   The character dynamics hook audiences, the dark humor appeals, the cases are well-thought out, and the acting is superb on all aspects.

   The writing in this show is terrible, which just makes me even that much more impressed with David Boreanaz. He somehow manages to rise above the excessive mediocrity of this show.

More than that, it blatantly perpetrates the worst misconceptions about atheists: That not believing is the result of something 'being wrong' with the person; that atheists are cold, emotionless people who live unfulfilled lives devoid of any kind of warmth or happiness; that Brennan's non-belief has somehow limited her in her life, despite the fact that she's one of the most renowned and successful experts in her field.
   
   In the end, this episode, like so many before it, was nothing more than sloppy storytelling, lazy writing, and propaganda, plain and simple. And though I'm an atheist, I'm less offended by the (oh-so-common) prejudice against non-believers and more offended by the sheer absence of logical character behavior and progression.… Expand
