Bones: The Passenger in the Oven

[only_more_love]

*sigh*  I wish there had been more continuity between Con Man and this episode.  Some fallout would have been appropriate. 

There was stuff I liked:  the older woman who was a Temperance Brennan fan, how ridiculous Brennan looked in those glasses, that puzzled look on her face as she shook out her hair, and Hodgins asking Cam if it meant something that Angela and Roxie had packed one bag for their getaway.  (Although, given that in Death in the Saddle Brennan mentioned having indulged in role play, I think it's possible she would have understood what Booth was not-so-subtly hinting here.  But sometimes I think they're writing her as becoming more clueless the further we get into the show...)

I have to say, I've loved the Cam and Hodgins scenes we've been getting lately.  Not in a shippy, I-want-them-to-make-out-and-declare-their-undying-love kind of way.  They just play off each other so nicely; there's a burgeoning friendship there.  I've thought for a while now that Tamara Taylor is just a great actress.  She -- and Cam -- have really come into their own.  Watching her is truly a pleasure, and TJ's always been awesome.    

So I thought this episode was OK.  It left me feeling a little blah, on the whole.  That's fine; I don't expect any show to always be stellar.  But I did feel a bit disappointed.

I've been loving the Cam/Hodgins scenes, too! Particularly, for the reasons you've listed. I'm not sure when, but Cam really came around to me and I'm finding I love her more and more each week.

I agree about this sort of feeling disconnected from "Con man" (maybe as other's pointed out this is because Fox messes with the airing order, which is just idiotic. Not to mention annoying), but I still enjoyed it. I loved Brennan actually shaking out her hair (though as you point they seem to be making her more clueless and that's annoying) and their end scene. Random scene I enjoyed: the Squints getting called back to the lab. Idk, I think I just liked seeing everyone out of their work clothes!

Anyhow, not an amazing top five episode, but not an abysmal one either.

PS---Your music selection rocks! I'm totally going to listen to that CD because I haven't in awhile and now I really want to.

It's actually not a result of airing it out of order. This one was supposed to follow the last, according to 206_bones. So they've really got no excuse. :/

And for me, the only thing that redeemed the episode was Cam and Hodgins's fantastically tight biking shirt. Other than that, I thought it was awful. But to each their own. :)

Well, that's just....blech.
