Bones - s5e17: "The Death of the Queen Bee" Squeecap
I'm such a sucker for slow dancing. *happy sigh*
WE START OUT THIS EPISODE WITH BRENNAN AND BOOTH TALKING ABOUT TOUCHING MALE GENITALIA.
Have I even mentioned how much I fucking love this show?
Dude, I know this lady was kind of a bitch, BUT THIS BITCH KNOWS WHERE IT'S AT. "Nice wheels. Nice face, and bod. Very nice." THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD BLURT OUT IF I EVER MET DAVID BOREANAZ IN PERSON. Except, it'd be more along the lines of, "OH MY SHIT I WANT TO BE ON YOU AND HAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL BABIES LET ME RUN MY HANDS ALL OVER YOUR BODY AND CAN WE GET A HOTEL ROOM RIGHT NOW BEFORE I EXPLODE FROM SEXUAL FRUSTRATION."
After which I would receive a shiny new restraining order that I could frame and hang on my bedroom wall.
Or a t-shirt that says, "I stalked David Boreanaz and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."
I felt sorry for Brennan throughout most of this episode. Here she is, remembering every name of the person she comes across from her old high school (and seems kind of excited to see them again), and these bitches only remember her as the "creepy" girl, and still act like 17 year-old assfaces. I mean, I can understand their hesitancy towards Brennan, but they are ADULTS now and should act like it.
But lol then Brennan goes and says shit like this and I can sort of understand their dislike of her. BUT I CAN'T DISLIKE BRENNAN BECAUSE SHE'S SO WOOBIE AND AWKWARD AND ADORABLE AND THOSE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE HER TOO IF THEY KNEW HER WELL ENOUGH.
Whatever, it's their loss. :P (I'm feeling extremely protective/defensive of Brennan lately, so that might be a theme in this squeecap XD)
I KNEW Booth was going to suggest that Brennan shove her successes in her classmates faces. I LOVE IT. Because that's totally what I would have suggested to her.
FUCK. ME.
No, really, Booth. DO ME RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW.
HOW CAN THE TAKING OFF OF A JACKET BE SO FUCKING SEXY? Probably because it's the LEATHER JACKET and underneath the LEATHER JACKET is the FBI T-SHIRT and underneath the FBI T-SHIRT is the PECS, ARMS, SHOULDERS, AND BACK CHISELED BY THE GODS.
I fucking love that t-shirt.
"It's like Freddy creepy."
OH HO HO I SEE WUT YOU DID THAR, SHOW. KEEPING POURING THE CHEESE ON. I LOVE CHEESE; IT'S DELICIOUS.
Undercover! As a married couple! Booth isn't as excited about this as he's putting on! Poor Booth! Exaggerated exclamation points!!
SWEETS: You and Dr. Brennan are in the same motel?
BOOTH: Yeah, but they are not adjoining rooms, okay, Sweets? Look, they do not adjoin. You can see the bathroom, and I’m, uh, closer to the ice machine.
SWEETS: No, I’m merely asking because of your feelings for Dr. Brennan.
BOOTH: Right, I get it, alright Sweets? I respect that, but you know, I’ve moved on; I already even have a date for next week.
SWEETS: Really? Who might that be?
BOOTH: Thanks. Take care.
SWEETS: Who might that be, Booth? Booth? Who might that be?
SWEETS I LOVE YOU. LOVE YOU SFM. S.F.M. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME QUESTION I WOULD HAVE ASKED BOOTH.
Me thinks the gentleman doth protest too much. ;)
LMAO GOOD JOB, HODGINS. *facepalm* Poor Wendel. :P Situations between these three are always so awkward, awkward, very awkward. AND I LOVE IT. I'm really glad Hodgins slipped up because this leads to the break up! :D I feel mean for being excited about it, but oh well. XD
LOLOLOL WEDNESDAY ADAMS. IT'S SO TRUE. AND ADORABLE. But omg she had spiders for pets? D: D: D: D: I FUCKING HATE SPIDERS. CAM AND I HAVE THAT IN COMMON. DAMMIT, NOW I'M ALL ITCHY BECAUSE I STARTED THINKING ABOUT THEM.
