Hi! First post here! If it’s not appropriate for this sub let me know and I’ll take it down. I’m getting married in January and am a die hard bones fan. I am trying to come up with good wedding music from important moments in bones. Unfortunately the intro/outro don’t fit well into anything lol
So far the songs I’m aware of
Seal- Kiss from a summer rose (booth and bones had a romantic slow dance at bones reunion S5E17 and I’m thinking first dance maybe?) Hot blooded- foreigner (booth karaoke sang it to bones in S3E13 and he sang it again to her at rocker camp in S5E19, and said it was ‘their song’. It may show up again later but I’m not sure Coconut- Harry Nillson (go to funeral song for important recurring side characters but is cute and upbeat)
In Law & Order: SVU, episode 22x14, we revisit an old case. Henry Messner has turned 18 and one of the psychiatrists is played by Deirdre Lovejoy!
In the middle of the Pelant storyline and my god I forgot how long this storyline is. Way too long. I love a good villain but man one ep of him was more than enough for me.
Booth & Rebecca won Most Toxic with 336 individual votes & upvotes.
The Runner ups were:
Howard & Caroline Epps with 195.
Angela & her husband with 176.
Michelle & Derek with 157.

Now which romantic couple had the most fun?
She makes every damn thing about her. Insufferable
I'm doing a rewatch and I'm so upset for sweets with Gordon Gordon putting his business out there to bones and booth and then pushing it even further while they're interviewing the murder suspect.
Why why whyyyyy? Again, I’ve seen this show many times but EVERY TIME! I cry. He was such a good guy .. WHYYYY? 😭❤️
I’m watching Bones on Disney plus for the first time in a while, since I leant out my box set to a friend. I’m noticing in almost every episode the music the original show played for montages etc is different in the Disney version and the old song lyrics can actually be seen in the subtitles as the new song plays… I’m assuming this is because of copyright issues and modernization purposes but has anyone else noticed any other changes? Might be interesting to see what they’ve changed
(Don’t worry we all know the OG was better)
Random Chuck Liddell appearance in season 9. Hasn't aged anywhere as badly as name dropping Elon Musk in Star Trek, but its still pretty jarring to see him pop up as a suspect and playing himself no-less
I just finished my first rewatch and I got to thinking about how Brennan supposedly is writing these wildly successful murder mystery books that everyone loves! Even before she falls in love or anything. They literally travel out of the country and everyone there are huge fans. It doesn’t make any sense. ( I get the show is based on books and a real woman too and maybe that’s why they added it to the plot) How can a woman who can’t have a single normal conversation without insulting someone or not understanding nuance write book after book the world loves?! She doesn’t know any common phrases or sayings, she doesn’t understand basic humor. I can see if it was for a scientific journal, but her character writing a book common people understand with quirks,love stories, and easy to follow plots …not likely. I know Angela adds the spicy parts, but IMO you’d need a lot more than that for her to produce a book everyone could understand and enjoy.
Angela & Hodgins won Shouldn’t have happened with 1,068 upvotes & individual votes. In second place, Cam & Booth with 365.

Now which romantic couple was the most toxic?
So I'm doing a rewatch and in the beginning Zack doesn't drive, even telling Booth "if you knew what I did about cars, you wouldn't drive either." But then in season 3 ep 8 Zack is driving a motorcycle. If he didn't trust cars, there's no way he'd drive a motorcycle? Did I miss something or did they make a mistake?
So I’ve seen a bunch of episodes here and there but never actually watched from beginning to end. I know Bones and Booth get together but my god how long are they dragging it out?? I’m currently on S4. Very much enjoying the show. Zach was a total surprise! Can’t wait for Hodgins to marry Angela too, poor guy is so depressed. Dreading the episode where we lose Sweets.
Now we all know I don't like Cam, but this episode really burns my bread.
Arastoo wants to visit his dying brother in Iran and all Cam is thinking about is herself. When Arastoo tells her he loves her, she throws it back in his face "I don't know what that means right now". Idk man, maybe support your partner who's brother could realistically die?
