My favorite episode
I know that I might be in the minority for saying this, but there is something about this episode that warms my heart. I know that's probably weird with how devastatingly sad the ending is, but I love this episode. The music that they chose in the beginning was amazing, especially with the choice of Nickelback's Far Away, which fits in well with the emotional rollercoaster that BnB have only just begun. I'm also just a huge fan of karaoke, so that might influence my love. I also loved the meta use of an American idol contestant as the victim before Booth mentions the show later. "Because of me?" hilarious Brennan line. I also adore how both Brennan and Zack can sing despite having personalities that many people would not assume lives Music. It just shows that music is for everyone and even the hyper-rational can be creatively gifted. I also love the stark contrast of the happiness of Booth as he watches the girl he loves (even if he doesn't realize it yet) as she sings with what happens 30 seconds later.