Okay, this is One Crazy Bitch, but she made me lol right here.
I love the look Booth gets on his face whenever another guy is macking (did I really just use that word?) on Brennan. It's a sort of Are-You-Seriously-Attempting-To-Flirt-With-My-Woman-While-I'm-Standing-Right-Next-To-Her Look. AND I FUCKING LOVE IT (especially when he uses it on Hacker in The Proof in the Pudding). It's my third favorite Booth Look. The second being the I'm-Going-To-Gaze-Endlessly-Into-Your-Soul Look, and the first being the I-Feel-Like-I'm-Going-To-Kiss-You Look (i.e. The Parts in the Sum of the Whole).
Aww, Brennan, you are just the cutest person EVER. She's all, "LOL I'M FAMOUS AND RICH" and it's perfect. And I adore her for asking Booth if she did it right. XD And Booth is just facepalming all over the place. BUT HE LOVES IT, TOO.
BOOTH: I’m, uh, her husband, Bobby Kent. Temperance’s lesser half.
BRAD: …So, you guys have any kids yet?
BOOTH: Oh, no, not yet, but we want a houseful.
BRENNAN: Yes, we have intercourse every chance we get.
BOOTH: Wow. Uh, yeah, all over the place.
It is SO WEIRD to hear Booth call her "Temperance." But it's also kinda hot.
AND ROTFLMFAO AT BRENNAN ONCE AGAIN. And how Booth goes along with it. XD YEAH, WE KNOW YOU TWO WANT TO HAVE INTERCOURSE ALL OVER THE PLACE, RESULTING IN A HOUSEFUL OF CHILDREN.
OMG WENDELL YOU ARE JUST THE SWEETEST. While I'm super glad him and Angela aren't together anymore, I still feel bad for him. I'LL MARRY YOU, WENDELL.
LOLOLOL BRENNAN OMG SERIOUSLY I LOVE YOU. She's practically best friends with a creepy janitor and just smiles all nice and big when he says things like, "You've grown up good."
Whereas Booth is...well, he's the audience surrogate in this scene. XD
D: HE CREEPS ME OUT SO MUCH. I still have Freddy nightmares sometimes. DAMN YOU, KRUGER.
But lol I like how the show did this. They KNOW it's cheesy and they are totally playing that up. WHICH IS AWESOME.
I just...I can't get over Brennan in this scene. LOOK AT HER. SHE'S ALL PEACEFUL AND ADORABLE AND OMG I JUST WANNA HUG HER.
Okay, so everyone and grandma knows that I find everything Booth and Brennan do absolutely adorable, BUT OMG YOU GUYS HER LITTLE PUNCH TO THE ARM AND "NEWSPAPER MAN" WAS SO ADORABLE. And kind of reminiscent of the arm punches and "atta boy/girl" from Harbingers. SO I'M GOING TO INTERPRET THAT ARM PUNCH AS AN "I LOVE YOU" FROM BRENNAN TO BOOTH OKAY. SHUT UP I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT IT WAS BUT I'M GOING TO PRETEND THAT THE END OF EP. 100 NEVER HAPPENED. (EXCEPT IT DID AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND PAINFUL AND OMG SHUT UP JENNY THIS ISN'T THE 100TH EPISODE SQUEECAP)
FUCK YOU, FREDDY KRUGER, WITH YOUR CREEPY LOOKS AND YOUR FRIGHTENING SMILE. D:
I laughed throughout this whole scene, though, what with the stare down between Booth and CreepyFreddyJanitor and the tear duct thing. OH, SHOW, YOU ARE SO SILLY.
LOL SWEETS I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU THE TIME OF DAY IF WE WENT TO THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL.
