I didn't post this on Friday because the way Anthony is with Lost, is the way I'm getting to be with Bones. I have to analyze and interpret and just generally observe before I come to my conclusion. So this weekend, while cleaning the apartment, I thought, hey, let me pop on the Tivo and rewatch Bones while I clean. The cleaning was obviously delayed because I got sucked in once again. And then my laundry loomed in the corner, and the vaccuum cleaner leered at me from the closet, so I delayed cleaning further by writing this up for all of you fine people to enjoy.
I swear I don't know where to begin...
The Good
More Caroline. Her deadpan humor is awesome, as is her car.
Sweets' haircut. Kinda diggin' it. Anybody else?
Hodgins new room...complete with a cage of...what were those, butterflies?
Everything in general.
The Awww
The look on Brennan's face when Harmonia said she was pregnant.
The look on Booth's face when he hugged Brennan.
The smile on Brennan's face when she hugged Booth.
The awkward moment when Angela mentioned that Harmonia knew Brennan was pregnant in her book, especially the way she smiled and then looked down.
Booth admitting to Cam that he was in love with Brennan.
Booth visiting Brennan at the dig...and looking all kinds of conflicted.
Booth's socks.
Booth's little folder of scrapbooked articles.
The Amazing
The entire scene where Booth saves Brennan, especially:
The way he held onto her.
The way she held onto him.
The kiss.
The fact that it was so reminiscent of 2 Bodies in the lab, but multiplied by like 1000%.
The Only Thing That Ticked Me Off
Continuity error MAJOR with Brennan having no sort of bandage on her arm. Um, that was QUITE alot of blood. If that medication that she was on can heal an injury that fast, can I get some? Cause I get these papercuts and if I took that stuff, it'd be like I just blinked and they'd be gone.
Continuity error MINOR: Booth says to Sweets he hates clowns, but then is totally fine with the clown at the end.
Best Lines
Bones, let me suit up! (so very Barney Stinson of him!)
You never lost anything in that coma Agent Booth. You gained something.
I did forget that I wore goofy socks, so we can do one for that.
Be sure about your feelings, because if you crack that shell and you change your mind, she'll die of loneliness before she ever trusts anyone ever again.
Would you like me to kiss you on the forehead too? Sure.
Don't touch the bobblehead!
Do you know what this is a picture of? Yeah, and I'm guessing this is the closest you've been to one in a LONG time. It's a PET scan of your brain. Oh, then I was wrong.
If this is your version of dirty pictures, really not working for me.
Let the nuerosurgeons have your brain. They know about your brain. They don't know jack about your heart.
I gotcha, baby. *THUD*
I'm on medication. So I feel how I imagine people of average intelligence feel all the time.
The answer to that question that you're afraid to say out loud is Yes. He knows the truth of you and he's dazzled by that truth.
Booth, do not kill the clown.
I love you. *THUD*
General Observations
Some people on other blogs, on Twitter and on other message boards have commented on Sweets' reaction about Booth's supposed feelings. I do have a couple theories on this.
1. He is an FBI shrink who just cleared Booth for duty. It's his job to make sure that Booth (and Brennan as his partner) is working to his full potential. Sweets could know that if they get together, there's a more probable chance of them being split up. And the Baby Duck don't like that.
2. The main way I took it was that he deeply cares about Brennan. While Cam pointed out a very true statement, that if Booth's feelings aren't real, Brennan will never trust anyone again, Sweets knows this tenfold. He couldn't even say the words of what might happen to her if Booth is wrong.
Unrelated sidenote, I added the "Don't touch the bobblehead!" line as one of my favorites for two reasons. #1 is about a promotional product and #2 he's totally right. They're easily breakable. Just ask my Barney Stinson bobblehead that was sent to me by CBS. Come to to think of it, CBS has sent me that bobblehead and I've gotten a promotional t-shirt from NCIS. What's up with the giveaways Hart Hanson? I heard the Bones season 5 press kit included rainbow socks, I wouldn't mind receiving a pair of those.
So yeah, a couple continuity issues aside, all in all I think it was one kickin season premiere.
And in case you couldn't tell from all that...I really dislike cleaning my apartment. BUT I did eventually do it on Sunday and now it's not only neat and tidy, but it's sparkly!
