“The Princess and the Pear,” last Thursday’s episode of the लोमड़ी, फॉक्स दिखाना Bones, opened with a group of eighth graders dressed like wizards and warriors playing Dungeons & ड्रॅगन्स in a sewer.

And my first thought was, “Oh, God, here we go again with the tired stereotypes of कल्पना enthusiasts!”

The kids soon find a decomposed corpse dressed like a princess — which makes sense, of course, because it’s only RPGers who root around in sewers, never football players या rodeo riders.

Soon the apparent murder is being investigated द्वारा Dr. Temperance ‘Bones’ Brennan (Emily Deschanel). Special Agent Seeley Booth (Angel’s David Boreanaz) Bones‘ regular co-star, is waylaid द्वारा an injury this episode, so बोन्स is joined in her investigation द्वारा another agent (guest तारा, स्टार Marisa Coughlin).

The corpse in the sewer, it seems, was the owner of a highly prized artifact — “Excalibur,” the sword used in the first कल्पना film ever made.

Truthfully, I wasn’t particularly impressed द्वारा the plot, या the “reveal” at the end, which seemed pretty obvious. Don’t आप need a red herring if आप want your audience not to be sure who the killer is?

Anyway, the episode mostly struck me as an excuse to parade — for laughs — an endless assortment of stereotypes of fantasy-enthusiasts: the goth girl, the history nut, and — mostly — the nerds and geeks.

Oh, Lord, were there a lot of nerds and geeks.
