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

The show's witty, inventive writing would be fun even in the hands of a less capable cast.

Temperance Brennan was at times an amazing character, and at others a good one. Seely Booth is one of the best FBI agent or cop characters that has been on TV. The chemistry between the two leads, then the secondaries was remarkable. The show is a fun, smart crime show.

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.

Clings to proven formulas.

It's an (occasionally) frothy mix -- comedic moments tumble into serious scenes of forensic examination -- that's not altogether terrible, but neither does it beg to be watched on a regular basis.

It's as if we've all passed this way (many times) before and could write the dialogue, act the scenes, predict the outcome all in our sleep.

This is the highest degree of idiotic pseudoscience in existence. Tier S. It's so stupid, that they think mixing a strong acid with a strong base will dissolve a body. Actually, it is so idiotic that it's actually highly entertaining. I'm a trauma surgeon, and I shouldn't be amused by the stupidity engulfed in this show, but I am. Watching season two now. 5/7 would recommend.
