I'll be back here in the Fall, when the premiere episode of the 10th season continues the story begun tonight. As Occupy Wall Street and the police response to it demonstrated, our law enforcement all too often steps on the lawful activity of citizens.Īgatha Christie mined this theme very well in The Secret Adversary nearly a hundred years ago (1922), and it's great to see Bones go in that direction now. Fighting against our government itself is quite another, and moves Bones into Bourne Conspiracy territory - or the show I'm going to watch right after I post this review, 24.Īnd I have sadly have little trouble believing that the FBI and our government could have within it some cowards, like Booth's superior, or people engaged in much worse.
Hunting down brilliant serial killers, including even one who was their intern at the beginning of the series, is one thing. I get completely why he didn't want Bones there, and Sweets wouldn't have lasted a minute, but surely he had some people with military prowess in the Washington area that he trusted and could call upon.Īs to the FBI and the conspiracy within our government, this is indeed a new and powerful tack for the series. More on that - and the government conspiracy - in a moment.įirst, I'm wondering why Booth didn't even make an attempt to get some military buddies into his fight with the Delta Force commandos sent to kill him. And Booth and Bones taken into custody in the hospital was one for the books, too. Bones outdid itself in tonight's Season 9 finale, with an episode that indeed changes everything, as the producers promised, and was one of the most exciting hours in the history of the series, too.īones bursting in and saving Booth with her gun was one of the all-time best scenes in the series, period.
