I watched Bones too (of course), and I didn't love it, but I definitely liked it. I think that DB is one of the strongest points of the show, which makes me happy 'cause of the love there and all; his Scully&Mulder line made me happy. I read a review that bagged on the show for managing to fit boobs into the first three minutes, but that scene actually just really made me like the character, a lot. The girl who plays TB (ick, TB - not good; also, I keep thinking of her as "Temperance Barrows" from Marge's book on The Simpsons) is ok, but I'm not loving her yet. Yes a Mary-Sue, although that doesn't always bother me as much as it seems to bother others. I'm definitely a fan of the gun-wielding martial-arts chicks, although it's a bit much when they have a PhD, too. I like her team a lot, though. Her tagline really amused me this episode ("I don't know what that means"), partially because of her delivery, but it has the potential to be seriously overused. My biggest complaint was the horrifically stilted line they gave DB at the end; I can't believe he was willing to deliver it. "Being a sniper... I killed a lot of people". No shit? I mean, I'm glad to know you're motivation and all, and I like the character both for being willing and able to do bad things for good reasons (at least we hope that's what he always thought was happening) and for wanting to atone, but that line! It was just so forced! "We have to get DB's character motivation into this episode, too - shit! Well, we'll just stick it on the end, and spell it out real simple like so nobody'll miss it". Sheesh.
