I thought it might be fun to create a thread where we can all share our stories on how we found Bones and what it's meant to us. Having stuck with the show for 10 season (which is quite a long time) I'm sure we all have our own unique and different stories.
For me, I found Bones while I was in college. I believe it was right before season 5 (I think) began and I caught a marathon on TNT. I enjoyed it a lot and found myself quickly getting sucked in. Was it my favorite show? No, it wasn't. I did enjoy it and found myself tuning in to reruns on a regular basis. It became my go to show after work or before going to hang out with friends. It was a show I watched while getting ready or doing some other task, I never really sat still to watch it.
Later that fall, I got very sick. I don't know if any of you remember H1N1? Swine flu? I had it.
I've never felt so horrible in my whole life. I could barely move and there were times at night when I really thought I was going to die. The treatments the doctors were giving me came with intense side effects. I couldn't keep food down (even when I did try to eat), and then even on an empty stomach my body would continue to try and make me purge. My appendix started to fail... It was just horrible. I was out of school for a month.
During that time, Bones had been uploaded to netflix. It was all I had for that month of my life. No one could get near me and doctors and nurses had to wear masks around me. I ended up watching the whole series, and several episodes multiple times. I found connection with characters and was briefly able to escape how horrible and weak I felt.
After that, I was a fan for life.
