What's your Favorite Episode? Can you pick just one? If you had to, what would it be? And why?

Judas on a Pole all the way - love the whole Max story arc anyway, and this has the added bonus of that fab scene when Booth rushes to Brennan's aid and doesn't apprehend Max *sigh* plus awesome Caroline.. "Sniper training, sixties, duck, got it"... and the squints saving Booth's job... and then of course, "There's more than one kind of family" - what more could you want?!!

Truth in the Lye. Because Booth has no shirt on. Duh. Also love the Angela/Hodgins banter in this ep, with Angela's less-than-tactful comments about the two wives and Hodgins' adorable "Happy to be judged" in the bathtub at the end. Plus, there's a teeny little part of me that actually likes Booth and Cam together, so I liked the ending.

My favorite is "Man in the Fallout Shelter" because, I like how the Squints and Booth get together and bond. We learn about Parker and I also just like the feel of Christmas.

Man its hard to pick.

My all time favorite I guess is "Two Bodies in the Lab"- it is the 1st Bones episode I taped, and while I never missed an episode, after this, I was hooked. I love the rescue scene, the hot blooded, (dreamy sigh)

ehmmm...it's so hard to pick one...I have to choose between Two Bodies in the lab, Woman in the sand, Aliens in the spaceship, Santa in the slush,..... ahh I don't know....or actually I do....
I guess Woman in the sand because they shared a room in hotel and there was only 1 big bed in the room...imagination works overtime!!!!!!

Jeez, so hard to just name one. If I really had to pick, it would be Woman in the Sand. Three words that make this one stand above the rest, "Roxie and Tony."

Pfft, this is a hard question. If pressed really hard I'll say that Judas on a Pole is my favorite episode - Bones finally seeing her Dad (I love Max), Russ is back, Booth is soo sweet, Caroline is there, DD directed the eppie, they played Running Up that Hill and of course the last scene.
Runners-Up are Aliens in a Spaceship and Knight on a Grid for the top. I also have a weak spot for The Man in the Bear, it is the eppie that made me an eternal and obsessive fan
But essentially I love all Bones episodes, the mentioned just a bit more.

Oh, God. How could you only pick one?

I'd have to say, either Blonde in the Game (I LOVE JASPER!) or Woman in the Garden (cos of the whole Booth-threatens-evil-gangsta-thing).

Two bodies in the lab.
I started watching bones in the 3rd season I think, (we were slow to pick it up in Oz! Or at least the part that I live in!) and this was the one episode that really grabbed me.
Loved it. Especially the scene where he rescues her, oh and the famous Hot blooded scene.....the scene in the mini....... the fight scene......yep definately my fave!

it would have to be for me hero in the hold- the mission of trying to save booth and fire in the ice because of the really adorable ending with the ice skating

Welll......

I loved double death of the dearly desperate, i now heaps of people didn't but i man i loved that episode!! It was funny and it just left me with a happy bBones feeling

The there is passenger int he over, gah the librarian scene!!!! And idk something about those old ladies made the episode better.

And Cinderella in the cardboard, well i loved tat too, there were cute scenes and i love the whole keeping the "affair" secret.

And f course the 100th, i loved that episode, i loved the mix of emotion the turns all the drama, the humour it was great.

Pick 1...... okay, pick JUST one.... *sigh*.... I truly don't think my brain can do it. [Only admins are allowed to see this image] Way too many to choose from.... I can't even narrow to a "top ten" realistically! Nearly every episode has at least one AWESOME moment...

I guess my episode for the moment (the one at the tip of my brain just now) would be The Verdict in the Story. This episode just shows so much quality of character for Brennan, and shows Booth observing it first hand. Love Angela doing what's right and refusing to testify... but the ending.... When Booth realizes just what Bones is willing to do/doing for her father while on the stand... just LOOK AT HIS FACE when he says "that's a lot of heart Bones"... and on the steps at the end when Sweets asks Caroline "are you going to arrest her"... Caroline says "you're gonna have to go back to school on this one... that's a damn fine woman there.".... Booth and Brennan looking intently into each others eyes in that moment...

Showed something much deeper there....

Death in the Saddle for two reasons...

1. The speech Booth gives at the end about crappy sex vs love...best Booth scene ever!

2. My fav Brennan quote.."STOP! Or I'll kick you in the testicles!"

pfew only 1 right

I totally loved Judas on a pole, not one boring moment, everything just clicked.

