you've known me for 2 years sweets, you should expect to be impressed by me
CAN WE JUST FIRSTLY DISCUSS HOW IN EVERY EPISODE SINCE THE 100TH, THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM IN SOME WAY? HOW AMAZING IS THAT??? I honestly had no expectations, I was kind of doubting they'd even mention it again until the finale, but even in my wildest dreams I was not expecting them to pretty much have Booth saying "I'm in love with you and we both know it, but I'm trying to move on even though you love me too." NEVER EVER, and in that way the show has blown me away for the millionth time. God in Death of the Queen Bee, I had to lunge for my pause button so fast when he said "well, it's a slow song" and spend five minutes composing myself for what I knew was coming, which immediately had to be repeated after she said "oh I'm sorry, is that too difficult for you?" And then last week with "Bones, you are the standard" which !!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I never wrote about but HO-LY FUCK BEST THING ON THIS EARTH, SHE IS HIS STANDARD WHAT EVEN HOW DID THOSE WORDS LEAVE HIS MOUTH WITHOUT ME BURSTING WITH JOY. And then this week! Let's talk about our dates every five seconds (especially Brennan, WHO. KEPT. BRINGING. UP. CATHERINE OH MY GOD IT KILLED ME) and Brennan saying "OUR PARTNERSHIP IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME", which was basically Brennan saying "I love you", right??? I mean they were having a conversation about their respective dates and then out of the blue, Brennan's all "our partnership is so important to me, you know that right?" followed by EYESEX. It was like a "I will always like you the best" slash "PLEASE DON'T DATE ANYONE ELSE EVER, MY HEART HURTS WHEN YOU DO, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY BECAUSE I HAVE NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE BASE FOR THESE KINDS OF FEELINGS." And Booth! "Die for your partner, that's the way I look at it." HEARTS. HEARTS FOREVER.
Anyway I haven't even mentioned the rest of the episode yet, so I will dot point it because I thought it was super enjoyable:
- Cam and Brennan grossing out Booth with their ~lady parts~ discussion! Also Booth, all protective of Michelle, it's adorable. "She's a good girl, she doesn't have sex!"
- Brennan going on and on about how the tie meant that Booth had now entered into a social contract with Catherine. I love how you can see she's jealous but she can't even understand why herself, because she won't admit the extent of her feelings (ON THAT NOTE THOUGH, I feel she may be approaching breaking point, her behaviour in this episode was much more overtly curious/upset about Booth's dating developments than we've ever seen.)
- CAM HAVING A STORYLINE, FINALLY, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY SINCE THE PREMIERE. Cam is dating! They were adorable! I don't know why they can't find guys that aren't as attractive as their potential girlfriends, but he's better looking than Hacker, so that's something. And how they both lied about their real jobs to not freak out potential dates! I ship it, I really hope this doesn't end at any point.
- ANOTHER THING I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOREVER: A 'Brennan randomly confides in Cam scene'. I read a fic where that happened, I can't even remember what it was, but ever since then I've wanted it, because Cam isn't Angela aka Brennan's best friend slash Booth/Brennan shipper, she's more objective for Brennan in certain situations, and THIS WAS PERFECT MY GOODNESS.
"But you're seeing Hacker."
"Yes. And I like him. But not like Booth. ... I mean, not like Booth wants to like someone."
I HAD A MINI HEART ATTACK. BUT. NOT. LIKE. BOOTH. You can correct yourself, but we know that's what you really meant! You will never like any man as much as you like Booth, he has effectively ruined any potential relationship you may have with anyone, so you should probably go make out with him now instead of wasting your time on Hacker.
- People on 206_bones were making fun of the singing scene (I need to ban myself from that site forever) BUT WHATEVER, IT WAS ADORABLE, AND HALF OF IT LOOKED LIKE DAVID AND EMILY HAVING FUN. Plus the fact that he said "that's our song" would have made anything they did perfectly okay with me. This part was especially cute:
Also Booth's delight over the camp and him dancing/miming guitar playing when they first went in was HILARIOUS.
- IT IS SO HOT THAT YOU KNOW THAT. INTERESTING. IT'S INTERESTING.
- Sweets fangirling over the guitar legend, and Booth being all delighted at that. HIM SMILING AT SWEETS THAT WHOLE CONVERSATION, IT WAS PROUD/INDULGENT DADDY DUCK. "Use your ears, not your mouth. You just listen, okay?"
I'VE PROBABLY MISSED HALF THE STUFF FROM THE EPISODE THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT, BUT NOW I NEED TO EAT DINNER AND GET READY FOR UNI AT 8AM TOMORROW, BUT I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH. I am nervous about the finale though, I feel like there's only a certain number of paths they can take and I'm scared to death.
