Yes, I did it again. I read a spoiler. What else is new? I mean, seriously. For as many times as I say that I can quit and go cold turkey, if I hear of a spoiler and I immediately flock to it like the salmon of Capistrano. Even yesterday, I told Dan when my birthday surprise was going to be. Sure, he tried to play it off that the boss really did need to see us to discuss product descriptions but I know better. (Props to 3 of my team members for shoving themselves behind a cubicle though) But back to the spoiler...I'll give you guys a chance to not be ruined.
Turn back now if you don't want a Bones spoiler....
I mean it...now's your only chance....
Alright fine...you asked for it...
According to TV Guide, when Bones returns in the fall Seeley Booth will not return alone. He'll come back with a *gasp* girlfriend! A journalist who "embedded herself with his unit in Afghanistan." So those pterodactyl-like shrieks that you heard last night were the Bones fans reading and absorbing the news. Although, I feel like I already knew this. There were hints of this around the time of the season finale, but the details of who the gf actually was were null. Now we know and I find myself thinking that there's several reasons why this isn't a bad thing. In fact, there are 10 of them and you can read them below.
10. Journalists have gotten a new pick up line courtesy of that spoiler. "I'm a journalist. May I embed myself with your unit?" (Courtesy of @stamos on Twitter!) PS: So using this during Fleet Week. Do Navy guys even have Units? You know what? I don't care.
9. Because Hart Hanson doesn't get yelled at nearly enough on Twitter from the Booth/Brennan fans and it'll feed his masochistic side.
8. New nicknames! With the arrival of Dr. Bryar we were graced with some good ones. I'd offer some suggestions, but since I don't know her name I can't think of any goodies & I did always want to coin an awesome fan-based nickname...oh! What about the rewhoreter? Kinda like reporter...no? Well it's still early. I've got time.
7. The possibility of Booth getting some on a regular basis means the possibility of a drastic increase of shirtless DB scenes. Surely, we can forgive little grievances if they result in a drastic decrease of apparel on one Seeley Booth.
6. Longing looks from her. Does anyone do heart crushed better than Emily Deschanel? Though the spoiler does say that she'll encourage this atrocity, I still expect to see some Emmy-worthy scenes from her.
5. Longing looks from him. The only one who might do heart crushed better than the fabulous Ms. D is the Boreanaz. That man could emote a page in phone book with the right look and convince us that we really need the services of an overpriced injury attorney.
4. With the recent heat waves across the country, people are being advised to stay inside. You can enjoy air conditioning by making voodoo dolls! Poke, poke, poke...
3. Shirtless DB scenes. Yes, I know I said it before, but it warrants mentioning again.
2. See numbers 3 & 7.
1. Because it has to happen.
For as much as we all want Booth & Brennan together, and for as many people that scream that putting them together wouldn't be the end of the show, there's too high a possibility that it could be. Plus, think of all the great storylines we'll be getting with this one. Booth feeling tortured that he can't be with Brennan, thinking he made a mistake. Booth trying to move on and failing. Brennan feeling heart crushed that she missed her moment. Brennan finally opening her eyes to the possibility of a life without Booth. Here in the world of web writing, we have a saying "Content is King." Basically you can have the prettiest, shiniest little website but without some meat on its bones, it's useless. Bones is better than that. So lets all trust @HartHanson and @squarechicken to lead us down the right path. I think that all Bones fans know deep in their hearts that everything happens eventually. So let's just trek down that path to eventually and have some fun in the meantime.
