Sorry for getting this one out late. I had computer troubles and now Friday shows are here.
“The Pinocchio in the Planter” is one of those episodes which isn’t much of anything. Everything is acceptable, but nothing, save the one scene between Angela and Hodgins, really stands out. The radical honesty concept could have been taken further for both Brennan and Booth with their numerous secrets, Brennan in particular. In the end, though, Booth just expresses his gratitude, which isn’t any big revelation.
I don’t believe I’ve mentioned the Toyota product placement yet since I don’t really mind too much, but the whole automatic parking thing was a little much. Still, that’s part of what keeps Bones on air and we have to remember that.
Score: 8.4/10
