Since I am watching a number of TV shows via community means, I decided to give a short opinion of said episodes.
The season began a few weeks ago, so here comes a bulk review:
Bones 5×01 Harbingers in a Fountain
While it was a nice start into the season it bothered me that they showed an actual fortune-teller without exposing her as a fraud. Especially Bones should have never accepted this fact.
Bones 5×02 The Bond in the Boot
Except for the fact that they played with the James Bond theme it was average.
Bones 5×03 The Plain in the Prodigy
I am totally agnostic and don’t really care for any religion. But I didn’t like how they portrayed the Amish’s reaction to the victim’s piano playing: “Oh that sounds so beautiful, why would God forbid playing instruments?”. The Amish are obviously very strong in their faith, I can’t imagine them questioning their believe just because they hear one musical instrument.
Castle 2×01 Deep in Death
One of these “We have to resolve our differences that came up by the end of last season by the end of the first episode of this season” episodes. He apologized and all was well. But it was cool how Castle played Poker with the Russian mob and how Beckett got him out of there. 
Castle 2×02 The Double Down
I’ve seen this kind of plot recently (without Castle’s betting pool of course 
) on Bones IIRC. But on Bones it had been 3 victims/murderers, not just two. Normally I wouldn’t watch such a show at all but Fillion/Castle makes it totally worthwhile.

Stargate Universe
Chevron 9 encoded. Chevron 9 … locked. On a planet some 21 light years from Earth an SG team has discovered a Stargate that’s not hooked into the normal Stargate system. They’ve discovered that it can be encoded with 9 symbols, instead of the usual 7 (or 8 to reach Atlantis in the Pegasus galaxy). But the planet is under attack and the core reaches a critical point which will tear the planet apart. They have no choice but to jump forward … only to find themselves on an ancient Ancients spaceship that travels through space quite a few galaxies away from home.
So far I’ve only seen two thirds of the three-parter pilot. On the one hand this could be the kind of show Star Trek: Voyager never was but that depends on how they solve their shortages of basically everything. But I also have a problem: Except for Eli I don’t really like any of the characters on this ship, especially not the “leader”, Dr. Rush. He only seems to care about this discovery and not about the people around him. Maybe it’s a premature evaluation but he comes across as rather unlikeable character – and not in a House way.
Of course I will watch the third part and a few more episodes but their main concern must be to give these characters personalities.
