It was a long time since I had to hold back the tears in the final minutes of a chapter of Bones as happened in this week's episode, The Male in the Mail , and all why? Because the writers masterfully able to exploit the confrontation that Booth had with his father and especially his reaction when he learned of his death.
Or rather, its negation, since he spent much of the chapter trying to pretend that nothing happened, even though everyone tried to show him they were concerned about their pain, Bones mainly. Moreover, since the beginning of this season's character became more emotional, more sensitive, but without losing its essence and its realistic shot unmistakable (as when he comments on the discomfort he feels because of pregnancy).
In fact, it was not just Bones who stole the show in the category emotion. From his first scene, see Pops on the screen was a guarantee of dialogue little more serious, but more emotional. The words that he said showed that Booth and how he should not only respect their grief over losing her son but also accept the pain over losing his father was beautiful.
Although my favorite sequence was when he gave Booth the box that his father had left him. Each speech was so well built that I felt let's say within the scene, participating in every sequence, every movement, every expression, every second and twisting so that the box was finally opened.
Now, if Bones and Booth secured the right amount of emotion to the chapter, the rest of the Jeffersonian team kept the curiosity with the case presented: pieces of a corpse delivered by mail in boxes.
This time the writers have outdone themselves, but they're not alone. The whole sequence where the boxes are opened worked perfectly to hold the attention because although we expect that something would come out of the post office building when the place was the scene of the first chapter, knowing that the place where all things "happen" were boxes was very unusual .
Another point that worked well was the presentation of the suspects. This time the investigation was built on my favorite way: with the presentation of several suspects, each confusing me even more because when I thought I had found out who had committed the crime and I am surprised with a new track that leads to another suspect. Perfect, as not seen for a long time.
In fact, everything in The Male in the Mail went so well that even the participation of each member of the Jeffersonian was fun, without affectation, perhaps because it has perfectly combined the unusual case investigated the personal drama played by Booth - passing, of course, by Bones and his unmistakable sincerity.
A chapter that gave pleasure of seeing and worth every minute.
Until next week.

Leverage Season 4 Epsiode 11/12 - The Experimental Job and The Office Job
After three months of sustained abstinence, Leverage returned with good episodes: The Experimental Job and The Office Job . Now there are only four episodes to the end of the season and that comforts me is knowing that the series is officially renewed for a fifth. Leverage still has a lot of wood to burn, dangerous villains were presented and then "forgotten" this season and it should return to the surface at any time. Also, I need more Hardison / Parker and Nate / Sophie .
In The Experimental Job was the focus Hardison and Parker . The relationship between the two grows with each episode, a rate that could be called "slow", but that is nonetheless consistent with the personality of the two. Just to refresh your memory, the previous episode had a very interesting interaction between the two dialogues with one of the cutest series when Parker was irritated by the difficulty of adapting to the needs required to run the job.
This time it was Parker who helped Hardison . The nerd had to be the bait and infiltrate a secret society, for it, had to learn to become popular, a role it with praise. And what was that conversation about virtual games? I was puzzled, but by no means ceased to be fun. I just wanted the kiss lasted longer. Ri liters of crisis and jealous of her "innocence" playing with the shock button the laboratory.
Eliot also had their moments of prominence and was surprised by the talk of "remorse" for the people he killed. I thought of Nikita , who is always saying something that stays in memory and she does not want anyone. The final blow of the job ran rather clichéd and yet he was less intelligent. The problem is that this probably helps Conrad will pay a high price in the future. Nate seems to take pleasure in collecting powerful enemies.
On The Job Office , while trying to unravel an embezzlement scheme, the team became part of filming a documentary in the company they were trying to save. I read some comments from readers praising the reference to the award-winning series The Office , but unfortunately do not watch the show, so I can not say more about it. Just know that episode was a different style of Leverage , but in the less interesting.
Synopsis of The Girls' Night Out Job : When a thief reaches a friend of Parker, Parker, Sophie and Tara trace the thief to the Consulate of Venezuela.
And you, what do you think the return of Leverage ? Happy with the interactions Parker / Hardison and Sophie / Nate ? I would like to see Tara back in the squad? Leave a comment.

New Girl Season 1 Episode 8 - Bad In Bed
It was an episode better than last week but still rather warm in the face of potential New Girl . Where the series with one of the most applauded of pilots fall season ? Jess still lovingly strange, but it was not funny. The striking feature is the girl so much that she is naturally clumsy. Mix this with scenes involving sex would, in theory, a recipe for a great episode of comedy. However, the writers squandered several opportunities to take us to laugh with subtle humor and sincere.
With Jess determined to take her relationship with Paul to the next level I honestly expected more from everyone, especially some of the fits of jealousy Nick . At no time felt that he was troubled by the involvement of Jess / Paul . As for Paul, pity, I pity him. In fact, every movement of embarrassing Jess I shared the same look of awe of him. Thankfully, things flowed when Jess was herself and stopped trying to "embed" a porn star.
Meanwhile, Schmidt has a way of being invited to the baby shower for her boss to compete with a coworker. For the first time, most of my time others were embarrassed by Schmidt , who prefer not to describe why this review is getting too pessimistic for my taste. I prefer it to interact with Cece or with Nick . Winston does not convince me of anything, but this time at least not irritated me.
Nick spent the whole episode worried about her hair and even yielded some interesting moments. And speaking of hair, it could not comment on how much I loved the hair Jess / Zooey in this episode, it never was so beautiful in New Girl ! Cece fell on my ideas for being a bad friend shopping. Who in their right mind would buy the best friend to this starfish for use in a long-awaited night?
The next episode, Christmas comes the New Girl: the gang goes to the party's end office of Schmidt and Jess gets bored with an expensive gift from Paul. To know more about it? Confirms the promo of " The 23rd ".

