Review: The Pinocchio in the Planter



Gosh, I don't know where to start. I've watched this episode 3 times and it hasn't gotten any better. It was boring.

The case was lame. But I thought is was going to fulfill a greater good for the characters. To me it fell flat. Moments were missed. This episode had such potential and it failed to deliver (in my opinion).

Angela & Hodgins... not impressed.

Wendell... Actually this is the first episode I've liked with him since he and Angela got together.

Sweets... not bad this time.

Pirus ad... I didn't mind it this time because it fit Brennan's personality. But it was still OOC for Brennan to be driving. I miss Booth insisting on driving and Brennan saying, "I'm an excellent driver."

The final B&B Scene... WTH???



First the good part... When Booth said he knew where Bren's question was going, Bren touched his hand and mentioned the case was done so she wanted to know what he lied about. But.... Booth didn't confess to a lie. It wasn't even an omission. Now I do get the importance of what he said. He was able to mention Hannah's name without being angry. That's a step in the right direction. But it wasn't the pachyderm in the room. The good part was that Booth realizes that Bren was there for him the same way he was there for her after the 100th. B&B have never been good at telling each other how they feel for each other. I saw caring in their eyes, but I have yet to see ES or any of the chemistry they once had. And that is scary to me. Then Brennan says, "Some things are better left unsaid." And Booth says, "To things we don't say." WTH? Hasn't that been their problem all along? WTH???? I really liked the end of the last 2 episodes. B&B looked like they were flirting with each other, but last night's episode was back to the same old partner thing. It was a huge disappointment to me. I thought the point of Hannah was supposed to lead to something for B&B, but even with the blizzard episode, I'm starting to wonder if that will really happen. Last week, I was hopeful, this week, I'm skeptical that Iwill enjoy the finale



There were some good lines & parts though...

Wendell: Are you going to talk to her?
Hodgins: Of course not. She's pregnant. The hormones are running the institution.

I love Booth and Sweets' reaction to the video with the lady hitting the victim in the nose with the trophy.

I loved Angela's term, "shoe ceremony."

Booth: See that. Like your group says, It's always good to tell the truth."
Brennan: In her case, maybe not. (Love the look Booth gave her.)

Cam: There's also a new policy in the lab.
Brennan: What's that?
Cam: You're the only one who's allowed to be radically honest and that's only because I can't stop you.
