BBG watches: Bones, Season 1

After 22 episodes in 36 hours, I'm gonna say overall I liked it, but there were a few major problems. These don't take away my overall interest in the show's basis.

Characters

The main character is interesting and at the same time dull. She's one of the many of this annoying breed of sociopath/detective/scientist type of character that is really pretty annoying to me. She contantly mentions IQ and expressly states she is better than others and that some deserve to die. This character is the meaning of the word trite. She has an offbeat name, a sad family history, a overindulgent knowledge of "exotic" cultures, and NO FUCKING EMOTIONS, except for when it comes to the people from these exotic cultures. [WHITE SAVIOR ALERT]

tl;dr Temperance Brennan is female sherlock.

The second main (and love interest you can see coming from seasons away) is a little more interesting, but by almost nothing. He's a bad cop with a hard past and a story you can literally see through. He's traumatized by his past in the war. He's got a kid from an unwed mother who he has hardly any custody over. He's brooding. 

tl;dr Seely Booth is far too silly to be watson and trusts his gut far too much. 

The side characters are however wayyyy more interesting, but as you will see will not get a subplot until the seond season...

They're interesting because of the consistency. They don't change for plot. 

Plot

The main is a forensic anthropologist (an anthropologist who works to solve murders)  and apparently because this is a rare field, she thinks herself better than others. She gets called in to work with the FBI more consistently than she used to and now she becomes a field agent... kind of.

Meh.

tl;dr A nerd lives the dream of solving crime.