Clinical but insulting...DOES THAT REMIND YOU OF ANYONE, BRENNAN? XD
BAHAHAHAHAHA AMAZING. BAD PHOTOSHOP, BUT STILL AMAZING NONETHELESS. And I love Booth's little clap. XD Gotta love yearbook pictures. :P
"I run a kindergarten." OMG CAM HOW ARE YOU SO CONSISTENTLY FABULOUS? I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. BUT OMG WHO CARES BECAUSE YOU ARE AWESOME.
I love that these two have girl talks via webcam. Well...Angela is girl-talking, Brennan is...spouting off historical information, lmao. But in her own way, it's girl talk. :P
"If I had covered my paper, she would still be taking that class." BEST. EVER. BRENNAN, I'M GONNA SAY IT AGAIN, I LOVE YOU.
And I love how Ranger Bitch goes from Bitch Mode to OMG Booth Do Me Now Mode.
"So, somebody killed her with a really sharp piece of pie." I LAUGHED. SO HARD. AT THIS. LINE. And I laugh whenever I eat pie now because I hear this line in my head. HODGINS, I ALSO LOVE YOU A LOT A LOT.
JULIE: So…what’s going on? Leaving me out of the gossip?
BRENNAN: No. I love to gossip. Remember when you were locked out of the locker room in your underwear and the boys took pictures and then they put it all over school? [laughs]
JULIE: I can’t believe you’d bring that up.
BOOTH: That’s not gossip, honey, that’s embarrassing.
BRENNAN'S VERSION OF GOSSIP IS A+ IN MY BOOK. Especially when it's about crazy bitches like Julie. BITCH, YOU'RE CRAZY.
"Oh, I can't believe it would be her. Her cakes are so light and fluffy!"
Note to self: Makes cakes more light and fluffy, otherwise people might think you murdered someone.
YAY! We all knew they'd break up eventually, but it's nice to see it anyway. :P And I LOVE how they handled it. Very little drama, and it was just all so relaxed and nice. WENDELL AND ANGELA, I LOVE YOU BOTH VERY VERY MUCH.
This whole damn squeecap is like one big love letter to these characters. I MEAN, WHEN IS IT NOT? But still. THESE CHARACTERS, YOU GUYS.
I applaud Booth's patience when it comes to people correcting him all the time. I'd pretty much go insane if I had to be around INSANELY SMART people all the time. XD
So this is the guy who put the Smurf on her locker? HMM. Not really, but oh well. PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE ANYWAY, BOOTH. And really, Andy? No offense, but, no woman in her right mind would divorce a man like Booth for a creepster like you. D:
AND OMG I LAUGHED SO RIDICULOUS MUCH AT "GO INFLATE A DOLL, ANDY." That is one cool lady.
What kind of person actually says, "You actually look normal now" to someone?? I just...that's so awful. You lost your cool points, lady. I was lucky enough to grow up in a fairly decent high school, so I never had to deal with mean people like that.
*HUGS BRENNAN*
"Yeah? Your cake isn't bad either. You sure you and Morticia are working out?"
"Slow down."
I LOVE how David Boreanaz said that line. XD Seriously, all the woman from Brennan's high school are ALL OVER HIM. Not that I blame them, but come on, ladies, be a little more classy please.
I LAUGH EVERY TIME FREDDY APPEARS. And then I shrink back in horror.
Booth. Booth.
Booth.
I love you.
Booth. Booth.
Booth.
I love you.
And you're still a creepy motherfucker, Freddy.
Brennan. Brennan.
Brennan.
Stop being so adorable.
ANGELA, YOU ARE A LUCKY, LUCKY BITCH. To have two AMAZING guys in love with you? Most women would kill for that! Well, maybe not kill, but do something drastic, probably. I WOULD SELL MY RIGHT PINKY TOE TO HAVE TWO AMAZING GUYS BE IN LOVE WITH ME. Or even just one. I would actually prefer just one, thank you.
BEST. DANCING. EVER. EVER.
EVER.
Hey David? Emily? Remember how I proclaimed by love for you in regards to that phenomenal acting you did in episode 100? And said that you should both receive many awards for said acting?
