Critic’s Notebook: ‘Bones’ and ‘Sleepy Hollow’ Cross-Pollinate

The crossover episode seems not to be as common as it once was, but Fox dusts off the concept on Thursday night and gives it a noteworthy twist. Not only does the network serve up a double dose of crossover, but it also tries the unusual mixing of a series set in the real world with one that ventures into the fantasy realm. And, viewed in the right spirit, the stunt is amusing, even a little thought-provoking...

Even before the finale aired, I was reflecting about the season as a whole, and then I got distracted by the Bonesology fic challenge (which, if you’re reading, I’ll be getting back to, pronto), and then June turned into July, and now July has turned into August, and I’ve still got that season ten reflection post waiting to written.

BONES Debriefing: “Is It Someone’s Birthday Today?

They’re back, baby!
After what has felt like a couple of lifetimes but has actually been three and a half months, Bones finally returned on Thursday night with an episode that once again emotionally remembered their fallen friend Sweets while having fun digging deeper into the world of psychics… and yes, included the welcome return of Cyndi Lauper’s Avalon Harmonia.
Reminder: Unlike most people writing reviews, I don’t get screeners so, as usual, this is mostly written after just one viewing...
