1. The Plotlines: Psychics, mysterious couriers, prodigies, neighborhood wars, chicken-men, dwarf wrestlers...victims, suspects, and witnesses seldom get more fascinating than on "Bones dvd", and this only covers the first half-dozen episodes of the season! Motives are frequently unexpected, even weapons can be surprising!
2. The Chemistry: It's easy to take it for granted that a beautiful girl and hunky guy starring in a long-running series will be bedmates after a season or two (many shows even advertise the sex more than the storylines), but "Bones" creator, Hart Hanson, knows that the electricity between Brennan and Booth works best because their attraction is (as yet) unfulfilled. It gives their friendship a wry humor and wisdom much more mature than most TV couples share.
3. The Humor: Every episode has at least one very funny subplot, as well as the constant stream of one-liners; among my Season Five favorites are Booth beating up the midget wrestler in the ring (while being booed!), Brennan's High School reunion (a near-parody of every high school slasher film), with guest star 'Freddy Kruger', himself, Robert Englund, a very amusing flashback of the very first case of Booth and the 'Squints' (with the welcome return of Eric Millegan as Zack Addy), and another episode with Bones dvd collection of the guys waiting in line for tickets to "Avatar" (even funnier because Joel Moore, playing intern Colin Fisher, is actually in the film!)...
4. Returning Villains: One of the BEST series' villains, the Gravedigger, returns (and in a logical context, at the trial), in one of the scariest episodes of the entire series...I was actually shook, watching it, expecting something horrible as a resolution! Bravo!
5. The Seasons: Beautiful and bittersweet, with so many loose ends tied up that many Bones dvds for sale's fans were actually afraid that the series itself was ending! Will Cam be left alone, as everyone ponders leaving the Jeffersonian to fulfill their own dreams? I loved it!
