Booth and Brennan Top Ten Moments (Season 1 - 3)
So I am always watching videos over at You Tube where people show their top ten moments from tv shows and especially shipper moments. I've seen quite a few Booth and Brennan top tens and it made me wonder what my top ten moments are....or indeed if I could choose a top ten (since there have been so many and I have a terrible memory). So here goes my attempt to choose ten top shipper moments where Booth and Brennan have made my heart melt a little bit *wub* Note: This is for season 1 - 3 only and already I could add / edit for the scene where have Booth tells Brennan that there is someone for everyone....my fave season 4 shipper moment so far......maybe i'll re-do after season 4 and see how the top ten changes. *squuee*
Close runners up:
Let's face it there have been lots and lots of brilliant Booth and Brennan moments - from dinner at Wong Foo's to meals at the diner - from Roxy and Tony in Vegas to Booth's crappy sex speech - from Booth giving Brennan her earring back to the wedding scene where Brennan thanks Booth for telling her about her father - from Brennan's Halloween date analogy to Booth and his gifts of Jasper the pig and Brainy Smurf, singing poco at the diner.....and finally the looks shared between Booth and Brennan after her father walks free from court ..... yes people there have been many many beautiful BB moments..... and choosing a top ten was tough ... but lets get started.
Booth and Brennan Tp Ten Moments
10. 115 Two Bodies in the Lab - "I figured you didn't get all dressed up for me."
Booth gets blown up and Brennan gets kidnapped forcing both Brennan and Booth to face feelings of loosing one another. The rescue scene is amazing when Booth shoots the guy and lifts Brennan form the hook, taking her arms around his neck and into his embrace is so amazing. But it's the ending that's cutest. Brennan, all dressed up and ready for her date, visits Booth in hospital. The moment is awkward yet Brennan still chooses to ditch her date to spend time with her partner. *le sigh*
9. 216 Boneless Bride in the River - "Everything happens eventually".
I love this scene the most because it represents Sully leaving and Brennan's choice to stay .. for Booth. Booth's grin as he waves goodbye is so cute - he is secretly overjoyed that Sully has left and he has his girl back!!! I remember watching it for the first time and I was so happy that Sully had left as well - I felt like Booth - all smiley and happy.
Booth: ""Give it time Bones, ok, Everything happens eventually."
Brennan: "Everything?"
Booth: "All the stuff, ok, that you think never happens, it happens. You've just gotta be ready for it."
8. 209 Aliens in a Spaceship - "I knew you wouldn't give up."
After a stressful and emotional episode Booth rescues Brennan (again) and although I adore the scene where he runs to rescue her it's the end that I love the most. The scene in the church where Booth finally allows Brennan to go with him is just beautiful. He prays and she sits back silently observing. They discuss how saving Brennan and Hodgins saved them all and Booth says he is thankful for that. Brennan then looks at Booth, she almost looks as if she might cry but instead she simply say "I knew you wouldn't give up" to which Booth replies the exact same words in the same knowing way "I knew you wouldn't give up." It's such a simple sentence but is shows just how deeply these two now understand each other and the lengths they know the other will go to to find and protect one another. Simple but total understanding.
7. 207 The Girl with the Curl - "When you look the way you do"
After solving the case Brennan and Booth eat donuts and Booth tells Brennan she'd never understand women wanting to change their appearance because "You're structured...very well." He gets up to leave when he sees Cam but ends up staying to help Brennan finish their paperwork. I love this scene because we see Booth realise that he'd rather spend time with Brennan than his girlfriend *wub*...... "thai food!"
6. 309 Santa in the Slush - "I love my gift, Booth".
Sure we got the kiss in this episode - which was fun and nice. But for me the best shipper moment was the gift. The looks shared between Booth and Brennan when he got her the tree were just beautiful. And the gesture in itself just shows how much Booth will do to make Brennan happy. He is so thoughtful and such a gentleman......and so wanted to share her family moment and make it special.
5. 222 Judas on a Pole - "There's more than one kinda family Bones."
Booth comes to tell Brennan her father has killed the Deputy Director of the FBI. Booth shows real understanding in this scene saying he's sorry Brennan had to watch her family drive away again. The way he looks at her and touches her face - they seem like they will kiss but of course they don't. Very very emotionally charged scene!!
4. 210 Headless Witch in the Woods - "You're not alone."
After admitting to Brennan that he's never been in a relationship like this before with a woman he offers his partner a "guy hug" following her tragic relationship with the murderer. Brennan's hesitation to accept his hug for a second implies she thinks Booth wants to move their relationship forwards and only when he says "Hey, your my partners, it's a guy hug. Take it." does she allow him to take her into his arms. I always think this hug shows how much Booth wants to take care of Brennan - she's had a bad day and he wants to be there for her.
3. 205 The Truth in The Lye - "There are certain people that you just can't sleep with".
Brennan asks Booth how it went with Rebecca.
Booth: "You know what Bones, it might be all anthropology to you but there are certain people that you just can't sleep with. I mean you can pretend that it's just sex , you can lie to yourself and say it's all good, but there's just too many strings and too much at stake.......too much to loose."
Brennan: "Yeah, I can see that."
The looks they share in this scene are so sexually charged. And when Brennan says:
Brennan: "I'm sure Rebecca's not your only option for satisfying biological urges".
The looks become totally HOT! I always wonder what would have happened in this scene if Angela and Hodgins hadn't walked in.
2. 122 Women in Limbo - "I know who you are."
The breakdown of Brennan and the hug which follows from Booth is such a tearjerker of a moment and although the scene really focuses on Brennan and her family it (and the whole episode) really says a lot about her relationship with Booth. Booth has been protecting her and taking care of her all day and the fact that she can just completely cry her eyes out in his presence shows how much trust she has in Booth. The way he stands back and lets her say what she needs to say, repeating her name and is there for her, taking her into his arms at just the right moment and saying "I know who you are.....". It's just so precious.
1. 304 Secret in the Soil. "That's our relationship, coffee."
So many of the season 3 BB moments seemed contrived but their therapy scenes were all terrific. I love this scene because it's not just a cute BB moment - it's probably the first (and only!?) scene where they are forced to consider their relationship.....not just as it is working together, but also how it would be if they no longer worked together.
In the scene they discuss the closing of a case and this makes Brennan jump to the defence of Booth when Sweets starts "questioning his humanity". Sweets says they are protective of each other and complement each other - "He means that we complete each other as a team." Booth seems awkward at this and Sweets then says there is "clearly a very deep emotional attachment between you two". Booth and Brennan say there is a line they don't cross "it doesn't even have to be there" and Sweets asks why Booth thinks that what he means:
Booth: "If there were no more murders, I probably would not.... even.... see her."
It takes Booth so long to get these words out....he really struggles, even just with the thought of not seeing her.
Sweets is also perfect in this scene. The way he looks up subtly from his notepad when they Booth says "What?" is just superb.
The words, the looks, the underlying tension, the possibility of a relationship beyond their work - it's all just perfect.
The end. Feel free to share your own and remind me of all the ones I've missed!!!
