BONES (Pilot)

One day, one dead body was discovered from the bed of a pond at a cemetery. The　body has already turned into a skeleton, and its skull was broken to pieces. Furthermore, the body was rewrapped and double-rewrapped by a sheet and a wire net with a weight. All this says that it wasn't an accident, but the person was killed.

Seeley Booth, an FBI agent, took charge of this problem. He asked Temperance Brennan to cooperate with him to solve the problem. She is a superior doctor of forensic medicine. She is energetic in her studies all over the world, and she wrote a book. She is the world’s leading expert on forensic medicine. And she is strong-minded, has a short temper, and is a little wild. So, she accepted his request on condition that he treats her on a footing of equality. And then, they became workmates even though there is lack in their relationship of trust.

Dr. Brennan concluded the sex, age, height, the biotype and hobby of the person in an instant. And her excellent fellows deduced the details of the body and the crime from the body. Booth found that the victim is Cleo Eller by an image of a hologram. She had been lost since last year, and she is a daughter of an officer of the army. Furthermore, it is said that she had an affair with a member of the Upper House, Sen. Bethlehem.
From the studies, many facts were detected. First, Cleo was pregnant. Second, Cleo’s boyfriend is a secretary to Sen. Bethlehem. Finally, Cleo was being stalked. From these facts, they narrowed down the suspects. They are the man having an affair with Cleo, Sen. Bethlehem, Cleo’s boyfriend, Ken Thompson, and a stalker, Oliver Laurier.


I felt that BONES is a delicate drama. This is not common suspense drama. So, I enjoyed watching it so much. Dr. Brennan is very clever. She can know everything of　the body from it. But she is looked like she was a cool and stubborn woman. So, she is distressed about the human heart. She can know everything about dead people without talking with them. But she needs to talk with sympathize with or open up to them to the living to know something about living people. She has trouble in that.

I think that Dr. Brennan and Booth have some secrets in their past. And on the first episode, they couldn’t trust each other. From this, I hope that they will be real partners, and they will develop as persons.
