Bones - The Dwarf in the Dirt, S05E07

Bones is back, baby, with an episode that reminded me exactly why I love this show.

It started with a body, as is typically the case. This body had green bones, was smallish, and was at the end of a rainbow. Yes, it was the body of a leprechaun. Did I mention the gold coins in close proximity to the remains?
Now, I'm sure you will say, well it wasn't actually a leprechaun, but you would be wrong. It was a leprechaun - the Iron Leprechaun, a popular midget wrestler.

While the case was followed carefully, which I am also adamant should occur, we had some great Bones(Emily Deschanel)/Booth (David Boreanaz) chemistry and development. And we had my favourite guest star - Stephen Fry as Gordon, Gordon Wyatt.

Booth is beginning to recognize that his feelings from Brennan are real and genuine, not caused by his brain tumor. He simply can't tell her for fear of scaring and hurting her. So we have now entered the phase where our hero knows he wants the girl, knows the chemistry is there, but has to proceed carefully so that he does not end up destroying her instead of claiming her.
It's a nice change from the will they/won't they. And it puts a little bit more of a timeline on the entire thing.

So Bones is rocking, particularly with the line of one of the wrestlers who was afraid that Booth would send him back to Canada, to Sudbury of all godforsaken places. What did you think?