WELL
YOU SHOULD BOTH ALSO RECEIVE MANY, MANY AWARDS FOR THIS EPIC DORKY DANCING. Seriously, a lot of actors would never embarrass themselves like that, but these two? JUST GO FOR IT. COMPLETELY. And it's wonderful. And I laughed. So much. The Electric Slide? The Sprinkler? THE FUCKING SPRINKLER. Oh. Oh, these two.
BRENNAN: Oh- can we dance, Booth? It’s Seal.
BOOTH: Well, it’s a slow song.
BRENNAN: Oh, I’m sorry. Is that too difficult for you?
BOOTH: I- I just don’t want any misunderstandings here, that’s all, Bones, I mean, you know, we, uh, opened up a door there that neither one of us wants to walk through.
BRENNAN: I- I was just asking to dance, because I remembered the song… I’m sorry.
AWKWARD AWKWARD VERY AWKWARD. But so...deliciously awkward. AND THEY ARE FUCKING TALKING ABOUT THE INCIDENT. I love it! I'm so glad they didn't just sweep it under the rug.
Okay, you guys, it's time for me to step up on my soapbox again. Some people have been calling Brennan 'cruel' and 'cold' because of this moment. I kind of understand where they are coming from, but I could never consider Brennan to be cruel. She's...Brennan. Here's what I think (copied from my Tumblr):
I don’t really think it was Brennan being callous, more like she was...compartmentalizing? That’s what she does best, after all, lol. All she was thinking at that time was, “OMG SEAL I KNOW THIS SONG BOOTH WILL DANCE WITH ME BECAUSE HE'S MY FRIEND” instead of really thinking about the possible consequences of the dance, for both herself and Booth. But once Booth mentioned it, she sort of began to realize what was going on (and if you watch her face during the dance? she REALLY starts thinking about it), but I think she was still not allowing herself to dwell on it, because if she did, she would begin to lose control of those emotions (just like we saw her lose control when Booth asked her to give them a shot) she tries so hard to keep to herself.
I noticed that throughout the whole episode, things were a bit...off. It’s almost like they are both overcompensating for what happened between them. Sort of like a, “LOOK AT US EVERYTHING’S FINE NO DRAMA HERE” kind of situation. They are both very, VERY aware of what’s still going on between them, but they are choosing to try and “move on” from it. Not that they will ever move on, of course. ;)
BOOTH: Naw, you know what, hey, it’s just a dance; it’s- it’s your reunion, let’s do it, okay, let’s dance.
BRENNAN: Oh. [laughs] Why are you so far away?
BOOTH: You know, just keeping room for the Holy Spirit, that’s all.
So apparently 'Holy Spirit' is the new code for 'erection.'
AHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
At least, that's what I'm going to call it from now on.
But, aww, Booth, you are so woobie. *pets*
"Why are you always so suspicious of Mr. Buxley?"
"Why? Because, you know, he's psycho, he has access to the shop, and he has a huge knife."
LOL.
BOOTH: Bones, you’re tearing up.
BRENNAN: This is the prom I never got to go to.
AND THEN I CRIED. How anyone can call Brennan cruel after seeing a scene like this (OR ANY OTHER SCENE BRENNAN IS IN) totally confuses me. She's still that lost, scared teenager, and moments like these bring out the emotions she tries so hard to keep to herself. She's just...I mean, how can anyone hate her? Yes she can be VERY frustrating, but she has so much heart, and it's hard for people to see that.
Booth sees it, though. Every day, and that's why he loves her. And that's why he takes her in her arms in this moment, despite how much pain it might cause him.
And that's why he could never 'move on.'
BOOTH I. FUCKING. LOVE. YOU.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THE WAY HE LOOKS WHEN HE FIRST HOLDS HER? GUH GUH GUH. I just want to cuddle him.
I'm just gonna stare at them for a really long time, please continue on with your business.
