Episode 9 of Season 4 of Bones is outstanding. They've definitely gotten fresh blood with the writing because the characters have really great depth and their relationships are endearing. I went to school with one of the writers. I had certain reactions to him, but it's hard for me to understand if it was a negative reaction towards the way he used his power or childish envy. But it was a strong reaction.

The first few seasons of Bones I watched out of mild entertainment and obligation (I like to keep abreast with media to know what's interesting the collective masses). There was one season that had a god-awful twist. And then recently, it changed. Whereas before, the show seemed run by adolescent boys (want to know the work of an adolescent writer? Remember how boys talk about sex when they pretend they have but really haven't? That's the mark of adolescence in writing. Every writer will experience it when they're challenged out of their comfort zone, but Bones wasn't great for a while because of it). Now there's such a beautiful God running that world. An understanding of the best parts of each character, their heart and soul, and bringing them to the surface like a sun magnet. I can always see in a man's eyes when he has a good woman in his life. The same, I can always tell characters who have a writer who loves them and understands their evolution, wanting to challenge them while bringing out the best of their nature.

Great job, Bones. Whoever brought about this change in you, is a keen and powerful writer.
