Um, I bet GEM is nothing at all, the shows back then were unethical in terms of storyline. There were multiple affairs, rape, pregnancy, extra marital affairs and what not. I don't know much, but I'm sure anyone that used to watch TV back in the 90's has a lot more to say.

However that being said she had some or the other twist every month or two to keep the viewers interest alive. Plus the actors in her shows were quite decent at acting. I personally would like to know the name of her first show, because I bet all the shows with pregnancy and all the other tracks probably originated from that one show :P In a way she wasn't really creative, and she split up all the tracks further down the branches creating new shows with new faces, but it worked.

I never watched Saath Phere (not an Ekta show), but I used to read the updates, and they had some drama going on every week (either haveli mystery, Nahar's past) which is why I guess the show worked for a long time as well. Today, we have nothing to keep us interested in any show, and a lot of the drama is fairly predictable.

Oooh, downloading Bones now....will watch on the way to work and comment! :)

GG - I think Ekta's first show was Hum Paanch, but I can't be certain. LOVED that show....but one of her earlier "saas bahu formula" shows was Koshish - Ek Aasha, with Sandhya Mridhul and Varun Badola; excellent when it began and then slightly silly towards the end, but yes, she (and others) reused that plot and those twists in nearly everything that came after it...

GEM discussions!!! 😲 I used to watch this show when I was a kid.. But now that Mash is telling the story I dont remember ANY of it except the part where Prem dies and she gets married to Rahul and Rahul's sister's storyline with Aanchal's brother.. Thori thori.. Maybe because I was a kid back then, yeh sab samajh nahi ata tha! But I used to watch this show regularly and loved it. Rahul-Anchal were oh so cute together! 😃

^ Thanks for pointing out :-) I completely forgot about Hum Paanch. She had a lot of shows back in the 90's.

Ok....so, um, Bones? Two good episodes in a row? Have we travelled back in time to Season 1? 😆

Seriously though, LOVED this week's episode. Not as intense as the last one, but I liked that it was a little light-hearted in comparison to last week's. Made a nice balance. Some points I liked and want to discuss when more people have seen it:

1. Interesting case - something I could actually get into and, more importantly, remember at the end of it 😆
2. Booth and Brennan arguing again about anthropological practices versus. the human aspect - very season 1.
3. Bones irritating Booth about the Bible/Christianity, and him saying that he "just knows" that polygamy can't bring happiness. "History is WRONG!" 🤣🤣🤣 And the whole bit where he gets the phone call, smirks, and then sits down quietly and she rolls her eyes and says "You're going to tell me you found something to support your theory, aren't you?"
4. Cam's relationship with the cute doctor - very mature and realistic that, since they're both workaholics, it can be difficult to sustain a relationship. But feeling very happy for Cam since he clearly likes her so much.
5. Cam & Booth's friendship coming back to the forefront.
6. Sweets interrogating potential suspects, and his utter distaste for one of them - I like that he's coming into his own a little bit more and becoming more and more part of the team.
7. It's taken me a while to decide, but I think Wendell is my favourite intern! Loved his little sarcastic comments throughout the episode. And loved his camaraderie with Hodgins.
8. Cam and the gun, during her "frustration" 😆 "Who gave Cam a gun?!"
9. Cute Angela-Hodgins scenes
10. Brennan laughing at "nitwit" and the entire scene in the car. She is adorable!
11. The little music montage near the end where they find out who the killer is.
12. The final scene in the Founding Fathers - both Cam-Paul and Booth-Brennan
13. Booth staring intensely at Brennan, looking away when she turned back to him.
13. Brennan asking Booth what happens if you let that one person go, and Booth telling her, cryptically, that that person is still there. And his vague dismissal of Hannah was great as well. Aww, BB!

So, good episode all round. Let's shoot for a hattrick next episode too!

Ditto! It's like someone waved a magic wand and gave us the original BnB back! LOL....the feel was so totally season one like you said.....the bickering over anthropology v/s religion etc....Booth getting defensive and worked up like he used to....Brennan saying stuff tactlessly in front of suspects and Booth giving her "did you seriously just say that" kinda looks😆....and that smirk when he gets the phone call was just TOO adorable for words....LOL.....they were just so POINT ON! WHERE were this BnB all this while? *sigh* I've missed them like anything.

Btw didn't you just love the "periscope" scene in the beginning? What an awesome way to start the epi.....I just found that scene TOO cute.....the way he's like, "You wanna be the periscope?" and then after she's standing on his hand and he says, "what can you see?" She's like, "Everything"....lollll she was toooooo cute in that scene yaar.



4. Cam's relationship with the cute doctor - very mature and realistic that, since they're both workaholics, it can be difficult to sustain a relationship. But feeling very happy for Cam since he clearly likes her so much. Agreed.....I also found that relationship very realistic and Paul just turned out to be such a sweet guy....I loved their talk on the couch when he tells her that she's brilliant and gorgeous....the way Cam was blushing there was too sweet....Tamara is one GORGEOUSSSSS lady.


5. Cam & Booth's friendship coming back to the forefront. OMG I got SO happy when I saw Cam in his office....cuz I was like ahh we're gonna get a Cam-Booth scene after AGES! It's like these ppl SUDDENLY remembered all these ORIGINAL friendships and connections in the show.....Cam-Booth's is one of my absolute fav! And I just LOVED this scene....the way he got all smug when he's like "ahhh you wanna talk about your boyfrienddddd"😆.....btw Booth is like in alter ego mode....he's all busy talking about "communication" and stuff and is hardly applying it when it comes to himself and his Hannibal gf😆



7. It's taken me a while to decide, but I think Wendell is my favourite intern! Loved his little sarcastic comments throughout the episode. And loved his camaraderie with Hodgins. Wendell was ALWAYS my fav. out of the interns since season 4....He's just so NORMAL compared to the rest of them and he's the ONLY one that fits in with the original gang I feel....the rest always stood out in a sense.....ofcourse no one can replace Zack but Wendell is my current choice to be a permanent part of Bones....he's adorable!


