FILMING QUALMS:
Did anyone else notice the weird blocking and strange shot choices in this episode? I'm not sure if they lacked enough good takes, or if the editor and director are just bad. Also, the color saturation in the hospital scenes was like an anvil (the dark blue lighting telegraphed the entire scene). I don't watch "next ons" so I had no idea anyone was going to die... I knew the second Bones was sitting in an oddly vacant blue-lit hospital hallway that Max was going to die.
STORYLINE QUALMS:
The oddly contrived storyline the Cam watches a HSM like network that "happens" to sell a weird pendent she instantly recognizes. They then deduce the victim is an old lady, and her delivery man will know her details.
How long was Caroline creeping in the alley? Did she just assume Aubrey was going to walk right past her at that time. And why creep up on him?
Also... what was the point of telling us that the elderly lady had rotator cuff and right hand injuries when it had no meaning at all? So the intern can detemine she is a knitter? Wtf does that have to do with anything besides proving these people jump to wild conclusions?
Amd then... THEN. Why would the killer go after a delivery mans client? This would suggest a delivery man would tell a "shut-in" classified information. Wtf? Granted, the killer might have been torturing this woman only to get info out of this man for his sympatheties toward his client.
Then....the killer seems surprised Booth was the assassin...yet it is obvious he stalked Booth and Brennan for months if not years. Why bother torturing all those people when he knew the answer. Maybe he wasn't sure...I have a headache now...
