I was aware before watching this episode that it was going to incorporate characters from Hart Hanson's new show based on The Locator book series. However, these characters were not incorporated into the show very well. It was simply a pilot of "Finder" that set up the show how Bones typically does, but then abandoned nearly all of their work. There was hardly enough crossover to call it an episode of Bones. That being said, I did appreciate the character dynamics of the cast of "Finder." Geoff Stults will prove to be very capable of holding a lead role in a television series and I adore Hart Hanson's work on Bones so I expect good things from him.

first, let me say that i am a HUGE bones fan, from the beginning. so, it was a shameless plug for a spin-off...what's new? this sort of thing is done all the time, for good or ill, besides which, it's good marketing strategy. it is what it is, & i have learned to accept what i cannot change. it was obvious from maybe 10 minutes into the show what was going on, so i sat back to enjoy. that said, i don't think the bones people were at all out of character, the characters from the projected spin-off were enjoyable & the premise interesting...what's to complain about? i, for one, will be looking forward to the premiere of this new series.
Entertaining, but certainly not Bones
abbyrd8826 November 2011
I agree that this was not an episode of Bones. It felt like the Bones characters were the guests as the Finder cast and plots were clearly in focus. Another reviewer phrased it well by saying the episode was Booth-free and Bones-lite.
Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable hour of television. Though whoever was playing Walter's acting left something to be desired, I was intrigued by Walter and Ike's characters. It was also an entertaining plot. This did its job by getting me interested in the new series, especially since I am already such a big fan of Hanson's work.
That said, the glaring, somewhat unforgivable issue with this was that they should not have tried to pass this as an episode of Bones. It obviously wasn't. Viewers felt deceived as this so called Bones episode was quite obviously a poorly disguised, extended promo for the Finder. If viewers had gone into this with the proper mindset, I am certain the response would not have been so negative. This should have been the pilot for the Finder. It would have been a perfect way to segway Bones into the spin off series. Oh well.

Great writing and direction

As a die hard Bones fan, I'd have to say that I was very pleased to see the Jeffersonian team shaken out of its comfort zone. I was jazzed to find out that there is a spin off in the works. There is plenty of TV for many shows out there folks. Get a DVR.
The acting was excellent. The writing and direction was fresh and clever. The fictitious Dr Brennan would want you all to use some objectivity and let the episode stand on its own merits, and in doing so I give this episode a 10.
Plenty of TV shows successfully take a different approach to some episodes. Different points of view, directing styles or even Ryan O'Neill adds dimension and flavor to the show.

Loved it!
waaliya-7-62346127 April 2011
I'd like to start with this: I loved this series opening!
I think that a main why reason many people do not like the Finder episode is because they were expecting to watch a Bones episode, not the opening to a new series. For example, they were expecting to drink water (something we have all the time) and instead got pop, so it shocked them.
If you look at this show from a different point of view, however, in the light of this could be a new show: I loved the characters, I think they all mesh together very nicely and I'd definitely watch this new series and recommend it to my friends!

The cast mesh really well and like how Walter's keen sense of detection help him find the lost articles. My wife and I were watching "Bones" like we always do and I said to her this would be a great spin-off and when I check it out was happy to see it was going to be one! I was reading the TV Guide article about the producer saying he's afraid it won't take off and I totally disagree. He also mention something about possible crossovers with "Bones". Again I disagree and the "Finder" or what ever the new title is going to be will be able to stand on it's own. Besides I am one of those "Bone" fans who wouldn't want anything to come between Booth and Bones. Because I didn't like it when Booth hooked up with the reporter and was relieved when that was over.
What the hell is that accent?
grdawzx10 October 2020
No use to Bones.
claireabellej21 September 2020
Ok episode, but not much Bones just a Segway to the Finder shoe. Thank god Saffron Barrows didn't continue in the role, even if it was a short lived series. How can an English woman have the worst English accent I've ever heard in my life.
Any other kind of promotion would have been better
nina_nicky30 April 2011
I didn't even know that this episode was meant to promote a "spin-off" show, but it became pretty evident during the first couple minutes. In fact, the new show's characters were so heavily featured that I started wondering and looked it up online, even before the episode finished.
Seriously, if you try to pull a show starter off this way, at least do it so the audience doesn't notice what you're doing. Not to mention don't make a whole lot of Bones fans miss out on an actual Bones episode - because this wasn't one. The new show also won't be a real spin-off, because no actual Bones characters will be in it.
HOWEVER, that being said, the Finder characters ARE interesting and the new show itself might very well be worth watching, especially if they keep it up with the cool music. It just doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Bones.
So, in conclusion: - this = not a Bones episode - new show = not a Bones spin-off - but: possibly interesting to watch - worst part: incredibly lame and absurd promotion idea

