Bones (TV series): Difference between revisions

Line 373:

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Booth's trademark black suit and belt buckle, with occasional variations in the shirt, socks, and tie. When he's off the job, he usually wears a brown leather jacket, which he sometimes wears to crime scenes. Brennan tends to wear big, dangly earrings and necklaces.

{{quote|'''Dr. Gordon Wyatt:''' ... Bilious socks and your ostentatious ties, and your provocative belt buckles. [...] [[Freud Was Right|Oh, it's a modern-day codpiece. It forces the eye to the groin.]]}}

* [[Literal Minded]]: Brennan, more so than anyone who isn't an android should be.

* [[Living Lie Detector]]: Sweets

{{quote|'''Perotta:''' Booth was right, you're like a portable polygraph.

Line 606:

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Berimbau

* [[Stalker Without a Crush]]: The season four episode "Man in the Outhouse" has Noel Liftin, a stalker who was previously on the show as a [[Stalker with a Crush]]; Boothe pays him $50 to "stalk" one of their suspects and get more information. He proves to be frighteningly good at it.

* [[~~Straight~~ ~~Gay~~]]: To the max in "The Dentist in the Ditch." The victim played amateur full contact football, his entire ''team'' is gay and his ex is a bow hunter.

* [[Invisible to Gaydar]]: To the max in "The Dentist in the Ditch." The victim played amateur full contact football, his entire ''team'' is gay and his ex is a bow hunter.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Wait, why is the ship exploding that spectacularly? Oh, [[Rule of Cool|because it's cool.]] Also several of Zack and Hodgins experiments.

** Seen in the [[Show Within a Show|movie within a show]] ''Bone of Contention'', a [[Adaptation Decay|loose adaptation]] of one of Bones' novels.

Line 653:

* [[Unrequited Love Switcheroo]]: Arguably what happened between Seasons Five & Six between {{spoiler|Bones & Booth}}.

* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Oh, so very much. [[Word of God]] says it's the whole point. It is [[Lampshaded]] by pretty much every guest character, ever. As of "The Doctor in the Photo", she's openly lamenting the fact they never got together. It's pretty sad. {{spoiler|After they're trapped in an elevator for a day they make a promise that when Bones is no longer scared and Booth is no longer angry they'll give their relationship another try.}} As of {{spoiler|"The Hole in the Heart"}}, it's heavily implied that {{spoiler|[[They Do]]}}.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: In "[[~~Added Alliterative Appeal~~|The Double Death of the Dearly Departed]]", Booth makes Brennan say "translated" instead of "murdered". Oddly, in Shakespeare's time this would have worked as a metaphor.

* [[Vigilante Man]]: The sniper who shot {{spoiler|The Gravedigger as she was going into court}}. Booth loathes being compared to him, which Bones does constantly ("He kills bad people, just like you do!").

* [[We All Live in America]]: In the episode "Mayhem on a Cross", Norwegian police are depicted as wearing what appears to be riot gear and guns, violently kicking in the door spurring a fight between policemen and musicians and concert goers. In reality, Norwegian police are typically unarmed and many policemen may only arm themselves in extreme situations, such as when approaching a suspect they know to be armed.