But I have to mention some honorable moments that I LOVED in other episodes, that made me stop breathing for a while, good acting and lots of emotions

in non particular order

5x07 The Dwarf in the Dirt - Gordon Gordon Wyatt basiclly explaining to Booth that he's so in love with Brennan that he's losing his mind . Why? The right music and the perfect ending scene.

5x05 A Night at the Bones Museum - The looks on both B/B faces at the end....they were sooooo going to kiss if the ''stupid'' squint squad hadn't shown up.

4x21 Mayhem on a Cross - Sharing some awfull childhood experiences in Sweets office. Booth's face almost made me cry.

4x09 The Con Man in the Meth Lab - When Booth raises his voice to Brennan asking if she thinks he's a loser. Angry emotional Booth is Hot

1x21 The Soldier on the Grave - Booth opening up about his sniper history

3x04 The Secret in the Soil - Booth's speech about crappy sex

5x16 The Parts in the Sum of the Whole - like I could forget this, I think I stopped breathing for the last 2.30 min of the episode the first time I saw it, but I guess almost everyone did.


And god so many more pop into my head while typing, I guess I have to mention some none BB scenes as well very quickly;
- Hodgela in Aliens in a Spaceship
- Cam and Michele in The Doctor in the Den

Beli

Yeah, I agree that moment in Con Man in Meth Lab when Booth kinda "lost it" for just a moment and let his anger show when he thought Bones was calling him a loser... and we all knew it was only cause he cares so damn much about her and what she thinks of him.... He was totally HOT with all that raw emotion showing! His character always is in those moments, but this was the only time he showed it straight directed to Brennan....

but it was also pretty cool when later (I think it's this same epi) when Bones asks if he's still mad at her and he says "of course not Bones)... he HATES losing control...

Man in the mourge? Booth so protective, Booth hiding her ear ring, Caroline at the police station. Booth and Brennen on why he's nice to her. "Jeuse is not a zombie"

Totally my favorite as well ! And I love baby in the bough also so sweet those two caring for a baby.

It seems impossible to pick one single episode, but I think I have to say "The Woman in Limbo". Why? Important parts of Brennan's past is revealed, Brennan shows a lot of emotion, the actual forensics were interesting, we're introduced to Russ, and it's the episode that involves one of my favorite B/B quotes ever: "I know who you are".

Here's how I decided...if I only had time to watch ONE episode say..tomorrow...which one would I pick and I would say probably "Mayhem on a Cross" I can't explain why...just the whole revealing of Sweets' background, and talk of baby ducks, the scene where Booth shoots the speaker and then looks like a little boy being scolded by Dad, and the way he coached and cheered Brennan on during the interogations, and of course the final scene where I still even after seeing it a million times, I still swear he's going to be quicker and their hands will touch.

Oooh, yeah, I love Mayhem on a Cross... that's one of my tops too!

My favourite episode was the Wannabee in the Weeds. It was just so fun with Booth and Brennan, and she lightened up, and performed in front of all of them. I think it could have been such a turning point for the two of them, but then... Crazy Ol Pam shoots him and Brennan truly lets her feelings be seen, when he's lying there on the floor. The fallout was her digressing back to her "I don't care attitude" and since then she's been afraid to release emotion. I just thought it was amazing acting by both ED and DB. And to me, a pivotal episode in the show. A frustrating one, but still.

In no particular order, my top 5 are: Two Bodies in the Lab, Killer in the Concrete, Woman in the Sand, Stargazer in the Puddle, and Aliens in a Spaceship.

These are the episodes I could watch over and over. I really love them. They highlight the characters at their best.

I also love the entire Howard Epps arc. The Girl With the Curl comes pretty close to being in my top 5 as well because I love the conversation Booth and Brennan have at the end: "This is what happened when Rome fell... objectification of women, beauty as a sense of self-esteem..."

The Girl with the Curl. They had such great chemistry at the end of that episode.When they look at each other and say together "Thai Food" You knew they were totally into each other. I felt it through the TV

The End in the Beginning. It's the one that got me hooked, a sentimental favourite and was completely different to anything else I'd seen a drama do before. Plus, I keep seeing that ep in a new light after all the s5 references.

Honourable mentions go to Aliens in a Spaceship (for raw Brennan-ness) and Woman in the Sand for the fun factor.