Hatokirei27 April 2011
This is quite possibly the first time watching Bones and hoped the episode would be done sooner rather then later. I'm going to assume this is an attempt to create a spin-off of another series, but as the other reviewer suggested, the actors brought in for The Finder, where not endearing, or personable at all. It was like a failed attempt at Psych, with less then fair acting. Even 'seasoned' actors like Michael Duncan (whom I adore) seemingly forced lines from the script, which is sad because he was acting his fairly usual gentle tough guy persona. I truly hope this isn't a foreshadowing of things to come from this series.
Absolutely dire.

I was aware that this episode was essentially a pilot for a Bones spin-off and I did try to give it a little extra lee-way, but really this was pretty awful from start to finish.
I felt like the writers had fumbled around with a list of clichés that they figured would tick the right boxes with their audience. ("Yeah, we'll get this massive, ripped black dude and have him spout these really intellectual sounding quotes! It's juxtaposition! Tarentino did it in Pulp Fiction!" "Let's give the lead character brain damage as result of fighting in Iraq! That's like, soooo topical! And it covers the patriotic types AND the anti-war faction!" "Slap a fake tattoo on that posh British chick and make her mispronounce every third word! That's like, soooo edgy!") The result being three very two-dimensional characters, forcing back-story down the audience's throat with both hands in attempt to draw the audience in. It doesn't work.
Even casting the usually brilliant Michael Clarke Duncan as Walter Sherman's wingman, Leo did nothing to bring the character to life. And whilst I'm on the subject of casting, my hopes were raised when I saw Danny Trejo's name pop up at the start of the show. I thought at least there might be a decent villain behind it all, but no, he was playing a bishop. Seriously? There could have been an awesome smack-down between Danny Trejo and Michael Clarke Duncan, but instead there is one lame duck of a scene with Trejo telling Walter that he restored his faith in God????? Oh, and spoiler alert, the bad guy turns out to be the guy at the museum, you know, the only other new character in the whole damn episode? Big surprise there, guys.
Not only did this episode fall completely flat as a pilot for a new show, it robbed the regular Bones audience of a REAL episode. It failed as a pilot and it failed as an episode of Bones. I hope to god "The Finder" never gets picked up.

Spin-off? Ouch
nospam-56721 April 2011
Sadly, this episode seems to be the wannabe spin-off version of "Bones." And it's a retread of the "The Glades" show, instead of an honest and interesting spin on a great show. Then again Criminal Minds just did their, ouch, a "C.S.I." spin-off (the leader stiffly played by Forest Whitaker using David Caruso's painful egoist drone, leading a semi-legal F.B.I unit with some foreign guy hoping American girls will find him as sexy as an Australian vacuum cleaner salesman).
The problem here is that Bones is a gem, expertly mixing two classic formulas against each other: the fish-out-of-water Special Agent Seeley Booth facing off with the fish-unaware-it's-fish Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan. Bones, as it is, is network programming at its best. But whoever came up this "pshyn-off" should be cowering in shame.
This proposed Bones spin-off offer is simply an I'm-So-Cool Iraq War vet Walter Sherman (played by shirt-shedding muscle boy Geoff Stults) with his bartendress/pilot/I'm-More-Than-Cool maybe-girlfriend Ike Latulippe (Ike? nickname for what?) (played by Brit model-maybe-actress/collagen-lip Saffron Burrows) and his lawyer(?) Leo Knox (ala Hunter Thompson's lawyer Oscar Zeta Acosta) (played by over-pumped-for-a-law-grad Michael Clarke Duncan). Ouch! Not exactly the delicate and develop-able character-driven intimacy of the original Bones crew. Now, I actually like Stults, Burrows, and Duncan as actors but this is stereotyping at its worst.
The preview of the spin-off is more like some bad pulp series of the 1980's. Sadly, based on this sneak peek, Geoff Stults, here, does not have the self-effacing intimacy that Mark Valley brings to "Human Target." The crew of Burrows and Duncan do not have the character depth to evolve and catch the viewers the way Bones itself has. Heck, Bones is six years of success and we're still waiting with bated breath as to what happens when Jack and Angela's child is born (and what Billy Gibbons' reaction will be - we actually care what a minor character thinks and fear his return).
While the USA Channel has the fish-out-of-water formula down to a tee, the networks are wading in the shallows with their programming. Even when they have a great formula like Bones, they don't know it and they don't know not to screw with it.
Actually, Emily Deschanel's sister Zooey's cotton commercial, shown during the show, held more interest than this episode. Then again, She and Him is a strange and fascinating variation off the typical pop collaboration.

