MADTV), Matt Oberg (Onion News Network), Megan Ferguson (Love & Other Drugs), and comes from writers/executive producers Larry Charles (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld), Matt Nix (Burn Notice), and Ben Wexler (Community, Arrested Development).

I am a big fan of Josh Gad and Billy Crystal’s past work, so I’m really excited to see how these two play off one another. From the ads, the series looks great — not only the show itself but also the sketches within the show within the show. The series also appears to have that same awkward sensibility of a show like Curb Your Enthusiasm, which I really enjoy. I can’t wait for tonight’s premiere!

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” Billy Crystal and Josh Gad are reluctantly paired together for a sketch show on FX.

Check out two great comedians tonight on FX at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Big Bang Theory, The Odd Couple, Grey’s Anatomy, Bones, and Dig.
