Thursday, July 17. 2008Bones
In the past few months, I may have suggested to some of you that Bones was a TV show you should be watching. I believe I even told MG that it was better than a lot of the stuff I was already watching.
Well, I have just finished Season 03 of Bones, and I'd like to officially and publicly withdraw anything positive I may have said about this show. I cannot believe that they thought people would just accept their proposed "conclusion" to the season-long serial killer story line, and I will not be watching it if it returns to television this fall. It's AMAZING how quickly they were able to ruin this gem. If you had already started watching it on my recommendation, I apologize and suggest you redirect those energies elsewhere. I don't think anyone could find it a satisfying conclusion to what should have been a great TV show. Trackbacks

Wren on :
I used to love Bones, but about halfway through the second season, even, I found I just wasn't enjoying it as much as I had the first. I find that a lot of shows these days disintegrate with their second or third season and they just get worse, like Veronica Mars (FANTASTIC first season, everything else was a waste of time) Arrested Development (I just finished watching the third season, and it seemed like the writers were trying too hard there at the end) etc.
Ancient of Days on :
I actually enjoyed AD's entire run; I enjoyed all of Season 3 of Bones until the very last episode, which was fail. I enjoyed VMars with the exception of the last episode of Season 2. In both cases, I just can't accept their conclusions - Bones because they destroyed my favorite character, VMars because even after 3 complete re-watchings, I can't believe that I could be reasonably expected to come to the correct conclusion...but that's just me.
Sideshow on :
I'm going to have to sit down and Watch VMars Season 2 with you because there are plenty of clues.
Granted if you don't know what you are looking for you might not get it, but the clues are definitely there. Even as early as the second to last episode of Season 1. Sideshow on :
Couldn't disagree more. I personally liked the conclusion, though I wish it wouldn't have been hindered by the writer's strike, which helped add to the rushed feeling.
Better Than Heroes! on :
I passively watched Bones, but my wife loves it. I usually was in the room working on articles on my laptop while it was on, and I caught most of it. I was ok with he ending, but the twist seemed a little cheap.
However, no show has had such an epic downturn as Heroes. I mean, c'mon, the whole first season was building up to this massive firework display of a conclusion and we got treated to what was the equivalent of a pop-cap gun. Then, in season 2, it started rough and just dove off a freaking cliff with that annoying kid who could fly. I rarely (as in it hasn't happened before this) bail on a series, but I quit that one about 4 or 5 episodes in and have never gone back to catch up. The Mad Giggler on :