But okay seriously you guys I cried during this scene too. So much so that I had to pause it so that I could collect myself before watching the rest of the episode. It's just that they look SO IN LOVE. So incredibly in love. Booth is loving this opportunity to hold her, but is also so conflicted. And you can see in Brennan's expression that she's realizing why Booth was hesitant to slow dance in the first place. But she's also holding onto him very closely.
THEY JUST DO THINGS TO MY EMOTIONS OKAY.
LOOK AT THEM.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK.
guh
I love love love how she tucks her face into his neck for a moment there. <3
"This is fun! ...except for the murder." LOL
"They're a freakin' love story and I'm feeding cats." Oh man, I really hope I'm not her when I get older, lmao. I WANT TO BE IN A FREAKIN' LOVE STORY.
Booth, please continue to be adorable forever and ever okay?
"Them smiley ones...always gave me the willies." I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU, FREDDY. But you know who else gives me the willies? YOU. YOU, SIR, GIVE ME THE WILLIES, THE HEEBIE GEEBIES, ETC.
LOL BYE CRAZY BITCH. And oh my gosh, Booth's little wave is amazing.
"He is better for having known you, Angela."
"How can you be sure?"
"Because I've been there."
Hodgins, how are you such a perfect man? Seriously. How? You need to tell me so that when I get a boyfriend, I can inform him of the Ways to Be a Perfect Boyfriend.
I'm so fucking excited for when these two finally get back together. IT'S GOING TO BE EPIC. NOT JUST EPIC, BUT MEGA EPIC. MEGA EPIC SQUARED. TOTALLY RIDICULOUSLY EPIC.
"I tried to change their perception of me by telling them how rich and successful I'd become, but they still didn't like me."
"Why would you tell them that?"
"You know, she didn't do it right."
"You told her to do that?"
I LOVE IT WHEN WE HAVE GROUP SCENES LIKE THIS. TEAM AWESOME ALL TOGETHER IN ONE ROOM = THE WORLD IMPLODING FROM TOO MUCH EPICNESS. idek
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETS. <3 You horndog. You're getting married soon, so I'd keep those comments to yourself. ;) BUT I LOVE YOU, YOU ARE ADORABLE, ETC. ETC. ETC.
"Look, they didn't dislike you, Bones, they just didn't understand you; it's a big difference."
"It didn't bother me. I found the reunion to be quite educational. And you were right; it was good to go back. It made me see how lucky I am, now. This is what friendship looks like, this table. I am very lucky."
AND I CRIED AGAIN. DAMMIT, SHOW, YOU ARE REALLY FUCKING WITH MY EMOTIONS, DID YOU KNOW THAT?
please continue to do so.
THIS TEAM, YOU GUYS. THIS FUCKING TEAM. MADE OF AWESOME AND LOVE AND LAUGHTER AND FUN AND AFHLKASHFHKAJLSF.
I'm half-asleep as I'm typing this up, so I'm gonna have to end it there. WITH LAUGHTER AND TEARS AND JOY.
Y'all know what to do. ;)
WE START OUT THIS EPISODE WITH BRENNAN AND BOOTH TALKING ABOUT TOUCHING MALE GENITALIA.
Have I even mentioned how much I fucking love this show?
Dude, I know this lady was kind of a bitch, BUT THIS BITCH KNOWS WHERE IT'S AT. "Nice wheels. Nice face, and bod. Very nice." THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD BLURT OUT IF I EVER MET DAVID BOREANAZ IN PERSON. Except, it'd be more along the lines of, "OH MY SHIT I WANT TO BE ON YOU AND HAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL BABIES LET ME RUN MY HANDS ALL OVER YOUR BODY AND CAN WE GET A HOTEL ROOM RIGHT NOW BEFORE I EXPLODE FROM SEXUAL FRUSTRATION."
After which I would receive a shiny new restraining order that I could frame and hang on my bedroom wall.
Or a t-shirt that says, "I stalked David Boreanaz and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

I KNEW Booth was going to suggest that Brennan shove her successes in her classmates faces. I LOVE IT. Because that's totally what I would have suggested to her.
