  • 3.11 Player Under Pressure

    So this is a bit late, but what did you guys think of last week's looong (a year long!) awaited episode? I personally liked it better than last week and enjoyed it, though I've heard others not so much. Do you think after seeing it that it still should have been pulled?

    Here's my review:

    I must say, I was quite pleased by this week's epp! I thought it was much better than last week's in terms of humor, drama, and the case itself--which IMO was a little less obvious than last week's....sure, I thought the cop might be the killer when Booth first noticed his ring, but then in the course of the epp I thought it was someone else, so....and I thought this was a more entertaining case as far as solving it as well--all the interviews with students ("this is a terrible university!" "how did this boy get into college?" lol Brennan!), the lipstick thing, another of Hodgins' and Zack's wacky experiments in the lab going wonky (Cam sure didn't look happy!), Hodgins pureeing maggots in Cam's blender from the kitchen (how hilarious was that exchange, esp. Hodgins' nonchalant, "I'll rinse it!"?!), etc. Plus the whole Angela/Cam storyline was priceless....I wasn't expecting that twist as to why Cam was acting that way! This episode just makes me love Cam so much, which is funny because I used to hate her so much....but really, once she got her paws off Booth and intergrated into the team she's a nice addition to the cast....and I love how Angela actually liked their sex vid! So good squint action this epp, and then awesome B/B action too--I thought their interactions were much more natural and normal this episode than last week, much less forced--but then again, this is a season TWO epp--from when they were writing the relationship much better as I said. I liked how there was a genuine conflict between them, and how it was resolved with her explanation in one of their wonderful heart-to-hearts at the diner in the end that have been missing this season (what happened to that place anyway?! They need to go there more!)--how sweet and "awww"-worthy was it when Brennan pointed out that she knew he was different from those other jocks because he still remembered that first girl's name?! I miss this kind of feel between them....and I thought the very last scene when Brennan at the last minute keeps the guy from shooting himself was quite exciting! I can see I suppose now why they pulled the epp because of VT with a scene like that, though I find it ironic that the murder itself wasn't even done with a gun! I still wish we could have seen the damn Hodgela proposal though--they better include in on the DVD in the special features! (Though it really belongs on the season 2 DVD with the other proposals and marriage....).
    Promise that you'll return to me.

    I agree with much of what you wrote and I don't feel like typing a bunch of thoughts but I just have to say....

    Why the hell was this ep pulled?!

    Honestly, I see absolutely no reason. Why? Because the crime took place on a college campus?! There are no other similarities between this episode and the VT massacre. It's such a bizarre conclusion to come to from FOX...to pull the ep. I understood the logic behind it before I saw the ep, but now that I have seen it I am just completely bewildered as to how they ever drew a parallel between that incident and the events of this ep. If they wanted to postpone it a week or a month...I get that, I guess. I just don't understand where the idea came to not air it at all. IS it just me?

      Srsly, here I thought the guy was murdered by shooting--but he wasn't even, it was with a freaking weight! Though I guess there was almost a gun at the end, maybe that was reminiscent enough....but yeah, I'm still a little annoyed at it....though really, the reason why it didn't air the next week was freaking American Idiot again!
