Unimpressed with Season Premiere of Bones
I was totally disappointed with this season's start to Bones!
Bones is my favorite TV show, and I have been eagerly awaiting September 23 for the past five weeks now (when I found out exactly when the first episode would air). Maybe I got my hopes too high, but I was greatly disappointed.
The premise didn't make any sense.
First of all, Cam doesn't need saving. Cam would have been able to figure out that the child was Asian, in other words, NOT the missing child. I mean come on, it's not like Cam was the stupid one hanging onto everyone else's coattails.
Secondly, they didn't even need a premise to begin with. What would be so terrible with just starting the season exactly 1 year later? What was the purpose to bringing everyone back early?
Thirdly, what is so wrong with Bones taking a year off to study the origins of humanity or w/e she was doing? It was clearly established at the end of last season that she was stressed out with her current job as a forensic anthropologist. She needed a break. Furthermore, that was great opportunity for her to take.
Why was she alone with Daisy? From the sounds of it I thought she would be with a whole bunch of anthropologists. Why would they be in a dangerous jungle by themselves? And I am sorry, I can buy Bones being able to take some people on her own, but not that many.
The only thing I could guess at was that they were trying to emphasize the cohesion of the group and how much they all needed each other.
All in all, not impressed, and not a good way to start the season...
