Reviews For: Blame Game

GGjunkie33 2008-01-31 ch 1,	abuseReally liked the way you portrayed emotion in this story! Great job with describing Brennan's stony stature fending the reporters off, even though inside shes more of a mess that she lets on. Loved the hand connection moment, very sweet! This is how I hope they'll do it on the show! :D Keep up the great work!
jemb 2007-08-22 ch 1,	abuseI really enjoyed reading your entry. I have a feeling that Max's trial will be a big part of the coming season and to see your idea of how it might go was interesting. I could feel the emotions you had the characters feeling and your descriptions made the scenes easy to visualise. I am positive Booth does feel guilty for being the one to put Max behind bars and that he might feel that Brennan blames him for taking her father away from her. I can also see that Brennan wouldn't blame Booth - another entry for the challenge mentioned how similar Max and Brennan are - that they see things in black and white. Brennan knows her father is guilty of murder and for her murder is murder and the killer should be punished, so I can see how she would be torn between her stand on right and wrong and the love for the father she thought she had lost. The little moments between Booth and Brennan were sweet and touching, and highlight how strong their partnership is, how well they understand each other even though they may not realise it. Listening to the song as I read only made the story more intense and hightlighted the emotions you wrote about. A great entry from you, yet again. I certainly hope you have more inspiration for the next challenge!

labsquint 2007-08-10 ch 1,	abuseI really like the take that you went with for this song. I'm finding it interesting how we all went in really different directions with it. I like the way you've described the trial as being a media circus. In that scene by the window, when Brennan is standing by herself, it accentuates how solitary she is amongst that large group of people. And I liked this: "Leno had already made her a punch line when he suggested Max might not be in trouble with the law if he had followed his daughter’s instructions on how to dispose of a body as detailed in Red Tape White Bones." It put it into the real world for me without being heavy handed. The private scene in the room was nicely done. Brennan usually seems open with Booth about her emotions now, but you've expressed that in this case she hasn't been until that moment which really indicates how upset she really is if she wasn't even willing to let Booth in. Until it just got to be too much for her. Booth's insecurity about his part in Max's capture and arrest and his relief when she relieves him of responsibility was very in character and seemed genuine. This was a great companionship piece. No in-your-face romance, it wasn't called for here. But it was an excellent view into their relationship as partners and friends at an emotionally stressful time for both of them. Very nicely done...
AtMyBehest 2007-08-09 ch 1,	abuseThis was very, very good. You used the characters well and portrayed a scene that could actually happen. I love the way you got in their heads and the final scene was extremely good. I really enjoyed it.
Ashley055 2007-08-09 ch 1,	abuseI loved this story. Very in character ... I can actually see this as a real scene in the show. Great job! Ash
BBAddict 2007-08-08 ch 1,	abuseI can’t express how real this felt to me - your interpretation of Max’s case, how Brennan would react including her media frontage, and the interaction between Booth and Brennan was all very well done. I would really love to see you continue and write the case too!
beaglelvr93 2007-08-08 ch 1,	abuseThat was really good!! Not leaving it there, I hope, although I can see how it can remain a oneshot. Great style of writing. I loved B and B holding hands. Beagle
niah1988 2007-08-08 ch 1,	abuseThis is the third time around I read this and I still like it. It's amazing how you used the song to write this. Also have to say I like the title. Booth's worried that Brennan blames him for her father's situation while Brennan doesn't blame him at all. You should do more of these snapshots. :) The scene at the window was great to read. I could easily picture them standing shoulder to shoulder, Booth quietly asking Brennan if she wanted to get away from everything. How Brennan dropped her masque when they were behind closed doors was another terrific moment. And the way they jumped apart when that bailiff interrupts them...I know what was there before you tweaked and let me just say, these lines are way better. Oh and when Booth glares at those reporters? I had an excellent visual there. I don't know if I have told you this, but I'm floored by your writing style every single time. You have a way with words, M. I couldn't be happier to have you as my editor. :) So to be short: awesome one-shot, it flowed from word to word, and it was an interesting take on the song. Thanks for the lovely read!
EmEx 2007-08-08 ch 1,	abuseI enjoyed your writing style; it is fluid and well developed. The characters are well represented and the situation is believable. I hope you'll continue this story.
