Bones: Season 5

The fifth season set includes a lot more extras than previous seasons: three featurettes, two extended episodes, episode commentaries, a gag reel and deleted scenes. It also includes all 22 episodes of season 5. SPOILER ALERT The season opens with the wonderful Cindy Lauper guest starring as a psychic, which was a treat. Booth realizes his romantic feelings for Bones, though he is unable to tell her, and he battles the aftereffects of his brain surgery. Arastoo "comes out" about his fake accent, as well as describing the relationship he feels exists between Islam and science. Diedrich Bader is Andrew Hacker, Assistant Director to the FBI, who gives a wonderful performance, especially in his frequent attempts to impress Bones, who he has a hopeless crush on. We get to meet Booth's grandfather, who reveals a secret to Bones and encourages her to tell Booth "when the time is right." Zooey Deschanel (Emily Deschanel's real-life sister) guest stars as Bones' cousin in one episode. Angela and Wendell begin a relationship, though it ends pretty quickly, and a few episodes after that Angela and Hodgins finally get married (just like we knew they always would.) Cam finally begins dating, and the Grave Digger trial concludes with the Grave Digger being convicted and sent to jail. MORE SPOILER ALERTS The 100th episode (or episode 16 of season 5), Booth finally professes his feelings to Bones. It's also the first Bones episode that is directed by David Boreanaz. It's mostly flashback, and we get to see the first time Bones and Booth work together, but the flashbacks don't feel like filler (as a lot of flashback episodes are.) Bones declines, and their relationship stays the same, though slightly more awkward in following episodes. It's a good episode, and we even get to see Zack again, in his role as Bones' grad student. There's a lot of great story arcs in this season, and the season finale is done very well, opening up lots of new possibilities for the next season.

I absolutely love this show. It might be the most amazingly well-crafted t.v. show ever, along many dimensions. I agree with all of the positive comments of other reviewers. I don't have one negative comment to make, even though, I, too, miss Zach and thought he was a terrific character, well-acted. I even think the Daisy character provides an important role in the balance of the cast, as long as she is not there all the time. No show is complete without little jabs from a distracting annoyance. (Remember Eddie Haskell on "Leave it to Beaver?") On the other hand, EVERY review that I read left out what, to me, may be the most important dimension of the show. The unspeakable gore and horrifying plots would be meaningless and perhaps sadistic if regarded as entertainment alone. The scientists, each using his or her unique area of expertise, employ the most subtle of clues to recreate an individual's identity and dignity. In addition, often the victim's family and friends are able to obtain closure on the person's disappearance and death. It is a story with a noble theme. The acting, the characters, the group and individual dynamics, the continuing subplots, and the humor are absolutely extraordinary. Those attributes would be seriously compromised almost to the point of superficiality, however, without the serious outcome of the lab's work. The lab's skill and commitment provide the viewer with the powerful experience of redemption as the horror becomes gradually transformed into dignity. To me, that element is the absolute core of the series. Everything else is built around it. I can't wait until Season 5 is available and until Season 6 begins.

