The Bones Zone – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Fire up your Punkey Pong cabinets everyone, because TV critic Liz Shannon Miller is going to try to beat our high score while we talk about Bones season 5 episode 9, The Gamer in the Grease! We also stand in line for the movie Avatar, which I am sure we will all do again when the sequel comes out, whenever it comes out.

This week, bona fide TV professor Myles McNutt visits the Zone to talk about the sweeps week madness that is Stewie Griffin’s guest appearance in Bones season 4 episode 25, The Critic in the Cabernet. You’d think it would be tough to land emotional beats with the help of a raunchy cartoon baby, but Bones manages to pull it off somehow!

TV critic, Television Without Pity co-founder, and Extra Hot Great co-host Tara Ariano joins The Bones Zone this week to chat about Season 1, Episode 15: Two Bodies In a Lab.

This episode's astonishingly busy cold open involves the mob, the very sensible dating site Sensible Partners Dot Com, and an assassination attempt. There's also a double agent and plenty of casual goriness - just another week at the Jeffersonian!

The Bones Zone returns! Our friend Christina Tucker joins us to talk about Season 1, Episode 9: The Man In The Fallout Shelter. 

A forensic mishap creates a bottle episode, locking all of our pals inside the Jeffersonian on Christmas Eve. A series of heart-to-heart conversations ensues, punctuated by some light mystery solving and teary family visitations. We also find out the incredible secret identity of Angela's dad.

This backdoor pilot of The Bones Zone was originally episode 200 of the podcast Appointment Television. Margaret H. Willison (@MrsFridayNext) joins Kathryn and Andrew to talk about the pilot of the hit procedural drama BONES (2005-2017) and some news that was current when the episode aired back in June of 2019 (it's, uh, been a while).

This week, TV Guide editor and serious Bones-head Kelly Connolly travels with us to Comic-Con to solve the murder of a booth babe who tried to make money off of a rare prop sword. The Princess and the Pear is our first season 4 episode, so we also talk about the series of interns who replace Zack for the rest of the series, and get one step closer to figuring out why we're so obsessed with Bones.

This week, the Jeffersonian gang gets just a LITTLE too gleeful when a man who seems a LOT like Santa Claus turns up dead. Another entry in Bones' "explore a subculture, kind of" episodes, season 3 episode 9 The Santa In The Slush explores the seamy underbelly of the freelance seasonal mall Santa racket. Caroline does a workplace harassment. Brennan's family is also there. TV writer and podcaster Halle Kiefer joins us to break it all down!

This week, actor and Bones guest star Tom Lenk joins us to tell us about the show’s haunted audition room, and to talk about Bones season 3 episode 4, The Secret In The Soil! This is the first episode to feature a certain boyish psychologist who is determined to figure out Booth and Brennan’s weird relationship. It’s also got maggots, lemonade, and Tasha Yar.

This week, reporter and fact checker Caitlin Cruz joins us in the zone to splash around in the Bones season 2 finale, Stargazer in a Puddle! Caitlin knows as much about the show Bones as the character Bones knows about bones, and we benefit greatly from her series-spanning knowledge as we discuss Brennan’s family, Angela’s dad, and how we feel about a pre-Modern Family Eric Stonestreet’s turn as a sarcastic DC beat cop.

This week, The Ringer staff writer (and The Finder enjoyer) Michael Baumann joins us for a journey through Seely Booth’s troubled subconscious in Season 2 Episode 13, The Girl in the Gator. Stephen Fry is here too! And Alex Winter from Bill & Ted, as the sleazy proprietor of a Girls Gone Wild-esque franchise! The fact that a gator is involved is honestly the LEAST remarkable part of this episode.
