Another good episode

I enjoyed it. Bones became boringly predictable. Gore after gore on Bones. At least Instinct has a plot.

[7.1] Saddening

The reviewers made it abundantly clear and rightfully so. A sad farce of a series, with some good acting and lots of cliche and junk materials. I'll continue watching, but I've no more expectation on the show.

It has many flaws and a tiny amount of entertainment with some good VFX.

Secrets and lies of writers bubbling around?!

Plot??

Elements in the plot of this episode are almost identical to elements in a 2009 episode of Bones called "The Plain of the Prodigy." Even some of the dialogue is similar. We've run out of interesting story ideas?

I had hopes.

The first two episodes were almost good, not quiiiite there, but as I could see where the show was trying to go I still recorded episode 3. What. A. Sad. Disappointment. I am completely in awe as to how the blatant plagiarized plot could have gotten past any and all of the many levels of production that a script must go through from the writing room, through set production and even lighting, all the way to filming. Had not one person ever seen Bones? Or did they not care, and went through with it anyway because they had already run out of material? I did love Bones- not a super fan, but even I know about the referees episode, and even I know that the show had, and still has, one of the biggest fan bases of all time. Forgetting all of this and back to the point/plot/show... dammit, Cummings. I thought you would add depth to a character who could be interesting. However sadly, no. When you say "it's a piano!" at the desk it was worse than someone with no training going to a Broadway audition. Storylines, characters and just general cheesiness (quite literally no other word for it) just make this a show that I, personally, believe will be on for one, MAX two seasons. If it goes on for longer than that, it will be to my complete surprise. Dammit, Alan. You were much better in Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion.

Trivia
Upon first airing, many viewers noted the strong similarity to an episode of Bones, "The Plain in the Prodigy. One media outlet even made a "supercut" of the two episodes showing the similar and sometimes identical lines of dialogue. Showrunner Michael Rauch issued a private apology to Bones showrunner Hart Hanson and a public apology to viewers and fans but maintained that the similarities were unintentional.

Alternate versions
This episode of the show has been re-cut, for the Australian market at least, so there is very little reference to the 'Amish' family and more footage of regular characters and the murder plot itself, probably due to the apparent similarities with the plot to an episode of Bones, "The Plain in the Prodigy".
