"Bones, you are the standard."
Okay. Go watch this scene again. I'm ordering you to.
Did you see his face?
No?
Go watch it again.
Now.
His face?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I cried a lot. Not the kind of rocking-back-and-forth-in-the-fetal-position sobbing, but the quiet crying that just HITS you all of a sudden, like a punch to the gut, and the tears just keep coming for reasons you can't really understand. Except I totally do understand because it's motherfucking Seeley Joseph Booth and his motherfucking amazing love for one Dr. Temperance Brennan.
Shit, you guys, I know it's just a show, but it's a Show. A show with a capitalized S because it is the definition of amazing television. The way they are handling this awkwardness? FABULOUS. Pure, spectacular, awkward conversations that are really just about them loving each other and saying it over and over again without really SAYING it. And having dates after dates with other people and talking about those dates while on a date and and and
THIS MOTHERFUCKING SHOW
I'll have more somewhat coherent things to say later on when I post a mini-squeecap (yep, mini, because I don't have much time this week for a normal one) but for now,
"Bones, you are the standard."
