Bones: Pilot (2005)
Season 1, Episode 1
5/10
Not An Impressive Debut
25 December 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Watching this on DVD last night was my first look at this program. It holds possibilities, but I'm hoping the dialog is a little more mature than the cutesy/hip/affected baloney I heard on this pilot episode. I hope they concentrate a little more on the crime and its evidence than the personal lives and stupid sexual remarks that prevailed in here.

Nonetheless, it's nicely filmed and looks very good on DVD, with nice shots of Washington, D.C. and clean, crisp transfer. As with some the CSI programs, almost everyone here - especially the assistants in the lab - are a bit young. There's a guy here who honestly looks about 14.

Also, our female lead, despite being pictured as a brainiac who never gets out of the lab and has no social life, can kick the crap out of any man. Yeah, right!

How the lead female "Dr. Temperence Brennann" came to all these accurate conclusions is a little far-fetched, but what do I know about that science? Anyway, this first episode shows how she and FBI Agent "Seeley Booth" will team up the rest of the way.

The story? The bones of an intern who had sex with a senator and became pregnant, was found in a pond. She had been dead for about a year and a half. Who killed her and why?
