    It's a blast to watch Deschanel walk the line between broad comedy and complex emotion with growing scientific precision.

    Bones reunites its team of squints after a 7-month break, and as is often the case, the mystery that brings them back together takes a back seat to the enjoyable interplay of these eccentric, lovable characters.

    Tonight's episode is one of those typical season openers where the writers have to undo most of what happened in the previous season's finale, but Bones fans won't want to miss it.

    Each member makes a case for his or her status as the team's "linchpin," allowing the rest of us to see a little more about all, rather than the series' usual focus on Bones and Booth. A love letter to group synergy and the fruits of hard labor, the entire episode makes its own case for the team's existence. The whole is much greater than the sum of the parts.

    GREAT SHOW! i love it, its interesting, romantic,dramatic(in a way) not to mention educational. I never watched anything with dead in it but Bones seem to be a exception. The cast is very talented. I really hope there's going to be another season, i was shocked and thrilled at the season six finale, i can't wait . Best show ever… Collapse

    Great season so far! Plenty of funny moments and only a few cases had predictable outcomes. Only thing I disliked was the fact Bones and Booth are not together. At least Hannah. Booth's girlfriends earlier this season, is gone.… Expand

    A great season. I loved the storylines and cases as always, but I did feel the ending was quite disappointing. The penultimate episode was so good, yet so sad, and the finale, even with its interesting case, was ruined by the final scene. I understand why the writers decided to write this in, and I really hope they can muster up a good season 7, even with its reduced episode count due to 'The Finder' being picked up (which I didn't like and don't think I'll be watching when it is aired).… Expand

    Instead of coming up with a good plot all on their own, the unimaginative Bones writers took an age old soap opera story line and used that instead for their whole season 6 hook. And in doing so, they compromised the integrity of their male lead and the special bond the two main characters once had. It's been destroyed and its not something you can get back.… Expand
