Jumped. The. Shark.

Last season's failtastic finale was not an isolated incident.

I call shark jump-age.

Spoiler-free version:

When even I (who don't demand that professionals on tv act utterly professional) am going: act like adults! You are doing something wrong.

Also, the break up? So bad. So very very bad.

I concur. On all counts.

Seriously. That was full of fail.

Well that sucks...

Yeah, while watching this episode I just sorta groaned and thought "aw man, she's not going to like this." For the most part I just tired to focus on the Bones/Booth in England thing, which I actually enjoyed quite a bit despite them going a little too over the top with Booth's inability to grasp England. That was pretty much all classic Bones stuff, and the English setting gave it a very cool ascetic.

The stuff back at the lab was pretty disappointing, but what almost made it work for me was the presence of Dr. Clark. He brilliantly framed the viewers feelings of "Holy crap, just get back to work already! What's with all this drama?" Too bad they didn't keep him around as Zack's permanent replacement, he was the highlight of the episode. And Angela and Hodgskins break up was pretty sad, in both tone and quality. It was very uncharacteristic of both of them to get hung up on stuff like that. You know they're going to get back together at some point, and this is just the break-up season, but I wish they could have come up with a way for them to break up that actually made sense.

Also, this episode featured too many beautiful/intelligent women shagging/almost shagging/or having had shagged total prats.

I've seen it now, so I'm sorry if it's a bad idea to comment on your post this late, but, but, but..did more than one writer do this episode? One of which having had slept with the other's significant other? Seriously, they have this lovely A/H moment, and then..AUGH! What the hell?

And Booth was being far too immature in the first part. I liked Clark, but looking at some spoilers, him leaving might be a good thing. And..I can't see Angela being that upset with Cam. It seemed so petty.
