"THE SHALLOW IN THE DEEP." THIS IS WHY I HAVEN'T LOST FAITH IN SHOW.
BRENNAN: YOU NEED SWEETS TO SIGN YOUR POST-AFGHANISTAN FITNESS-FOR-DUTY REPORT!
WHY IS SHE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS? I DON'T KNOW. BUT IT MAKES ME SO VERY HAPPY.
RE: THE SWEETS/DAISY SCENE. THAT WAS SOMETHING I NEVER NEEDED TO SEE. I JUST. YEAH.
LOOK AT HODGINS GOING ALL ~CONSPIRACY~ WHEN HE FIRST SEES THE PINK FUZZY BONES! D'AWWW, HE'S SO EXCITED! AND ANGELA'S SO UNIMPRESSED! IT'S LIKE WE'RE IN A TIME MACHINE BACK TO SEASON 1!
I LOVE ALL THE RANDOM OTHER JEFFERSONIAN EMPLOYEES WORKING ON THE PLATFORM. THEY DO THEIR JOBS SO WELL.
BOOTH: HOW WAS IT THAT I WENT TO SLEEP HAN SOLO AND I WOKE UP OBI-WAN KENOBI?
SWEETS: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
FANON: THAT IS INCORRECT. WHEN THERE'S A STAR WARS REFERENCE, SWEETS ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
UM, WHEN BOOTH AND BRENNAN WENT TO THE "WIDOW'S" HOUSE TO TELL HER THAT HER "HUSBAND" WAS DEAD? THEY WERE KIND OF HARSH. IF BY "KIND OF" YOU MEAN "REALLY ABSURDLY." WHICH I DO.
BOOTH: HE WASN'T ON A MISSING PERSONS' DATABASE, SO, MEANS NO ONE WAS MISSING HIM.
BRENNAN: YOU HAVE A VERY STRANGE TENDENCY TO STATE THE OBVIOUS.
ME: OH B/B, DON'T EVER CHANGE!
IT STRUCK ME AS ODD THAT THIS ENTIRE EPISODE ACTED AS IF BOOTH AND BRENNAN WEREN'T VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE THEMSELVES AND AS IF BRENNAN WASN'T A FOSTER KID. I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT.
CAM AND HER "WHAT-THE-HELL-ARE-YOU-TALKING-ABOUT" LOOK. OH CAM, HOW I LOVE YOU SO.
SO, I KIND OF LOVE ANGELA. LIKE, A LOT. IF SOMEONE COULD REALLY PULL OFF WHAT SHE'S DOING AND MAKE A PORTRAIT OF EVERY VICTIM OF THE SLAVE TRADE, IT WOULD BE AMAZING. IT'S NICE TO SEE ANGELA GETTING BACK TO HER ROOTS AS THE THESE-ARE-NOT-BONES-THEY-ARE-PEOPLE PERSON AGAIN. ALSO, YAY FOR ANGELA DOING ART AGAIN, INSTEAD OF JUST FANCY COMPUTER SHENANIGANS.
OBLIGATORY HODGINS/ANGELA FLAILING GOES HERE. EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO MELT. THEY ARE SO OTP IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. NOT EVEN.
I WANT TO MENTION ANGELA AND CAM'S CONVERSATION, BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY. PROPS TO THE WRITERS, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY DID A FANTASTIC JOB. I DO WISH THEY'D SPENT A LITTLE MORE TIME ON THE AMALIA ROSE THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE RATHER THAN GIVING JUST THIS CONVERSATION, THE END, AND THE BRIEF, SCATTERED SHOTS OF CAM, BUT I THOUGHT WHAT THEY DID GIVE US WAS REALLY POIGNANT AND WELL DONE. ALSO, I WISH THEY WOULD GIVE TAMARA TAYLOR MORE SCENES LIKE THIS, BECAUSE WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE, SHE ABSOLUTELY SHINES.
SO... BOOTH WAS KIND OF A JERK THIS EPISODE, YEAH?
WAIT, ARE DAISY AND SWEETS TOGETHER AGAIN? OR ARE THEY JUST "BONDING?" I'M CONFUSED.
IN CONCLUSION: THERE WAS MUCH YAY, AND A LITTLE NAY. I AM PLEASED.
On an entirely different subject, my world was shattered today when I found out that a Hebrew phrase I've been using for years is apparently grammatically incorrect. You can't say -בגלל ש. I mean, you can if you want to, but it's as grammatically cringe-inducing as "ain't." I don't even know what to do with this information. I'm still reeling. But maybe-- just maybe-- I can pull through.