If zero was available as a rating, that's what this episode would have received. I'd guess that about 80 - 90% of this episode was spent promoting Hart Hanson's new show "The Finder" and it wasn't very good. For some reason it looks like a poor man's version of "Burn Notice. Maybe's it's the Florida setting and the 3 member crew. Anyway, it's not what I expected when I sat down to watch what I thought was an episode of Bones.
This season of Bones has been average at best and with this latest excuse for an episode, I'm not sure Bones is worth my time anymore. What I'd like to see is for someone to sue FOX for promoting this as a new episode of Bones.

Nothing more than a back-door pilot
wfaulk22 April 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This episode of Bones was nothing more than a back-door pilot for a USA Network type of show. The regular Bones crew appears for, probably, less than ten minutes in the entire episode. And, my god, was it awful.
The notion is that our main character can find anything, but, other than some banal observations about a dead man's apartment, nothing shows that he actually has the ability to do that.
In particular, the brunt of the investigation involved finding a map. It was found by reconstructing an image of the map, which Angela did, and had started before Finder guy showed up asking about it. In addition, there was a subtle twist to the map that Hodgins deduced and told Finder guy about. After Finder guy basically takes a boat to exactly where Hodgins tells him (there's some hand waving about math, which undercut even this minuscule element of Finder guy's powers by having it duplicated by one of his incredibly over-the-top aides, and which is trivial math to begin with) he finds a recently deceased body and brings it back to the Jeffersonian, where the map is found inside its throat.
Finder guy takes credit for finding the map, even though he had no idea it was inside the body. Brennan agrees, pointing out that the body would never have been found in the open sea without him. But all Finder guy did was dive at the spot that Hodgins and Angela pretty much explicitly gave him, based on absolutely zero information from Finder guy at all.
Unsurprisingly, this episode was written by Hart Hanson himself. I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice that there have been a lot of bad episodes of Bones this season, and most of those episode have been written by Mr. Hanson. Hopefully this will be the nail in that coffin, and he will let people obviously more qualified than himself do the writing for the show.

Switcheroo
brystonmama26 April 2011
This felt like a huge product placement. If you are promoting a new series do so but not by doing the ol' switcheroo. And some of the comments at Facebook seem fake like production company hired some PR place to promote positive feedback. I am sure it is something TV spin doctors do. Look at the cell phone company who hired actors to be happy about the products. Boo to Bones for not showing a REAL episode. The Finder is a rehash of failed shows and the only actor I like is Michael Clark Duncan. Even his character is badly written. Please stop doing crossovers all of you networks. If I want to watch a new show I will do so on my own not by force.
Terrible, awful, incredibly disappointing.
AlysonStearns22 April 2011
This episode really demonstrated for me how terrible Bones has become over the past season. I used to absolutely love Bones; it was the rare quirky, smart, and heartfelt show that could also be charming and hilarious. Now, Bones is just a vehicle for product placements. I really feel that this episode was basically just another product placement, although this time it was for a different show. But who CARES about this other show? When Bones viewers watch Bones, they want to see BONES characters. I felt like the stupid Finder and his team did not mesh well with the Bones staff at all, and the insinuation of a possible relationship between Bones and the Finder is frankly just insulting to all Bones fans. We've waited so long for Booth and Bones to get together, and now this crap? Seriously. I'm so over it. Although I have debated for a long time about just giving up on this show, this episode just pushed me over the edge. So long, Bones. I'm sorry it had to end this way, but your horrible writing and constant product pushing has disappointed me for the last time.
Very disappointing
Elebriwien_Huine6 June 2011
I think this has been the worst "Bones" episode ever. Where were Bones, Booth and all the other main carachters? This wasn't even a Bones episode, just a coarse way to try to introduce a new series that I definitely won't see. Never. When I watch a series I like to actually see the series, not a fake episode where the main carachters seem to be the guests on the show, and not the hosts. They don't do a single thing. It's all done by Walter's intuition. Can't stand Walter and his attitude, nor the other two's. Not to speak of the advisors: who's seen a diver jump off a boat like that? Awful. This episode has been a completely waste of time, for me.
Bones aka The Finder
sallysima16 May 2011
Have just watched this show, I had read that it was an opening for a new "Bones" style show based in Florida; well it wasn't Bones as we know it and when Saffron Burrows spoke for the first time she reminded me of Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, the fake Cockney accent was plain awful. In fact I looked her up to see where she was from and had a shock when I discovered she was English, obviously her normal English accent is so posh that they had to get in Mr Van Dyke's speech trainer's grandson/daughter to teach her "'ow to speak cockne,init". If the production team want people to watch this new show either change Saffron's accent to mid-Atlantic English or if going to stick to a cockney speaking barmaid find someone who can at least make a good effort at it.
Stinks worse than old socks..
cadaynaproductions16 June 2020
This episode stank the place out. Cliche ridden nonsense from start to finish. The worst, though, is Saffron Burrows speaking a bizarre Dick Van Dyke from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang version of Cockney English. Why, ffs..? Take a tip, avoid like the plague.
Boring and Confusing
robby-ray28 April 2011
I thought that this episode was absolute rubbish. It was disgustingly obvious that they wanted to promote a spin-off.
It was far too focused on promoting a spin off that it went far away from what we all watch Bones for! I will admit that it got me interested in the spin-off show, but it seemed more like an episode from the spin-off than an episode of Bones. I'm shocked that this was allowed to air. If we wanted to watch an episode of this spin-off, we would have waited instead of watching Bones.
I am a big fan of Bones, and I was looking forward to another good episode. I hope that the rest of the season makes up for this hack job.