FUCK. ME.
No, really, Booth. DO ME RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW.
HOW CAN THE TAKING OFF OF A JACKET BE SO FUCKING SEXY? Probably because it's the LEATHER JACKET and underneath the LEATHER JACKET is the FBI T-SHIRT and underneath the FBI T-SHIRT is the PECS, ARMS, SHOULDERS, AND BACK CHISELED BY THE GODS.
I fucking love that t-shirt.
"It's like Freddy creepy."
OH HO HO I SEE WUT YOU DID THAR, SHOW. KEEPING POURING THE CHEESE ON. I LOVE CHEESE; IT'S DELICIOUS.
Undercover! As a married couple! Booth isn't as excited about this as he's putting on! Poor Booth! Exaggerated exclamation points!!

BOOTH: Right, I get it, alright Sweets? I respect that, but you know, I’ve moved on; I already even have a date for next week.
SWEETS: Really? Who might that be?
BOOTH: Thanks. Take care.
SWEETS: Who might that be, Booth? Booth? Who might that be?
SWEETS I LOVE YOU. LOVE YOU SFM. S.F.M. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME QUESTION I WOULD HAVE ASKED BOOTH.
Me thinks the gentleman doth protest too much. ;)
LMAO GOOD JOB, HODGINS. *facepalm* Poor Wendel. :P Situations between these three are always so awkward, awkward, very awkward. AND I LOVE IT. I'm really glad Hodgins slipped up because this leads to the break up! :D I feel mean for being excited about it, but oh well. XD
LOLOLOL WEDNESDAY ADAMS. IT'S SO TRUE. AND ADORABLE. But omg she had spiders for pets? D: D: D: D: I FUCKING HATE SPIDERS. CAM AND I HAVE THAT IN COMMON. DAMMIT, NOW I'M ALL ITCHY BECAUSE I STARTED THINKING ABOUT THEM.
Okay, this is One Crazy Bitch, but she made me lol right here.
I love the look Booth gets on his face whenever another guy is macking (did I really just use that word?) on Brennan. It's a sort of Are-You-Seriously-Attempting-To-Flirt-With-My-Woman-While-I'm-Standing-Right-Next-To-Her Look. AND I FUCKING LOVE IT (especially when he uses it on Hacker in The Proof in the Pudding). It's my third favorite Booth Look.

And kind of reminiscent of the arm punches and "atta boy/girl" from Harbingers. SO I'M GOING TO INTERPRET THAT ARM PUNCH AS AN "I LOVE YOU" FROM BRENNAN TO BOOTH OKAY. SHUT UP I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT IT WAS BUT I'M GOING TO PRETEND THAT THE END OF EP. 100 NEVER HAPPENED. (EXCEPT IT DID AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND PAINFUL AND OMG SHUT UP JENNY THIS ISN'T THE 100TH EPISODE SQUEECAP)
FUCK YOU, FREDDY KRUGER, WITH YOUR CREEPY LOOKS AND YOUR FRIGHTENING SMILE. D:
I laughed throughout this whole scene, though, what with the stare down between Booth and CreepyFreddyJanitor and the tear duct thing. OH, SHOW, YOU ARE SO SILLY.
LOL SWEETS I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU THE TIME OF DAY IF WE WENT TO THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL.
Clinical but insulting...DOES THAT REMIND YOU OF ANYONE, BRENNAN? XD
BAHAHAHAHAHA AMAZING. BAD PHOTOSHOP, BUT STILL AMAZING NONETHELESS. And I love Booth's little clap. XD Gotta love yearbook pictures. :P
"I run a kindergarten." OMG CAM HOW ARE YOU SO CONSISTENTLY FABULOUS? I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. BUT OMG WHO CARES BECAUSE YOU ARE AWESOME.
