Bones - The Goop on the Girl, S05E10

Bones gave us a Christmas episode again this year, and though Santa Claus was involved, it was not as exciting as the year when Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) kissed under the mistletoe.

We had a special guest star - Zooey Deschanel, Emily Deschanel's sister. In the episode, she played Brennan's cousin, and everyone got to joke about how they looked so similar they could be sisters. Unfortunately, though cousin Margaret could be amusing with her dry quoting of Benjamin Franklin, and though it did reveal that Temperance is not so very different from her family, the only purpose for having her on the show was to get a guest spot from Zooey Deschanel. Which is too bad -they could have done much more with it.

And, despite getting to delight in watching Brennan strip Booth down to his boxers because his clothes were covered in evidence, as a Christmas episode it ended up being quite sad. A young man was blown up and his mother had to bury him on Christmas, alone. There is something very strange about being sent off to the holidays by a cast of crime solving characters, who have made me laugh so hard that I've cried, with a funeral.

And as we return this Thursday, we wonder if Booth and Brennan will finally get together, and more importantly if Hodgins (T J Thyne) and Angela (Michaela Conlin) will get back together.
