If the fourth season of
Bones on DVD gets off to a slightly jumpy start, it's because the first four episodes are missing. They were actually included as a bonus feature on the third season's boxed set, in an effort to pad that truncated season. (However, the Blu-ray version of the fourth season does include all 26 episodes, which originally aired during the 2008-2009 television season.) That said, there's little else to gripe about with this collection. Like many shows revolving around murder,
Bones is strewn with body parts--a displaced finger here, a falling leg there. But the gross-out factor often is balanced with humor as Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI special agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) try to figure out whodunit. Though some of the vignettes are on the weak side (a character deciding to become celibate, while another wants to start a family), the overall tone of the show is dead on. This season includes the addition of several new interns, who are vying to fill the spot left by Zack Addy (Eric Millegan). (It was revealed last season that Addy had been working as the apprentice for the serial killer known as Gormogon.) Well developed and also a little eccentric, the interns can give as good as they get as they compete for the job and fit in well with the already established cast.
The cases this season are diverse. One episode delves into the investigation of a pregnant teenage athlete's death that seems to be part of a high school "pregnancy pact," while another finds Brennan and Booth as passengers on a plane where a crisp, burnt body is discovered. And in another, Booth finds himself as the main suspect when a longtime rival is found dead. The simmering chemistry between Brennan and Booth is never lost in the intrigue. Though many TV dramas use the "will they" or "won't they" device to pique viewers' interests, that scenario usually loses momentum by the second or third season. Thanks to some smart writing and sharp acting, this conceit hasn't worn itself out yet on Bones. While the show hints that the two are destined to be together, that plot line isn't exploited this season. --Jae-Ha Kim

| This product was defective.That's the problem. If I got it from instead of from a third party I would have been better off.You get what you pay for.The low price promted me to buy, but 3 out of 6 discs were unwatchable. I would not ever buy another product from this company!!! |
| Hesitation | 2010-03-01 | 3 / 5 |

| The dvd was delivered in a timely fashion as promised. Each episode has a hesitation in it. I have cleaned the dvd's with no luck in improving the hesitation. So, I guess there is a defect in the dvd. |

| I love Bones, but only became a fan this past year after watching a Bones Marathon. I think the chemistry between Booth and Brennan(Bones) is fantastic! I got caught up with Seasons 1 & 2 over the holidays and now I'm on Season 3 and soon Season 4. It's great! |

Now, some shows go south - quality wise - but that's the fastest rolling downhill so far.
Good clear thinking, scientific approach (O'K, as scientific as you can get without losing 99,5% of the audience), logic, dry and sometimes black humor, in short everything that made those series special in the seasons 1 and 2 - gone. I still hope may be not forever - perhaps the writing crew should be changed?
Bones is getting quickly disengaged from her brain. Booth - an FBI Special Agent and a former Army sniper - is being turned into a giggling idiot. Bones father, who used to be one of the most insteresting characters, is downsized so much he takes less time than any of those moron interns. A horde of neurotic interns has already ruined Doctor House, so why repeat somebody's else mistake?
The fascinating and brillian Stephen Fry has been replaced with that clown... what's the name of that baby shrink again?
Who would have said that I would feel profoundly gratefull for the presence of Dr Saroyan? I actually like the first director that much that I was annoyed when they replaced him. But now she is the anchor to the first two seasons when it was a brilliant show as she seems to be the only person who still keeps her brains, humor and common sense.
What happened to common logic? Bones's staple phrase used to be : "There is flesh here, I don't work with flesh!". Now they make her doing autopsies? Whats' next - working with lab rats? She started making idiotic and illogical statements which she never used to do before. Angela is turning into a cheap stupid easy access somebody - again the initial character was not like that. Booth is behaving like a clown half of the time. The combined IQ rate dropped to around 200 may be.... all of them put together.
This is turning into a trashy switch-off-your-brain Grand Guignol show which has nothing to do with the initial concept. Two brillian seasons and now that?! |

| I bought this show not really expecting to like it, but the characters are really fun and interesting. I love watching it. |
