Greatest Musical of All Time

Greatest Musical of All Time: Into the Woods
Into the Woods' music and lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim and the book is by James Lapine. It is a musical that revolves around the original stories of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Ridding hood, Rapunzel and a new installment of the Baker and his wife. All characters and their stories interact in a very impressive and well thought out way. The musical is very different from the Disney stories and is not suitable for young children. The musical starts out as follows the adventures of Cinderella wanting to go to the ball, Jack trading his cow for beans, Little Red Ridding Hood's journey to Grandmother's house, Rapunzel living in the tower with the witch (though she believes the witch is her mother and lives quite happily for a while- Rapunzel is taken from her parents in exchange for a plant), the Baker and his wife trying to have a child by creating a potion for the witch. All the stories connect together in a very developed way and Sondheims musical shows how controlled chaos adds so much more value to the stage.

Bones- Characters Who Should Come Back


A List of Bones Characters That Should Come Back
BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!!!
 
10. Jacob Brodsky- (Season 6) He is known as the notorious sniper who killed our beloved Vincent, Booth is able to catch Brodsky, but I'm not sure what happened to him after that.   

9. Payton Perotta (A.K.A. Special Agent Perotta)- (Season 4) She worked with Dr. Brennan when Booth was a murder suspect in the episode "Fire in the Ice" and when Booth injures his back in the episode "The Princess and the Pear." Booth flirts with her when they first meet and is embarrassed when the second time when she comes over to Booth's apartment and she sees Brennan cracking Booth's back.

8.Genevieve Shaw- (Season 6-7) She is an FBI agent who sometimes works cases with Booth. She's a single mother, she has a three-year-old son named Danny who's cared for by Shaw's mother when she works.

7. Russ Brennan- (Season 1-) He is the estranged brother of Dr. Brennan, his birth name was Kyle Keenan but when he was seven he became Russ Brennan when his father, Max Keenan told him if he used his birth name again it would kill Temperance (formally Joy) and his mother. His fiancĂ©e/possible wife is Amy has two children Emma and Haley (who has cystic fibrosis)

6. Gordon-Gordon Wyatt- (Season 2-5) He was an FBI psychologist who was the doctor to Booth after he shoots a clown on an ice cream truck. He helps Booth and Brennan work through problems in their partnership. In the episode "Mayhem on a Cross" he announces his retirement as an FBI psychologist to become a chef. Booth also discovers that he's a rocker from when he was younger known as Noddy Comet. He also tried to help Booth after he had his brain tumor removed.

5. Jared Booth- (Season 4-) He is the younger brother of Booth. He dated Brennan when he 1st met her. Booth often took the beatings from his father for Jared. In the episode, "The Hero in the Hold" Jared disobeys protocol and was dishonorably discharged. He decides he wants to go to India and asks Booth if he wants him to come with him, but he doesn't go with him so Jared can make mistakes and learn from them. He later returns in season five with his fiancĂ© Padme Dalaj and when Booth runs a background check on her he discovers she was an escort and tells Jared but he tells them he already knows that. He is know married to her and hasn't been seen for a while after his marriage.

4. Parker Booth- (Season 1-) He is the son of Booth and his ex-girlfriend Rebecca. He is first introduced when he is four in the episode, "The man in the fallout shelter." He's in the custody of his mother. He's named for Teddy Parker who was a in the army with Booth but he died when he was shot. He gets along best with his father and enjoys spending time with him. Parker lives with his mother in England but comes back to meet Christine and is very excited to meet his half-sister. He makes a mobile for Christine showing how much he loves her. He comes back again when Booth marries Brennan and he's the best man at the wedding, so he came back fairly recently but I would like to see more of him.

3. Tim "Sully" Sullivan- (Season 2) While Booth is in therapy for shooting a fake clown on an ice cream truck Dr. Brennan is paired with him in the episode, "The girl in the gator." First when Dr. Brennan meets him she doubts him because of his many hobbies/interests and assumes he isn't serious about his job, but Booth tells her this is only because he recently lost his partner. He becomes Dr. Brennan's love interest and they are going steady until he wants to take a sabbatical and sail around the Caribbean for a year but she doesn't go with him. He is supposed to come back in a year, but it is unaware what happened to him.

2. Hannah Burely- (Season 6) Booth meets her in Afghanistan and they become involved in a romantic relationship that Booth describes as "serious as a heart attack." She surprises Booth when she comes to D.C. She becomes friends with Dr. Brennan and talks to her after she confesses her feelings to Booth. She creates a good relationship with Parker. When Booth proposes to her she says no and he's devastated for a while. I have read many fanfictctions about Hannah's return and I would like to see how the directors would bring her back.     

1. Zack Addy- (Season 1-3, but has some extra appearances) He worked as the intern to Dr. Brennan until season 2 when he became a doctor. His best friend is Dr. Jack Hodgins and he blows up his own hands at the end of season 3 so Hodgins wouldn't be hurt. After it is discovered that he was Gormogon's apprentice he is sent to a mental institution. In the Episode "The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond" Zack is shown being seen as a patient of Dr. Sweets and is being visited by Jack Hodgins, but its not currently known if they still visit him. He uses Sweet's card to escape from the institution and help solve a murder and at the end of this episode he confesses to Sweets that he never actually killed the Lobbyist and the man who did was killed by Gormogon. He appears in the 100th episode of Bones, but as a flashback.

About Me

My name is Nicole, I'm going to be a Sophomore in high school. My favorite class now is History. I live in Massachusetts with my parents, two brother, and our dog, Rainy. Rainy was a street dog from Puerto Rico until he was moved to the Northeast Animal Shelter when he was ten months old. He lived there for three days before we adopted him in 2009. Some of my favorite TV shows are Bones, The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers and Big Bang Theory. I also enjoy reading but don't have as much time as I used to. I know this blog won't be popular anytime soon, but I hope someone will see this and give me some feedback.
