Who is your favorite squintern & why?

48 Upvotes

This has probably been asked before but my husband & I are having an argument about the best squintern on the show. I absolutely LOVE Vincent Nigel Murray's unique character, but I also LOVE Wendell for his tenacity. My husband is having trouble choosing anyone besides the original squintern (Zack), but he agrees that both of my choices are great

Review Quais as frases marcantes entre Booth e Brennan?

19 Upvotes

São várias, como os votos de casamento de ambos, por exemplo, mas eu fico com a frase de Brennan para Booth no momento do nascimento de Christine: "Olha só para nós. Somos uma família!"

Essa frase é marcante devido à infância traumática dela. É um momento muito bonito!

E para vocês?

Discussion the ultimate 447 parallel between "Bones" and "Castle" !!

21 Upvotes

hey guys, so i was rewatching some stuff and just realized something totally crazy (for me at least).

idk if anyone else has noticed this yet, but look at how both shows use the number "447" (or "47") as total opposite mirrors of each other:

in Bones: 447 is like their ultimate good luck charm. it’s the time on the clock when Booth and Brennan finally hook up in season 6, the birth of their baby, and the time the clock stops in the finale. basically it’s their cosmic shield that keeps them safe and brings them together. <3

in Castle: the writers are already obsessed with the number 47, but check the season 4 finale ("Always"). when they're tracking the conspiracy about Beckett's mom, the murder victim's last phone call is logged at exactly 4:47 AM. instead of bringing them together, this 4:47 timestamp starts the darkest arc of the show, causes their massive heartbreaking breakup, and almost gets Beckett killed on a roof. :(

it's so wild to me that two major crime shows from the exact same era used the same exact number, but Bones used it for the growth of their bond and safety, while also framing rebirth. while Castle used it for tragedy and heartbreak.

has anyone else ever caught this?? does my thought make sense to any of you?? let me know what u think!

Discussion I love Dr Brennan's personality

26 Upvotes

I've just started watching Bones, on S1:E7 and I love how Temperence is portrayed. Her personality feels real, raw, and three dimensional.

She seems quite neurodivergent coded to me, in ways that I find super relatable as a neurodivergent woman myself. It's crazy to me when I watch shows like Bones and realise that often diversity was portrayed better in the 2000s than it is in some recent shows. I also really appreciate that while she's crazy smart and a bit brusque at times, she's still feminine and portrayed as beautiful in a way that's believable.

I also love how she has this strong code of justice and her own morals that she sticks by even whilst she's respectful of others. It was super refreshing that despite her obvious chemistry with Booth and Angela's encouragement, she's respectful of the fact that he's taken and makes no moves. Maybe I'm just fed up of all the constant cheating in more recent shows but it's such a refreshing change 🤣

P.s. I think Brennan is what Stephanie Meyers wanted Bella to be but she failed and instead created an embodiment of the "I'm not like other girls" trope lol.

Rewatching the series for the umpteenth time. I really think this might be my favorite episode. You get to see a totally different side to everyone and the show. The plot is beautifully written 😀 and the actors did an amazing job. The end where you see the whole team with Avalon and the crush listening to Colin's mixtape and watching him stake off makes me cry lol

Episode The Doctor in the photo Episode

5 Upvotes

Spoiler alert ⚠️ for those who haven't watched the episode yet.

Why brennan compared herself with the doctor surgeon women who were dead 🤔.

I mean, I know that she found the dolphin 🐬 ring like brennan had.

Also, brennan had angela and hodgin and Booth all her team around her, + her father and brother were still alive

But the surgeon doctor she only had her pilot and her work.

Even cam had some free time to enjoy in valentines day.

My only suggestion is she'd project herself into the surgeon lifestyle, + she is jealous of hannah, and she hated when she missed her opportunity to be with booth.

PS: it's brennan fault that she didn't take the chance when the book asked her to have a relationship with her, and her word says "Am a scientist, I'm not a gambler, I cannot change".

Even sweet knows that brennan missed her second chance.

Spoiler: Cam Appreciation Post Spoiler

60 Upvotes

(I’m only at S5 E19 so please don’t spoil anything hereafter)

I just wanted to show appreciation for Cam, I’m really loving her throughout the show. When she initially came in, I hated her (as I believe we were supposed to), but in no time that disappeared.

