Articles like this are my favorite; I love being able to get a glimpse into the writers minds:)

BONES fans, how intense was “The Doctor in the Photo”?

The best episode of the season thus far, right?

This was an interesting article and I thought the interviewer asked some good questions.

I hope Micah is real. I thought he was the a very fascinating character; and it was nice to see life going on after 'hours'. It makes since that some characters such as Booth wouldn't know the night watchmen.

This is how I felt.

Not to mention that Booth has a girlfriend. I know some fans will probably be annoyed he turned Brennan down, but the Booth that we’ve come to know and love over the past five seasons wouldn’t just say, “Bye, Hannah, it was nice knowing you!” He is an honorable man.
CK: Yes! That is actually what people have to [realize]. You hit it on the head. People have to remember that he’s a man of honor and a man of honor doesn’t do that. He’s the best side of the best kind of man. And it would be wrong for him to just throw off a woman that he was in a committed relationship with.I would be upset if Booth just hooked up with Brennan whether or not I liked Hannah or not.

I would be upset if Booth just hooked up with Brennan whether or not I liked Hannah or not. His reply was a very Booth thing; he responded to the situation the best way he knew how.
EXACTLY.

And if he was willing to just throw someone away that he supposedly loves, how would this make Brennan believe that love truly exists. How would she know that he wouldn't just leave her as well? I think that Booth really giving this a chance with Hannah will be better for her and Booth when it's their time to be together. If, after all that time, they find each other again - it was definitely meant to be.

As much as Brennan's confession and Booth's rejection broke my heart, I wouldn't have wanted the scene to go any other way.

I thought it was great acting on both parts. I didn't want the scene to go any other way either.

And I agree; if he suddenly dumped Hannah for Brennan; what would stop him from doing the same thing to her.

It's like the guy who cheats with his mistress and leaves his wife. He'll probably leave that mistress too. Poor analogy. LOL.

That's a pleasantly uplifting interview after the episode. Makes me feel better and less sad about it all.

I actually find it interesting that the writer didn't want that scene to occur in the car. In some ways, I felt that was one of the better choices of the episode . . . because of the way they've used car scenes in the past. In particular, there was language in the episode that I felt was supposed to intentionally remind us (cruelly!!) of events in The End in the Beginning, and so having noticed that set up this car scene to be in contrast to the one from that episode.

I agree. The car is were they often have their talks about many things in their lives.
