God bless America rating 4/10 - standard noughties crime procedural, nothing particularly egregious here (by bones standards) UPDATE 5/10 - Bones’ rival author literally uses the phrase “god bless america”
Body reveal rating 4/10 - there’s something to be said for a skeleton in a beaver dam, but there was wasted potential
Randy Angela rating -2/10 - negative randy points due to Hodgins’ infestation
Hodgins mouth to boot rating 4/10 - he lacks his season 1 anti-government spark
Bones as a believable anthropologist 0/10 - all she does in this episode is go on telly to talk about her book
How offensive did I, personally, find it 7/10 - booth commits police brutality against a black man in this episode and, as always, the show treats it as nbd
Silly score 10/10 - Wendell briefly gets stuck to both a bone and Hodgins’ face - it should’ve been an episode long B plot but wasn’t, I wanted to see them go to the toilet together. However, the real magic comes in when Hodgins carries a bot fly to term in this episode. “If you had a bot fly I wouldn’t touch you” - my wife, watching this episode with me
How bad is the song at the end 7/10 - oof, not good
Best outifit of the episode - Cam wins by default with her Vulcan bob
Is Sweets a little baby boy - yes, Sweets is present in the episode
Overall rating 5/10 - knocked off a point for inaccurate portrayal of leopard slug mating