Funnily enough, I’m doing another rewatch of Bones. After work today I turned it on and this was the first episode to play. Also it was cool to see Brennan scared. 🤣🐍🐍
I’m watching Bones for the first time through and I’m on season 8 episode 16 which involves teenagers.
A teenage girl comes in to talk to Sweets and tells him she was raped. Before she tells him she asks if he is not allowed to tell anyone else. He says “not exactly” since he isn’t her psychologist, but encourages her to trust him and keep going. After she tells him she was raped he maybe says 1 or 2 things before running off, telling Booth and Brennan, and then contacting local authorities and her mom.
I was absolutely appalled at how Sweets handled this. I’m no psychologist, but I do work in social work and understand informed consent and confidentiality. I get that Sweets was not her psychologist and is with the FBI, but he did an absolutely terrible job explaining anything to this teenage girl before completely destroying her trust.
I’m not sure what legal responsibilities Sweets has regarding informed consent/confidentiality as a psychologist with the FBI focused on solving crimes, but ethically it is very messed up how Sweets handled this. He should have explained in no uncertain terms what could happen with the information she gave him before he let her continue. And afterwards he should have explained how he legally had to report it before just running out of the room. Rape victims have enough difficulty confiding in people, and now it’s likely that the teenage girl will never trust another psychologist/therapist/etc.
I know that this is all fake and just a TV show, but it makes me mad how terribly such a difficult situation was handled. I’m not sure it’s necessarily out of character for Sweets since his ethics don’t seem to match what is typical for his profession anyway, but it definitely makes me like his character way less. The writing in general for this episode is pretty terrible.
Booth & Brennan won with 565 individual votes & upvotes. They won in a landslide and there wasn’t really a second place.
DISCLAIMER: The votes are decided by the community. You’re allowed to disagree but please do not complain. This is a fun little game. I cannot change the results as doing so would be dishonest.
Now which romantic couple shouldn’t have happened?
Is anyone interested in having a thread for each podcast ep?
While I think we can all agree it isn’t really a rewatch podcast, I’m personally enjoying the behind the scenes tea and info they’re sharing. They’ve been pretty open about criticising some things opening up about things not being perfect in the beginning.
My two take aways from Harts ep are A) I hope they bring him back because they barely got past the pilot/season 1. I’ve always wanted his thoughts on s5/s6. I remember a rumour back in the fandom days that they were meant to get together at the end of s5 but the studio said no…
B) The honesty around how hard Emily found that first season is refreshing. I did laugh at how they cracked up over Hart having to speak to her about being late and her saying she cried like a cartoon character.
Mine is either the Street Sweeper with Murr and Sal from the Impractical Jokers, or the Pin Setter on that one kids birthday. "I'll behave, I'll behave!!" is something I quote a lot lol
I know opinions are pretty divided on Hannah. I’ve always been on the “Hannah sucks” side. She just annoyed me.
However I’ve been doing a rewatch of her season and I never thought I’d say this but Hannah isn’t that bad. She’s actually a pretty good friend to Bones and really makes an effort with everyone.
What I realized is it’s not so much that I don’t like Hannah - It’s that I don’t like booth when he’s with Hannah. I don’t like how he acts - he turns into that annoying bf guy.
Like when he’s trying to push Hannah & Parker together. She keeps trying to tell him how shes worried and instead of talking about it he just keeps telling her “you’ll be great” “ofc he’ll love you”
He also seems to disregard Hannah telling him she’s all about her career & doesn’t want to get married. He still assumes if he asks she’ll say yes.
Hannah & Booth. I’m watching 6x16 & at the part with booth yelling at sweets to stop talking about Hannah … I truly feel like Booth thinks Hannah was the one who got away and that’s why he got so angry. I love booth and bones 1000% , but I’m rewatching and it seems like he was so much happier with Hannah than with Bones. idk maybe I’m stupid
Rewatch: YAYYYYY! Sweets! ❤️ finally he has made his appearance! S3 E4
It is called "Continue. " Actually spelled "Cont;nue". It blew me away. Just got done watching it on Prime Video. It was limited released September 6. It's not a happy movie. A major theme is suicide. The acting seems great to me.
My god That was a masterpiece of TV
