Bones – Season 5 
A recurring theme in the first episodes is his recuperation, and the fact that he has to relearn things that he previously excelled at, such as sharp-shooting, and plumbing.
Brennan has not chosen one lab assistant from her batch of potentials, so the episodes are still operating with different assistants.
After the disaster that was season 3’s overall storyline, and Zach Addy ended in a mental hospital. Dr. Brennan was in need of a replacement lab assistant. Bones – Season 4 
Favourite quote
“Well that’s like me saying I don’t want to be a sexy FBI agent. We can’t change who we are.”
Booth after Brennan is having issues with being a writer.
The season starts with Booth and Brennan on a lecture tour in the UK. While there are some story lines coming back from previous seasons, such as the grave digger case returning – ending with the grave digger being caught, there are a lot more stand-alone episodes this season since the Gormagon arc was solved last season.
Favourite episode
The episode where Brennan decides that she wants Booth’s baby.
While I loved the above episode, having watched the seasons consecutively – it is such a change from season 1 Brennan. At certain moments, it felt a bit implausible. However, listening to her reasoning as to why, and have it be a part of her character development was fascinating.
The episode stopped the insemination from happening with Booth’s surgery, although his sperm is still frozen for possible future use.
Favourite moment
In the Norwegian Death Metal episode, Mayhem on a cross, there is a Norwegian word for skull. Brennan is correcting everyone on its pronunciation, and not perfectly.
Having an episode set partially in Norway was a fascinating thing to watch. The Norwegian dialogue was awkward and had probably gone through an automatic translator. But it is interesting to see one’s own country through the American television production.
The alternative episode after Booth’s surgery, where everything happens in a dream, and he is in love with Brennan.
Season 3 of Bones was cut a bit short due to the Writers’ strike. An additional episode from season 2 was included in the season.
Best moment
In the Christmas episode, Brennan and Booth apprehend the bad guy in a Santa temp agency. The surrounding Santas start singing: “You’d better watch out. You’d better not cry…” from Santa Claus is coming to town.

Unlike most of the other seasons, this only has 21 episodes. One was meant to air, but was held back due to the Virginia Tech shootings, as the episode dealt with finding human remains on the college campus. I recall that when the DVD came out, there was outrage online for the lack of the episode in the box set. The episode was later included in the following season.
While rewatching Bones, I was reminded of how much I love Temperance Brennan’s jewelry. Since I first watched it, I have noticed that parts of my own collection tend to go in a similar direction.
From the necklaces, which may be big and clunky or simpler silver, to an array of earrings – the jewelry gives a special touch. Her outfits are usually very classic lines and styles, so the more distinct jewelry gives it personality
The jewelry tend to have an ethnic slant, either tribal or celtic.
The big clunky necklaces don’t work on me, in my opinion, but I do love some dangly ear things.
I love How I Met Your Mother, and Robin Sparkles is a good part of the show’s backstory. It’s very 80s, but then it is meant to be just that. Enjoy.