Modern Family Season 3 Episode 9 - Punkin Chunkin
Even here in Brazil we do not celebrate Thanksgiving, this is one of my favorite holidays. I love this time because, even without turkey, no pumpkin pie without the anticipation of Christmas family shack in the American series always seek to perfect in their dedicated episodes to date, which brings us, generally, a crop of cute moments and full of humor.
Not everyone likes it, of course. If you are against this idea, it can stand on the side of Pritchetts and wait because the folks at # TeamDreamers will throw a pumpkin in your face, using a giant slingshot.
Taking all of this, Modern Family, once again, this excellent episode third season. It was fun from start to finish and I loved the cute message that tried to pass, when dreams realistic and joined in a moment of fun, attempts, and family unity.
The great thing about the series remains the possibility of something like this also happen in your home. I'm not saying that the people in your family will go around destroying vegetables on holidays, but that question of differences, the quarrels and coexistence with different personalities. You can choose your friends but family, there is no escape (except winning the mega-sena and going far away to avoid seeing poor people next to you).
Resort has become a cliché that compliment, but I must say how the cast was cohesive. I'm becoming a fan of moments Haley / Alex. Acertadíssima the Decision to put them closer together in situations that usually end up in a car accident or destruction of any property of value.
Gloria always does well in the role of over-protective mother, especially in comparison with traditional Colombian their education. I wonder how it would be if it were more confident. I also find it very cool when Jay decides to meddle in the affairs of Manny. Once upon a time he ceased to be the stepfather to the boy's father, and even if they can not be sensational as Phil and Luke, work better today than ever before.
Sometimes I am trying to understand this odd couple formed by Cameron and Mitchell, but this episode gave me a good perspective, showing that, in fact, they are no different from Claire and Phil or Jay and Gloria. The thing is, Mitchell is always the best moments of "detonation" in her husband's testimony and I am surprised that the relationship still exists. I love the stories of rural boy who insists on telling Cameron. None of them are really funny, but the context in which they appear is always appropriate.
As usual, Phil led the episode and killed me with his man-shake there in the beginning. When I thought the commercial helmet TM massager would be the pinnacle, behold, the discussions with Claire, in the folding napkins and table decorations that would revolutionize the world. Do not have anything else to say except my traditional thanksgiving for another wonderful Thanksgiving episode of Modern Family.

Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Episode 13 - TO BE, ACT 1
This famous phrase was said so often that the context may have been forgotten by many times. At the moment when Hamlet says he's in that sentence out of Denmark with his mother alive and country intact, or take the words of his dead father and start a revenge that culminates in the death of people who are important to Hamlet. It is precisely this moment that is Jax.
The shots given by Opie at the end of last episode, as expected, do not kill Clay. The series makes good use this fact to create a new wave of events extending through the main characters (Jax, Tara and Gemma), secondary (TIG) and tertiary (Niners).
In the plot played by Tig that, believing that the shooting was the work of Clay Niners, some for revenge. Acting impulsively is a feature that boasts Tig since their first appearances, making this act completely believable in the diegesis of the series. The attempt goes wrong and Tig can only kill the old-lady of Laroy, starting a war between the Niners and Sons, which can be developed further in the coming episodes.
In a smaller plot, Jax Otto discovers the possibility of having betrayed the club, which could adversely affect the transaction between the Irish Kings and Cartel. Romeo tries to find among their informants if Otto had committed the Sounds, but can not find anything. I read somewhere on this critical mistake of cartel informants, since I think consistent with Potter's love for anonymity.
The main plot of the episode, and why have started quoting Hamlet was played by Jax, Gemma and Tara. With the turn of events, there was no reason and will to protect Jax the truth about the assassination of John. What is surprising is that Gemma was responsible for telling the truth a bit. The handling capacity of the character is so great that, seeing that everything would come out, she undertakes to give the cards to Jax, of course, omitting all those who cite it.
How well is the largest family, Tara and Gemma know that Jax will have to kill Clay. Let him live is a threat to everyone, but the consequences Jax leaves a dilemma worthy of Hamlet. Jax is the desire to follow it will leave Charming Tara, her mother, the only occupation he had in life and legacy of John, because I do not think the club can survive in the hands of any other member. If Jax Gemma desire to follow and take the club, he is inside the chaotic spiral SAMCRO, which was responsible for the death of his father.
As in Hamlet, Jax must choose a distant and happy life, or the legacy that led to fight constantly. When Hamlet chose to avenge the death of his father and take his place as crown prince of Denmark, many have died (including Hamlet himself). If Clay up to that bed, one way Jax will probably as tragic as that of Shakespeare's if all goes well and Clay is dead, the future of a war Jax is formed between Tara and Gemma.
The only certainty right now is that anything can happen.
PS: Incredible journey of transformation of Tara for the entire series. Now she is practically an old-lady, being able to see events from different angles and anticipate the actions of other characters.