While Season Five of the fabulous Forensic Crime Comedy/Drama, "Bones" doesn't offer a unique 'forties'-style film noir finale (the Season Four final episode was in a brilliant class by itself), in many ways, Season Five has been the most enjoyable, entertaining season, yet, and I can offer five GREAT reasons why you need it in your DVD library! 1. The Plotlines: Psychics, mysterious couriers, prodigies, neighborhood wars, chicken-men, dwarf wrestlers...victims, suspects, and witnesses seldom get more fascinating than on "Bones", and this only covers the first half-dozen episodes of the season! Motives are frequently unexpected, even weapons can be surprising! Superior writing has always set this show apart, and this season is no exception...from an Egyptian Pharaoh, to an alien (the flying saucer kind), to yet another dead Santa, to a JFK autopsy, there's never a dull corpse for the Bones team! 2. The Chemistry: It's easy to take it for granted that a beautiful girl and hunky guy starring in a long-running series will be bedmates after a season or two (many shows even advertise the sex more than the storylines), but "Bones" creator, Hart Hanson, knows that the electricity between Brennan and Booth works best because their attraction is (as yet) unfulfilled. It gives their friendship a wry humor and wisdom much more mature than most TV couples share. But if you want more sexuality, "Bones" Season Five has it, too, with the frequently carniverous relationship between intern Daisy, and shrink, Sweets, and, my favorite couple, artist Angela, and bug-guy, Hodgins (which takes a FABULOUS turn in Season Five, that had me cheering!) And for balance, there is beautiful Cam, dealing with motherhood issues with a strong-willed teen, and sarcastic, wise Caroline, who sees and understands EVERYTHING, and impatiently waits for everybody else to catch up! Add Booth's matchmaking grandpa, an appearance by Brennan's ex-con dad, and the other terrific rotating interns to the mix (Wendall even has a fling with Angela!), and this is a recipe that can't be beat... 3. The Humor: Every episode has at least one very funny subplot, as well as the constant stream of one-liners; among my Season Five favorites are Booth beating up the midget wrestler in the ring (while being booed!), Brennan's High School reunion (a near-parody of every high school slasher film), with guest star 'Freddy Kruger', himself, Robert Englund, a very amusing flashback of the very first case of Booth and the 'Squints' (with the welcome return of Eric Millegan as Zack Addy), and another episode with a very funny subplot of the guys waiting in line for tickets to "Avatar" (even funnier because Joel Moore, playing intern Colin Fisher, is actually in the film!)... 4. Returning Villains: One of the BEST series' villains, the Gravedigger, returns (and in a logical context, at the trial), in one of the scariest episodes of the entire series...I was actually shook, watching it, expecting something horrible as a resolution! Bravo! 5. The Season Finale: Beautiful and bittersweet, with so many loose ends tied up that many series' fans were actually afraid that the series itself was ending! Will Cam be left alone, as everyone ponders leaving the Jeffersonian to fulfill their own dreams? I loved it! Season Five is simply awesome! Don't wait five more minutes, buy it! :)

great series, should have waited until the complete series was available

This has been my favorite show from day one. I love every season of it. I wasn't even bothered when zach left, I really was never that big of a fan of the charactor. I always thought he was boring, and when he came back in three I thought the charactor didn't serve the purpose that he'd served in the first two seasons. but i think the show has actually gotten better without him. bringing cam on was a brilliant choice in two and I love Sweets. although even though I love every season I will say that so far the last three seasons have been dynamite..(I can't pick just one,Lol) but five was just amazing. the 100th episode proved to the best acted, best written episode of the series. and they remembered history. and although I'm a fan of booth and bones as a coupling. I'm not an obsessed fan that gets upset or threatens not to watch if they do something that I don't understand. Like everyone complained about the finale of four. but the finale of four had a really great outcome in five. just like people are complaining on other boards about the finale of five. I loved it. I loved everything about it. mostly, I loved it because it's so romantic. and you know their going to come back together, closer than ever. even if they come back with opposite others. it's going to bring them together. but anyway, I really enjoyed five. maybe in six everybody is going to see her fighting for him for a change. afterall, in season five he'd fought for her all season long. I think that would be an appropriate change of events. Booth, coming back with a new girl, bones, jealous. her fighting for him to see her and take her like he'd wanted all along. that's what real romance novels and movies are made of. whether it lasts a long time or not. and you know, if it was fast or predictable when things would happen, the show wouldn't be so addicting.

