(Sorry, I had to.)
Contrary to recent postings, this has not become a food blog! Unfortunately there’s just so little news out there in Bones land that there’s not much else to do until they go back into production.
Except, of course, to revisit old episodes. And write about them.
I’m not gonna lie, the finale really did a number on me. My original intent for the summer hiatus was to write one recap a week, like I did during the winter hiatus, but the finale was so draining — both as a viewer, and as a writer — that I honestly needed a break from Bones for awhile. It happens.
(In case you missed the Exercise in Profuse Wordiness and Insanity, and are a glutton for punishment, the Past in the Present recaps — yes PLURAL — are here and here.)
Anyway, now that I’ve had some distance, I started to feel the urge to dip my toes back into the Bones waters. Also, because backshootingford is awesome and always listens to my rants, I wanted to thank her by recapping an episode she absolutely loves. And that, my friends, is Aliens in a Spaceship.
I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive about doing this, because in my opinion, it’s the best (and strongest) episode of the entire series, and it’s daunting to tackle that kind of magnificence with my haphazard ramblings. However, in the name of Tumblr friendship, I bit the bullet and gave it the old college try. It’s even surprisingly relatively short length-wise for me (considering how fantastic the episode is) OK I lied it’s still kind of long, but I think it’s that it’s so wonderful I sit in awe of it, mostly.
Anyway, if you feel like a cool read on a hot summer day, here’s your stop. Or not. My brain has turned to jelly. Just, Aliens is really, really great, you guys. I can’t help what it does to me.
I'm not normal. I'm extraordinary.
