Michaela Conlin

The show as I knew it is completely different than it was when I first wrote about it a year ago. It's not a bad thing; it's a sign of an evolving show.

One of the things I liked most about Bones, the platonic partnership of Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth, is about to come to an end. They are going to do it.

Bones is in no way typical. It's a bit off the beaten path and features a family of accessible characters with good stories, blood and guts, comedy and drama.

Now, if Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and tough guy FBI Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) can fight crime on a plane... I can surely just sit on one, right?

What made the Bones season finale so traumatizing is how the departure of a beloved regular character was executed. There was nothing leading up to it, and it was completely unfair.