This is not a review on the dvd as it doesn't come out until Oct. I got my husband hooked as we watched all Bones dvd series and hated when season 4 ended. i had watched most on tv except some years they kept moving it around and I lost track of when it was on. that said i could watch episodes over and over. Season 5, I watched all episodes on tv. This is mostly comments on the Booth and Bones relationship. All the episodes before the big break were excellent and satisfying. David especially has absolutely portrayed spot on Booth's love for Temperance. (have loved David B. since Angel--he has grown so much as an actor). All these episodes built up to the fact that Booth and Bones were in love. Booth knew it. It was a relief when Sweets had Booth admit it. On the other hand, Bones was given subtle hints and you thought she was going to "get" it. The episode with Ralph Waite as Booth's grandfather was very touching and enjoyable. Now after the break, the first episode after was so boring I thought they lost the momentum built up before the break (sorry dont know the name) and the episode telling how they first met---i thought it was bs. it was done to show booth and bones were attracted to each other at the beginning--- that's not what i remember from season 1. I personally did not like it-- too exaggerated and extreme -- esp Angela.s character. But thankfully after that the rest of the episodes were excellent. Except for one thing-----Tempe should have said more to Booth about her feelings. I agree with one poster who said this is wearing thin. You have to get the characters together and use your writing skill to keep the show as good as it is now. You can't keep going with their friendship knowing that Booth is so in love with Tempe and she is too afraid to have that even though we all know she loves him. It won't work. I hope season 6 recognizes this. I too find Daisy annoying--do not know why Sweets and Daisy getting engaged was a big deal. it wasn't. I too want Zach back. He was part of that team. And I'm glad they brought back Ryan O'Neal as Tempe's dad for a few episodes---love that character.

Love it

SEASON2がブレナンの恋人が酷くて、SEASON3がまあまあでSEASON4の出だしがSEXフレンドの登場と散々だったがこのSEASON5は楽しく見られえた。

A great season. 22 intriguing cases - forensic procedures continuing to fascinate, a charismatic cast, sparkling scripts heavily laced with humour rendering more palatable the gore. Deliberately designed to shock, the opening "puke time" sequences include cats gorging on a corpse, human remains under a barbecued pig, a disintegrating body whirling in an industrial washing machine. In a Christmas special Santa explodes - gobbets of flesh hurtling in all directions, an eyeball heading straight for the camera. Much work lies ahead for the world's leading forensic laboratory! David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel still shine as Booth and Brennan - he almost recovered from his brain tumour operation; she unswervingly methodical, people skills limited to those that are dead. (At High School she was known as "the creepy girl". When asked about her feelings for Booth, she concedes "the symmetry is pleasing".) They remain one of television's most inspired and unlikely partnerships. Highlights are many. Ep.3 - How can a person with all the attributes of one raised in the 1800's have died just two months ago? (The answer is greatly moving.) Ep.11 - The corpse an alien? (Amusing digs at "The X Files".) Ep.12 - Just whose bones are those necessitating armed guards and a laboratory shutdown? Ep.15 - Earth tremors provoke possible life-changing decisions for psychologist Sweet. Most chilling? Ep.21 - Trial of the psychopath who nearly killed three of the team, two still having nightmares after being buried alive. David Boreanaz directs Ep.16, the show's 100th - a flashback to when Booth and Brennan met (and a welcome chance to see again the ill-fated Zach). Incidental pleasures? Stephen Fry, his psychiatrist character now a chef. Ralph Waite guesting as Booth's grandfather (a blast from the past for fans of "The Waltons"). Oh, and watch out for what Brennan does to the judge who annoys her! All the way through, there is much to enjoy. A series cannot run for ever. Too many linger - with diminishing returns. It heartens to see BONES still going strong - in itself a tribute to the talents involved.

très satisfaite

Bones is an extraordinary TV serial that mixes the science, technology, brilliance and relationship and keeps the viewers engaged. The team work demonstrated in solving the crimes needs good appreciation in spite of difference of opinions. Some of the scenes are inappropriate for indian children. Parental guidance is required for < 15 years old.

es una serie que lo tiene todo su parte de comedia y su parte seria y siempre con datos correctos
