Mitch is arrested. DiANNe0985. Ive experienced it with real people and I dont think this is off-base. Their connection just falls flat to me now. Bones charges the big man and tackles him, because she is still walking in Booth's aggressive shoes. They had a chemistry between them that was totally undeniable- they had to in real life have that chemistry, because that is often how selections are made in hollywood for leads in shows. It does, however, support my theory that the person on the show that appears to be least in touch with humanity is, in fact, the greatest. And if HH were a man like Booth and some uppity woman tried to lead him around on a string, well, hed show her what-for, yessirree. Through the power of a living GI Joe doll he can act out whatever you want to call his problem.

November 14th, 2011 7:09 pm, Jasper on I really get a chuckle out of the creators saying that the B & B relationship is so organic this season. I guess that they are now competing with the comedy shows. I doubt well ever know for sure, but considering HHs public rage when Booth is [rightly] criticized for being a jerk to Brennan, I tend to think hes always been a member of the He-Man Woman Haters club and Dr. Brennan is right where he always intended her to bedefeated and humiliated for daring to be a subversive role model for young women. I didnt want to be ungrateful, but this episode just sucked. Booth explains Bones is "doing it again", but she doesn't quite understand. There is clearly a disconnect with the writing of this show. I enjoyed the episode. I love the show obviously and the character of Brennan will forever be my favorite, so its very bothersome when they sloppily write her character as learning empathy for the first time.

It comes from prolonging the inevitable for THAT long that all character progression and growth gets diluted down with the constant relationship reset. watching her do this made season 6 brennan such a waste. All of the angst and heartbreak of last season and we end up with an even more clueless Brennan. Thats just ridiculousness. In this case, she didnt invite him out of a sense of autonomy, but rather, because the ultrasound images are pixelated black and white, and Booth only likes movies in color. Funny that Brennan can pick up on what is going on with Finn who she just met, but somehow has forgotten about Booth and what he cares about. It turns out the man is now a rotting corpse. Mr. Sedlak! Everything just seems really fragmented and the characters jut split up. Wow well, wow Michaela Conlin looked extremely uncomfortable. Maybe this is reflected as to how he wrote Brennan last season for rejecting Booth. Thats when I decided to leave and take BONES off of my TiVo. I would also be considered a hater by Andrea, and Im all right with that. The Hot Dog in the Competition (2011) Goofs. The case, Finns addition to the lab (and the teams reaction to him), and the B&B stuff (more on this later), added up to one of the worst episodes in series history.

I agree, Brennan listening to the babys heartbeat did not mesh with her aloofness over Angelas if it had been you ultrasound question. I personally am not seeing that at all. November 11th, 2011 3:50 am, JaneDoe on Did HH & Co. spend so much time and exquisite effort building up a multi-dimensional, beautifully complex female protagonist with the EXPRESS INTENTION of eventually tearing her down? Hannah, I daresay, just because Id like to see some sort of REACTION from these characters, because I have no idea who these pod people are. But when Angela was doing that, Finn caught her, therefore making Angela feel guilty as well. The . Yet Booth does mean things and acts like an ass and all is forgiven?

Do I think maybe the Finn stuff was kind of heavy? He was my second highlight. These names are references to Opie Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show, and Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island.
