Christma-Tele-Kwanz-Ukah-Vision Day 1: Bones 1x09

Happy Christma-tele-kwanz-ukah-vision everybody!  This is my celebration of the holiday season through television- one holiday-themed episode a day all the way until Christmas (and for the most part the episodes will be Christmas based.  I've yet to see a kwanza television episode, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open).  Enjoy the spirit of the holidays through the medium of television- make yourself a cup of hot coco, snuggle up in a blanket and immerse yourself in the season.

Bones “The Man in the Fallout Shelter” 1x09

The first day of Christma-tele-kwanz-ukah-vision happens to fall on a Thursday, which Bones fans know is Bones day!  And by that I just mean that Bones happens to air on Thursdays (9pm Fox, check it out).  Anyway, in honor of this fact I decided to kick off CTKUV with a Christmas themed Bones episode.

This episode, “The Man in the Fallout Shelter” focuses on Brennan and the gang trying to solve a decades-old murder while quarantined in the lab.  No one is particularly happy about being stuck in the lab for Christmas, but they band together as a make-shift family to celebrate anyway.  In solving the murder the squints, and Booth, uncover a complicated love story, which turns into a Christmas gift for some, and which causes Brennan to confront her own family history regarding Christmas.  A solid episode overall, and a nice way to combine character development and some Christmas spirit.  Oh and Booth gets slightly stoned off a preventative vaccination and sees sparkly lights for a while.  Check it out.
