The Verdict in the Story Mini-Picspam
I don't watch Bones for the cases, the science, or the legalese, all of which are sometimes often laughably unrealistic. The characters and the character interactions are what keep me coming back for more -- it's as simple as that. I loved The Verdict in the Story precisely because it delivered on those things. No, I didn't think it was the best Bones episode ever, but I liked it enough to consider writing meta for it. But then I decided to do something a little different and post some edited caps -- with minimal commentary -- and save the verbiage for fic. Sometimes a pic really is worth a thousand words. ;)
So, here in no particular order are 18 things I liked about Verdict and 2 I didn't:
1. 
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
[Max and Brennan kill me. The father - daughter chemistry is lovely.]
9.
[Yeah, it's insane that Max Keenan's free, but it did give us a nice Brennan/Max moment and open up possibilities for future storylines.]
10.
[Go watch this scene again. That's all I have to say.]
11.
[I know there are people who don't see any chemistry between these two, but to me, this looks like love.]
12.
13.
[Can we keep Russ on the show as a regular?]
14.
[Jack Hodgins, bringing the pretty.]
15.
16.
17.
18.
19.
20.
[The head-tilt made me smile.]

I liked the court room however unrealistic the presentation. I would have preferred less of Sweets - he's become the Sully of Season 3- in this episode but otherwise there were good performances all round.
Russ will have to go back to prison won't he or is his parole thing finished? Anyway there's the family with the little girls to consider. But he could come back.
As for the look of love; he appreciates her sacrifice. I loved the brains and heart motif. Trust Booth to think of that.

Russ doesn't have to go back to prison - he got 30 days for his parole violation back in The Knight on the Grid, so he's out of jail, with an extra 18 months tacked onto his parole, but still, a free man. I have long thought that Loren Dean is a seriously underrated actor, and I would be okay with seeing more of Russ. I think I'm a little maxed out (Ha! See what I did there?) on Max, though - a little Ryan O'Neal goes a LONG way.

Hee hee! I get it and I'm with you on Ryan O'Neal. Of course I can go all the way back to Peyton Place with him and I have to say he is a one-dimensional performer.
Thanks for sorting out the Russ scenario for me.

I no longer expect legal or scientific realism in Bones. *g*
Sweets is an annoying twit. I'm hoping he gets eaten by Gormogon.

I think it's more than that -- but I am definitely biased! ;)

Yes, that was very appropriate. It reminded me a little bit of this sentence -- "Her brain, his heart, and maybe together they're enough," from Four Places... (http://lerdo.livejournal.com/tag/four+places).
It's going to be a long summer!
