..all caught up on Bones..
This post is only about Bones as I just sat here the other day and watched episodes 15-22. Yay for being sick...? Whatever - it gives me the time to sit and watch stuff. (Right now I'm trying to watch NCIS and then I'll have to pick another show to get caught up on)
So here's the deal. I'm not feeling the same love for Bones that I once did. I don't know if it's due to being a show that perhaps is better watched week to week rather than episodes running together. I don't know if it's due to the fact that David Boreanaz has now joined the ranks of the "big-fat-stupid-head-assholes" in Hollyweird that feel they can just go ahead and bang whatever opens her legs or bats her eyes regardless of familial commitments. I don't know if it's due to the fact that I HATE it when they stick Emily in belted dresses that only accentuate her slightly flat/wide body shape (no offense to Emily). But it is what it is. However, there are some specifics I want to address and those I'll naturally do under an LJ-Cut for those that still are behind.
Let's get the likes out of the way shall we?
I love Sweets. Period. Every time. All the time. Always and forever Sweets. You and me.
Booth might just be my hero. Always.
It was good to see Zach again, if even in just the one "flashback" episode.
I LOVED seeing the Gravedigger back, but thought that the one episode would have been filled out a bit more in a couple of episodes. However, I teared up when they found that boy and found the evidence that would nail shut their case.
The Witch episode was FANTASTIC I thought. Might have been a fave from this season.
I loved that Sweets proposed to his girl. And she said yes.
I'm glad Jack and Angela finally got hitched and dug that it was in jail. I actually got surprised. Not that they were together - but the wedding.
LOVED the sheriff that married them - I used to love watching him bumble around on Prison Break.
The rotating Interns are quickly becoming truly some of my faves...
Okay my PEEVES are a little less focused and more generalized but I wonder what others think?
Anyone else pissed off that after all of this damned time, with all of the relationships that Tempe has now, she STILL withholds herself to that level? From all of them. Not just Booth. She still says "I can't change - I won't change". I find that to be highly annoying, superficial, and..? BITCHY
I've come to the conclusion that in fact Tempe is a very selfish creature when she wants to be. She refuses Booth when he finally opens that door and makes the heartfelt plea for her, but still wants him around. As smart as she is - she KNOWS he's head over heels for her and wants him around. Knowing it hurts him on the level it does. And she doesn't waste any time flirting around or dating. (He takes a bit more time and has to force himself to be okay with moving on.) It grates on my nerves something fierce. There is fear there - in her. She knows how much she depends upon him anyway and how his being around actually improves her life. And HER and she still wants that - without giving back.
However, I didn't buy the part of the flashback that showed us that they kissed and nearly had sex - that Tempe was far too open and flirty in comparison to what we see now. That was a bunch of lame ass writing and bullshit to give the fans something I think.
I'm gonna say it and I'm gonna get pounded for it. But Michaela's head is VERY large. She is lovely - but that is true.
I hated that Sweets and his girl broke up when she was going on the dig. What is up with THAT? He has this life changing moment and realizes he wants to really LIVE and not play it safe. Then what..? They don't wait for each other..? BULLSHIT
While I embrace the idea of Cam dating - I don't see any true sparks between her and the actor playing the GYN. It feels forced and not natural.
Also? Bones might have jumped the shark with so many romantic pairings going on. Just sayin'..
But I have to circle back to the Bones/Booth relationship that is at the core of the show. I just was so disappointed in the way it went towards the last half of the season. We get all of this build up and we know there is real love there. And to see Tempe continue to just. . . not bend on any level I find tragic. And a LIE. People, even highly intelligent people like Tempe, DO in fact change due to relationships they build in life. The changes may not be obvious but they ARE there. And we've seen time and time again how she opens up and grows directly due to her relationship with Booth and others. And then when it comes down to it - she just can't see herself take that chance with him when he lays his heart out in the open? I'm sorry. THAT felt wrong. And it isn't just because I have wanted them to be together. It felt wrong and out of character from everything we've seen over the past 5 years. THAT felt forced if you know what I mean.
I don't like feeling manipulated - especially by a stupid TV show. And that is the feeling I'm left with. It's as if the writers decided to give us something for the sake of giving us something. And that sucks. And it's lame. I had no problem with waiting it out until the show came to an end. I'd rather it felt real and natural - but not this soap opera fake drama B.S.
The finale bothered me only in the sense that everyone had things offered to them for "a year" and I guess that is to allow enough time/jump forward a bit. And I know I'll give the show a chance when it comes back. But here's I felt when it ended. Oh great, next season we're going to get the season 2 of Friends - where Rachel is finally ready to be with Ross, but he has someone else.
No shit. That is what I felt like. So Tempe is gonna come back from the Islands of Moopoopoo or whatever and want to move forward with Booth. And he's going to have really moved on either with the Marine doctor, or someone he met while serving. And frankly, it's gonna tick me off. I have Friends on DVD when I want to revisit that thanks.
I welcome your thoughts and comments. Tell me if I'm high as a kite, eh?
