Loved it

The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond is by far the best episode of Season four and possibly season three by far. I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the episode and didn't feel cheated or over-informed. The story line was fabulous, including a great amount of depth, explanation, and completeness. The character development was fabulous, and had just the right amount of development to seem very realistic, not just some made up fluffy crap or cold hard murder case. The surprises were the perfect amount as to not seem ridiculous, but to make sense and seem like real life. All in all, I really freaking love this episode and believe it made not only a great installment, but a great moving piece in the Bones series/season four.
