Why is no one talking about Bones
Like okay it’s an old show but it has:
- Multiple women in named lead roles
- Who are portrayed as strong, intelligent, independent, artistic, romantic, sexual, needy, feminine, and any combination of the above.
- One of them, their boss, is a half-black woman
- It pass not only the Bechdel test, but also the Martha Jones and Cookie Lyons Test
- Also passes the Coach-Winston Test
- They have multiple people of color in recurring, named, important roles
- They call out typical istances of sexism, racism, and other bigotry
- Later on, one of the named, recurring, more important characters is an actively practicing muslim
- Who when confronted about 9/11 gives a BEAUTIFUL roasting monologue and says “They hijacked my religion that day too”
- When discussing a trans victim, when a character says “not a real woman” they are immediately shamed for ignorance and corrected. (Otherwise, by every other character, the victim is referred to by correct pronouns)
- Corrects negative stereotypes against Voodoo*, polygamy, sexuality, transgenderism/transexuality, homosexuality, physical and mental disability, and more
- It’s also hilarious and really intelligent and has some INSANE plot twists and really interesting ongoing story arcs and is very sweet and adorable and sad and intense and scary
- Just an awesome freaking show okay
- Like forget that SuperWhoLock crap
- Get some beautiful openly sexual poc female boss coroner in your life
(Disclaimer: There are definitely a lot more white people than people of color - but there are also more PoC than in basically every other show I’ve seen people go on about on this site so…idk take it as you will) * = Specifically New Orleans Voodoo, which I’ve read is not the same and should not be enterchanged with Haitian Vodou. If I am wrong or misinformed please let me know
The progression of her dislike as her daughter continues the song is what will carry me on until next week
Dr. Temperance Brennan has seen some disgusting and horrifying shit over the years, but I think her daughter and her husband singing this horribly innacurate song might just top the list for her.
when the fbi gets stuck, we call in the squints.
I listened to the universe. I felt something. I’m sad.
That’s so much better than dead. Or even dead inside.

i didnt know you watched bones?
Oh hon, you’ve not been around here long but that’s fine.
A brief history of my relationship with Bones:
- It was my first major obsession back in 2007
- It was the first ever TV show I bought on DVD
- My blog used to be just Bones, Castle, & Criminal Minds, out of those shows I only still watch one.
- I lost interest in Bones in season 8, it just felt too much about couples rather than the cases, so one week I decided not to watch and it sort of went from there and I just never caught up.
- My URL used to be criminallybones & my blog was just wall-to-wall Bones/CM but i’m 90% sure that was during my no-tag stage.
- Even though I stopped watching religiously in season 8, I have seen a few random episodes that have been on TV since then.
