the possible leak in the FBI!!
This is really an unfulfilling episode, as not only does it end on
a "cliffhanger" which won't be resolved til the following year,
but the course of the whole show has taken a turn for the
worse, as it takes the focus off of the main reason for the
show to begin with!!!! Not a good ending to the season for
me!! B-

BONES AT COMIC-CON:
This unfortunately only has the writer, producer,
Emily and David!! Not sure why no one else showed
up here!! This has some moments of fun, but all-in-all
it's actually kinda boring!!!!
(Again, this says there are "Deleted Scenes", but there
isn't!!!)!!!!
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I love this show so much. It's so intelligent
and unlike anything you've seen before. You've
seen cop shows, you've seen crime shows, but
you've never seen a show where the bones are
the key to solving the mystery. With an array of
crimes, pretty much all involving murder, but you
can't be surprised, how can they solve crimes with
bones if nobody's dead? There are many different
main plots, going throughout the entire season.
There's Gormagon, The Gravedigger, Pelant and
many others. With gripping stories, love, loss and
babies, Bones has everything you could ever want.
Overall, I give this show a 9 out of 10. - Taylor Kingston
