Television Review - Bones S01E08

 BONES
Season One, Episode Eight
"The Girl In The Fridge"
Directed By Allan Kroeker
Starring Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz

2005, 60 mins, [TV-14]
 
Re: As Brennan and crew try to uncover the secrets behind a young woman found in a fridge, her old professor and lover shows up to challenge her ideas both in and out of the courtroom.
 
Outstanding: I thought I'd dislike it, but the way they showed Brennan struggling to make herself understood to a jury of "Normal people" when she is so comfortable with technobabble was great. Her old professor was just the right amount of smarmy and charming.
 
Unacceptable: The police work end of things really got shirt shrift this time. More than usual, anyway.
 
Summary: The story was mostly incidental in this episode, like many others, but the humanity of the victim drove every move and conversation, really making for a good episode. And Josh Hopkins (Cougartown's Grayson) was perfectly cast.
 
4/5