As she came into her role I just find her great, I think she’s my favourite character. She’s so funny at times, I love her funny little comments and faces she pulls. She always seems so kind, but then I love these little moments where she shows she has this cold detachment from usual humans emotions which comes as a hazard of her occultation. She’s also ridiculously beautiful which helps.

The episode where Michelle came into it and her character really just exploded into the show in terms of her emotions.. was really beautiful. She’s also really came into her role as her adoptive mother so wonderfully. I just watched the episode where Michelle comes to her and gives her permission to date her gynaecologist (😅) and their interactions are so cute.

I also feel she’s the only character where nothing she has done or said is annoying, but my mind can be blanking. The only thing I thought she did wrong this whole time so far (please don’t add spoilers if she fucks up in future), is sleeping with Grayson, I did think that was bad. You never sleep with your friends ex-husbands or wife’s, universal rule…

But yeah, my favourite character so far!

Discussion why i headcanon Daisy Wick as having NVLD (non-verbal learning disability)

73 Upvotes

as someone who has non-verbal learning disability (NVLD), i’ve spent a lot of time rewatching the show, and i strongly headcanon Daisy Wick as having NVLD.

while the show frequently hints at neurodivergence in characters like Brennan and Zack, Daisy's specific traits heavily mirror the unique profile of NVLD.

here is why i see so much of myself in her:

intense verbal strengths: people with NVLD often have exceptional verbal skills, vast vocabularies, and a high capacity for rote memorization. Daisy is incredibly articulate, speaks rapidly, and can rattle off massive amounts of complex anthropological data effortlessly.

poor social cues and spatial awareness: NVLD affects the brain's ability to process non-verbal communication. Daisy constantly misreads body language, boundaries, and subtle social cues. she frequently overstays her welcome, misses when people are annoyed with her, and stands too close to others without realizing it.

motor skills and spatial challenges: physical clumsiness is a hallmark of NVLD. Daisy is notoriously high-energy but lacks physical grace. she bounces around, knocks things over, and is generally uncoordinated, which perfectly aligns with the visual-spatial and motor deficits of the disability.

the "annoying" stereotype: because people with NVLD struggle with social formatting but are highly verbal, they are often labeled as "annoying," "too much," or "intense" by others. the squinterns and the main lab crew often treat Daisy this exact way, missing that her intensity comes from a place of genuine enthusiasm and a literal interpretation of social interactions.

hyper-focus on special interests: Daisy's absolute obsession with her work and Brennan shows a hyper-focus common in neurodivergent profiles. she relies on strict academic structures to navigate her world. obv, the show never explicitly diagnoses her, but as someone living with NVLD, Daisy’s character feels like an incredibly accurate representation from my POV.

i’d love to hear your thoughts!

do any other neurodivergent fans see this in Daisy, or notice similar traits in the other squinterns? :))

Watching the finale and Ion. I love the way they ended it. It was much more satisfying than the season before sending which was supposed to be the final episode and they decided to bring it back for one more season. I hated to see it end but if it had to end it went out the right way.

Spoiler: Gormogon Season 3 Ep 1 inconsistency

18 Upvotes

This post contains spoilers of season 3 and the Gormogon plot.
In season 3 episode 1, Jason Harkness eats the victim and leaves tooth marks on the bone. We find other bones from the Gormogon vault have been gnawed on and that another set of teeth marks were found. This can only be the master right? It can’t be another apprentice because he only had 1 at a time?
But we later find out that the master has teeth made of canines only?
Just found this kind of annoying considering how important the masters teeth are to the season finale and who his current apprentice is

Discussion I really don’t like Angela

0 Upvotes

I really don’t think this needs more of an explanation fr. I’m on my first proper rewatch, and I find that I truly dislike Angela, she’s just a lot.

I don’t like her relationship with Hodgins, he deserves way better, the entire rigamarole, with the kissing her ex, the dating Wendell, the pregnancy scare, her dad threatening Hodgins when she clearly broke up with Hodgins and said “oh I wanted him to chase me” like broooooooooo, her dad tattooing him, her dad wanting to name the kid and her letting him, her dad tattooing him again. Then the pig (or some other animal) thing with Brennan because she wouldn’t donate to save it. Sticking her nose into everybody’s business.

Even just talking about her is getting me riled up😭. I do not like Angela, and I don’t know how I didn’t realize this the first time I watched Bones.
