Still going strong
Chances are by now you know how you feel about Bones. If you have liked the show up to this point you will likely still enjoy this season. If you don’t like it, this season will not do anything to change your mind because it really follows the same formula as it has the past few years.
I think the stories are still compelling and interesting enough to keep the show fun to watch. It does a good job of blending the case of the week stories with the ongoing story arcs. The main antagonist this season continues to be Pelant. The storyline from the last season which resulted in the end of the season cliffhanger is resolved quickly in Season 8. Pelant however keeps coming back throughout the season to make the lives of the team hell.
The show has kept the rotating interns that stemmed from the one story line from the show whose outcome I did not like, and that was having Zach written off the show. The show does a good job of actually giving them more to do that just being Brennan’s sidekicks and it seems like the show is going to stick with that format for the foreseeable future.
Aside from the stretches that the show makes with reality which you either accept or not, the only thing that was completely unrealistic from this season was about Hodgins money. You have to suspend your disbelief for what happens initially, but I personally think the directon the show takes the aftermath is just dumb.
The rest of the season really revolves around Booth and Brennan as a couple, and as parents. I think that part of the story is well written and has done a good job of not making the relationship stale which is always the danger in bringing lead characters into a relationship.
For those who get the blu ray set, there are deleted scenes and commentary on some episodes, an “Ask Bones” feature where cast members answer questions submitted by fans, a short ultimate fan segment and a gag reel. Not a ton of extras but enough there if you do like going through that material. Also, the blu rays allow you to play it in season mode, so you can stop at any point and pick back up where you left off.

It just keeps getting better!!!
Season 8 was terrific, proving that you can put the couple together and still have good stories. All you need is great writing and great acting. Kudos to Hanson and Nathan for the former and the cast for the latter.
Furthermore, I think that Patriot in Purgatory and Ghost in the Machine are two of their best episodes ever, maybe even the two best. Patriot in Purgatory was very moving and gave us a chance to see how 9-11 affected both Bones and Booth. Ghost in the Machine (the one that was filmed from the victim’s perspective) was eerie, but incredibly moving for both the characters and the audience. Both episodes had me in tears.
As always, there were gooey gross bodies, perplexing mysteries, amazing science, Hodgins’ crazy fun “experiments,” grumpy but lovable Caroline Julian, a massively creepy serial killer, humor, witty dialogue, Booth and Bones’ deepening relationship, and Brennan’s continuing evolution. Two of my all-time favorite quotes are from this season. Bones described the perfect vacation spot to Booth as paradise with “mass graves for me and a beach with liquor for you.” Also, when Sweets’ new roommates mistook Bones and Booth for Sweets’ parents, one of the roommates tells Sweets that “his dad is hot.”
Those are only the most notable moments to me. There were many, many more.
Can’t wait for Season 9. Only 5 weeks to go.

The dreaded never-ending storyline
One of the things I liked most about “Bones” was that each season was pretty much self-contained. There were story arcs that spanned multiple episodes through the season (such as the Gravedigger and Gormogon storylines) and ongoing plot developments (such as the truth about Brennan’s parents and Hodgins’ and Angela’s developing relationship) but by and large each season wrapped up the loose ends by or in the season finale. Unfortunately, that pattern has been broken with the introduction of Christopher Pelant. While I realize that the forensics team members require a challenge equal to their considerable abilities to keep the show interesting, some of Pelant’s technological feats are, quite frankly, ridiculous and highly contrived. That, however, isn’t the true problem with the concept. Pelant (much as Red John in “The Mentalist”) is a loose end whom the writers have allowed to remain one step ahead of the protagonists and can continue to do so indefinitely. Eventually it gets tedious to sit through yet another Pelant episode knowing that, regardless of how brilliantly Booth, Brennan, and the squints work through the evidence and close in, the writers can and probably will reveal that it was yet another manipulative ploy by Pelant who had complete knowledge of what everyone was up to all along by spying on them through clock radios, microwave ovens, and other networked appliances and so could circumvent their efforts. Undoubtedly Pelant eventually will be brought to justice. The only extremely irksome question about that is how long the writers intend to milk the situation.
That said, the chemistry between Boreanaz and Deschanel remains as engaging as ever, and the humor (dark and morbid as it sometimes is) helps to keep the series fresh and well worth watching on the whole.
