You do have a good point about Booth's feeling being out in the open. It seems like in most shows they'll leave two characters acting inexplicably dense for years. At least it's actually in character for Bones to be emotionally dense.

Last season I would've picked Wendell as well, but now I just can't make up my mind. They've all got things I really like about them! You know what I enjoyed? The awkward tag-team of Mr. Nigel-Murray and Zack in last season's finale. Sadly, that'll probably be their only team up. (And I haven't seen him in Mad Men yet, so that's something to look forward to when I get around to watching season 3!)
