Commentary on Bones S01E01 -- Pilot

I’ve recently rewatched the series Bones. Used to watch it every week on TV back then. But then, life got in the way. Now, I’ve decided to rewatch everything. Note that as it is my commentary while watching the show (literally paused the video to type down my commentary), there will be spoilers. of the current episode, and maybe of future episodes. Just included as a comparison.

Total no. of minutes: 42:18 (I’ve included this because my copy may or may not be the same length as yours. If this is different, then the time markers below won’t make much sense to you)

00:11 omg Angela's hair hahaha.

01:45 Brennan saying "Boo!" seems so out of character (OOC). she's funnier and more sarcastic too in this episode.

02:17 stage left, enters Booth *swoons*

02:38 ahh the first "Don't call me Bones".

03:16 in the car, I realised that Bones sat with her leg up. and Booth didnt give Angela a ride??"

03:22 ahh the first appearance of Booth's boyish smirk

04:20 ohhh Booth is not wearing a Cocky belt buckle. Normal tie. ugly actually. why the hell is there a button on the middle of the damn tie ??

04:20 "...Scully & Mulder" and ahh the first "I don't know what that means". 

05:03 and the 2nd time. "Squints". and Booth licks his lips a lot. I wonder if this a Booth's habit or Boreanaz's.

just wanna say that everyone looks soo young and fresh-faced in this episode.

08:21 Dr Goodman: What's the rule, Mr Addy? Zac: You only converse with PHDs ..... Dr Goodman: Go. polish. a bone, Mr Addy.

09:11 OMG Hodgins' hair hahaha

10:27 Ah I love the part where Brennan reassembles the bones and there's music playing in the background. It's a shame she doesn't do this much anymore.

11:52 As Brennan walked back home from the Jeffersonian after reassembling the bones, I think at this point, she probably hasn't showered for 2 day haha

12:29 Booth: "No, she's amazing *swoon*. If the only way I can get her back on my side is to bring her out in the field, I'm willing." Yeah, we know why you want her back on your side, Booth. You wanna kiiiisssss heeerrr again.

12:56 Ho damn boy, she's got nice titties. (no I'm not a pervert. I'm a woman.)

13:43 Ahh the first "I hate psychology"

16:40 Booth: .... If I line all my ducks in a row..." Bones: ... I can be a duck! ahhh the significance of this chase. also, she called him a bastard.

19:26 Bones: Those people deserve the truth. Booth: ... They deserve the kindness of a lie. I love this line.

21:06 Bones swinging on a gate in Jeffersonian is unlike her too.

22:00 Bones: When she was being murdered, she fought back. Hard! Even though she was so depressed that she could hardly get up in the morning. She did not welcome death. I love this line too.

Booth's voice seems of a higher pitch, right?

I love repeating "diatomaceous earth" every time someone says it.

29:07 Brennan's parents disappeared when she was 15.

29:35 Shooting range scene. 

30:30 Booth saying his infamous "scientists don't solve murders. cops do" for the first time.

30:48 Ok this is definitely where I start shipping. I don't think I've ever stood that close to anyone while talking. Not even with my significant other.

31:18 HOOOO DAMN Booth shot the shooting range thingy's eye. Twice!

32:38 I love it every time Booth calls her Temprance. He only doest that very rarely.

37:00 Yes!!! Shoot the mf.

39:00 Bones, looking a little sexy with that cleavage at a funeral, isnt it. Bones look very goth with her hair and makeup agaisnt her pale skin.

41:40 Bones pushed Booth on the shoulder while they walked down the road. Wow I've watched this episode a few times and I think this is the first time I caught this.

Final thoughts: amazing pilot. definitely “hooked” material. amazing plot, amazing script, amazing acting. Although, I don’t like that Brennan has dark circles in her eyes but probably cos she’s tired from her Guatemala trip. Lovd her outfit though. Also, since this is the pilot, it’s the clincher episode to attract networks. So, it is normal -- almost expected -- for characters and plots to change a little. That’s why Pilot Brennan seemed a little OOC. Booth, setting her up at the airport and bringing her along to the case was the best decision you’ve ever made. and Brennan, chasing him, wanting to be a duck, and attempting to blackmail him was the best decision you’ve ever made. Also, after their actual first case, I find it hard to believe that this was the next one. Where’s the chemistry? The tension?

TLDR of the Case: Cleo Eller is an intern with Senator Bethlehem. Her boyfriend Ken is the senator's assistant. When Ken finds out that Cleo is pregnant, he killed her. Not out of jealousy or passion. He did it to save his job because the scandal would affect everyone's career badly.