I love that these two have girl talks via webcam. Well...Angela is girl-talking, Brennan is...spouting off historical information, lmao. But in her own way, it's girl talk. :P
"If I had covered my paper, she would still be taking that class." BEST. EVER. BRENNAN, I'M GONNA SAY IT AGAIN, I LOVE YOU.
And I love how Ranger Bitch goes from Bitch Mode to OMG Booth Do Me Now Mode.
"So, somebody killed her with a really sharp piece of pie." I LAUGHED. SO HARD. AT THIS. LINE. And I laugh whenever I eat pie now because I hear this line in my head. HODGINS, I ALSO LOVE YOU A LOT A LOT.
JULIE: So…what’s going on? Leaving me out of the gossip?
BRENNAN: No. I love to gossip. Remember when you were locked out of the locker room in your underwear and the boys took pictures and then they put it all over school? [laughs]

"Slow down."

Booth. Booth.
Booth.
I love you.
And you're still a creepy motherfucker, Freddy.
Brennan. Brennan.
Brennan.
Stop being so adorable.
ANGELA, YOU ARE A LUCKY, LUCKY BITCH. To have two AMAZING guys in love with you? Most women would kill for that! Well, maybe not kill, but do something drastic, probably. I WOULD SELL MY RIGHT PINKY TOE TO HAVE TWO AMAZING GUYS BE IN LOVE WITH ME. Or even just one. I would actually prefer just one, thank you.
BEST. DANCING. EVER. EVER.
EVER.
Hey David? Emily? Remember how I proclaimed by love for you in regards to that phenomenal acting you did in episode 100? And said that you should both receive many awards for said acting?
WELL
YOU SHOULD BOTH ALSO RECEIVE MANY, MANY AWARDS FOR THIS EPIC DORKY DANCING. Seriously, a lot of actors would never embarrass themselves like that, but these two? JUST GO FOR IT. COMPLETELY. And it's wonderful. And I laughed. So much. The Electric Slide? The Sprinkler? THE FUCKING SPRINKLER. Oh. Oh, these two.
BRENNAN: Oh- can we dance, Booth? It’s Seal.
BOOTH: Well, it’s a slow song.
BRENNAN: Oh, I’m sorry. Is that too difficult for you?
BOOTH: I- I just don’t want any misunderstandings here, that’s all, Bones, I mean, you know, we, uh, opened up a door there that neither one of us wants to walk through.
BRENNAN: I- I was just asking to dance, because I remembered the song… I’m sorry.
AWKWARD AWKWARD VERY AWKWARD. But so...deliciously awkward. AND THEY ARE FUCKING TALKING ABOUT THE INCIDENT. I love it! I'm so glad they didn't just sweep it under the rug.
Okay, you guys, it's time for me to step up on my soapbox again. Some people have been calling Brennan 'cruel' and 'cold' because of this moment.

But once Booth mentioned it, she sort of began to realize what was going on (and if you watch her face during the dance? she REALLY starts thinking about it), but I think she was still not allowing herself to dwell on it, because if she did, she would begin to lose control of those emotions (just like we saw her lose control when Booth asked her to give them a shot) she tries so hard to keep to herself.
I noticed that throughout the whole episode, things were a bit...off. It’s almost like they are both overcompensating for what happened between them. Sort of like a, “LOOK AT US EVERYTHING’S FINE NO DRAMA HERE” kind of situation. They are both very, VERY aware of what’s still going on between them, but they are choosing to try and “move on” from it. Not that they will ever move on, of course. ;)
BOOTH: Naw, you know what, hey, it’s just a dance; it’s- it’s your reunion, let’s do it, okay, let’s dance.
BRENNAN: Oh. [laughs] Why are you so far away?
BOOTH: You know, just keeping room for the Holy Spirit, that’s all.
So apparently 'Holy Spirit' is the new code for 'erection.'
AHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
At least, that's what I'm going to call it from now on.
But, aww, Booth, you are so woobie. *pets*
"Why are you always so suspicious of Mr. Buxley?"
"Why? Because, you know, he's psycho, he has access to the shop, and he has a huge knife."
