Bones (TV Series) The Mutilation of the Master Manipulator (2014) User Reviews

All over the place

[trustmeivegotthis · 1/10 · 7 April 2020]

The experiment the victim used is incredibly famous (Milgram) and not allowed to be performed anymore because of the psychological damage it causes. Andie is absolutely insane. Wendell and Andie have sex on lunch, he goes back to work, doesn't reply to a few of her texts and she shows up at the Jeffersonian? Its completely crazy behaviour and if that happened in real life it would be the end of a budding romance not a big romantic gesture. The whole episode is an unbelievable mess.

Weak One

[Hitchcoc · 5/10 · 8 March 2023]

This one never got into a flow. To start with a couple kids playing trash can bowling just happen to hit a can with a head in it which Brennan catches on the fly. We find that a psychology professor is the victim, but he was doing some strange stuff. One was a repeat of that same experiment done decades ago where person can't answer a question and get hit with an electrical shock. Each missed answer leads to a higher and higher voltage. Of course, the one delivering the shock is the best case. We have an insipid driving test being taken by Booth. And Bray, now in remission, begins to have a fling with one of his nurses. It just takes forever to get from one end to the other.

Scientific Errors

[kraemaer · 5/10 · 29 April 2022]

Used to love this show, but the writing (and apparently fact-checking) went way downhill this season.

They claim that the acidic pH of the blood causes the Hydrangea blooms to change color (they do change under high pH changes) when human blood is very slightly basic and would definitely not change the soil pH enough to make the blooms change.

Not very believable episode!

The experiment used by this professor is exactly same as Milgram experiment on obedience. It's one of the most famous and controversial psychology experiment out there. I was sure every psychology and many non psychology students know about it. I found it very unbelievable that those students would go through with it.
