Goofs:

Factual errors: Hodgins says that pink syenite is the "Cadillac of granite" which is completely false. Granites and syenites are classified differently depending on their mineral composition (syenites have hardly, if any, quartz).

Quotes:

Dr. Camille Saroyan: You arrested the Deputy Director of the Secret Service for voyeurism.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah. Bones in her office?
Dr. Camille Saroyan: That is awesome! And really, really stupid! You gotta love a self-destructive man with values.

Eaten

So here wee go with the story arc involving cannibalistic killers. A skull is dropped off a highway overpass, hits a windshield, and leads the team to a secret vault that suggests people are being killed and eaten or vice versa, and possibly by more than one individual. This is the start of the adventures of killer who evidently belongs to a shadowy society for such killers, and frankly nothing could bore me more. I hope it will not have the same effect on you. The greatly missed Zach is back, by the way. We do get our first look at the cool-looking metal skeleton that will figure more prominently as this particular story arc unfolds.
