Finale Review & Watch: The Change in the Game
Posted by Maki On Thursday, May 19, 2011 0 comments
The season 6 finale title of Bones "The Change in the Game" says it all! The episode showcased Booth and Brennan as they went undercover at Max's behest in order to uncover and apprehend the killer of "The Closer," a bowling great whose remains were found in the reset mechanism of a bowling alley lane right before a tournament began. What else happened? Let's dig in!
TV Fanatic: They went undercover as Buck and Wanda, a rather folksy pair, with true characters for teammates including an overzealous redheaded preteen and an older woman with a thing for Buck. Furthermore, they weren't just a couple, Buck and Wanda were engaged, roles which Booth and Brennan seemed uncharacteristically comfortable playing.
I certainly enjoyed watching these two go undercover at a bowling alley. It was just the right atmosphere to counteract last week's intense episode, and it certainly packed an entertaining punch in terms of the supporting characters that surrounded Booth and Brennan throughout the investigation. The young redhead was perhaps that most memorable given the fact she was a hard nose who seemed to run the team, and even caused Brennan to appear aghast at her behavior. That says something.
Plus, that older woman hitting on Booth and his mullet was quite the entertaining piece, plus the butch woman who hit on Brennan's undercover character was an entertaining twist.
On the Angela and Hodgins front, it couldn't have been any more entertaining to watch Hodgins remain on the edge of hysteria in anticipation of Angela going into labor. Poor Wendell was the recipient of much of the anxiety, though he took it like a pro.
What made the while episode was how easily Angela's calm and collected demeanor changed so drastically when she went into labor and completely lost it not only with Hodgins but with the nurses as well. Angela and Hodgins made quite the pair in that delivery room. Neither sure they had what it took to deliver their first child.
In the end it seems they had everything they needed: each other.
After some sweet words between the two, and the few agonizing seconds after the birth confirming that the baby could, in fact, see, the world was introduced to Michael Staccato Vincent Hodgins, the perfect blend of Angela's unconventional nature and Hodgins traditional and more conservative naming tastes.
It seems that Hodgela's baby not only inherited the name bestowed upon him by Angela's father, but also the name of their fallen colleague and friend, Vincent Nigel Murray.
Among the many waiting for the arrival of the newborn, practically everyone associated with the regular cast, was Brennan, bunny in hand. If you remember from "The Sign in the Silence," Booth and Brennan debated what to get the baby. Brennan initially rejected the idea of getting a stuffed animal, but when it proved a crucial part of the girls memory in that case, Brennan reconsidered her position.
It didn't seem the only reason Brennan seemed so pleased to get the stuffed animal, withholding until the very end of the episode her pregnancy, which she shared with Booth. He seemed as pleased this time around as Booth was in the dream in "The End in the Beginning," the finale from season four. This revelation confirmed what really happened between Booth and Brennan after their late night conversation in the wake of Vincent's death. It feels like Hart Hanson and company jumped the shark by putting a baby into the mix that is the non-relationship between Booth and Brennan, yet the revelation itself promises to make things interesting going forward. How could it possibly not?!
It seems Deschanel's real life pregnancy has made its way into the plot of Bones.
Overall, this is a commendable finale for Bones!
So will we still see Booth and Brennan on season 7? Well, we will update you on our spoiler section!
