I find myself slightly……disconnected. After the atrocious ending of season 3, which I can’t see to totally wipe from mind, I wasn’t sure how I would react coming into this season. And I was disappointed, disappointed by the show’s perception of London….admittedly, I’m more pissed off by the fact they filmed in London, literally on the South Bank where I walk every bloody day, and I never caught hair nor hide of them.
Anyway, they bring up Zac in the first few minutes…..and I kind of wish they hadn’t, because then I noticed how everyone seemed to have swept right over Zac’s entire involvement…it’s like he was never there, and that pisses me off, because I really, really liked Zac. He was one of my favourite characters, and now it’s cast a bit of a sheen over the show.
I know they rushed through last season, thanks to the strike, but they couldn’t have simply carried it over to the next year, left it off with an awesome climax, and used the summer break to work out a better ending?
Anyhoo….it’s interesting seeing them in London, and admittedly I spent a lot of time watching the scenery, trying to recognise places and buses, I have this thing about what buses are shown and what route they are!
They involved all the characters well, and got the involved into the plot quickly and rather productively, if not slightly creatively. But they did bring up some severely stupid stereotypes, particularly with the Mini. And gah! The chickie, Pritchard said it’s an Austin…it’s a freaking Mini!
Anyhoo…kudos on getting the chick from Torchwood to play Detective! It’s great seeing her again, even if I can’t remember what her name on the show was! I’m such a bad torchie….although she was only in 2 episodes, so I think it’s allowed! I keep thinking Sandra….something along those lines…
Anyway, knew newbie wouldn’t last as he wasn’t in the in credits. I guess we get to do the whole fun process of finding a new assistant for Bones, right? Cam’s reaction to Grayson was cute, and I wish he stuck around, because that man is HOT! Not to mention great chemistry with Cam, I want to see her happy and involved!
Hodgins and Angela breaking up? Stupid. I liked when they get together, but they dragged out the stupid ex-husband for an entire season, set it up really badly in this episode, and now they’ve broken up because of their reaction to Cam sleeping with him? It seems slightly irrational to me. I’m not sure where they’re going with it, but I’ve lost faith with this show. I also felt they were hinting a lot at a Bones/Booth hookup last season, and now I’m not sure where it will go.
Honestly? I’m worried about this show. Very worried.
