Face of an Angel
The face of an Angel.
The body of a sinner. It doesn’t matter that she’s the villain of this
particular episode of BONES
(2005-2017), although one just finds that out in the end. This is, after all, a
nicely done whodunit-procedural-crime-series. And it doesn’t matter that I give
this info up ahead. One needs not be particularly attentive to the intricacies
of plot structure to figure it out when one first catches a look of Lena
Brodsky (then Emily Foxler, actually Emily Baldoni).
Her manner is all
professionalism, and yet conveys some insecurity. Her Ukranian accent (how
refreshing that this was done prior to the 2022 Russian invasion, when Ukranians
could still be villains, and not just washed-up saints), or what passes for it
in TV-land, makes her voice oh so sexy
and as inviting as those deliciously pouty lips and those clear grey-green eyes.
And those long, long legs… they just make you wonder… Can someone with legs
like these be so innocent as those sweet big eyes imply? Can someone so hot
really feel even a little insecurity? Or is it just a mask? A way of allay
suspicion, just as the bejeweled belly of a black-widow spider makes it look
just an object of natural beauty?
Some women are just like that. They look so
sweet and so innocent, they makes us want to do things for them. And to them. And if you fool yourself, even
for a tiny moment, that you’re on top of things, they’ll bite your head right off.

I don't recall having seen the actress before, but I will keep a weather-eye out from now on!
Oh, I hadn't seen her before, as well. And, bearing in mind that this particular BONES' episode dates from 2009, and that I've just seen it for the first time, you can see how out of date I am. On a looksee at her IMDB's page, she doesn't seem to have had many (if any) significant roles, and what roles she had(s) were (are) mainly on TV series, the majority of which I didn't, don't, and do not intend to see.
However, she caught my fancy on her brief appearance in this episode, and as usually is the case, it made me wonder of what could have been if she had had other, more interesting roles. Or of what this particular character could have done in other circumstances (a series of her own, perhaps?) There remain a couple of appearances in some other series that I am watching intermitently, so I'm curious to see if she has the same impact in a different role.
Hope you had a warm and happy Christmas, Gene. And I wish you, in advance, a Happy New Year.