Turn it off
writtengrey24 April 2011
Their is no point in watching this if you're a Bones fan. This isn't an episode of Bones, it's an attempt to launch another shot ( I wouldn't even call it a spin off because I've never seen these characters before). What's worse is these "Finder" characters are so shallow and poorly acted. What's great about Bones is the science and explanations, the character banter and humor. The "finder" cast does none of this. They just magically find things and get point to point. Plus none of them actually seem to know each other or be friends. they use trite concepts like paranoia, catch phrases and terrible accents that it will fill in the holes of the characters. I'm a bit annoyed with that 10 star rating above that's so obviously a paid plant.
Misrepresentation and Flat Out Lies
abodie25 April 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Look, I just want to watch Bones, okay? I watch an episode, I wait for the preview for the next week and I come back for more.
The preview for this week's episode looked like a fun adventure with our heroes, Bones and Booth. Pirates, a treasure map- what's not to love? Instead, we get a surprise pilot for a new show, very little Booth and Bones, and what time we did get with them was seriously out of character.
At least NCIS had the courtesy to tell the viewers that they were setting up a new show in the preview. This feels like a trick- like they knew that we wouldn't watch if we knew it was going to be Bones-lite and Booth free.
All I know is that now I don't really have any interest in watching this new show. The characters made me so angry and the lack of the Jeffersonian crew was frustrating and less than fun.
Plus, the new cast just reeks of Mary Sue-ism. Not as bad as Hannah was but not good.
Guys, this was a fail all the way around. Don't do it again.

shiffman25 April 2011
I'd already read going in that The Finder was a pilot, so I wasn't expecting a proper Bones episode. Not happy about that, but I still hoped for an entertaining hour. I didn't get it, and I'm trying to be fair and not judge the first appearance of a new team the way I would an established show. Plenty of good shows had weak pilots or even weak first seasons; it takes time for the actors to ease their way into their roles, to develop their interactions with the rest of the cast, and for the writers to figure out what works and what doesn't. This wasn't year six of Bones; it's year one (or zero or minus one) of some new show.
With that said, I wanted my hour back. These are not people I want to spend any more time with, especially Geoff Stults, who isn't much of an actor. He had one good scene with Emily Deschanel, who acted him right out of the scene. Her performance was emotional and believable, neither of which he achieved.
Someone described an actor as filling a role the way concrete fills a hole. Yeah, that's Stults.

akicork28 April 2019
The last few times that I've been box-watching Bones, I've managed this. The only episodes that have been totally unviewable have been the cretinous "The Yanks in the UK". But this time, no. It just doesn't fit. The story's wrong, the cast doesn't fit, the chemistry is wrong: it's clearly levering a new universe into our Bones universe, and very clumsily in the process. So, I'm afraid that on this viewing (fourth?) I have downgraded this to unviewable.