LOL.
BOOTH: Bones, you’re tearing up.
BRENNAN: This is the prom I never got to go to.
AND THEN I CRIED. How anyone can call Brennan cruel after seeing a scene like this (OR ANY OTHER SCENE BRENNAN IS IN) totally confuses me. She's still that lost, scared teenager, and moments like these bring out the emotions she tries so hard to keep to herself. She's just...I mean, how can anyone hate her? Yes she can be VERY frustrating, but she has so much heart, and it's hard for people to see that.
Booth sees it, though. Every day, and that's why he loves her. And that's why he takes her in her arms in this moment, despite how much pain it might cause him.
And that's why he could never 'move on.'
BOOTH I. FUCKING. LOVE. YOU.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THE WAY HE LOOKS WHEN HE FIRST HOLDS HER? GUH GUH GUH. I just want to cuddle him.
I'm just gonna stare at them for a really long time, please continue on with your business.
But okay seriously you guys I cried during this scene too. So much so that I had to pause it so that I could collect myself before watching the rest of the episode. It's just that they look SO IN LOVE. So incredibly in love. Booth is loving this opportunity to hold her, but is also so conflicted. And you can see in Brennan's expression that she's realizing why Booth was hesitant to slow dance in the first place. But she's also holding onto him very closely.
THEY JUST DO THINGS TO MY EMOTIONS OKAY.
LOOK AT THEM.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK.
guh
I love love love how she tucks her face into his neck for a moment there. <3
"This is fun! ...except for the murder." LOL
"They're a freakin' love story and I'm feeding cats." Oh man, I really hope I'm not her when I get older, lmao. I WANT TO BE IN A FREAKIN' LOVE STORY.
Booth, please continue to be adorable forever and ever okay?
"Them smiley ones...always gave me the willies." I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU, FREDDY. But you know who else gives me the willies? YOU. YOU, SIR, GIVE ME THE WILLIES, THE HEEBIE GEEBIES, ETC.
LOL BYE CRAZY BITCH. And oh my gosh, Booth's little wave is amazing.
"He is better for having known you, Angela."
"How can you be sure?"
"Because I've been there."
Hodgins, how are you such a perfect man? Seriously. How? You need to tell me so that when I get a boyfriend, I can inform him of the Ways to Be a Perfect Boyfriend.
I'm so fucking excited for when these two finally get back together. IT'S GOING TO BE EPIC. NOT JUST EPIC, BUT MEGA EPIC. MEGA EPIC SQUARED. TOTALLY RIDICULOUSLY EPIC.
"I tried to change their perception of me by telling them how rich and successful I'd become, but they still didn't like me."
"Why would you tell them that?"
"You know, she didn't do it right."
"You told her to do that?"
I LOVE IT WHEN WE HAVE GROUP SCENES LIKE THIS. TEAM AWESOME ALL TOGETHER IN ONE ROOM = THE WORLD IMPLODING FROM TOO MUCH EPICNESS. idek
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETS. <3 You horndog. You're getting married soon, so I'd keep those comments to yourself. ;) BUT I LOVE YOU, YOU ARE ADORABLE, ETC. ETC. ETC.
"Look, they didn't dislike you, Bones, they just didn't understand you; it's a big difference."
"It didn't bother me. I found the reunion to be quite educational. And you were right; it was good to go back. It made me see how lucky I am, now. This is what friendship looks like, this table. I am very lucky."
AND I CRIED AGAIN. DAMMIT, SHOW, YOU ARE REALLY FUCKING WITH MY EMOTIONS, DID YOU KNOW THAT?
please continue to do so.
THIS TEAM, YOU GUYS. THIS FUCKING TEAM. MADE OF AWESOME AND LOVE AND LAUGHTER AND FUN AND AFHLKASHFHKAJLSF.
I'm half-asleep as I'm typing this up, so I'm gonna have to end it there. WITH LAUGHTER AND TEARS AND JOY.
Y'all know what to do. ;)
