When a crime scene cleanup expert’s remains are found mysteriously sealed in an impenetrable pod that washed up on the beach, the team tackles one of their most challenging investigations.Download Video Bones The Bod in the Pod Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Bones Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Meanwhile, Angela and Hodgins learn of a secret romance in which Cam is involved.Bones, a darkly amusing procedural currently in its eighth season, is inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and novelist Kathy Reichs. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, D.C., and writes novels on the side.
When the standard methods of identifying a body are useless (when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed), law enforcement calls on Brennan for her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim's bones.
While most people can't handle Brennan's intelligence, her drive for the truth or the way she flings herself headlong into every investigation, Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) of the FBI's Homicide Investigations Unit is an exception.
A former Army sniper, Booth mistrusts science and scientists - the "squints", as he calls them - who pore over the physical evidence of a crime. But even he cannot deny that the combination of his people-smarts and Brennan's scientific acumen makes them a formidable duo.
As he walks to his car in a parking garage, a man finds an Ultra Gulp of product placement that blows him up. His head lands, of course, on a No Smoking sign. The Jeffersonian team gets to the scene and starts bagging all the smithereens of the victim. There's no VIN or license plate because of the blast, so the identification of the victim is not straightforward.
Booth has been pulled off the case by Miss Julian, who wants him to do some accounting for his division and offers a promotion and raise, so the investigation is being handled by Sweets and Agent Olivia Sparling.
Sweets and Sparling visit Carlson's wife to tell her that he's dead, but then he shows up. Booth wonders if Brennan made a mistake, Brennan passes the buck to Angela, and Angela blames Sweets for some reason. Seems Carlson has an identical twin he doesn't know about.
Angela continues to solve the case single-handedly, tracking Langella through the hotel security tapes and realizing that both Carlson and Langella were at the hotel at the same time. Both were there for a Self Actualization Synergy meeting, even though neither man knew the other.
Sweets and Sparling talk to Carlson, who was planning to give up his life savings to live in Colorado with the Synergy cult. They then question Carlson's wife, as she took out $20,000 and googled for hitmen, trying to off her husband before he gave away all their money.
The hitman made a mistake and offed Langella accidentally. She also admits that the hitman is at that moment attempting to kill Carlson.
Sweets suspects that interviewing Carlson about his life will give them pertinent information to figure out who the twin was.
I found the first 15 minutes or so to be a little "trite". The characters didn't seem to fit comfortably in their skin. But by the end of the pilot I was very much interested, especially in the forensics aspect. I have a friend who is an anthropologist and I'm going to get her opinion about the Dr. Brennan character.
The series has a lot of potential and I especially like that unlike X Files, these characters are dealing with "real life" events rather than other worldly events.
