THE PLOT THUS FAR

Unearth even more thrills from Bones Season 8 with all-new content only available here! Finally cleared of wrongdoing, Bones reunites with Booth (David Boreanaz) and the squints. Although the team solves some of their most challenging cases yet, madman Christopher Pelant continues his murderous rampage – inching closer to Bones and Booth daily. From solving the mystery of a roller derby darling’s demise to uncovering a previously unrecognized 9/11 hero to stopping a pandemic, Bones and the team make one remarkable discovery after another. Meanwhile, as if the challenges Booth faces with parenthood and his unique relationship with Bones aren’t enough, his mother shows up after a 24-year absence, and there is shocking news about some of his colleagues. Relive all 26 killer episodes!

WHAT WE THOUGHT

It seems that the first few seasons were heavily character and ensemble driven, exploring the tension between the lab rats and the field investigators, and laying out the basic foundation of Bones’ and Booth’s interpersonal relationship. We are also provided with the large details of her life, the mystery of her family and the pain of her upbringing. In the writing the emphasis is on the creativity of the team in solving odd circumstances surrounding a death. Still, there’s things that bug me like the dynamic between Bones and Booth becoming somewhat un-genuine in the light of overt probing by Dr. Sweets.

The two lead characters are wonderfully balanced with each other: their approach to life, to their work, to the pursuit of this week’s mystery. Their relationship rings true. Through agreements, disagreements and the sense of humor it takes to weather both, Deschanel and Boreanaz always deliver the wry portrayal these two staunchly serious, but genuinely human characters deserve. Each character’s work is expertly accomplished and equally important to the solutions they unravel together.

The Blu-Ray comes with deleted scenes, commentary, featurettes and a gag reel. The DTS-HD 5.1 master audio track keeps the crime antics alive. However, the 1080p transfer feels unbalanced when it comes to darker scenes. It’s a frequent complaint of recent cop/criminal investigation shows, but it keeps happening. Still, I’d recommend a purchase to fans.

RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW!
