Not really great to watch if you are British., 22 September 2008
Author: Friendly_Milk from local shop owner

The interesting character dynamic and strong plot lines were put on hold for this episode. Why? Because the characters go to ENgerland and see the posh dudes and butlers and drive on the wrong side. And the Brits are all so gay and retarded, they need Americans to wonder in and solve it all.

Apparently someone (Hart Hanson) thought it would be fun to turn Instructions for American Servicemen in Britain, 1942 into an episode of a detective show. I felt like looking outside for German bombers.

Gross stereotypes, poor jokes, tons of cultural mistakes and stupid illegalities. National Lampoons European Vacation without the funny bits. Why even bother? The show is usually so good but this - along with the end of Season 3 - makes me wonder what the heck is going on with this show. If Booth wandered around with a gun and FBI badge nowadays, he'd be shot on the tube like a Brazilian electrician.

Also, the writer's pitiful knowledge of European archaeology as well as basic British law and geography makes a mockery of the meticulous work of Kathy Reichs.

In short - if you want to look at cute totally old LOLZ British stuff, watch Inspector Morse.