10. Brennan laughing at "nitwit" and the entire scene in the car. She is adorable! That scene was toooooooooooo adorableeeee😍 I was just grinning so much watching them laugh like goofballs there.....has to be one of THE cutest scenes of natural camaraderie b/w them ever! Booth is ACTUALLY interacting with her like he used to....the friendship, the affection....it's all back *sigh*


13. Booth staring intensely at Brennan, looking away when she turned back to him.
13. Brennan asking Booth what happens if you let that one person go, and Booth telling her, cryptically, that that person is still there. And his vague dismissal of Hannah was great as well. Aww, BB! The ending was interesting and Booth's look at her when she wasn't looking was just awww😆.....but I wonder.....such a sea change....he only dismissed Hannah from the convo when Brennan brought her up and all those intense looks he was giving Brennan....telling her that "You just know".....and "that person isn't going anywhere".....very significant words from him....I don't know what happened to the Bones Gods but they were QUITE meherbaan on us in this epi....lol....although I did wonder a teeeeny bit in the last scene what Booth meant by saying all that to Brennan....he's starting to dismiss Hannah there too....it's like he's starting to realize and remember what he has with Brennan...first the camaraderie is back, the affection....and now these talks they used to have with so much deep meaning to them.....he's telling her, "that person isn't going anywhere"....does he REALLY realize what he means there or did he just say it for the heck of it.....hmmmm

So, good episode all round. Let's shoot for a hattrick next episode too! LOL I think next epi is going to be quite interesting too with the "proposal"....will he or won't he as the promo says😆

She's like, "Everything"....lollll she was toooooo cute in that scene yaar. Yeah, I loved the periscope scene...too cute! Didn't mention it because there was so much else for us to talk about, but even the smallest thing like that was spot on in this episode. There was this really adorable wry expression on his face when he said "you wanna be the periscope?!" 😆

Agreed.....I also found that relationship very realistic and Paul just turned out to be such a sweet guy....I loved their talk on the couch when he tells her that she's brilliant and gorgeous....the way Cam was blushing there was too sweet....Tamara is one GORGEOUSSSSS lady. She really is....so beautiful! I loved the part when she said "sorry, I'm working tonight" and he said "so stand me up....I'll feel better when we're even"; so cute 😳. When they first showed Cam in the hospital at the beginning, and Paul said "she's six centimetres", I had this awful thought that maybe Michelle was pregnant! 😲 Thank God that wasn't the case though...


OMG I got SO happy when I saw Cam in his office....cuz I was like ahh we're gonna get a Cam-Booth scene after AGES! It's like these ppl SUDDENLY remembered all these ORIGINAL friendships and connections in the show.....Cam-Booth's is one of my absolute fav! And I just LOVED this scene....the way he got all smug when he's like "ahhh you wanna talk about your boyfrienddddd"😆.....btw Booth is like in alter ego mode....he's all busy talking about "communication" and stuff and is hardly applying it when it comes to himself and his Hannibal gf😆 I wonder who the writers were for this ep - do you know? Maybe that's the reason we got such a strong episode. And as for Booth, he's deliberately hiding his feelings and refusing to analyse them himself, so he probably does get the irony of telling someone to communicate when he's not doing it himself 😆 but it was telling when he told Cam "if you think this guy is the one, the love of your life....don't let him go"....

Wendell was ALWAYS my fav. out of the interns since season 4....He's just so NORMAL compared to the rest of them and he's the ONLY one that fits in with the original gang I feel....the rest always stood out in a sense.....ofcourse no one can replace Zack but Wendell is my current choice to be a permanent part of Bones....he's adorable! Yeah, the others all have a "quirk", something that makes them stand out, as you said. Wendell is pleasantly normal and has a good chem with Hodgins, which is the main thing seeing as how Zack and Hodgins were so close. Of course, Zack is Zack, but as replacements go, Wendell is not bad at all.

The ending was interesting and Booth's look at her when she wasn't looking was just awww😆.....but I wonder.....such a sea change....he only dismissed Hannah from the convo when Brennan brought her up and all those intense looks he was giving Brennan....telling her that "You just know".....and "that person isn't going anywhere".....very significant words from him....I don't know what happened to the Bones Gods but they were QUITE meherbaan on us in this epi....lol....although I did wonder a teeeeny bit in the last scene what Booth meant by saying all that to Brennan....he's starting to dismiss Hannah there too....it's like he's starting to realize and remember what he has with Brennan...first the camaraderie is back, the affection....and now these talks they used to have with so much deep meaning to them.....he's telling her, "that person isn't going anywhere"....does he REALLY realize what he means there or did he just say it for the heck of it.....hmmmm I don't think he would have said it for the heck of it - he's not that frivolous with emotions or words....in the last ep he was very measured in that last scene...."I didn't want to disappoint anyone *intense look*"...I think over the past few eps he's realised that Brennan is first and foremost his best friend, and that if they are going to continue to work together (and of course they don't want to split up professionally either) then they have to put the "love" feelings aside slightly. Not totally as per the last convo in this ep...but I like that they have the maturity to deal with it as adults - not trying to make each other jealous or pouting or shouting but just acknowledging that they have somewhere missed each other in that path...and that eventually they will make their way back again.
